Grassi had a wide grin on his face. His hands were in his labcoat as he turned a corner. A man was following behind him..this man was wearing a grey doo rag, a white t-shirt and black vest...and an awesome goatee.

He looked around as he entered a room. "Where could she be?" He was referring, of course, to Nanami. Before he could simply set to work on a means of providing entrance to the arena, he wanted to extend the reach of the rebellion. Something neither the higher up or comrade disagreed with.

He brushed back some of his brown hair, impish and excited.

Kanna was quiet for a moment, before she spoke once more "What are you talking about, I called to check on Melanie. I want her to be the one who comes home alive....I don't have anything...I don't have anything to tell you"

Then an awkward silence.

Nanami was alone in her room, sitting on the floor with her back to the side of her bed. She felt tired, but she was simultaneously restless. The memories were coming back. She remembered the Arena. Running through the woods. Hiding in a cave. Stabbing one of her fellow Tributes in the chest. Resting with her head in his shoulders…

“Damn it.” Nanami opened her eyes and stood up. She didn’t have time to think about what she went through. She didn’t have time to think about everything she had lost… then she heard a sound, and turned around to see Grassi and another man.

“What?” She asked, her patience very thin.

[Tribute’s Train]

Rica frowned. Maybe this was good… he didn’t need to think about that possibility anyway. No, what he needed was vodka… and rum… and tequila… all three mixed together in one large glass so that the moment he downed it all he would be ready to pass out on the floor.

“… The girl just looks familiar, that’s all.” Rica replied, his voice strained. “Look, she’s fine and I’m going to do what I can. If we get caught talking they’ll take it out on you.”

"F-Familuar?"

Kanna went quiet again, she didn't want to think of the possibility of Rica finding something out that he didn't need to learn.

"She's looks just like me, hence being my daughter...And I don't care, it's worth the risk if I get to make sure she's okay..."

Suddenly Rica's door opened, Melanie (followed by Galv) walking in...The girl looked over to Rica, noticing what he was holding. Her eyes widened. "T-That's a phone!"

Shuuuut up Melanie.

She girl rushed over, glitter from her dress and hair floating behind her.

Rica frowned. The way Kanna responded… it made the pit of Rica’s stomach churn. Maybe that was just sobriety… Either way, he had a feeling he was going to be miserable even once the hangover came and went.

Then Melanie and Galv appeared. Rica frowned.

“… She’s fine, and she looks wonderful all gussied up for the cameras, so stop worrying.” Rica said. He paused for a moment. “… I have to go. I need to brief them before the interviews with Flickman. I’ll keep the phone, I’ll call you back…”

Grassi's smile only grows. "Nanami, I'd like you to meet my friend here. His name is-"

"THREEEE DOG! At your service, ma'am." The man in shades smiles.

"Yes. He's going to be our instrument in propaganda. I've began assembling a team to begin searching for a radio tower. And Mr. Three Dog here has been traveling the desert for awhile. I think he can lead us there."

He pauses. "I plan to install him there and make him the voice of the Rebellion. He knows how to draw a crowd and how to do something he call 'disc-jokey-ing'?" Grassi chuckles softly. "I don't even understand the terminology! But get this. Three Dog used to ride with traders. With these traders, we can commence gathering. Weapons. Munitions. And most importantly..radios! We can distribute them in secret! So the voice of the rebellion can be sent directly to the hearts of the District. So while their eyes are being forced to watch the horrors of the games, they'll be tuned in to the smooth playings of Three Dog and our words!" He pushes up his glasses. "But..one thing."

He looks around. "I want you to come along with us. Nanami, people know you. People relate to your cause and reasons for fighting. People in the District..you're a figure to them. So we're going to do some heroics. Something flashy for Three Dog here to tell them. It'll boost morale and support! You're perfect for the job!"

He finally crosses his arms. "So how's it sound? You in?"

"W-Wait! She's there!?" Kanna's voice suddenly seemed more alarmed, Are you sure she's okay, make sure she has everything she needs!"

Melanie had an equal reaction, learning that her mother was on the line.

"T-That's my mom!? Can I talk to h-her!?" Melanie exclaimed, trying to make a move at the phone.

Poor Rica.

“She just walked in. She’s fine, and I’m going to make sure she has everything she needs. Just relax.” Rica frowned. He looked down at Melanie and with a groan he handed her the phone.

“… Talk quick. We could all be in a lot of trouble if we get caught with the phone.” Rica frowned.

[Rebellion HQ]

Nanami just raised an eyebrow to Three Dog. He was an odd man, and she was quite sure that he was going to annoy the hell out of her.

She did not speak, however. She listened to Grassi as he explained the entire idea. She frowned. Once, she had been the face of the rebellion… the face of hope… but she didn’t feel inspiring to people now. She wanted revenge, pure and simple. All she wanted was to kill Gallic and end the Enclave.

“… Okay. I’ll help you.” She sighed.

"I know you're not looking forward to sticking your head back out but..you're the most fit and you were in the past..Sensei's too old, I don't even fit the bill." He sighs.

"You know, when I heard what you did, jabbing the Enclave in the eyes like that, well dayum!" Three Dog began speaking. "I about fell out of my chair with surprise. It was your big move that helped the little guys, like me, aspire for freedom. Now it's my turn to pay you all back. Miss Nomura, it's a pleasure working with ya. I mean that."

Grassi smiled, slightly reassured. "I'd get some things together. We're gonna hit the road tomorrow. I have been working on some armor in the labs but weaponry hasn't even been touched. It's tough out there, Nanami. You survived the games. But the desert isn't very nice. Raiders are everywhere..and Caesar's Legion is beginning to mobilize and extend their borders. We'll have to be careful, but I doubt we'll go far enough to hit Caesar."

He turns. "Try and get some sleep..."

Melanie took the phone quickly, holding it up to her ear. "Hello!? M-Mom! Y-Yes i'm okay, yeah I promise! Mom, I miss you so much...I want to come home...I know...Mister Rica? He's very nice...But-

Suddenly Melanie paused, hearing something else on Kanna's end. It wasn't her mom and it wasn't her brother, and luckily Melanie was smart enough to go silent when she heard a struggle...

And then the phone went dead. She wasn't sure if her mother had scrambled to hang up or if someone caught her....

"S-She hung up" Melanie said quietly, handing the phone back to Rica.

I can't see what you're imagining
-The Capitol: Holding Center-

“Bit a mouth full. Do you mind if I just call you Strudel, or do you have a nickname you prefer?” the voice asked. It seemed he didn't call into question Lavan's alias, but then, he had no reason to.

“As for my name...you can call me Pibb,” the voice added, “Just that.”

-Tribute's Train-

Hammah jerked to the side as someone knocked on the door where he, Ila, and Kxs were. He paused, wondering if he should answer it, when Ila bounded forward, opening the door up.

“Hey Flickman!” Ila said, grinning, “You're here to interview my trainees, eh?”



Aiden paused, looking to Shipper. An alliance?

Aiden was entirely too naïve to think that an alliance could backfire in the Games.

“Alright!” Aiden nodded to Shipper, “We'll have an alliance! What can you do? I can make fire!”

She held up her hand, letting a small ball of flame dance in her palm.



Galv entered the room, looking at the phone. He had never used one himself, but there was one at his house that his father used.

He couldn't begrudge Melanie talking to her mother. Heck, if he really wanted to, Galv could find Samuel on the train and talk to him.

“I think I need to get ready?” Galv then asked, looking at the others, worried about the look on Melanie's face.

-Spork Residence-

Agoi sighed, turning to Rose, taking her hand. Cess had explained about being in the Rebellion. Jimi seemed gung ho about joining, about helping them.

“So, dear...what do you think?” Agoi asked, “It might be the only way to help Hammah and Kxs...and...if it works...Colette won't be in danger of going to the Games...”

“It won't exactly be easy though...and I can't promise anything...” Cess added, “If you do this, you'd be fugitives...”

Agoi frowned, looking towards Colette. Hammah had already been taken to the Games. He looked to Jimi, seeing the determination in his son's eyes.

“...I say we go for it...I can't stand around and do nothing...not anymore...” Agoi said, “But if you don't want to Rose, I won't...”

KxS jumped back as the door was kicked. She went into defensive mode, but kept her cool when she found that Ila knew this guy.

"Interview...? What for?" she asked Ila. She didn't know there would be any interview, nor did she figure there was a reason for it.


Spork Residence

Shimera was getting some sort of thrill from knowing that Cess was a Rebel. She wanted to barge in there and announce that she wanted to join as well, but she decided that the entry would be rather rude and it would scare the family inside.

"I could wait for tonight," she whispered to herself. She floated up and away to wait for him. It'd be better than having her find her in the bush she was sneaking in.

"Good evening!" Ceasar greeted Ila with a large grin, the man was genuinely friendly but it still seemed strange...The man looked over his shoulder and gave a little wave, leaving in two camera people, a makeup woman and a lighting guy. "I am! First we're starting off with-"

He looked down at a piece of paper in his hand.

"K.....S.....Interesting name! Love the creativity!"

The camera people gave a nod, while the lighting guy started to set up. Suddenly the room became much brighter. The woman with the group went to work on KxS' makeup.

"So is this the first time you two will be on camera?" Ceasar asked both tributes with a smile.

[...]

"YES! You do!"

Nyea rushed into the room, looking a bit winded. "The interviews have started so you need to get cleaned up! I have your outfit now take off your clothes!"

Even though Melanie was spaced out thanks to the abrupt ending to the call she was still coherent enough to go red in the face when Nyea started trying to tug off Galv's shirt.

Spork Residence

Rose was quiet for a moment, before finally deciding. "I understand how it will help...But...What if we're caught...What will happen to the children. They'll turn them into Avox servants..."

She looked over to Colette, not able to imagine the little girl without a tongue...In constant pain.

"Momma...It's worth it...." Colette said softly, trying to comfort the woman. The girl had no clue what she was agreeing too. She just wanted to help her brother.

Nanami could only pause quietly for a moment, turning away from Grassi and Three Dog. She stared out of the window for a moment, looking at the barren wasteland around them. The area outside of the Enclave’s territory was not in good shape. The constant warring between the NCR and Caesar had taken a toll.

She sighed, closing her eyes for a moment. If she did this, it would mean getting back out in front… it would mean having to inspire people to take up arms against Gallic. While she wanted to see the Enclave collapse more than anything, that was a lot for her to do… she had never been the ‘people person’. That had always been… him.

“… Fine,” Nanami said, and she turned back to them. “I’ll be ready by the morning.”

[Tribute’s Train]

Rica frowned at the idea that Kanna would just hang up… there was no way she would get off the phone with Melanie at a time like this. He sighed, and placed the phone in his pocket.

No use worrying about that now. He had to focus on what he could do in the short term.

“Galv, you need to get ready immediately. The interviews will be starting soon. Melanie, have you thought about what you’ll say?”

"Come on! grab all your stuff and wash up!" Nyea said, pushing Galv towards the bathroom. "And make sure you wash your hair!"

Melanie looked back to Rica, her face still bright pink. She shook her head and sat down on a nearby chair. "I don't know....I thought I would just answer whatever questions they ask me...Why? Should I say something in particular?"

She was unaware of the many lengths tributes went to in order to be desirable to the cameras...

"You look like the desirable type" Nyea said, coming back and tapping on her chin "At least in that dress"

Melanie frowned, wrinkling her nose "But i'm not that"

"Perhaps not really, but I could see a lot of men sending you all sorts of lovely things if you sway your hips and sound cute. I think you could do that character"
