[Voice Post]You know, folks, if there's one thing we've learned today, it's that there's tons of love stories out there, and a song for each and every one of them. Trust me, I know, I've heard a million of them. But hey, as different as they all can be, some things never change, so sometimes you've just gotta get back to the basics... [OOC: So cursed. So, so cursed. The video, in case it's not displaying properly, is Da Vinci's Notebook's Title of the Song! /kicks LJ]Tags: affected, calls them like he sees them, come on get happy, curse: radio day, district 4 is better than yours, faking it like it's hot, he's so lucky he's a star, kind of a dork actually, living in a material world, makes women want to speak spanish, modesty is a foreign concept, s is for shenanigans, schmooze schmooze schmooze, what is this i don't even, wisdom is his dump stat

( Thoughts | Off-NetworkCollapse )[Accidental Video Post][The video snaps on to a very strange sight--or perhaps, multitude of sights--at once: a wildly lurching shot of the sky, a rush of water on either side, a spray of droplets landing all over the camera as more blue water slowly begins to creep in from all sides. And the microphone is assaulted with a cacophony of noises, as well: the rush of water, the whip of wind, and a reasonably familiar voice blurting an expletive in unison with the device hitting the surface of the water.
Merrily, the device begins to sink, still broadcasting water and more water and even more water, and then from a short distance away, there's a sudden explosion of bubbles rushing down from the surface as someone launches himself down into the waves from above.
A few seconds later, there's a flash of a familiar face in front of the screen--the most famous face in all of Panem, complete with sea-green eyes--and then it disappears again, the feed going dark as a hand closes around the device.
Another minute finds the two of them (man and recording) back above the surface, safely back on board a charming little sailboat with a brightly-colored sail, and now the video is shaking and rattling wildly as Finnick attempts to get the excess water off it and hopes with all his might that dropping your Network device overboard doesn't void the warranty somehow.
...Okay, well, maybe he's not thinking that last part, but he's definitely worried about getting the water out. So much so that the shaking finally makes a connection, and the video abruptly ends.][OOC: See Finnick! See Finnick's new sailboat, courtesy of the deities after he retrieved a dubloon for them on Pirates of the Caribbean day! See Finnick accidentally fumble his Network device over the side and into the ocean like the loser he is. Fortunately, it is waterproof, so he'll be able to respond to all of you just fine. o/]Tags: annie, carry on my wayward son, come on get happy, district 4 is better than yours, famous sea-green eyes, he's so lucky he's a star, i meant to do that, i'm on a boat mothereffers, kind of a dork actually, living in a material world, mags, not as planned, omg omg omg, private thoughts, s is for shenanigans, such a nice boy, the boys of summer, the eye of the storm, the life of a victor, what is this i don't even, wisdom is his dump stat, yar har fiddle dee dee

[Posted via Text Message][8:28 PM] forty-eight hours of this, right? that's how it's always been before.
[8:29 PM] two midnights, tonight's and tomorrow's.
[8:31 PM] might as well make the most of it while it lasts, i guess.
[OOC: Sob, Finnick's track record with Fourth Walls. Don't mind him being a little jaded; there are a few people he's really really hoping to see. Not you, turtles. B| So, action, Network, hit him however you like!
PERMISSIONS: No duplicate Finnicks, please (duplicates of others, I'll figure out somehow, it's cool), and please, please don't spoil him for who dies or gets tortured or...you know, the general stuff that'll break him beyond repair. Other than that, he'll roll with whatever, so have at!]Tags: affected, annie, calls them like he sees them, curse: fourth wall destruction, district 4 is better than yours, drowns in his dreams, faking it like it's hot, famous sea-green eyes, finnick odair is stalking you on twitter, he's so lucky he's a star, hit where it hurts the most, living in a material world, mags, s is for shenanigans, schmooze schmooze schmooze, sometimes i kill people, the life of a victor, what is this i don't even

( Thoughts | Off-NetworkCollapse )[Accidental Video Post][The video shakes all over as it switches on, which is largely due to the fact that it has just impacted against Finnick's exceedingly nice couch (which is also, coincidentally, how it probably turned on in the first place); for a few seconds, it gives a somewhat lopsided view of the ceiling, accompanied by the standard shuffling and clunking around of someone who has presumably just gotten home and is settling back in to the comforts of home. A few seconds later, the sound of bare feet padding across carpet becomes audible, and shortly after that, a tanned hand reaches past the camera to retrieve an object that, if watching carefully, a viewer might be able to discern as a plastic CD case. There is a rustle of paper.]"For my favorite customer"..."always look forward to seeing you"..."coffee with three sugars with your name on it anytime"...blah blah blah "your favorite barista, Tracy". [Once again, feet pad across the floor, and a CD tray whirs. A minute later, the camera and device shake wildly as Finnick apparently drops onto the couch himself, making the cushions shake as he settles in. A second after that, a remote clicks, and music begins to blast through the room.]♫ HEY, HEY, YOU, YOU, I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND! NO WAY, NO WAY, I THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE! HEY, HEY, YOU, YOU, I COULD BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND-- ♪ ...Subtle. [The remote clicks again.]♫ I LOVE MYSELF, I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME, WHEN I FEEL DOWN, I WANT YOU ABOVE ME-- ♪ ...I'm sensing a theme here. [Again, the remote clicks.]♫ ALTHOUGH LONELINESS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FRIEND OF MINE, I'M LEAVING MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS-- ♪ ...Sorry to hear that, Tracy. [Once more, there is a click.]♫ YO, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT, WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT, SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT-- ♪ ...Hey, this is kind of catchy. [And now there are no more clicks: as the song continues to play, Finnick swings his legs up onto the couch as he settles in for the long haul. The camera jostles, the cushion bounces, the camera goes dark--and the video ends.][OOC: Just another day in the life of Finnick Odair! The songs are, in order, Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend", The Divinyls' "I Touch Myself", the Backstreet Boys' "As Long As You Love Me", and the Spice Girls' "Wannabe". Finnick's admirers have old-school tastes, apparently.]Tags: annie, back to business, calls them like he sees them, carry on my wayward son, district 4 is better than yours, faking it like it's hot, famous sea-green eyes, he's so lucky he's a star, heck yeah bropartment, kind of a dork actually, living in a material world, makes women want to speak spanish, private thoughts, s is for shenanigans, schmooze schmooze schmooze, the life of a victor, what is this i don't even

[Accidental Voice Post][Here there is the unmistakable sound of ocean waves crashing against the shore, of wind streaming past the microphone, and beneath it all, if one listens closely, the sound of soft footfalls in the sand.
For around fifteen seconds, this natural symphony is all that can be heard.
At the sixteenth second, a cry of excruciating pain cuts through the rest of the noise, immediately followed by the sound of a body hitting the sand.
For another few moments, there is nothing but the sound of the wind and the waves near the microphone again. Then, at last, the sound of pained breathing becomes audible, and shortly thereafter, a gentle, feminine voice speaks:]I'm sorry.[The only response is a noncommittal grunt as the agonized breathing gradually grows steady again, punctuated only occasionally by a faint whimper. And a few moments after that, the audio ends.][OOC: So His Dark Materials raised the question of people with aquatic daemons and the lifestyle they were forced to endure because of it; being unable to get more than a few yards from your daemon means you'd never be able to leave the water. And as it turns out, Finnick's daemon is a dolphin--which means he's stranded at the beach for the weekend, despite his best efforts to the contrary. Woe is him.
This post takes place shortly after midnight, but he'll be trapped out there until the end of Grab Bag weekend, so feel free to say you're tagging him at any time during the day! For voice or video, regular text will be Finnick, and italics will be his daemon. ♥]Tags: affected, carry on my wayward son, curse: daemon day, curse: grab bag, district 4 is better than yours, drowns in his dreams, hit where it hurts the most, not as planned, odds are not in his favor, the boys of summer, what is this i don't even
