First shot ; video
[There is the tell-tale sound of heaving in the background. The communicator is on its side, camera facing a cup of some clear alcohol on ice that's swirling in a tumbler. Where did this mysterious alcohol come from when Haymitch appears to be newly-arrived, you ask? We may never know.
His cheek is still stinging from where Katniss had gouged him, but it was a dull thrum that didn't seem so bad when he couldn't see straight. Eventually, he manages to get the camera upright and gives it a winning grin – or it would be winning, if there wasn't the telltale glisten of vomit on his lower lip. Some might not notice that.]
So, we're in for another Game. Different rules, sure, and a real 'battle', but – [and he waves his hand toward the camera,] – still. I should introduce myself, if that's the case.
[He makes a mostly-unsuccessful attempt to straighten himself up a little, leaning heavily on the outside wall of the nearest building before forcing himself to his feet and dipping himself in a sloppy bow.]
Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the second Quarter Quell. I come from District 12, home of coal and very little else.. This place is at least less of a violent assault on the senses than the Capitol – nobody's hair has made me shield my eyes yet. That's something.
[He produces a flask from his jacket pocket and places it to his lips, tipping it completely upside-down to suck the last few drops from it.]
Tell me, fellow captives -- how do you feel about the likelihood we'll be forced to kill people we know nearly nothing about in the name of this place's 'freedom'?

[Emma's face is a study in well-bred horror.
Irene, help.]

That he apparently lives with...]
Were you expecting someone with a little more class?
Video;
[She doesn't think expecting someone not to throw up on a live feed is too much to ask. Even of someone from West Virginia
that's District 12 right.]Video;
You should just be impressed I haven't fallen down yet, ma'am.
[He'll probably at least wait until he's not going to throw up uncontrollably to find his new home, though -- if only because he needs to stop by Johanna's first and have her explain just what the hell he's missing from his memories.]

[They are going to be best friends.]

You're not from the Capitol by chance, are you?
Video;
[It's called breeding, you cretin.]
Which capital?
[Familiarity with Panem: none.]
Video;
Let's just say that you'd fit right in there.
Video;
[SHE LIKES THE SOUND OF THIS CAPITOL.]
Video;
[Y e p she'd definitely fit right in.]
Video;
[Right up until she found out the Games involved children, at which point the telepathic carnage would be unimaginable.]
Video;
Video;
That is your standard?
Video;
[Hey, hey. That's a compliment, okay lady?]
Video;
Well-spotted.
Video;
[That's -- actually true.]
Video;
[Emma's even smiling the tiniest bit. She likes dry humor.]
Video;
See you at home, then.
Video;
Do try not to hurt yourself on the way.
