005 ♆ Video

[The feed turns on to show a shirtless Finnick, hair still damp from an earlier shower. He smiles brightly, leaning back in his chair. Gratuitous chest? You betcha. There's a pause as he pops something that looks like a sugar cube into his mouth.] With more people arriving, I'm sure the strain on food resources is going to become harder for some of us. But the ocean, that's still plentiful and unharmed by Tu Vishan's illness.

For you new people, or even those who have been here a while, I'm Finnick Odair. I have a small fishing business set up. [A pause as he smiles.] Basically what I'm offering here are a couple of job opportunities. I should be able to handle a few employees, if you'd like to earn a little money and food on the side. If you like fishing, or if you'd like to learn, here's your opportunity. [He winks.] Wasting it would be a shame.

[Aww, young love. So cute. And violent!

Poor Percy.] You know, some people could consider that abuse.

That was nothing. [compared to other blows the both of them have taken] He's dumb.

I've seen dumber. [Like Katniss. She's pretty dumb.]

Not sure about that. His head is full of kelp.

Who says that kelp is a bad thing?

Too much of anything can be a bad thing.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment.] A few things, maybe, but not anything.

Moderation is always key. For anything. Too much of a good thing looses some of the charm.

[His nose wrinkles.] I disagree.

Then give me an example.

Love. Friendship. [:|a] Rope. There is no such thing as too much rope. [He likes rope.]

[just conveniently ignoring the first two rn.] What would you even do with a surplus of rope?

[You can do so much with rope, Annabeth. But he'll keep it PG.] Tie knots. Make nets. There's a long list.

You don't need a super abundance of rope to do any of that.

Why not?

Because once you figure out exactly what's needed for what you're planning, you can figure out the exact amount necessary.

What if you're not planning anything? Maybe you just like keeping your hands busy, like the work you're doing?

[Not planning anything???] That still doesn't seem like it would require excessive rope. You do what you want, get more if you need it.

[Shocking, Annabeth, I know.] Why get more if I already have it in excess? Just think of it as planning ahead.

There are other resources to prioritize above filling a house with rope.

But we were talking about what I thought you couldn't have enough of. [8Db]

All my points are still standing!

[A grin.] Your points stand. I guess I'm just not good enough to outsmart the lovely Annabeth.

Don't call me lovely. [That's it. That's the only thing she disapproves of in that sentence.]

Not a fan of compliments? [Which means, all the compliments all the time.]
