Valentine Reverie Seuss | Capitol [FIN]

Valentine Reverie Seuss

Dear pen pal,
I was excited to write to someone I didn't know, since I had been restricted so much by my parents about who I could know. I'm not sure where this letter will end up, or who will be reading it, so I will make this first one brief. I simply would like to say that I have been looking for someone to talk to that will treat me just like any other person, since most people around here either think I'm some snobby kid or too young to be where I am. I won't explain everything to you right now, but I solely would like to know if you wanted to become pen pals with me and exchange letters about our lives. Even if you are not interested, please let me know. I may end up bugging you if you don't.

Sincerely,
Valentine Reverie Seuss

Dear Valentine,

I was surprised this morning by the letter from you, and when I read it through I felt excited at the prospect of communicating to someone in this way. I would very much enjoy being your pen pal, though I know hardly anything about you. I know the same holds true for you, as you had said before that you didn't know where your letter would end up. You sound like someone very friendly and I hope you still wish to be pen pals.

Your new pen pal,
Samuel Aurost

Dear Samuel,
(May I call you Sam?) I still would love to be pen pals with you, and I agree that we know little about each other. Our names, really, is all that we have shared. It takes one of us to start the sharing, so I may as well give you a few details about myself. I live in the Capitol, a wonderful place full of colours and excitement and the location of every Hunger Games as you know. I love it very much, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else even if my parents were to allow it. I am also twenty-one, so the fact that I am still under my parent's control bothers me at time. Even so, it is nice to have parents that can provide so much for me. I never do without. Where do you live?

Your friend,
Valentine

Dear Valentine,

You can call me Sam, if I am able to call you Val. If you don't like the nickname I am open to suggestions. As for where I live, I reside in the Capitol as well. I'm on the south western edge, what part do you inhabit? If we are close we might just be able to meet instead of merely sending letters. As for my age, I am twenty-three so we are right near to each other in that respect. Are you going to college, or are you finished with school?

Until next time,
Sam

Dear Sam,
I'm fine with Val, it's what most people call me. I am in the north eastern part, so unfortunately we seem to be a bit of a distance from each other. Perhaps if an occasion arises we might be able to meet, but for the current moment I am not able to access a car to make the travel easy. In answer to your question, I am going to college even if it is labelled as an institute. I am on my last year there, working on a Bachelor of Science, before going off to Caelus University. What about yourself? Are you planning on aiming high after school?

Truly,
Val

Dear Val,

At twenty-one you are already on your last year of college? I must say I am impressed because it is a feat few would be able to achieve. Personally, I am also in my last year of college as I am taking my Bachelor of Fine Arts. I suppose I am aiming high in the sense that I want to climb the ladder of success as I make my way towards being a professional photographer. Perhaps I might even be asked to take pictures of the tributes at some point, but if only I could be so lucky. Surely with such impressive schooling as yours you must have a goal to be someone very important, what's your passion?

As well as these small-talk questions, tell me about yourself. If you don't know where to being then how about you tell me what you look like? If we are to ever meet I would need to know who to look for.

Yours truly,
Sam

Dear Sam,
I fear you overstate my intelligence, I had skipped a grade in my younger years and maintained the grade higher than my peers until now. I am no genius, though my brother and I are both known to be well-off in our grades and schooling. As well, I am sure you are a wonderful photographer and I would love to see some of your work. Even if you feel as though you can't reach that goal, I believe that you can. Just remember that confidence in yourself makes the world a little easier to manage. In regards to my passion, I eventually wish to become a Gamemaker. I know right now my dream is a far shot, but I fist want to specialize in the designing and creating of muttations. My passion for animals is only matched by my eagerness to experiment, as well as the thrill I get while watching the tributes fight with the brilliant creations of the current Gamemakers.

As I write about myself, I hope you will reply with details of your own person. I will also need to understand who I am meeting with in order to find you.

Sincerely yours,
Val

Dear Val,

Even if that was so, you must be a quick learner to be able to do so well in school ahead of your year. I get the sense that you are humble about your abilities, and I understand where it originates. Few would appreciate a girl who spoke of herself with arrogance. Still, you should not sell yourself short - I'm quite sure you are an extraordinary person. As for myself, my photos are nothing spectacular. If anything, most find them dull for lack of human life. I am not intrigued by people in the same way as landscapes and shapes. Perhaps that might change with time, but I feel as though it is unlikely. Managing to attract enough fans of my work might be difficult, but if you believe it is possible then I would pleasure in seeing it so.

You aspire to be a Gamemaker? I feel it would suit you well, you seem to be a highly creative and logical person. Even if you aren't the Head Gamemaker being one of the team would be an amazing accomplishment - and nothing you aren't capable of I'm sure. I would enjoy hearing of some of your ideas for muttations, if you ever wished to tell me. The Games are such a large part of our culture and knowing someone who might be a part of that is exciting. I wish you the best of luck on that front.

Enough of me though, I'm curious about you. I always look forward to your letters because it means I might learn more about you. Sometime soon we must meet and spend a while talking.

As usual,
Sam

Dear Sam,
If you can claim so readily that my intelligence is more than I make of it, then I can safely know that your photos must be wonderful. I thank you greatly for your support of my dreams, and I can only hope it goes half as smoothly as you think it will.

After all this time writing back and forth with you I have truly begun wishing to meet you. I feel like we would be better able to speak of all that we have touched on in these letters. You would be able to show me your photos as well, and see if my wit is really all you claim it is. I hope you feel the same.

Bye for now,
Val

Dear Val,

I would love to meet with you, we simply need to pick a date and time and I shall be there. I will of course bring some examples of my photography, if only you promise to bring some of your ideas about the Games. It's hard for me to explain the feeling that I got when I saw you wanted to meet with me, though I believe excitement is the nearest I can say. I am free at most times, so you can choose a time that would suit you well.

It will be a pleasure to meet you face to face.

Yours,
Sam

Dear Sam,
I am so happy you understand my excitement at this idea! I am busy for this week, but if we might meet during the next I would be glad to get a coffee with you. Does 10am sound good to you? So that you may know it's me: my hair is teal and I am 67 inches tall.

Oh I can't wait to meet you! See you soon!

Love,
Val

P.S. I apologize if my writing was messier than normal, but my had would not stay steady for my thrill.
