[open + closed] nothing to keep me from the storm
Who: Cashmere + you
What: After being gone for 5 days, Cashmere returns to the hotel with the fury of 1000 suns
Where: All over the hotel
When: June 8th
Warnings: likely violence and ugly crying
Cashmere wakes up in the boiler room on the afternoon of June 8th, having disappeared without warning five days earlier. Five days in hotel time, but less than two for her. The last thing she remembers is the sharp pain of Johanna's ax cutting into her chest, but that's gone now. She thinks back - before that? Katniss' arrow in Gloss' chest. It doesn't take long for the realization she's returned to the hotel to sink in, on her feet and eventually yanking the door open with a frustrated scream and one goal - to find Katniss.
It feels like something inside her has snapped and though she's exhausted and afraid of what it means to be back at hotel ( she's dead this time. really, truly, dead just like Johanna said. there isn't anything left for her in Panem and nothing for her at the hotel.) and is propelled by the rage that threatens to spill over and the need for revenge.
open
She starts with the lobby, yelling Katniss' name as though it might get her to appear. She stops to interrogate anyone she sees, and if they were expecting Cash to be happy to see them again they've pick the wrong day for a reunion. Those from Panem won't be surprised to see her verbally lash out at people - it's falling back on old habits. She's fresh from the Games and it feels like everyone is the enemy.
She does stop by her room to be sure nothing's missing, and will respond to any tablet communication.
closed - Haymitch
Despite being told otherwise by literally everyone she's come across, Cashmere's next stop after the public areas of the hotel is Katniss' (now former) room, pounding at the door. "Katniss! Katniss! Come out, Mockingjay. Don't be a coward." There's no answer, but she's already convinced herself the girl is hiding inside.
She catches Haymitch's approach from the corner of her eye, stopping her tantrum to move protectively in front of the door. "Don't come any closer," she warns. "Unless you're here to help me find your stupid Mockingjay."
closed - Hook
After her run in with Haymitch, Cashmere's finally given up on finding her nemesis but it hasn't done a single thing to make her feel better. If anything, it makes her feel worse - too much pent up anger and no outlet for it. She returns to the lobby in search of an answer (or maybe a fight. probably a fight). She's looking positively feral: wild eyed and charcoal-dirtied hands that hint that she'd even gone so far as to poke at the fireplace like it might be filled with secrets. Cashmere doesn't notice him until he's close enough to touch her, distracted by her current task of looking through all the drawers of the front desk.
closed - Trip
Exhaustion finally wins over, but not until after Cashmere has completely trashed her room. It'll cause quite the ruckus for her neighbor. When he comes by to see what the hell she's doing, he'll find that she's pulled the mattress from her bed's frame, the table and chair have been overturned, and her belongings are scattered everywhere. She tried unsuccessfully to smash the window with her suitcase, and it lays discarded on the floor.
All knocks on her door she ignored until she's finally tired herself out. Cashmere hadn't been expecting Trip (or anyone, really) and rolls her eyes when she finds him waiting in the hall. "Can I help you?"

He couldn't be anything but understanding with what she was going through. Not only had he been through a similar loss, but her disappearance had genuinely made him worry given recent events. Cashmere would have to figure out her life as a twin without her brother but Trip would have her back along the way.

"I'd want him to be happy." She's not convinced that she can do the same. Happy was hard at home, and it'll be harder now.
Still holding his hand, she moves to bury her face further beneath her other arm, like she might successfully hide away from everything. She's quiet again until her shoulders shake with an escaping sob. She hasn't allowed herself to cry until this moment.

His other hand reached to cover their joined hands as she started to sob. She could rest her head on his shoulder or arm to cry, he'd welcome it. Yet Trip didn't pull her close though he was easily able to do so. Cashmere had free reign. He'd sit and hold her hand until she pulled away or cried herself to sleep. The truth was that she suffered a loss and she had every right to mourn. He could only hope for her well being that her brother did show up in the hotel but knew there was no guarantee.

After so many years of following the Capitol's rules and doing everything that was asked with her it does feel unfair that she doesn't get a happy ending or even anything vaguely like it. She feels cheated and not having Katniss to turn her anger against somehow makes it worse.

Staying with her wasn't a selfless act. He hadn't exaggerated missing her. The hotel made friends a precious commodity. Although half of SHIELD was there, his purpose didn't really exist. Trip couldn't do his part to keep the world safe anymore. All he had was the people he cared about--both new and old. Cashmere wasn't just a pretty face but someone who weathered what no child should and persevered with the ability to still laugh and smile. How could he not fight to protect her?
