you'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

[flagitate]

[ After a hell of a trial, Katniss needs to focus her energy into something. So, the afterparty it is. Since she's not good at this kind of stuff, she's had some help. She'll pass out invitations to anyone she passes by, or she'll slip them under the door. ]



[ There is some food set up, but it's very much in sealed containers. Cookies, specifically, along with anything else she could scrounge up. There are very tightly sealed bottles of drinks, too. After that whole thing, she figures it'd be best to tread with caution. She won't blame anyone who brings their own food, of course.

There are fixings for smoothies, just in case someone's feeling it. Katniss has set up a couple of blenders around the game room. There's also some surf 'n' turf food, to honor Mack, too.

There are some decorations--courtesy of the guys, of course, because how the heck do you decorate for anything. ]

Didn't exactly part on great terms?

[A nervous laugh.]

I kind of uh... lost it, huh?

[flagitate]

... Yeah.

[ She lifts a shoulder in a shrug. ]

I don't blame you.

[didntgetdadslooks]

... you know, my dad used to get really angry whenever I swore.

[Likes: swearing!]

You didn't hurt your hand in there, did you?

[flagitate]

I think it's pretty great. You should do it more if it makes him mad.

[ Fuck you, Jack. ]

A little bit. He had a hard head, but I've had worse.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Then fuck him for his hard head, too.

[HE IS NOT WORTH EVEN DISCOMFORT]

Good job with the party, by the way

[flagitate]

No kidding.

[ YOU SWEAR UP A STORM, ANGEL. ]

It wasn't just me. I had a lot of help. I... actually didn't do a lot.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ON IT.]

Still, it's nice to see everyone banding together to put these on every week.

[flagitate]

[ If only they could band together to not murder one another horribly... but Katniss bites her tongue against the urge to say that. ]

Yeah. Almost makes up for how shitty the day's been, I guess.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[OH TRUST HER, ANGEL SHARES THAT SENTIMENT, BUT... A-AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS OR REFUSING TO TALK TO EACH OTHER??]

Almost, yeah. [She sighs.] But in the end there's not much more we can do than keep moving.

[flagitate]

Funny. That's what Isaac said.

[ ... ]

So you play cards?

[didntgetdadslooks]

He's kinda where I got it from, so... [OOPS....]

[She looks at them.]

I can play War, but I don't know a whole lot of other games.

[flagitate]

It's not a bad thing.

[ Hm. ]

I've never played with cards before.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Want to play War, then? It's pretty easy.

[flagitate]

Sure. How do you play?

[didntgetdadslooks]

You deal the deck out, 26 cards each, then you each flip over the top card and the higher one takes it and puts both cards on the bottom of their deck. If they're the same, you flip more cards until someone wins them all. And the idea is to get all of the cards. Sound good?

[flagitate]

Yeah. Sounds pretty easy.

[ She'll wait for her to deal out the cards. ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[Doot doot doo, dealing out cards.]

Not a big fan of card games back home?

[flagitate]

I've never really had the chance to play.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Hey, something we have in common. I should try to pick up a few more games at some point.

[flagitate]

Maybe we could learn together.

[ Katniss puts down a ten. ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

We definitely have time to play them and figure stuff out.

[Since they're rooming together and all. Angel puts down a seven :(]

[flagitate]

Yeah. Do you think there's a book in the library about card games? Or something in here.

[ Katniss takes the cards, then puts down a three. Ouch. ]

[didntgetdadslooks]

I don't know. We could always ask someone.

[A five! Mwahaha. Angel takes the cards.]

[flagitate]

Maybe we'll get a group together.

[ Darn you Angel...! Katniss puts down a queen this time. ]
