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. ]

luca's room

[glaciates]

[Isaac knocks on the doorframe to catch Luca's attention.]

Hey, you got a minute?

[notaccurate]

[Don't mind him, he is just quickly slamming the lid shut on his trunk. Isaac doesn't need to see that maid outfit.

He will also turn around and try to look all casual-like. Don't mind him, half-leaning, half-sitting on his trunk is totally normal.]

Yes. I am not busy, so yes. I have time.

...

What did you need?

[glaciates]

[He's already had one really awkward "damn he looks good in a dress" moment at Ferid HE'D RATHER NOT REPEAT THAT, THANKS!!!

Isaac looks a little suspicious about that, but he is not one to talk about being hella awkward when he's hiding something so he'll let it go.]

I didn't need anything, I just wanted to check on you. You seemed kinda restless after the trial.

[notaccurate]

[Given his options of clothing he might actually have to wear the maid dress next week, so that might still happen.]

Ah, well...

[There's a lot of things Luca could say, but he isn't even sure where to start. The 'totally not doing anything, everything is fine' half-smile he had before soon fades into a frown, and then a sad look.]

Things went very badly today.

[glaciates]

[s h i t]

Yeah. I know.

[...]

Do you want to talk about it?

[notaccurate]

[And wait until he sees the hooker boots outfit, that one is very special.]

Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt. If you don't mind talking to a man in dirty clothes.

[He says that like it matters.

And he'll pat the edge of the trunk, indicating that Isaac can sit down next to him, if he wants.]

[glaciates]

[why would you do this to him, luca, what did he do to deserve this]

...You don't need to worry that much about it. Just do laundry really late at night so no one'll see you. That's what I do.

[THE SECRET HAS BEEN REVEALED does isaac ever sleep

He'll join Luca though, sitting on the trunk and then sort of... staring. Awkwardly. He's really bad at holding a conversation.]

[notaccurate]

[Everything. He did everything to deserve this.]

Is that why I never see you running around in those ridiculous clothes we were provided?

[glaciates]

[HOW RUDE ISAAC MCDOUGAL IS AN INNOCENT MAN]

Yeah, of course. Though I did get another one of these uniforms from the machine, so that helps.

[Technically Brady got it, but mentioning Brady right now seems like a bad idea.]

[notaccurate]

You got a second one? That seems unfair, all the machine gave me was-

[A maid outfit.]

...this ridiculous piece of clothing I refuse to wear.

[glaciates]

I assumed it was because the one I showed up in has a missing sleeve for some reason. But the machine also gave me three straightjackets, so I don't really know what to make of it.

[...]

But what's the ridiculous clothing? Is it one of those weird costume things? I've got a red and green one and I wouldn't blame you for refusing to wear them.

[notaccurate]

Er...yes. It is one of those weird costume things.

[He'll just. leave it at that.]

I don't think I'll be getting my vest back either, and I'll have to scrub to try to get the bloodstains out of this shirt. If only I had access to my wardrobe back home, I have a couple spare sets of my uniform.

[Yes, he does care about his appearance. A lot. He looks downright mopey right now.]

[glaciates]

I'll let you know if I get anything out of the machine, but I think that's about all I can do to help. Unless you want one of these uniform jackets.

...I think Ferid and Aligula can sew though, so maybe they can make something for you?

[He absolutely gets caring about his appearance, he takes so much pride in his hair!!!]

[notaccurate]

If they're meant for someone your size, then it would probably be a tent on me. Plus I've never really worn another man's clothes unless I've sle-

[WHOOPS]


-s-slaved away to make sure they fit me!

[glaciates]

[...huh, that's a weird thing to say, but surely it's not questionable at all!!!]

I didn't expect you to take the offer seriously. They're not very comfortable uniforms anyway.

[notaccurate]

[Yes, it's totally normal, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.]

They do look quite stylish, if stuffy.

[glaciates]

Definitely stuffy. I can't believe I wore these things properly.

[He's got the sleeves rolled up and the jacket open, so it's slightly more comfortable.

also isaac that was like two weeks ago, you didn't remember not wearing them properly]

[notaccurate]

You have a shirt under it, yes? Why not go without the coat, while indoors?

[glaciates]

Because it feels weird not wearing it.

[...Now that he thinks about it, that's really weird. He was part of the military for a little over a year or so, but it's been seven years since he supposedly ditched... um. Why is he so used to wearing the uniform?????]

Also it'd look weird without the jacket.

[it would draw attention to the buttskirt]

[notaccurate]

[Oh yes, the buttskirt. Can't draw attention to that fashion disaster.

Speaking of which, Luca is leaning back slightly, so he can look at the back of Isaac's coat. And then he sees that it is not at all attached to the buttskirt.]

...good lord, who designed your uniform?

[glaciates]

I have no idea. It's pretty terrible, huh? They expect us to fight in these things too.

[Between the buttskirt and his hair it's a wonder he was able to fight at all.]

[notaccurate]

At least it's there to flap dramatically in the wind. Your army must have flair, after all.

[glaciates]

[...can confirm, there was a lot of dramatic flapping in the wind...]

I guess so. It's still pretty stupid and it would've been nice to have some other clothes here.

[notaccurate]

Well, if I have to have new clothes made, then you certainly could too. Or you could join me in ridiculous clothing, so I don't feel so alone.

[glaciates]

I don't know if my ego can suffer the blow.

[He's smirking though, so that's probably a joke??]
