you'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
[ 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. ]

[There's a great deal more to the story, but this is a step in the right direction, at least. She pauses, swallowing to clear her throat.]
... I'm handling it all right now, but I have a feeling I won't be sleeping easy tonight.
no subject
I understand, really. Brady... was helping me with it, or trying to, so I can at least handle small cuts now. Things like Fern... are still beyond me, at the moment.
[Things like Brady's body, too.]
When I was a child, there was much war and bloodshed. I was unable to do anything but stand by at the time, so much of my unease comes from that powerlessness -- the fainting as well, since it was better to play dead than to risk being caught alive. An unfortunate side-effect.
no subject
Really? I wouldn't have guessed that, but it makes sense. I admit, I had wondered why someone your age hadn't grown desensitized to these things -- but once your body is trained to do something, it's not something you can simply turn off, is it?
no subject
Unfortunately not. I wish I could be more helpful, but as it is... Well, you know how it is.
[They'd definitely have two bodies to worry about, all of a sudden.]
I avoid blood as much as I can, and the instances I'm faced with it just aren't enough to cure me. Perhaps I'll get over it here.
no subject
[Maybe that's why she's been putting in more effort in the trials after the first.]
Perhaps... now that Brady's gone, we could try to help each other move past it?
no subject
I'd like that very much, Jean. Maybe we'll be able to conquer it by the end.
