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. ]

You did admirably well in today's trial, Katniss-san.

[Seriously, you spearheaded the accusation against Walty like a champ]

[flagitate]

Thanks, Naoto.

[ She says it a little awkwardly, but hey! She's not completely dismissing the compliment. ]

I'm not a detective, but apparently I'm angry enough to get people to snap.

[fortunatedetective]

Part of being a detective is to know how to confront a suspect. It's obvious you have the necessary skills to do that.

[It was way more forcefully than Naoto would have ever done, but it was effective]

[flagitate]

[ skills.... ]

I guess. But I'll leave the actual detecting to you and Kyouko. I'll just yell at people or something.

[fortunatedetective]

Don't you think you may be downplaying your strengths a bit?

[Because it isn't like you're only good for shouting, Katniss]

[flagitate]

Not really.

[ At least she's coming out and saying it. ]

I don't have any other strengths except for getting mad and shooting arrows.

[fortunatedetective]

...

[Sigh]

If you truly believe that then the least you should do is use those strengths the best you can, I guess.

[Naoto believes in you, Katniss]

[flagitate]

[ ... ]

What's that sigh for?

[fortunatedetective]

I feel you're more capable than you yourself realize. Maybe you don't realize it now, but someday you will.

[In other words, she's sighing because you're restraining yourself by not believing on your strengths, that's what she thinks]

[flagitate]

... I guess I'm pretty good at learning stuff on the fly.

[ She's trying! ]

[fortunatedetective]

That's a good first step.

[flagitate]

If you say so.

[ ... Anyway. ]

Had anything to eat yet?

[fortunatedetective]

Not yet. I don't have much of an appetite after...Mitchell-san's murder.

[Someone getting poisoned makes that happen]

[flagitate]

... Yeah. I think sandwiches are ruined for me forever.
