i'll be dreaming of the day we meet again

[innocentloveholic]

[ After she gets Fern patched up, Aligula starts on what might be her Best Party Ever.

...until her next one, anyway. It's no surprise where she's hosting today: it's the dormitory area. Throughout the hours of setting it up, it gets more and more colorful—the doors of the dead (both newly deceased and old) get childish paper cut-out flowers (think the daisy looking ones), while the living get stars. They're all in different colors, with no real discernible pattern! Long strands of ribbon decorate the walls along with more colorful party hat-looking cut-outs, in and out of the little cul-de-sac areas. In the center of the area are blankets laid out with plates of pancakes and trays of tea, stacked on tables made out of books. (There are also parfaits in wine glasses, because of course there are.)

More importantly, there are pillows across the floor of the entire hallway and especially stacked around the center, and in every little room area there's a nice note posted to one of the walls, in Aligula's ever familiar curly handwriting:



Apparently, today's after-party is the slumber party type to even help people who might not want to wander the hallways tonight. ...and look, Luca, she even took your advice. ]

[ Kyouko makes her way over to Katniss while she's leaning against some pillows. ]

...What are you reading? [ That pink cover is a little unexpected for her. ]

[flagitate]

[ There's a hint of a smile--a bittersweet one, but a smile nonetheless--on Katniss's lips. ]

Romance novel. It's stupid, but Angel and I used to read them out loud to each other and make fun of them.

[ ... You know. Normal friend stuff. ]

[fittedgloves]

[ Kyouko gives her a small smile in return before moving to sit down next to her. ]

It's not. It sounds like fun, actually.

[flagitate]

It was a lot of fun.

[ She looks at the book for a while, just... mostly trying to gather her thoughts. ]

I still want to read some mystery books, though.

[fittedgloves]

I have plenty I could recommend. What kind of mysteries do you like?

[flagitate]

The kind where people don't die?

[fittedgloves]

[ That actually gives her pause for a second. ]

...There aren't many like that. However, I could look for one for you.

[flagitate]

Yeah. That'd be great. Thanks, Kyouko.

[ ... ]

How are you doing, anyway?

[ You were almost a victim, girl. ]

[fittedgloves]

It's no trouble. I could probably benefit from reading a novel like that myself.

[ And she pauses again. ]

...I'm not really sure, if I'm being perfectly honest.

[flagitate]

If you-- wanna talk about it. Anything. I'm here.

[fittedgloves]

...Thank you, Katniss. I truly appreciate it.

I would take you up on your offer, if I knew where to even begin myself.

[flagitate]

[ She nods. ]

Well. Offer still stands, even if it's days from now.

[fittedgloves]

Thank you. Really.

When I get... everything sorted out, I might come see you.

[flagitate]

Yeah. No problem.

If anything, we can just punch our problems away. On that game, I mean.

[fittedgloves]

I wouldn't be opposed to that. If we happen to get bored of that game, we also have plenty of others to choose from as well.

[flagitate]

Yeah. Like--those racing games, I guess? Haven't tried one.

[fittedgloves]

Neither have I. We should try one of those games soon, don't you agree?

[flagitate]

Yeah. Sounds like fun. Maybe some time next week.

[fittedgloves]

[ She nods. ]

It's a plan. I look forward to it.

[flagitate]

Me too. [ With a grin: ] I'll wipe the floor with you.

[fittedgloves]

Heh... is that so? I admire your confidence.
