i'll be dreaming of the day we meet again

[ 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. ]

That's not on you. [Motherly hand squeezing is go.] And you know that.
flagitate: (♪ buttercup.)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ She squeezes her hand back, though a little weakly. ]

... I should've-- I don't know. It's just weird. Without her here.
greenmamabear: (Attempting to follow along here.)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I know. She was...

I don't know, essential? That's not... the right word but.... [She hopes she's getting her meaning across.]
flagitate: (stalls)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
I think I get what you mean.

[ She'd been there when Katniss had her bad dream. When she'd really needed someone to talk to. ]

... This places feels really empty, huh.
greenmamabear: (Feeling down)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [Its weird.] Its almost hard to believe there used to be thirty of us.
flagitate: (♪ deep in the meadow.)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

That was a long time ago, wasn't it.

[ Almost two months...? Geez. ]
greenmamabear: (Getting my nerves up)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[God. Two months of death.]

...At least the food's been decent.

[JOKES HELP WITH TRAUMA RIGHT]
flagitate: (quiver)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
I've never been better fed.
greenmamabear: (Nerves be building and building)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
And, during the weekdays, we all got each other.

[Bright side...]
flagitate: (♪ plutarch's letter.)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Let's just hope our number either stays the same or somehow miraculously increases.

[ ... except for some people

walter

fuck you walter ]
greenmamabear: (Fern no)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Fingers crossed.

[Walter can eat shit.]

...Mind if I say something sappy and awkward?
flagitate: (♪ there are worse games to play.)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Uh. ]

Sure, go ahead.
greenmamabear: (You are experiencing a day)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She is so sorry for the emotions that are about to happen.]

I, uh, wrote it. In a letter too, in case something happens but.

I mean, its just.

[She drags a hand down her face. God this is hard.]

Maybe its just because I'm such a mom...
flagitate: (bullseye)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-21 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing's gonna happen to you.

[ NOPE. ]

What? You can tell me, seriously.
greenmamabear: (Feeling down)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-21 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Alright. Okay.

[She's cool its fine.]

I just want you to know. If I were to have a daughter. I'd want her to be you.

Sometimes I already think of you like one.

[SO YOU KNOW. THROWING THAT OUT THERE.]
flagitate: (stalls)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... oh. Ohh, Fern, her eyes are a little wet now. Katniss swipes at her eyes, and she doesn't look at Fern. ]

I-- thanks. [ Her voice is a little hoarse, weak, and she finally looks at Fern with the most shaky of smiles. ]

Thank you.
greenmamabear: (Heartwarming moment)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-22 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[On one hand, she's relieved that Katniss isn't weirded out. But on the other, now she's crying a little and it's just. Katniss is her little (mature) girl and she's done so well.

She's gonna squeeze that hand again comfortingly as she tries to dry her own eyes.
]

It's- I'm just- I'm so proud of you. All the time. I-I really am.
flagitate: (♪ primrose.)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-23 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ She squeezes her hand back, and she manages to at least compose herself. ]

I-- I hope I won't. Disappoint you.

[ You're gonna make her cry again, Fern!! ]
greenmamabear: (Flashback happy Fern)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-23 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Honey...

[Guess who's getting a hug, Katniss is getting a hug.]

You never could.
flagitate: (plate)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-23 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Greenmom, please... But she's returning the hug. ]

I'm not used to so many people believing in me.
greenmamabear: (Flashback happy Fern)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-24 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She is being the biggest greenmom, brushing her hair and everything.]

You've proven yourself worth it, time and time again.
flagitate: (♪ the hanging tree.)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-24 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh, it's been so long since she had this... Mom had her own stuff going on, and Katniss didn't feel right asking for comfort, when she'd been holding her own for so long... ]

I'm-- uh. Starting to believe that, actually. Kind of.
greenmamabear: (Happy days are here again)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-25 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You'll get there. Self-confidence is hard.

[Understatement of the universe.]
flagitate: (bodkin)

[personal profile] flagitate 2016-08-26 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
More like almost impossible.
greenmamabear: (Heartwarming moment)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2016-08-26 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright. It's easier when you're around people you trust.
