Valentines

[windandrain]

Why not? You're a good man. And remember, I didn't have a family until I came here. So of course I want my boyfriend to meet them.

[She reaches out for him with a free hand, and a hard knife of air just starts chopping on autopilot.]

Beef? Alright.

[Cookpan started!]

Now to wait for it to heat...what should we do?

[stillplaying]

[She pulls out one of her arrows and inspects the point before pulling out the other. She turns her head to glance at him at the sound of a slow breath.

A yearly thing. She's been here nearly a year now. Does that mean everything she's been subjected to before will happen again? The drafts, the hijackings? Would she be forced to think that she grew up here again? She hopes not. She really, really hopes not.]

Tired of it. [She finally says, slipping the arrows in her quiver.] But I haven't been affected.

[complicatedliar]

You make it sound as if being in a library is a hardship.

[Jack wonders if Isaac is undisguised, this time. He wonders how much of it is real - the appearance, yes, but the movement as well, the easy saunter and the cat's-paw steady landingon the ground below. Because he loves every bit of it, the easy way he moves, the quickness, the contained strength. He wants this to be the Isaac that exists behind Malnosso tricks and mirages. He wants this to be the one he follows into the unknown.

The portal earns a moment of stillness and surprise, and Jack approaches one step at a time, hand extended half in front of himself all the way. But he follows, through the portal and after Isaac, electricity dancing down his spine.]

11th

[complicatedliar]

In a way, yes. I use runes rather extensively, since they're quite flexible.

[He tilts his head.] Though for the most part, were I to write something for you that did not have a specific arcane use, you'd perceive it as written in your native language. It's a funny little trick.

[stillplaying]

[She blinks, both confused and surprised. Three years? Some left? She's not certain that she understands at all. Because what she's imagining now is, in some ways, a place worse than Panem. A place where there is no music.]

Why?

[stillplaying]

[She couldn't imagine that. Couldn't imagine waking up one morning and breaking up with Peeta. Peeta breaking up with her. And somehow doing so without the world ending.

It's really just another reminder as to why Peeta's better off not being here. Because as much as she doesn't want to love him anymore - doesn't want to love anyone - she'd hate that being forced on her. Hate another hijacking tearing him away from her.

Quietly,]

I'm sorry.

[stillplaying]

She shakes her head, too. This is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Does he hear himself at all? Hear any of the words that are coming out of his mouth?

Katniss reaches for the helmet. "I am not."

12th or something

[inkdrops]

[Just think of it like this - an ant can lift around 300 times its own size and weight, poncles are almost the same. Hell, Issun was able to pick up and lift a large, bamboo panflute once. Though as a male, he is physically stronger than Miyabi is.]

Eh? Strong? It's not all that solid, so it's not heavy. I can pick up things bigger than me if they're hollow or lightweight, but solid things are harder. [And, again, Miyabi's glow turns from pink tinted gold to full of pink. Ah, gods...]

I-It's for Valentines Day! It's a little early, but I thought to give them out today before I forget or get too busy.

[abjurer]

Not at all. I just kinda wish I had my own collection at my disposal. Catch up on the things I've been meaning to do for months.

[charitylovehopefaith]

Of course not. [She can't quite get used to all of the packaged things available to them. They don't taste quite the same as she's used to, but that's the way of things, she supposes.]

It sounds delightful.

[greenjacketed]

If we're lucky, it'll taste delightful too.

[ a pause. although he's already asked about her wellbeing, he opts to probe deeper: ] Miss. You're makin' acquaintances, eh? In these parts?

[ a pretty young thing such as herself shouldn't go lonely. ]

[markofthewise]

Sokka paid no mind to the element. He could see that Katniss needed reassuring. He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Yes, you are. Have a little faith in yourself."

[aerialassault]

I've dealt with some messy stuff, but I'll understand if you don't wanna talk about it.

[charitylovehopefaith]

I'm sure it will.

[At his question, she tries not to frown too deeply. Her shoulders rise then fall.]

I'm... trying, certainly. It's very strange here.

[250mhzwabl]

[Jack is just sure now that Loki's teasing him. The alternative - that he has gone completely mad, along with Eugene - is far less probable. Never mind far less appealing.

Besides, he finds a sense of humour to be attractive.]

Oh, that! Right. Just as well the madness-of-the-week hasn't gotten to you, then. [He looks heavenward, breath escaping in a little cloud as he huffs in smirking frustration.] Can't even steal a car with this one.

[rather_be_surfing]

Nah, I'm okay with it. Good information to know in case one of them gets dragged here.

...Have to stake them in the heart and behead them first. Then you put them in the sunlight.

[aerialassault]

Don't worry 'bout that. We can make one if we can't find one.

[etherealblast]

It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to make, either.

[They'd need to build the table, but really all it needed was a coat of paint, a net and some paddles. Balls too, of course.]

[bionically]

[He purses his lips, nodding. If that’s what gives her her jollies, all the power to her.]

…Cute. [Well it IS.] Wouldn’t mind if a delivery girl like you swung by my place to deliver packages.

[greenjacketed]

[ ...yes, he rather supposes (in a twisted kind of way) that it was likely easier for him to make friends in luceti than it was for her. as reticent as he could be, he was accustomed to how fluid social customs sometimes had to be. and he could connect quickly with nearly every other soldier in this place -- and there were a lot of those.

but ah, poor miss faith. a lady of quality in a land that might as well be an revolutionary's ideal france, for all it dripped in fraternity and equality. as such, he found he pitied the young woman. the gutterborn could shine in a place like this, while the gentle stumbled. ]

They take some getting used to. But many are worth it. Though -- there are some I fear I'll never understand.

[250mhzwabl]

Oh, you know, this and that. Groceries.

[Jack honestly cannot be arsed to remember what he is supposed to be doing. Because he's done with training for the way, and he is here and so is Clint and concerns are a thing for other people.]

Head out for a drink tonight, maybe.

[aerialassault]

[Perhaps it was fortunate that Cliff knew nothing of vampires...]

That doesn't sound too hard. Is your place infested with them, and that's why they need you to fix it?

[aerialassault]

Nope.

[The hardest part would be the balls, but they might be able to find some if they were dedicated enough.]

Ya know? That sounds a little more interesting than cooking. I've gotta hunch that they might not like my cake anywway, and these stoves here are tricky.

The 13th - ROCKING THIS PARTY

[inkdrops]

[With a questioning hum, Miyabi turns around on her luxurious mount, her glow brightening considerably when she spies Teddy there. Tapping the fox's head lightly with her foot, she mutters into its large ear and it turns around, bristling slightly at the sheer size and bulk of the blonde human.]

Eh, eh, ssh...it's fine, it's fine. He won't hurt you! He's big, but he's really not so scary. It's okay now, don't be scared. Don't you want to show off your pretty new collar to him?
