Blacker Than Black

[trinkett]

Who: Effie Trinket and anyone who wishes to join in the melee. I mean festivities.
What: Black Friday
When: Begins Midnight, Friday, November 29th.
Where: In town with all the shops. And the bakery.
Summary: You know the deal. Shopping. Violence. Bickering over consumer goods.
Rating: PG-13?

Effie never went to bed on Thursday night. She knew, by now, that Jack Horner was gone. Vanished. Not in Luceti anymore. At least, that was what she gathered after extensive questioning and the realization that all of his things were gone. Effie found herself alone in an apartment that did not feel anything like home. Maybe she would move out. Maybe she had to move on, now.

She kept busy on Thursday drinking wine. Lots of wine.

At midnight, she stumbled to the fountain in the center of town, semi-sober and dressed in typical Capitalista fashion. There were supposed to be bodyguards here. And fellow participants, to be sure. Hopefully no one will cause TOO much trouble.


(((PLEASE feel free to mingle, threadhop, dance the springle-ring, jingle some bling, anything. It's wide open.))))

Bulla had a fast metabolism that had only gotten worse since she started training semi-regularly. The plus side of that was that she didn't have to watch what she ate, generally.

"Oh? What does it look like? Is it really versatile?"

[trinkett]

"Hold on -- "

Effie pulled it out -- a GUN belt, no less! Meant to hold, of all things, a pistol. But it was empty. Studded black leather, good quality grain, comfortable-looking, but empty of a weapon.

"This."

[fashionably_strong]

"It's definitely made of good quality leather... Are you planning on getting a gun in the near future?"

She supposed the right kind of knife could also sit relatively comfortably in there, too, but she did have to wonder.

[trinkett]

"I already HAVE a gun. Or...I borrowed one," she admitted, strapping the holster around her waist. It was a bit too large. "But...it got a bit broken."

[fashionably_strong]

"I could talk to Trunks and see if he'd mind repairing it for you. As long as you have all the parts, I'm sure he'd be able to without any problem."

Although Bulla was comfortable with technology, her mother and brother's knowledge of the subject made her seem like a veritable luddite by comparison.

[trinkett]

"That's a VERY kind offer, but....Wait. Trunks?"

[fashionably_strong]

"Trunks is my older brother. He's fantastic at working with technology."

She thought she'd told Effie his name, but maybe she only mentioned that he was smart and a good martial artist.

"OH yes! I have met him, you know!" Funny that he had a name that sounded exactly like a man's swimsuit. "He's awfully handsome!"

[fashionably_strong]

"Oh really? When did you meet him?"

Bulla was genuinely curious. Trunks hadn't mentioned anything to her, but he wasn't always sharing what was going on with his life with her.
