28th Throw - [ written ]

[shenevermisses]

Looks like we're a pretty big drain on this community.

[She's wary as she writes it. Most of the people who'll see this, she hopes, are from the same Luceti she is. But there's no guarantee.]

So I'm organizing a hunting party.

Anyone who doesn't know how to hunt and wants to learn? Meet me at six in the morning by the stable.

Those of us who do know how to hunt will pair you up with a buddy. We'll leave at six-thirty sharp.

Hunting'll be Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Fishing'll be Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

[If there's one thing she learned in Luceti -- learned from Katniss -- it's how important these skills are.]

If we're going to strain these folks' resources? Least we can do is try to help.

Aw man! Come on! Um... Ooh! What if we do one of those bartering systems, yeah? I'll trade my fish for some jerky. Everybody wins!

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

If you can find someone who hunts and doesn't fish, sounds like you might be golden.

[She might just be giving him a hard time. Because it's fun.]

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

I... I'm sure there's someone like that! They'll probably be my exact opposite!

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

I'm sure you can convince someone.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

With my charming personality? Yeah, now I've got it!

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Yeah, sure. [She can't help but chuckle just a bit.] Why not?

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Exactly! Why not? The fuzzy man's got charm to spare!

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

...Fuzzy?

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Yeah! Um... it's a long story.

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Is it an interesting one?

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

It depends! But... Maybe it's best to save it for another day! [He's still always reluctant to show off his true form.]

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

...Okay. Whatever. [Not something she's going to worry too much, even if she's curious.] Six AM, every other day.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Does it have to be that early? [Isn't he the easiest person to work with]

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Yes, it does.

[Sorry, Kurt. She knows no mercy.]

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Aw, c'mon! How am I supposed to be awake that early?

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

By knowing you need to be and making yourself do it.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

But... that's not... I like to sleep!

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Then go to sleep earlier.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

But going to sleep early is whack!

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Then deal with not getting much sleep.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Man, Clove... You really drive a hard bargain.

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Because I don't bargain. It's a take-it-or-leave-it thing.

So, I get what I want.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

[He gives a beleaguered sigh.] I miss when we were just hitting up crazy parties...

Fine! I'll give it a try. [Maybe if he gets up early once, it'll be easier to make a case in person for having it later in the future.]

[Voice]

[shenevermisses]

Afraid I'm not usually a party person, actually.

I'll see you in the morning, then.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Right... Seeya then! [He groans.]
