on seeing the movie and changed keywords 8|

[howherolls]

I don't think that was the impression they were going for. [ a slight smile ] No, not even Flickerman.

Comments

[effective]

They all think they're funny.

[luxecareer]

And what impression were they going for, then, loverboy?

[onabirdswing]

Yipes. No wonder my mun says puns are the lowest form of comedy...

[65]

Can't go wrong with an impression like that. [yeah he's kind of making fun of you peeta. sry.]

[howherolls]

[ he shrugs ] Maybe they need it more than we do.

[howherolls]

[ his eyes widen at seeing her, when he talks it's mumbled ]

Something more suited for the situation, I'd guess.

[howherolls]

[ Rue ;3; have the saddest smile ever]

Your mun sounds like a more intelligent person than mine. I guess that's not surprising.

[howherolls]

I think the verdict's still waiting.

[ he gives a ghost of a smile ]

But I guess in this line of work, someone needs to make dough.

[luxecareer]

They suit you, so what's the point if they suit the situation or not?

[howherolls]

Probably that I also don't suit the situation.

[ he looks at her ]

Are you from...after?

[luxecareer]

I know what ends up happening, if that's what you mean.

[fletching]

I don't think they care.

[howherolls]

I'm sorry. [ at the time he wasn't, but now, here, things are a little different ]

[howherolls]

On some level, I think.

[luxecareer]

[She can't help but mimic him mockingly. Really. How weak. She crosses her arms and shrugs her shoulders.]

It's a game, loverboy. We all know what happens in the end.

[howherolls]

[ he looks at her ]

I know. I wouldn't change things. I wanted to live, and if I couldn't, I wanted Katniss to. But that doesn't excuse things. For any of us.

[effective]

[This face. Why would stupid assholes need more humour than them?]

[luxecareer]

Oh my God, you're making me sick. You played the Game. That's how it goes.

[She doesn't understand you, Peeta. Really.]

You played it pretty well, gotta admit.

[That? That was the closest thing to a compliment you'll ever hear from her. And she'll deny it if you bring it up ever again.]

[howherolls]

They're not used to dealing without it.

[howherolls]

I don't think I should be saying thank you.

[ he shakes his head ]

We end up going back in anyways.

[effective]

They'll live, Peeta.

[howherolls]

I know. But they're just as trapped by the Capitol as we are in some cases.

[effective]

No, they will live while we keep dying. I don't care how 'trapped' they are.

[luxecareer]

So I've heard. That's pretty crap luck right there, really.

[fletching]

It's a game to them, Peeta.

[By which she means mun-types.]

[howherolls]

At least we don't cheer at death. They haven't taken that from us yet.

[howherolls]

It's becoming a specialty. Peeta, the victor with pretty crap luck.

[howherolls]

Not the kind we're used to.

We can work with them, at least.

[65]

The puns just keep rolling in, don't they?

[effective]

[Her expression twists for a moment] Depends on who's dying.

[fletching]

[She doesn't say it, but she doesn't think it matters. Then again, she's probably been manipulated one too many times.]

I thought you didn't want to be owned.

[howherolls]

[ JUDGEMENT FROWN ]

We both know you don't mean that.

[howherolls]

They might be getting a little caked on by this point.

[howherolls]

[ he looks down ]

This isn't the same as their Games.

[ the intensity in his tone drops and he smiles, looking up ]

It could be worse. At least now we don't have to watch our manners- that should be a positive mark for you.

[effective]

[Her fists clench and she looks away] Maybe.

[fletching]

Are you saying I don't have any manners?

[Might be kind of hard to tell that she's sort of kidding, given that she doesn't really. Smile. But she is.]
