[effietrinket]

Well, now. It’s lovely to meet you, young lady. Of course, you must know who I am.

I do hope you’ll get on those applications! Wouldn’t want me just floating around in your head, would you?

…Oh, I see. You’re just trying me out for fun. Well, no matter. You’ve got things to do. 

We’ve got a big, big, big day ahead of us!

And big big big hair to match. [She smiles. Just poking fun.]

New to the block, too?

[effietrinket]

Well, darling, it's go big or go home in the fashion world.

Yes, quite new! Effie Trinket. It's a pleasure.

[undeadgirlwalking]

So they say.

[She offers her hand.] Ana Adams. Pleased to meet you.

[effietrinket]

[She gently removes her glove and shakes the other woman's hand lightly.]

Does your mundane have somewhere planned for you? It seems rather rude to just play me on here with no hope of ever being somewhere permanently.

[undeadgirlwalking]

[Ana beams and shakes firmly in return.]

One in mind... two maybe. First one's kind of grim.

[effietrinket]

[She takes her hand back and works at putting her glove back on.]

Grim in what way?

[accidentalrebellion]

[Aaand she'd only just gotten the ringing out of her ears, honestly. Thanks a lot. That is the stuff of nightmares.]

Is there one that isn't? [she's glad to see you shhh]

[effietrinket]

[A little indignant huff.] Manners.

I'm just attempting to bring a little order around here. Goodness knows this place needs it.

[Yes, her voice is snippy. Apologize, Katniss. X(]

[accidentalrebellion]

[Why. She's just making observations B|]

What's the point?

[effietrinket]

The point is that things work much more smoothly if you have a plan and a schedule. Makes everything so much more pleasant, don't you think?

[accidentalrebellion]

Not really.

[... did you... momentarily forget who you're talking to...]

[effietrinket]

Really, dear, you should try and be less difficult. I've done the very best I could to help you. Without me, would you have been on time at all? No, I don't believe so. And I helped you with your manners, you know.

[Because being polite and on time matters when you're in a fight to the death.]

[accidentalrebellion]

[Muttering--]

Some help.

[(But, deep down, somewhere Katniss doesn't really feel like acknowledging at the present moment, she knows that Effie has been an indispensable help. And she does appreciate her in her own way.)]
