Right. I agree. Interesting proposition letting Tributes visit the shop, try the Teas. They might even like it, yeah?

It's a little...let's go with 'risky.' Don't you think?

But I suppose it's your decision in the end. Everything is.

[setfires]

Are you trying to reason with her?

[friend_i_hope]

Just making my voice heard, for all the good it does.

[setfires]

I suppose you ought to try while you can. Once you're set up there's plenty of people who won't care to hear your opinion.

[friend_i_hope]

There's always plenty of people who don't care. The trick is finding the one who does.

...

That was terribly optimistic of me, wasn't it? Sorry.

[setfires]

Yes. I'll try not to hold it against you.

[friend_i_hope]

My relief is palpable.

Or something. That sounds painful, actually.

[setfires]

And I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

[friend_i_hope]

Because you, sir, are a good man. Most of the time.

[setfires]

At least a small portion of the time.

[oystersensei]

Reverse psychology doesn't work. Trust me.

[friend_i_hope]

I'm noticing that. Always worth a try, though.

[oystersensei]

Has it ever worked?

[friend_i_hope]

I live in hope? Not sure why, though.

[oystersensei]

Some might call that being delusional.

[She wrinkles her nose]

How do you do it?

[friend_i_hope]

Not the first time that's been tossed in my direction.

Do what?

[oystersensei]

Stay hopeful. You've got to admit there isn't much to be happy about around here.

[friend_i_hope]

There are all kinds of things to be happy about around here. I should know. I sell some of them.

[newwonder]

Your mundane is sending you there?

[friend_i_hope]

I'm already there, apparently.

[newwonder]

Oh... I don't like how that sounds.

[friend_i_hope]

Not sure I do either, but there's not a whole lot I can do about it.

[newwonder]

Am I there, Hatter? I mean... not me but an Alice?

[friend_i_hope]

No. Not yet, anyway.

[newwonder]

Not yet. But... maybe some day? [she's not sure how she feels about going into a death arena, but it can't really be much worse than the Casino]

[friend_i_hope]

That's the way these things usually work, isn't it?
