Right. Because people are going to be leaving messages in my head now.

Try it.

Garrus.

Do you know what happens if you kill someone in the city?

voice

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Way I hear it is they retrieve the body and clone it, so the person is... [There's a beat.] I don't know. Alive. I don't know if it works right, or even how it works. And that's what happens to them.

What happens to you... If there's anyway to make it look like it was sex-related, you might skip punishment. Otherwise, they're gonna haul you in.

General you, of course.

[Because they'd totally never kill someone in the city.]

( so clove's either going to get bored with the futility of trying to kill her, or she'll take the chance to do it over and over again.

either way, one of them is probably going to end up in re-ed. )

Right. General you.

( murderous tendencies? these two? no way. )

General's the easiest to talk in. How's the learning going?

[Need someone over there with a gun, basically.]

I met an old...friend. Ariel was nice enough to bring them back.

voice

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Always got the impression that you were more of a loner. Friend must have been... special.

[He'd heard that pause.]

Wouldn't be bad for me to meet them. Friends of friends and all that.

voice

[74]

You wouldn't have a lot in common. You're not crazy, for one thing.

voice

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Some people my disagree. My father, for one.

[So definitely not a friend, then.]

Wanna drop by? We can talk.

voice

[74]

About this?

( there's a really long pause. she's considering it. )

Sure.

( because while katniss is entirely sure she could probably gut clove if she needed to, it's always probably better not to be alone. )

voice

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I'm here. Come on over.

[He's glad that she's coming. Katniss isn't the most open person and she could totally have decided to go this alone. It means something that she's letting him in a little.]

Got a beer preference?

voice; are we actioning this? or handwaving? i am good with whatever!

[74]

I'm not sure. I've never had it before.

( but she's shuffling, tying up the laces on her boots and shutting the door behind her. )

voice; I'm good either way too. Does she need this?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Then I'll grab one of the lighter ones. Less, uh. Grainy. Whatever the earth grains are called. We've got a few in the fridge.

They make conversation easier, sometimes.
