[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

Yesh, that's bad...hopefully she's okay. ^^;

I'll probably move them to before it begins then..I don't think the chariot ride is very eventful though. Polyvore seems to only have female things from what I saw, so I'll probably just stick to google. I know they were doing the sort of black/grey with a fire effect once they're moving. I'll put Gale in this and Katniss in this since it closely resembles what she wore in the film. I know Peeta will insist to not play up Prim's cuteness and that she and Katniss should look deadly and serious since she can't be seen as an easy target and all.

No, I haven't been there in ages...It's called House of Eros or something.

[mmidnight]

She's fine. I actually just found out that she's going to sue our other friend that she was in the car with even though they hit black ice. So, I'm pretty angry with her right now.

I just think it's going to be a big post if you've got Katniss and Gale getting ready, and probably conversations with Cinna as well, then introducing either Finnick or Johanna or both, and then going through the parade and breezing through Snow's speech, plus observations of the other tributes and inner thoughts along the way. Like, that's a lot to just skip over, imo. Polyvore has male things, you just have type in like, "male shirt" or "male vest". I got a few outfits for Haymitch out of it. For the parade or the interview? Her and Peeta were in this. I think you're right about Peeta's advice on Prim, though. They wouldn't want to make she or Katniss easy targets.

Ah, haha. That's the only smutty RP website I know of.

[Genkai]

Wow really? I didn't think you could sue over the ice in the road...doesn't make much sense to me.

I was watching the ceremony and they had some pretty fly outfits, not the sort of leather you linked to. That may have been more of the first hunger games ceremony I think. And i linked the outfits they'd be wearing right now, the Ball would be a nit more dressy and less...er..bling I would say. And I wanted to put Gale in navy blue and Katniss in more black/silver, rather than say grey but that's all stuff we probably don't need to worry about just yet. Hopefully I left it off where you can roll with Finnick and the proceedings however you'd like. If you want to include Snow saying his speech go for it. I'm not really saying we NEED to skip it but I didn't think it was needed, just do what you wanna do. Again, I'm not picky. Sorry if I meant to sound like I am skipping too much...I didn't think I was. I just though the interactions before and after were more important than them riding along.

Michigan is a no fault state, but she's suing for "pain and suffering" which is fucking bullshit. Our friend was doing her a favor, and she was barely even hurt in the accident. Like, she literally has whiplash. I'm so mad at her, honestly. What kind of person does that to a friend? And you're right, it doesn't make sense.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had posted before I replied here. I was on the phone with the friend getting sued. The first ceremony was the dress that lit up and the second was those leather outfits where Peeta and Katniss weren't supposed to wave to the crowd. I'll definitely post the ball outfits and stuff here before I link in whatever post they come up in. Where you left off is fine. I didn't mean to insist that you were skipping too much or anything.

[Genkai]

That's really crappy. Some people do like to take advantage of a bad situation by making it worse than it is. That's an unnecessary mess.

Alright though I wanna make sure you're ok/happy with how things are going. ^^;

[mmidnight]

It is. She's a mess, honestly. We've been friends for almost ten years, but this shows me what kind of person she is and I'm not here for that, tbh.

I'm happy, haha. This is pretty much my favorite RP, so ofc I'm happy with it.

[Genkai]

I hope things work out for you guys but that may not be likely from the sounds of it.

Okay awesome, just wanted to double check we're good.

[mmidnight]

It probably won't. It's kind of been a long time coming, and all of this is basically over a guy. Like I said, it's messy.

We're good c: No worries. I think I'm going to reply tonight because this is all I have inspiration for right now, tbh. It's all those Mockingjay commercials, haha. Are Prim and Katniss dressed the same? Same question for Haymitch and Gale.

[Genkai]

Awesome. And if you want them to be the same, that works it could show unity. Unf hot guys and hot girls. District 12 is killing it. You should post. Then I can reply later tonight since I'm staying up to get a video game, bless my father's heart. *goes to lurk offline for a bit like a shark*

[mmidnight]

Sounds good. I'll do what I can, but if I don't get it done then enjoy your game!

[Genkai]

It's bringing back so many memories. At any rate, I should be around this afternoon and evening, hopefully you slept well. As it turns out, my dad wouldn't mind seeing Mockingjay with me so I may see it sooner than I thought. Heh.

[mmidnight]

Let me know how it is if you go c:

And did we talk about who would play Johanna and Finnick or are we going to treat them like Peeta? I'm sorry if we did, but I can't remember, so I didn't want to write much for Finnick. I hope I left off in an okay spot, I figured we could do the elevator thing if you wanted, haha.

[Genkai]

I will, I don't expect much since I did read the books. Though it is nice and ironic how at the end of THG Peeta says he doesn't want to forget while Katniss does and in the end, he ends up "losing his memory" soap opera style. XD Poor Peeta...

Nah I thought we would share those roles, depending on what's going on. I know in the future during the games, we'll need to share them when they meet up with Gale/Prim and Haymitch/Katniss. I think the same goes for Beetee and Wiress. I'll take a look at your post and see what I can do. I just got done making dinner, damn onions nearly made me go blind. >.<'

[mmidnight]

Haha, we should start keeping a running tally of how often we say "poor Peeta"

Sounds good then. I didn't know if you wanted to choose a character since they're going to be more important in a little while. And I always end up writing so much for this RP D: It started to get too long and I was like, well shit >__> so I ended it after the parade. Oh no, onions. I know your pain ;n; Sometimes it helps when I wear my glasses while I'm chopping them.

[Genkai]

We should just take a shot every time that happens.

Yeah they'll be important and more common down the line but I still think sharing them would be the best bet in case one of us needs to interact with the other's character or our own. If it's important dialogue, we'll probably trim our posts down so we can have an exchange with one another (me and you, I mean) but if it's puppeting a few hours in the arena along, we may not need to wait for a reply if someone is Finnick or Johanna ya know? I think you ended it fine. No worries, I'll get something up tonight. And onions always burn, I've tried every 'hack' you can find on google...which is cruel because I don't even like onions and don't think I should cut them if they're nasty and burn my eyes for hours and hours. :(

[mmidnight]

We might get alcohol poisoning, tbh. Or better yet, take a shot every time I end a sentence with "tbh" haha.

That makes sense and I think that will work out fine c: I'm looking forward to the post because I got everything done this afternoon and I've been so bored but I don't want to take on more RPs because I know it will be too much. But that's lame D; I don't have a hack for it, sometimes they burn, sometimes they don't and I have no clue why that happens.

[Genkai]

We need to start telling Peeta to suck it up then. :|

Awesome. And no, don't take on anymore! XD The holidays are coming up, you'll be busy enough without me having to share lol

I hope the soup turns out nice, I'd be happier if I had any other onion besides yellow but what can ya do. Some people aren't affected by onions which I envy. Oh and soon our babies will get to have ice cream and pizza and have fabulous fooooood. I think we wanna have our pairs interact a bit tonight right? I don't see us skipping to the next day for another say...4-5 posts...? What do you think?

[mmidnight]

but he's just a lil baby D;

Haha, oh god, I know. I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving.

What kind of soup? c: I love to cook. But sure, that sounds like a good plan. Haymitch is pretty close to realizing his feelings, so maybe that can come up during these next few posts.

[Genkai]

I think after this, Peeta will feel like he's 80 years old.

It's butternut squash, should be nice and warming. Haymitch has a heart, d'awh...who would have guessed? I feel like Katniss would confront Gale about his feelings after the gushy interview, which would probably make him realize his feelings for Prim, though let's be honest, he's already in love.

[mmidnight]

Poor Peeta *shot*

Ooh, that sounds good c: Let me know how it turns out. He does, he just doesn't like to show it. Probably why he and Katniss get along so well most of the time. Aw, Gale :3 Prim is already in love with him. She can't help it.
