[OOC] Beyond a Fire's Embers

[Genkai]

At first I was gonna suggest they try to take headshots which would break up the fight with the peacekeepers but then I figured Katniss or Johanna would be cheap to try anything like that. I was just thinking she'd bring up what she said at lunch and how she had to have Haymitch defend her actions. I think that would prompt Katniss to say pretending to be with Peeta A) wasn't her idea and B) as Haymitch said, if she could have saved her other tribute, she would have done the same thing and C) she doesn't need Haymitch defending her cause he's totally not her boyfriend.

OR I figure Johanna would mention something about Peeta or her sister but if Haymitch is brought up, Katniss would get more protective and drop her B.S 'trying to be nice and ladylike' act. Which might push her to go over and see what Haymitch has been up to.

It still might be nice to have Johanna and Katniss' fight broken up (maybe because two other tributes are fighting and need to be stopped instead) so they have can unfinished business in the arena though with less real animosity and more 'it's fun to piss you off' kind of mutual mindset.

I think Gale could help spot Prim when she is lifting weights and it's possible all four of them could run together, maybe get a little competitive to see who can run the fastest or furthest on the simulation.

I do wanna get a post to tonight though, and I almost read that as 'I clearly don't like long posts' and then I had to stop and think...^^;

[mmidnight]

I think if we have Johanna say something about Haymitch that could prompt Katniss to take a headshot at her and then the fight could be broken up by the peacekeepers? I'm trying to get everything rolled into one idea and that way they could have unfinished business later on. I imagine Johanna might say something about Prim first, maybe like, lol u got ur sister here, u suck. And then something about how haymitch isn't always going to be around to defend her. Johanna's pretty mean, lbr. But the fact that Katniss actually sparred with her will let them walk away with some grudging mutual respect for each other. But lol, if she says haymitch isn't her boyfriend johanna will probably laugh at her and then laugh at haymitch for it too.

Gale could probably spot Prim with one hand, haha. I think a little running competition would be good for them.

Go ahead c: I got everything done and I'm going to be up for a little bit longer.

[Genkai]

Should Katniss end up giving Johanna a black eye? I feel like Katniss isn't that mean but if she was provoked, she might feel less bad about it. Then again, Johanna was asking for it, unless Haymitch also wanted Johanna to kinda push Katniss' buttons to see how far she'd go. I imagine they'd stick to punches and some kicks with them ending up on the floor with Katniss finally getting the upper hand before Johanna pushes her too far and makes Katniss give her a good hit.

And yeah, Gale could totes spot her with just his arm, ya know he's got bulging muscles and all that. And yeah, it would be fun to see them have some cute rivalry going.

How much longer you hanging around for? An hour or two or...? Until I post? XD

[mmidnight]

I think a black eye is pretty reasonable is Johanna is low enough to make comments about Prim and Haymitch. She might even throw in a few about Peeta and Gale just to really bother Katniss. I think Haymitch's intentions were to see how far both of them would go and if they were capable of working together. If they're going to kill each other then he won't want Johanna in the alliance. He might say something to Peeta about it like it matters, haha.

take yo shirt off, gale~ and aw, that would be cute <3 at least someone is having a good day.

Maybe a half hour, forty-five minutes? I took my pills just now.

[Genkai]

It might be in their best interest, alliance wise to appear as enemies or to at least get all the aggression out of the way, so the fight could still be viewed as a positive thing. I assume the Capital could heal her black eye pretty quick with their savvy medical stuff. If Katniss ruined Johanna's look for the Ball, there might be hell to pay. Would I assume after the fight breaks up it would be around time for the session to be over and for them to all go back to their rooms?

Gale and Finnick and practice posing in the spotlight without their shirts...for science. Yes that.

Oh, I probably won't get it up by then, but when you wake up, you'll probably have something.

[mmidnight]

That's true. I imagine any injuries sustained will easily be healed and I don't think Snow would want the tributes looking raggedy, so Johanna will be fine for the ball. Haymitch is going to be really proud of Katniss though, so that might ease their awkward turtle tension completely. And yes, you're right to assume that c:

I forgot how scientific this RP is :B *pushes up glasses*

That's okay c: then you'll be first priority tomorrow.

[Genkai]

Yeah, the Johanna thing would surely break the ice with Haymitch and Katniss, thanks Johanna! XD

Yes, yes *slips on lab coat* I noted that in my science book here...which has shirtless guy pictures...ahem.

So should I assume then it'll roughly be this:

My post, Katniss and Johanna start to spar / Gale and Prim lift some weights
Your Post; Katniss and Johanna still spar, people watch / Gale and Prim still lifting weights
My Post: Katniss and Johanna still spar / Gale and co do running now
Your Post: Johanna teasing Katniss still, she punches him / Gale and co. doing some stretching after running
My Post: Katniss is pulled off of her, goes over to Haymitch as everyone begins to leave for the late afternoon

I assume we'll have some overlap with some events but that's generally our plan until we get to the floor?

[mmidnight]

Johanna is happy to help! Kind of...Not really >__> but oh well.

The price of the text book was worth it this time I:

Yep, that looks good to me. And then Effie can lecture Katniss at dinner about not being ladylike and haymitch will undermine her by saying it was awesome, haha.

[Genkai]

Haymitch: I didn't think she'd actually punch you in the face lol
Johanna: Fuck you Haymitch.
Haymitch: Oh well you did kind of deserve it
Katniss: I better just go...heheh. Prim, don't punch people in the face unless they deserve it! Like Johanna...XP

College charging so much for these books. Worth it.

Yes, nice call back to the first book "nice shooting sweetheart" and of course Katniss will be pretty happy to get praise from Haymitch. And then that leave Gale/Katniss to go to the hot tub and Prim and Haymitch to talk it out. I assume after, we could have everyone sort of gather as they did last night, everyone is gonna be so lonesome sleeping by themselves! :/

[mmidnight]

Effie: No one is punching anyone! >:C
Maybe Prim wants to punch people in the face, haha.

Yes, exactly <3 Haymitch is always ready to give out praise for rule breaking that entertains him. Yeah, I think they can hang out for a bit after we give them their respective conversations and more training for Prim. In the next two weeks I think they'll have a few more opportunities to snuggle up with each other so they can tough it out for a night.

And I'm headed off to bed! Enjoy the rest of your night :3

[Genkai]

Okay so I posted. I controlled Johanna in my post she's yours in your reply.

And good, maybe the girls can seek out the guys next time because they're bored and hate reading alone or something. I mean it's a science experiment.

Anywho I am off to bed, ttyl~!

[mmidnight]

Looks good. I'll get started on something now.

That would be good. I think there will be a few different times before interview night at least where they can fall asleep together and be cute.

Hope you slept well c:

-EDIT-
Prim thinks Gale is a knight in shining armor >__> Aaaand would it be weird to say that Haymitch and Johanna have a short history? That might be some fun conflict, but I don't want to write it and have you be like, wtf is going on, I didn't consent to this! and then you'd shake your fist at me and I'd have to get off your lawn.

-EDIT 2-
Shorter because combat D; Hope everything I wrote is okay.

[Genkai]

Sorry I'm up so late! I actually woke up hours ago but I had some weird stomach pain so I took some painkiller and went back to bed but I'm awake now and I guess my mom got extra time off because of the President or something...I dunno so she'll be home early but hopefully I won't be summoned into the kitchen too much since she knows I can't cut things thin with my vision nor do I like dealing with onions. At most I'll be asked to get things she might not be able to. Anyway...I can work on a post now, is what I mean.

Nah your post wasn't shorter. I think it was longer lol either way it was good. By history, you mean just friends, not romantic right? I assume the insight with her mention is what you meant then? Or you scrapped it. XD

[mmidnight]

No, it's fine! I had to run out and pick up condensed milk for the pie. I'll probably be cooking around six (my time) or so, but my night will be free. I'm glad you're feeling better and lol, thanks Obama? At least she gets extra time to rest!

Longer? Oops D; It was like 900 some words, and my average is like 1000+ I just always have so much to say with this RP. And no, I meant romantic but I scrapped it because you weren't on to ask and I didn't want to do something that could possibly change everything. I just figure Haymitch has hooked up with some of the other mentors at one point or another. I mean, he's a man after all.

[Genkai]

I think he gives people at the V.A time off or something, I don't really get it but it's happened before close to a holiday. If anything, she'll be in the kitchen but happy to rest and I have to pretend I haven't slept half the day away (ex: look productive). If I recall you're 2-3 hours ahead of me...I won't do any cooking until tomorrow afternoon (which I expect both us will be pretty busy). Hopefully your pies turn out good, it's hard to bake them and not wanna eat them now.

No yeah, no...lol I wouldn't have wanted romantic, that would have fucked up Katniss a lot. ^^; I'll get a post up and then I'll have to work on some other posts cause for some reason...beyond my control, I keep posting here. So weird...gotta consult that shirtless er science book for answers. Yesss.

[mmidnight]

Oh, I never knew that, haha. At least she's got some time off. And I'm three hours ahead of you because you're in California, right? I'm in Michigan. I'm doing the pie and the cranberry sauce and the only thing I have to do tomorrow is the whipped cream. We take things over to my grandma's and then I do Christmas at our place because my mom hates to cook. And I hope it will! I officially have everything I need.

That's what I figured, haha. Which is why I scrapped it. I was trying to think of bitchy things Johanna could say and that popped into my head. At least she'll be able to fuck with Prim and flirt with Gale. Consult the book! It's got power over both of us, I do believe.

[Genkai]

Btw I PMed you and I hoped it didn't come off as bitchy or anything. And yeah, you're in MI and I'm CA and together we're...Mica. XD Or Cami. Whatever, I'm still tired and feeling dorky. You'll have to explain to me the appeal of cranberry sauce because I never understand. My friend last night was telling me she found a good recipe but I mean cranberries are so tart and bitter, do they really help with the richness of everything else? Oh yeah whip cream needs to be done the day of or an hour before it's needed so it doesn't get watery or anything. Mmm...it's so hard to think Thanksgiving is here, Halloween was like, yesterday.

Okay good, I would have been uncomfortable and so would have Katniss and then she'd have to go disinfect Haymitch. And I'm working on the post, getting in the modd for some fightin'.

Damn the book! >__>

[mmidnight]

I replied, haha. I didn't think it was bitchy at all! Ooh, Cami sounds cute, ngl. I like cranberries, even the stuff that comes out of the can but I found a really awesome recipe for it last year with bosc pears and cinnamon sticks and orange zest and garam masala and it came out fantastic. Everyone loved it, so I'm making it again this year because it was so good. And yes, I know, haha. No one needs watery whipped cream, that's just sad. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, tbh. Although now I need to get Christmas lists together >_<

Yaaas, bitch yaaas. Kick her ass, Katniss, yaaas. I'm ready for Johanna to get a black eye, tbh.

[Genkai]

-makes face- Maybe someday I'll come around to cranberries. But at least you sound like you know what you're doing with them. Aren't bosc pears really hard? Did you have them a bit more ripe or did the mixture break them down a little? We got some bosc pears in our produce box but aren't how we'd like to use them. Hey! You can't start thinking about xmas when it hasn't even been Thanksgiving yet! But it doesn't feel too far away...

I think we wanted to wait one more post right? ^^; (doesn't wanna wait but practice would help)

[mmidnight]

I'm going to make you try it and you'll be like, wow das delicious! but they're firmer, not super hard. they keep their shape when cooked down, so that's nice but they're sweet and they offset the tart cranberries really nicely. I have people ask me what I want for christmas at the beginning of november, haha. It's ridiculous. I'm going shopping for everyone on the third though.

Yes, we did. I was just saying, I can't wait for her to get punched I:
