Beyond a Fire's Embers

I didn't want to make Gale too high, he's got sword skills and survival skills but I'm just remembering how little that mattered to the careers from the last Games. XD

I'd pay money to see Peeta try to show them some fancy walk for the interviews. I'll figure something out and finish it before bed. It should be done within the hour I think~

We can wing the interviewer order, see how things pan out there after the whole scores and stuff settle down, no big deal. I'll probably give Katniss like a 10 or 11 maybe just to mock the other tributes in the eyes of the Gamemakers? I'd say Gale would get something in the middle, maybe like a 8?

I'd rather be distracted by Netflix than find nothing on there to watch. I also like the music and that it's not the cop show trying to be big and fancy and add complicated shit like CSI might. If you're ever bored, give it a go. The episodes (there's like 9) are long so it's hard to binge watch (to me that's good).

And my post may be a bit small. Should I do anything with Peeta, Gale and Prim or let them chit chat? Everyone is mingling overall so should I skip the meal?

Here will have to do eheh.

At first I thought that was a person, then I re-read it and remembered that's also a brand of medicine. I'm dumb. Most antihistamines don't work on me but you could try and figure out what sort work best for you. I guess it may depend on what's in them and what may be different. But you shouldn't wanna get drowsy if you can find a better alternative if you're taking it in the day time.

Yeah, them mingling in the suite would need a couple posts to brag, contemplate death, etc. And of course make Peeta feel like a super proud papa bear or something. The scores are out of 12 right? Or was it like 15 or something? I think we'd want generally everyone to get a mid-high score right? There isn't much of a point if they try to act weak now right? And if you wanna different, order that's fine. I know it was gonna depend somewhat on where our pairs were developed but right now, they're both in pretty good spots to not need to worry too much about being honest or something. And moments between the interviews will def be needed~

I've heard pretty positive things about Bloodline. I watched Unbreakable a week or two ago in two days, not bad if you ignore the final two episodes. And Wallander has Kenneth Branagh in it, who is always a stellar actor. It's mostly your run of the mill cop show but since each episode is about 90 minutes or more, you get more bang for your buck. The cases are more interesting than most, but I also like that it's set in Sweden, a setting rarely used these days. Heh.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Nah, it's cool. I still haven't downloaded it yet. ^^;

Cool, I'll add where I can~

That is true, make sure you keep some on you if you go out, just in case.

I think we wanted to sum up whatever they did for the Gamemakers and go right to them finding out. I think we wanted the interviews to be pretty much a mass text of us interviewing ourselves. I think it was...Prim, Gale, Haymitch, Katniss? Maybe after we could slow down for sort of the aftermath? I assume what's side during the interviews will be equally funny, sweet, depressing and revealing to say, people who know what a statement means as opposed to it sounding otherwise innocent to the normal audience?

And have you seen Wallander by any chance? I've been watching it on Netflix recently.

I figure we'd just have quick bullet notes of events. Like notable interactions, plot points.

I'll be waiting too, since there will surely be kinks for them to work out. Whenever that happens, I'm sure they will release more info so we can check it out without being too thrown off.

There's no rush if your insurance is fine then. Some people tend to wait near the end or beginning of a year due to premiums or whatever but at least you didn't brush off it as something.

Should we go right to when they do their presentation and then get the scores? I figure we'll need one more post between us to close this scene with Haymitch and Katniss, and Gale and Prim and we could then skip in my next post?

@Whoami I did mention 'all-OC plots' would need to be pretty snazzy and for what you proposed, it seems like the world would be more of a secondary thing to the issue of keeping secrets and identities, which kind of lacks the fun I think LoK has to offer. The issue between benders and nonbenders is an interesting one but I don't think it would hold my attention compared to say, tweaking with canon events and characters.

Since time is rare for me, I'd rather go forward feeling confident and with all-OCs, it's not quite there.

@Saltia One thread would likely be more clean, so that's fine with me.

I figure the thing about having it set in the muggle world would be like, the wizarding world has become too dangerous if say, the war at Hogwarts resulted in some kind of loss with people fleeing more than fighting. My thought would be to have whichever pair blend in with muggle life while trying to defend other muggles from stray magical dangers like beasts or the Dark Lord's followers.

I was thinking we could be in republic city during Amon's uprising.

@Whoami

By that, I figure you're aiming for OCs over canons? If that's the case, did you have a plot with an OC? I don't use them in this fandom so I'd need to rely on an idea from you before I can create a role and add to your idea. If not all OCs, then what canons can you play as?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Yeah, I think soon you can edit my posts so if the need arises, we'll have it. Probably when we get our timeline up. ^^

Everyone gives 8 a hard time, to me it just makes certain programs easier to get to and they're all in one place. I haven't heard much about 10 except it's coming out soon and I guess free to those using 8...? And yes, I finally have a laptop again, I can finally use Photoshop and make us some pretty banners or something. Now I don't have to use my tablet as a crutch anymore and just use it for fun.

Sleep helps most things. It's a nice restart button. I love banana and peanut butter sandwiches...and bananas and cereal lol/ But that sounds really scary. I wish I could say it might be the peanut butter but I don't think risking it would be worth it. Do you think you'd be able to eat like a peanut butter cup and be okay or with all that PB-ness, it might be even worse. It still boggles my mind how one minute someone can eat something and then eat it later and it suddenly not agree with their body/chemistry. Humans are weird, man. I dunno if allergy tests are costly, but if you do go in next time, you could mention it? An extra trip and cost seems pointless but if you're staying cautious, I think you'll be okay. ^^

Yes! For my post, should I keep us in the same scene/night? My mind is totally blanking on the present situation. I know we wanna do the train thing and I'll add that into my first OOC post under the other stuff. Unless we wanted to move all plot stuff to the CS?

Corrected & Connected

Thank you and thank you!

@Saltia I think doing a Harry x Hermione with a Draco x Hermione would be doable. I know anyone with Luna is automatically cute but I can't easily let go of my OTP if I can help it. ^^; We could put them in the same thread, just with a line-break separating them. Or two threads work as long as both are kept up simultaneous. Sometimes people tend to give more attention to one pair if they double, and to me, then it's not really doubling, nor fair.

And fair enough, I don't know if I'll need a post a day since I do try to reply to people who have waited longer, so if I have two posts to work on and one you just posted to ours, I'll probably still do the two before getting to ours unless we've talking rather extensively and a post is likely to come up due to us being online at the same time and working out any kinks. So don't feel obligated to quickly get me something since I end up getting sluggish every now and then and I feel bad about that.

I do like to give copious amounts myself, I have a Hunger Games roleplay that provides plenty of exmaples of how long winded my posts can get, if you feel the need to check it's called Beyond a Fire's Embers. That also shows how active I can be and then how busy life can get. If I have to make people wait, I do intend to make it worth while.

So...

If you're willing to play Harry, I can play Draco.

And in regards to plots, I'll list some random buzz words/ideas and see what clicks:

- Using the Time Turner
- Working through canon events and tweaking them
- Post-War, return to Hogwarts to finish education
- A close/sudden death of someone they love
- Tutoring
- Changing the House they were sorted into
- Set more in the muggle world
- Changing a major canon event
- Them as adults, teaching at Hogwarts
