Wait, Haymitch goes to find Peeta and Katniss on the roof and mentions that he needs to talk to Peeta? And then Peeta tells Prim and Gale the plan at lunch, and then gives Haymitch the distraction plan that night? Sorry if I'm being a pain, I just want to get everything straight so I know how to end. It might end up being a long post, just a warning. And ugh, Prim is going to be worried that Katniss hates her ;n;

I don't think so? I mean, who knows, but I too always thought they had to stay inside or at least stay where they were being housed. I think if they needed anything, like spa services, it would be brought to them so they had no chance of escaping?

It's good so far! I'm not very far into it because I stopped to watch Chris Pine on Off Camera and have dinner.

Alright, then I'll detail Prim and Haymitch's talk in one post and get it all done and over with. At the end, I can have him go and find Katniss or if not then I can take us right to morning? I don't think anyone is really in the mood to talk right now, but I could be wrong and wouldn't mind throwing in whatever you felt like. And that sounds like a good plan, so I'll have her follow them up after her morning of Liam Neeson-ing and talk to Katniss about everything. I think the ball would make more sense at the end of the week and to just randomly throw it in on like, a Wednesday, for example is weird. Like, maybe it's there to break up the training, like, go have fun for now and later get right back to it?

And I'll get to work once you let me know where to end. I was caught up in reading Gone Girl at my mom's urging, haha.

I think the afternoon is the best place for it. We've got a lot planned for the night and it might be hard to fit Peeta in. Plus, once he sees that Prim is starting to show some progress, he'll probably feel more confident about including her. We could have her and Katniss go up to the suite for lunch? I think they could make up there and then maybe Peeta can find Prim and Gale right before they go back to training? I don't want to skip it D; I want them to hug it out. My view is that Haymitch is going to be told less because Snow will be looking at him and Katniss to be sneaky, so Gale and Prim were his next best bet. And ofc Haymitch will tell Katniss whatever Peeta told him.

You really don't have to apologize :3 I totally understand where you were coming from. I have other things to reply to, but I'm really not in the mood for it >__> I'm going to start on the Prim/Haymitch post and I figure that will go on for 2-3 between us because writing to yourself for an extended period of time is kind of boring. Are they going to bed after their respective conversations or did you want to do something else with the night?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Noo, it's really okay. Really :3

I think Prim is just at a point where she's going to have to either prove people wrong or die, and she's frustrated with herself because she doesn't have the confidence right now to do the former. But we have a plan and she's really going to come through it better and more useful once they get to the arena. Another part of that is definitely going to be Peeta including her in the plan. But she and Katniss are going to make up and Prim is going to give her a big hug <3 She looks up to Katniss and I think it's going to be really fun to see their similarities as siblings come out.

I think maybe if she comes around during lunch and then they could spend some time together that night before dinner? I think everyone would be against big displays of affection in the training area. Especially Haymitch because wtf, hugs are a good way to get killed, stop it right now I: But really, don't feel stupid! I've cried a lot over characters in past roleplays, like ugly sobbing over the angst my partner and I had created. I don't doubt that this will have me doing the same thing when we get into the thick of it.

And I'm headed off to bed, btw. I thought I would tell you so you didn't think I had just abandoned this conversation, but it's 3AM and my pill has kicked in. I'll be around all day tomorrow though! I hope you have a good night!

I think there's a lot of drama involved in any Hunger Games RP and I think it's important to highlight a few of the major conflicts that will lead to character development. I've got some ideas for Haymitch as well but those are mostly for the arena and we're not there yet. In real time, we've still got a lot to do with everything in terms of training, and the ball and interviews and the fluff that we're sticking in here and there. One of Haymitch's turning points is going to be the ball and I think I touched on that last night about his drinking and realizing more that Katniss is someone he really does love. I mean, he already knows, but seeing her all dressed up and confident is going to do something more for him. Believe me, I've been there with partners needing drama 24/7 and that's not what I'm trying to do at all, so I'm extremely sorry if I came off that way. I love this RP and writing with you has been so much fun, so I'd hate to do something that made you lose interest.

And really, I can have Prim come around much earlier if it's going to make you less anxious. I don't mind at all. I definitely get super involved in the writing too, so I understand your concerns.

Oh, I'm sorry D; I didn't know it bothered you IRL. I was going to have Prim talk to Katniss at the end of the next day after she's feeling better about herself, but if you want I can bump it up to the afternoon or even the morning? I imagine getting some time in with Haymitch and learning a few tricks will have her feeling better. Whatever you want to do, I'm very flexible. And I agree, they need to be strong together. It wasn't my intention to come off like Prim didn't want anything to do with her.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Are you sure? I'd hate for something to go unresolved :c You can PM me if you like, or I'm still on Skype?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Oh, alright :/ I just thought I did something wrong.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Okay. Did I say something wrong, or...?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Sorry! I ended up watching a really weird movie with my mom. I'm here for an hour or two though :3

And I really hope your brother gets better. Addiction is hard, but at least he has people in his life who are supportive.

I think Prim is more torn between wanting to do things on her own and still needing Katniss's support? Maybe she's even a little jealous that she's been spending so much time with Haymitch too because that was an issue when they had all gone on that hike in the woods. Either way, she doesn't want to be babied and I don't think she would be as pissed off if she wasn't getting mixed messages from just about everyone because they're like, oh u can do it prim, but at the same they're like, we gonna protect u. It's really more a matter of Prim finding her own place and her own skills. I imagine the next day of training she's not going to want to be around anyone and she's just going to work her ass off. In addition to the knife thing, I thought it would also be good for her to get with one of the Capitol trainers and learn some hand to hand combat. Her taking the initiative is more for herself, but she figures it will shut everyone up. And besides, you have to figure that Katniss has protected her from everything their whole lives and for her to give up all of the sudden is pretty hard for Prim to understand /Prim thoughts.

Nooo, thankfully the bowl didn't break. It landed on the rubber top so all of the air kind of deflated out of it. So it was limp and sad when I put it on the pie instead of fluffy and lovely like it had been when I made it. But, oh well. It was still good. And I did try and use a whisk to get some more air into it, but it just wasn't working. It sounds like you had a nice day, though :3 I hope your friend isn't upset with you for seeing the movie without her?

And yes, we have food for tomorrow :3 I hope you have delicious leftovers as well!
