[ Katniss has a warmer look on her face than she usually does when she speaks to people over the network. While the smile on her lips isn't large by anyone's standards, it's sweet and genuine. Her hair isn't in her usual braid, though her fingers are currently combing through it and working to do so. It gives her hands something to keep them busy while she talks. ]

I realized I should probably start looking for someone who can sew soon. Since my stylist isn't here with Peeta and Rue and I.

[ There's a sad look on her face for just the tiniest glimmer of a moment. She misses Cinna. She's almost certain he's dead. But she still misses him, and his beautiful dresses. ]

I need someone who can design a wedding dress for me. It doesn't have to be anything flashy or over-the-top. Just something simple. I can pay in money, or trade for game.

[ No one has prompted her to do this. But she knows they have a wedding to plan and an engagement to upkeep, so she figures now is as good a time as any. ]

Thank you.

I'm a professional wedding designer, if that's the kind of grade you're looking for.

[AKA: PICK MEEE]

I'm surprised both you and the other person replied so quickly... It's just a wedding dress. I don't need anything too extravagant. In my district, we just rented a community dress that's been worn probably hundreds of times. Most girls were happy just with that. You're the second offer I've gotten, too. Maybe you could work together. [ She's loathe to say it out loud but she'd hate to turn away two people who seem so eager to do this for her right now. They both seem excited about it. ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Oh, you've gotten another offer?

[Hrm. It's not like she can't work with someone, but what if they have terrible taste?]

Well, I'm not sure about your other offer, but I'm actually in the process of building a wedding planning and design firm. Any jobs I take between now and then serve as good publicity for my future business.

Plus, it's always been a passion of mine. I made my own wedding dress, once upon a time.

His name is Kurt Hummel, if you'd like to talk to him. I'd hate to turn either of you away. You both seem excited. [ Katniss can't understand being excited about fashion tbh. But they kind of remind her of Cinna so. That's good. ]

You did? You don't look old enough to be married.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Kurt Hummel, right.

[Taking a mental note annnnd-]

Oh, I'm over 100 years old, I think I'm old enough. [Said like it's an offhand comment about the weather. And moving on to things that are more important. Clearly.] So do you have any ideas about what you want?

[empowers]

Something simple. I don't need anything extravagant -- I don't really want -- I'm not the flashy type -- [ Wait a fucking second, apply the brakes. ] -- I'm sorry, did you say you're over one hundred years old?

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[Don't mind Alice, she's just taking notes down as Katniss talks and-

Oh, we're back on her. Darn.]

Oh, yes. I am.

[empowers]

How is that possible? [ She thinks back to all of the medical advances and surgical alterations in the Capitol. Immortality? Could it be possible? The thought sends a shudder through her. ]
