Second Floor Common Room [Friday evening]

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

Katniss and Rue had, on the floor before them, a truly bizarre assortment of food: several different kinds of fruit, a couple loaves of bread, a box of Twinkies (she had to prove they were real), and as much candy as Katniss had been able to carry.

"Even I haven't been able to try all of these," Katniss admitted, tentatively pulling a Twizzler.

[open open open! Katniss will share her very moddable food. :D]

"It's like the Capitol," Rue said, eyes wide. "Food is everywhere."

She poked at a box labeled "Skittles." "And comes in scary colors."

"I think they like their food bright here," Katniss said, making a little face. "I'm not sure what those taste like."

Rue poured a handful out and poked at them suspiciously before trying a purple one.

"It tastes like...sugar," she decided. "And purple. Can something taste purple?"

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

"If anything can," Katniss said, selecting a green one, "I bet these could." She carefully tried the little candy, and frowned a bit. "It tastes green, yeah."

Scully was showing Melissa around after a day spent catching up on everything in the last three years. "Hello," she said, not knowing either of the girls in the room. She sent Melissa mild look of worry. "I'm Scully. This is my sister Melissa. She's, uh. Visiting."

"Hello," Melissa said as well, with much less worry or noticeable anxiety than Scully. "Is it dinner time? Maybe I should make something."

Katniss managed a tiny smile for both of the girls. "My name is Katniss," she volunteered. "This is Rue. She's also visiting. And if you would like to cook, I'm hardly going to stop you." She held up an orange. "We're eating food we don't normally get at home."

Scully sat down, interested, but looking over to watch her sister grin evilly and head into the kitchen. "Where are you from? And are you new, or have I just not met you before?" She smiled at Rue, unwilling to ask too many questions, given her own particular situation.

Peter wandered into the common room, and paused for a moment.

"Is it bring your little sister to school day?" he asked, being a snarky bastard as he was wont to do.

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

"No. My little sister is still at home," Katniss replied, raising an eyebrow at him. "But this is my friend, Rue. She's visiting."

[mockingjay-song.livejournal.com]

Rue gave him a little wave, moving her snacks out of his reach with her other hand.

A bad Rue the day pun popped into Peter's head, but he thought better of it. "Nice to meet you. Both, actually. I'm Peter."

[crystal-sister.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Melissa said from the kitchen, deadpan. "You have to go out and get one or we won't give you spaghetti."

Scully facepalmed.

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Given my options here, I think I'll go without spaghetti," Peter said. "As kidnapping isn't my thing, and it's a little late for me to end up with any siblings."

"Peter, this is my older sister, Melissa," Scully said, biting her lip, clearly uncomfortable but with a smile lurking. "Missy, this is Peter Bishop a friend of mine. And don't harass him too much."

Wes walked in, still beaming from his adventure in his marksmanship class. "Hello," he said brightly, having gotten comfortable enough with Katniss not to stammer around her and verify that he wasn't disturbing her.

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Wesley," Katniss said, giving him a rather genuine smile. Hey, she knew him and liked him, and Rue was here. Good enough reason to smile if she ever saw one. "Want some candy? This is my friend, Rue. She's visiting."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thank you," Wes said cheerfully, accepting a few pieces. "Hello, Rue. I'm Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. I'd heard quite a few students had visitors this week. Are you also, er..." He trailed off, not sure how to ask someone if she was dead.

Tactful, Wes.

"Not normally here?" Rue tried. "Yes."

Kurt wandered into the room with a bag of popcorn and tossed it into the microwave. "Hello!" he called, waving at all the new people he didn't recognize.

Okay, so he'd poked his nose into a few other common rooms before this one, looking for one that had people in it. That was perfectly normal, wasn't it?

[mockingjay-song.livejournal.com]

Rue looked alarmed when the machine started banging. "What is that?"

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

"It's just popcorn," Kurt answered, confused. "You don't have popcorn where you're from?" The fact that he was using a magic metal box to cook it with? Was completely lost on him. "You shall have to try some when it's done! It's good!"

[mockingjay-song.livejournal.com]

"It's very noisy," Rue said disapprovingly.

[thegirl-onfire.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Katniss called, thankfully recognizing the popcorn for what it was. "I'll trade," she said, gesturing to the candy stash. "Some of what we have for a handful of popped corn?"

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

Kurt grinned. "You can have some of the popcorn anyway -- it's not really popcorn if you're not sharing it with someone, after all! But if you're serious, ja, I would like some!"
