Sixth Dispatch | Action

[Since her return, Effie hasn't been up to talking over the journals. Mostly she's been listening and trying to recover -- locked away in Katniss's house until Jack Horner returned, and then locked away in Horner's house. She hasn't wanted to be around people -- not with her face and much of her body still sporting some pretty vicious-looking scars.

In Capitolista culture, scars are just about the death-knell to any self-respecting woman's social life, career -- you name it.

Today, though, she is going to venture out to pick up some walnut-free cookies for Jack and some clementines for Clementine and some romance novels for herself. Bodice-rippers. Real smutty, steamy stuff that's perfect for escapism, even if one can only escape for a few hours per book. It's worth it.

Find her at the library and the grocery store. She will be wearing a cloak pulled almost all the way over her face, a scarf around the lower half of her face, and elbow-length gloves; tall boots and tights cover any evidence of violence on her legs. She's trying not to draw attention to herself, though she is wearing complete make-up and bright green wig.]

Funny. You know, at one time during my stay here? I thought I might go work for him.

[That was probably out of the question now.]

Really? Good thing you didn't. That guy is a grade-A creep. Who just puts fake memories into an entire group of people for fun?

[Hers weren't even that bad compared to some people's...aside from the awkwardness of having her boyfriend in that fake reality cheating on her with another guy.]

There are way better people to work for than a psycho like him.

That Carol person has the job I truly want -- liaison.

Well, if you were going to work for them, that would be a good job for you.

[Bulla still doesn't think that's a great idea, but.]

Maybe you could point out to the Malnosso that it's kind of pointless to bring in people from other worlds to act as a military force and then cut their power in half.

If I DO point it out, it will have to appear as though it's their idea. [She sighs. Listless. That word describes Effie well right now.]

It's very hard for one to work her way in with them.

Unfortunately, they seem to have made up their minds about having everyone here as a potential military force.

[And for experimentation, but Bulla's tactful enough not to bring that up. She doesn't know what had happened to Effie, courtesy of being out of commission at the time that Effie was put on display.]

If you're ever drafted, maybe you'll have your chance to prove your organizational skills to the Malnosso so you can help without having to fight.

I...yes. My organizational skills. I'm sure they'll put me in a very secure location with plenty of guards.


...Does your brother fight?

Not as much as he used to, but he's still very strong. The world tournament used to have a junior division for competitors under the age of eighteen and he was the junior division champion when he was only eight.

[She considers where he's at now for a moment. Trunks is still a competent fighter.]

He's still definitely in the top ten strongest fighters, even with sacrificing a lot of his training in favour of his job.

I think his intelligence will probably be an even bigger asset. He's amazing with technology. Not as good as Mom, though.

[In fact, she's wondering if they could grab a Malnosso droid and reprogram it...]

It's nice having a brother. There's a big age gap between us, but we get along.

[Effie's enthusiasm makes Bulla a little concerned.]

I'll have to talk to him and see when he's available.

[And subtly encourage him to not be available.]
