Sixth Dispatch | Action

[trinkett]

[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.]

"He's not here," she said with some relief. Then, sizing up Aang with new eyes: "Your best friend?!"

[savedtheworld]

"That's right," he said with a simple nod, puzzled at how Effie could be acting this way about. "We're from the same world, and we've known each other for a really long time."

[trinkett]

"But...your BEST friend?!"

[savedtheworld]

"Yep, that's Sokka! Well, Katara could count too. A lot of my close friends are the best! But Sokka's the first that comes to mind when I think of friends. What's so weird about that?"

[trinkett]

Oh, Aang. She REALLY needs to step up and help you!

"Nothing. Nothing. We'll...we'll fix that. I can help. Don't worry, young fellow, don't worry..."

Sokka's such a bad influence, you see.

[savedtheworld]

"I'm not worried. And, there's nothing that needs to be fixed."

[trinkett]

She just smiles at him. Oh, so much to be fixed! And she so loves fixing, she does she does!

[savedtheworld]

"Oh... okay!" what is this lady's deal. "You know, I got my milk. Maybe I should just... head back now!" He says, briefly raising the bagged milk as if it were a trophy.

[onlyeffie]

"You head back, my friend!" Yes. Yes, he should be worried. "Enjoy your milk!"

[savedtheworld]

Even if he's worried about what a weirdo you are, Effie?

"Thanks! I will." He said with a meek smile as he slowly took some steps backward. And he raised some fingers in a wave. "Seeya?"

[inyourfavor]

"Soon, I hope!"

Bom bom boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.
