Eighth Dispatch: The Malnosso Have Answered My Plea, They Must Want to Hire Me

[trinkett]

Is anyone here good at fixing things? [Because Richard Sharpe's precious pistol is still in pieces and she can't go to the Smithy because Sokka -- whom she has no idea is gone -- is Katniss's ex-boyfriend and there's awkwardness there. Also, she sounds absolutely cheerful and not like she's terrified for her life because of the aforementioned Sharpe.

Effie might be somewhat out of touch with many of her emotions and what's considered normal, but she knows Sharpe well enough to realize that he might very well shoot her on sight for what has happened.

That's why, when she goes out walking later, she has her new enormous dog towing her along. She got him for Christmas. The dog she wanted was this.


The dog she got is this: .

His name is Jason. Effie has to carry a towel to contain the slobber. His hairs are definitely sticking to her amazing Rufus Praza midnight blue Star coat (structured with Swarovski-like crystals over the heart.) She has to pick hairs out of her very thick makeup. But he's worth it. She feels safe for once -- actually, legitimately safe to be out.

[She had delivered the note by hand, slipping it under the door of Effie's apartment. In honor of the season, Katniss had even put forth effort to write in her best script. The gift had been a simple enough invitation, a welcome to return to the house if the woman so chose.

But since the delivery of the note sometime after the winter holiday, she hadn't heard back from the woman. And the part of her that really didn't want another roommate hadn't pressed the question. They had worked out a balance - her and Richard and Prim and Rue. It'd be a balance that Effie would easily interrupt.

So when she sees this, she's a little surprised to still hear nothing in this about the invite. But she answers anyway, with a quick:]

Richard is.

[Rue, being Rue, is up traveling about in the trees, her mockingjay companion flying along from branch to branch. It's faster than walking and much more fun anway. Up in the trees, she spots Effie and

...Whatever the big giant furry thing walking alongside her is.

Rue's honestly not sure whether to stare more at the woman once from the Capitol or the big fluffy dog. She drops out of her tree a good distance in front of Effie. Her mockingjay lands lightly on the top of her head.]

Is that a muttation?

[Karla's walking along the village as per usual, and notices Effie. And wow, what a big dog she has!]

Oh, Effie! You finally got a dog?

[allbloodyhail]

[ he stops dead, cigarette hanging out of his mouth and hands stuffed in his pockets. ]

Is that a dog or a bear?
