Finnick, when we get the tree to celebrate the birth of our savior (Katniss), remember we need to get a really dry one. When we burnt it down last year, you watered it too much and it took too long.

Why do you burn it?

[Not that he knows what a Christmas tree is in the first place.]

[johannamason]

Obviously you don't know Katniss.

[waywardboy]

... I'm new.

She burns things?

[johannamason]

No, not intentionally.

[waywardboy]

[There's a long pause.]

... does she burst into flames?

[He's fought some demons that do that.]

[johannamason]

You're quick.

[waywardboy]

[He frowns, slightly.]

Is she a demon?

[johannamason]

Who isn't?

fixed, didn't realize default was text!

[waywardboy]

I'm not.

[sunflowersister]

Well that's an unusual way to celebrate. Are you Danish?

[johannamason]

I don't know what that is.

[pelagically]

I thought the slow burn was nice. Symbolic, even.

[johannamason]

You don't need to get sentimental about it.

[pelagically]

Fine, I won't water the tree.

[pelagically]

What are you getting Katniss for her very own holiday?

[johannamason]

Nothing. It's not mandatory.

[pelagically]

I think it might be.

[johannamason]

What are you getting her?

[pelagically]

Something practical.

[johannamason]

That's not an answer. Rope?

[pelagically]

What would she use rope for?

[johannamason]

To hang herself? What wouldn't you use rope for?

[pelagically]

Rope is my thing.

[pelagically]

Katniss has her own thing. I'm getting her something she'll actually use, brainless.

[johannamason]

This seems stupid.
