8th Design [accidental voice]

[threadthefire]

[There's the sound of slight chaos as Cinna's voice, slightly strained, comes over the Network.]

No, madam, I assure you it isn't ninety, eighty, seventy, sixty, fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten or even five percent off. And it most certainly isn't two for one.

Don't you know what day this is?

I believe it's Saturday, madam.

You're a right perfect Grinch aren't you?

Madam, I-

A horrible, terrible, awful, anti-Christmas, Grinch!

Madam, please, calm-

[SMACK!] GRINCH!

[There's the sound of someone stomping off and a pause before Cinna speaks again. You can almost hear him rubbing his wounded cheek.]

What kind of curse is this?


[ooc: Cinna, completely uncursed has been overrun today with people asking about sales, deals and giveaways and he is CONFUSED. Also, I couldn't resist - what hiatus?]

I'd be careful, if I were you. The public seems more than a little vicious today.

... please tell me you don't want to press charges against that woman because if you do, we might not have space in the jail.

[ooc: There's a thread (http://sings4dragons.livejournal.com/63021.html?view=1788717#t1788717) Cinna might be interested in!]

Oh, hello - this... ah, I see, it broadcast. That seems to be a bit of an understatement, considering some of the things I've seen.

As for pressing charges... I doubt any would stick as I understand the police tend to overlook these actions on curse days.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

We try to keep dangerous people in custody until the curse is over to keep them from hurting anyone else.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Right, well, I imagine you're all quite busy with that.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

Mmm, it's not a curse, actually. It's simply the continuation of the holiday.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

What holiday? That Thanksgiving day was this Thursday past. Am I missing something?

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

You haven't heard of Black Friday, have you?

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I don't know what kind of curse this is.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

People have gone insane. Is the bakery like this?

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I've been in the back all day.

THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER BRB

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Be careful, some of the girls hit.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...really? I seem to have missed that.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Just thought I'd warn you. You okay?

[fallenbrownbird.livejournal.com]

...I wonder what a Grinch is. I guess it's not nice...

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I was just asking Peeta if he'd heard the term before.

[fallenbrownbird.livejournal.com]

And if you haven't heard of it, it's not a Capitol term...

Wow, people are being pretty aggressive. Don't you always hate that when you go shopping? Salespeople who won't leave you alone about this product that comes with that performance plan and so on and so forth?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I don't really have this problem back home, but I can see that today is... unique.

Well if you want them, I have some fake vampire teeth here that you can buy for the cheap price of five bucks.

[construire.livejournal.com]

They modeled the curse after an American tradition. The day after Thanksgiving, stores sell everything ridiculously cheap. And people are ridiculously eager.

It's a little exaggerated here.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

So I'm seeing.

[construire.livejournal.com]

They still beating you up?

[Action]

[Lucy is one of those shoppers. I'm so terribly sorry, Cinna.]

If I take this [She holds up a gorgeous gauzy gown] And those [Points to a pair of silvery boots] Can I get the matching bag for at least half off. Seriously. You've got to make this worth winning.

[Action]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[Oh, my God, people what are you?] I'm sorry, miss, but no. I'm not having any sales today. If you like the bag and can't afford it, I'm more than willing to hold it for up to two weeks.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Please. I brought Harry's credit card with me. [She is rolling her eyes at you, Cinna. Clearly you have mistaken her for someone without a Sugar Daddy. How dare you!]

It's the spirit of the thing.
