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?]

...alright.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

It's a whole thing. It's cute, really. Santa comes down the chimney and brings presents and kids leave cookies and milk.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

It sounds... interesting. For the children.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

It is. Do you have any holidays back in Panem?

[ She assumes if he knows Finnick, they're from the same place. ]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Some small celebrations, all government-sanctioned, of course. And the Games, but... they're best forgotten.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

Hm. Well, you'll enjoy Christmas. It's a most wonderful time of the year. [ God, she's killing herself with actually Xmas song references. ]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it is. [Pity those references are wasted on him.]

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Just thought I'd warn you. You okay?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ten minutes ago would have been nice, but I'm alright.

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?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. Did someone fill you in on this Black Friday thing?

[fallenbrownbird.livejournal.com]

Huh. I think we should ask somebody.

[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.

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

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Yes, in brief. Ladies, please don't pull on that.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I certainly intend to.

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

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

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

I was thinking I'd come by when you close up, walk you home.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

So I'm seeing.

[Video]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...I rather think I'll pass.

[fallenbrownbird.livejournal.com]

Let us know what you find out!!

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

If you're available, I wouldn't say no, but I do have a small cot here that I can sleep on.

...I decided it would be best to be prepared for these things.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I certainly will. You haven't tried to go out and about today, have you?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

You don't have to stay if you don't want. I can come get you.

Better safe than sorry, though, huh?

[construire.livejournal.com]

They still beating you up?
