9th Design [voice]

[threadthefire]

[The audio opens to the ending of a nice rendition of O, Holy Night. Cinna's voice speaks clearly.]

It's all very lovely for the most part, but it seems rather repetitive. [As he's speaking, however, the song changes to, well, something else. So far, only the instrumental introduction is heard.]

Different arrangements, but they're all the same songs. So I ask, is it common in your worlds to listen to all of them over and over, like today, or is this simply the City's attempt at driving us mad?

[He pauses for a little while to listen, you may even catch him humming a little as he picks up the basic melody.] This one seems nice, but... some of them are a little strange, you have to admit. For example, why someone would sing about the death of their Grandmother at the hooves of... a... [The vocals have kicked in. City, have some chipmunks. There's silence on Cinna's end until...]

...you must be joking. Not even the Capitol would listen to that.

I don't believe they have anything on anyone.

Don't be a grump. It's Christmas. You had the rest of the year to be cranky.

I'm not... what did you say, a "grump". I'm simply annoyed that I have no choice in what I'm listening to today.

[thenormalsquint]

Have you considered earplugs?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I did, but then my customers wanted to talk to me.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

And putting them back in afterwards is a problem?

audio;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Then how would I talk to you, my dear?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

These things do have a text option.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Oh, but that's so impersonal.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Oh, and like hearing a voice without the face isn't?

[Click, have a smiling Cinna, Angela.]

You could always come by my shop.

[He gets a smiling Angela in return.]

I could, but that depends on what you sell and if I have a need for it.

I'm a stylist, the most talented back home if I do say so myself. My current shop is regretfully limited to clothing, but I also design hair, make-up, if it can make you look beautiful, I can do it.

Back home where?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Panem. I'm from the Capitol.

[He chuckles ruefully.] Not that I expect you to know it. It seems there are few here who do.

I'm Cinna, I don't believe we've been introduced.

I know it by way of Finnick. Same way I know about you.

[Oh, yes, Cinna. Finnick has bragged about your skills.]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[As well he should. Cinna's smile widens a bit.]

Ahhh, Finnick. How am I not surprised a lovely lady such as yourself has made his acquaintance?

[thenormalsquint]

[Angela rolls her eyes, clearly amused.]

Are all the men of Pandem so loose and free with their flattery?

video;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, but I flatter because I'm hoping to impress a potential client to allow me to enhance her natural grace.

Finnick's just... Finnick.

[thenormalsquint]

You mean allow my wallet to enhance yours. But that's okay. I understand I have an addiction to shoes and you like to make rent.

video;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Really, I have an addiction to style, that I can make a living at it is a blessing.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

Well, I'm a tough customer. I'm picky about my style and what I wear. Think you can handle that?

[Cinna, you will be asked to find things in colors that don't even exist.]

video;

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I think I would love the challenge.

[He will make them exists by sheer force of will.]

video;

[thenormalsquint]

You're on then.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

And when would you like this challenge to begin?
