9th Design [voice]

[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.

If it's so bothersome, you could always close your shop down early for the day. It should be over later on, though.

It seems to be playing everywhere. At least it and other songs. Some of them are quite lovely, the rest...

Oh, that reminds me, I have some leather samples I'd like you to see. I think I've matched that blue sample you showed me and I want to make certain its right before I begin making a complete outfit.

Are tacky beyond belief. I've been trying to play over the ugly ones, but it's not really working.

I'd be happy to come by. When's good for you?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow? Sometime after lunch?

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

That sounds good. As long as the color is right, I'm pretty open to whatever you'd like to do with the design itself.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Oh, you shouldn't give me free reign like that, I might get creative.

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

I figured you'd like that.

Harpers are allowed to be creative with their gear, as long as it's the right color and the crest is on display somewhere.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

You'll have to draw or describe the crest to me again.

I usually use a cloak pin for my badge, so that would work, unless you really wanted to work it in somehow.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't hurt to see it. Perhaps from it I can pull inspiration for the garment itself.

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

If you like. I'll be sure to bring it along. Is there anything else you'd like to see while I'm there?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

If you have anything you think might prove inspirational, please, feel free.

[sings4dragons.livejournal.com]

Of course. Thank you.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

You're more than welcome, my dear.
