[Have a nice, interior shot of a very full passionné and a swivel to a very happy Cinna, standing on the stairs to the second floor.]

Well, I'll certainly say this is a nice way to cap off that week. Full house all around, my reputation must precede me.

If there's anyone here that would like to say hello, I'll be here at the shop, come on by.

[ooc: Anything goes, just don't tell him he's supposed to be played by Lenny Kravtiz.]

Thank you, anything tempt your fancy?

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

I'm not really one for temptation, to tell you the truth. But it's the nature of the artist to want his works appraised, isn't it?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I suppose, although most artists I know create for the sake of creation's sake. Appraisal is nice, but the act it self is what's important.

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

You could argue it's the final step in the process of creation, if you wanted. The moment at the conclusion when you step back and see that it's good.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ah, but that's a personal observation, not the adoration of the masses.

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about adoration? You of all people should know that something doesn't have to be liked to make a statement.

And what good is a creation if no one ever sees it?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Are you certain we haven't met?

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

Did I ever say we haven't?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

What's your name?

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

Elle.

There's another that goes with it, but since you're just Cinna, let's stick with just that one for the time being.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Elle, although I'm certain I'd remember such a lovely lady.

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you think I'm lovely. You aren't usually so generous.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm... not?

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

Not with me. Normally you think I'm unfair and cruel. But sometimes that's how it goes, isn't it? Lovely on the outside, ugly beneath the surface?

It's all right, though. You're entitled to the negativity.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...that's awfully harsh to assume of me.

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

It's not an assumption, but that's not the point. Most of the people you know are fairly unhappy with me.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Who are you?

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

I bet you won't believe me even after I tell you. So let's see if I can make you guess it yourself.

I'm a bitch. I'm not fair. I'm far too short. I'm unequal. I've been pretty generous to you and pretty horrible to everyone else, and that eats you up inside. And you've had a sneaking suspicion for a long time that you and I aren't going to be acquainted much longer, after the stunt you pulled with Katniss's dress.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...I really don't...

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

So much for the fabulous trip to Disneyworld.

I'm the physical incarnation of life itself.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

[He's heard... stranger things?] Life, just... life.

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

Life. The all-encompassing, all-afflicting, very personification of.

Death is here, too, but we had a feeling you'd take it a little better if I stopped by, instead.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I've never been fond of death, I can't say I'll miss her... him?

[and-identity.livejournal.com]

Him. And he's friendlier than you might think. Certainly moreso than I am. He has more capacity to care than I do.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

One would hope.
