So, correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but these alterations - they weren't voluntary? You all just woke up with them? Because I've seen fads catch like wildfires before, but this seems a bit much.

[There's a pause that seems as if he's somewhere watching someone pass him by.] You need some color variation in the glint and glimmer, perhaps some subtle shading? People aren't meant to be alabaster-diamond statues, they do have facial features that need highlighting lest they start to look like sparkly lumps. Perhaps the Deities would like some advice for future alterations?

Which brings me to the point of this message...

For those I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Cinna. I'm a designer and stylist of some repute back home and am looking to build a portfolio here. Seeing as this appears to be the major venue of communication for this place I thought I'd ask if there are any shops available I can work out of. I'd like to come to some kind of arrangement as I haven't the supplies or equipment here to go into business for myself quite yet.

And on a more personal note, Peeta and Katniss, I've found a lovely apartment here in the City proper, with a pleasant view and easy access to a number of locations. It's also quite quiet as there seem to be a number of vacancies nearby... on the off chance you should be interested. Not that your current residence doesn't have its... charm, but the sand does get everywhere, doesn't it?

Well, I know for a fact she prefers where we are. But I'll talk to her and see what I can do.

I'll invite her to stay with me for a night or two, see I I can't assist you in that regard.

....she screams, sometimes.

At night.

I'm sorry, I know this is a lot to deal with, we're just...we both have some problems? Anyway, she gets nightmares. So you don't need to worry. If that happens.

No one expects you not to have problems, Peeta. I've met Haymitch, remember? [And he won't mention he's seen the paintings and he'll force a smile into his voice.]

I'll take a few nightmares over having to clean my carpets everyday. Especially since I'd have to do it myself, apparently. There are some thing I'm deeply going to miss from home.

Someone used to clean your carpets for you?

...sorry, you're so normal. I forget you're from the Capitol.

I know, I'm one of those slothful and loathsome Capitol layabouts, I have someone to take care of everything. So disgraceful.

At least you have normal skin.

I think alterations are for the unoriginal.
