[Hello, City, have Katniss looking very intent. She looks somewhat more cheerful than her last few posts have warranted, mainly due to at least one recent arrival.]

I haven't been able to find any good bread here. Not like we have at home. [For just a moment, that mask drops and she looks slightly wistful.]

But I want some, for my sister and I. Does anyone know where I could find any?

Wait, did you say "sister?" [Beat.] What'd I miss, besides the obvious?

My little sister got here last week. Prim. I think I told you about her.

[incywincyhero]

You sure did. How's she holding up?

[catnipped]

Alright, I think. ....She likes Jasper.

You know, from what you've told me about her, that doesn't surprise me at all.

Where are you both staying right now?

...Uh. The same place I was staying with Haymitch. [Otherwise known as the tiniest, crappiest apartment in the land.]

[AWKWARD PAUSE.] Uh, you know, if you guys need a little more space ... I might be able to hook you up. Pretty small apartment for two girls and a cat. ['Cause, you know, it shrank when Haymitch left.]

[There's a bit of a fidget. She has been wanting somewhere better for Prim to stay.]

...What would I owe you?

Nothing. I mean, the place I'm thinking of -- it's a house rented by a friend of mine, an imPort I know from back home. Technically it's three separate apartments, and one's entirely empty after some people got ported out, so there's plenty of room, and I think you'd be welcome. There are four other residents besides him and they're all about your age except for one who's closer to Prim's.

You'd have to chip in a little on rent and maybe help with some basic chores, but that's it.

....Oh. Well. I'll ask Prim. But I ....don't have a problem with it.

There's no, you know, don't feel obligated to say yes if you don't want to. You should probably meet up with him and maybe the other kids and talk it over before making any decisions, anyway.

[catnipped]

You're probably right. But I'll definitely think about it.

Tell you what -- I'll give you his contact info and let him know you might be calling, all right? His name's Peter Parker, and his comm number's [number].

[There's a small smile.] Thanks a lot.

[incywincyhero]

No problem, kiddo. Lemme know how it works out.

[catnipped]

I will.
