[ Effie said to make himself presentable, so here he is, freshly showered and clean. So fresh, in fact, that his hair is still wet and dripping onto the same shirt he was wearing yesterday ( possibly the day before that too, but who's keeping count? Not Haymitch! ). He smiles, so very pleasantly. ]

A dear friend of mine told me to announce my presence and make some new friends, and I thought to myself, now, Haymitch, that is a great idea. We've all been kidnapped to fight the same war with our feelings, maybe I should make some friends.

[ He spreads his arms wide with a warm grin. ]

So what do you say, gang? Hug it out before we all die bloody?

[ There's an indignant screech from somewhere offscreen, and Effie shouts; ]

Haymitch!

[ To which, he just laughs and holds up his hands in surrender while she comes and slaps off the feed before he can do anything else horrible. ]

[ ooc; so friends wow what a cheerful. check out this here opt-out post if you'd like to avoid spoilers for Mockingjay and/or avoid the more fun ( read as: terrible ) parts of THG universe! ]

I must have assumed he was lost in a bar.

[PAINFULLY ENDEARING SMILE hahaha shoot her.]

[You have two assholes annoying you now Effie, ISN'T THIS YOUR LUCKY DAY?]

I honestly wouldn't blame him if he was.

He is a --

That is rude.

One thing you'll learn about this place is that it's weary on the nerves. I wouldn't blame him for getting a head start.

[whereas Turlough is just blatantly ignoring the fact that he kind of insulted Effie, whoops.]

He does not need a head start.

Well why not? There's nothing wrong with one.

He's already running into end tables.

[Mournfully.]

[aaand Turlough's laughing here.]

Good for him!

You don't need to deal with him on a daily basis.

Who knows, that might change.

[She stares for a slight moment before she sighs, speaking mournfully.]

The odds are never in my favor.

How optimistic of you. [saaaaarcasm.]

You would agree with me if you knew Haymitch half as well as I do.

Enlighten the ignorant, then: what's he like?

[aka 'let's be gossippy bitches.']

[Effie considers that for a moment before she elects to seize the opportunity for precisely what it is.

An opportunity to take a dig at Haymitch Abernathy.]

In my years of working with Haymitch Abernathy, I've been threatened, slashed at with knives, had things thrown at me, sworn at, insulted, mocked, and I'm fairly certain the only reason why I'm not dead is because he's too drunk to throw properly.

[She thinks that's a pretty good synopsis of Haymitch -- but no, she thinks she should keep going.]

It isn't enough that he's a drunk that can and will ingest anything with an alcohol content above 15% within a radius of fifteen miles -- no, in addition to that, he's positively the most miserable person to be around. Hearing a compliment from Haymitch Abernathy is like hearing a mockingjay that can't carry a tune -- it isn't going to happen unless you wish really hard.

[Once she's done with that, though, Effie considers something for a moment.]

-- that being said, he's a very good person to have on your side once you learn to accept that working with him goes hand in hand with vomit.

[He listens to all of that, nodding slightly to show that he's paid attention.]

He sounds...difficult, to put it mildly. Still, I suppose you don't have to interact with him here unless you want to.

I see him a few weeks out of the year, beginning with the reaping and ending with the train ride back to District 12.

Enlighten the ignorant, what's a "District" in your world? Is it like a country?

No -- Panem is the country, split into twelve districts that are ruled over by the Capitol. Each District has a specific purpose to serve the needs of Panem and the Capitol -- District 12, for example, provides coal. District 7, lumber, District 4, fishing, District 3, technology -- so on and so fourth.

That seems...efficient. [what he wants to say is that it seems like needless specialization, but he's not THAT mean as to say it to Effie's face.]

It's worked magnificently for the past seventy-four years, so -- I would say so.

[And it worked before that, too, until the rebellion. But everything has been pretty fine since then.]
