[ This log covers any non-work related shenanigans the Knights have while staying in New Orleans. Because we haven't finished out the other two logs yet, assume some time has passed since then, in case anyone was injured, so that they've had sufficient time to get better.

As for work stuff, you can assume they've been busy with establishing Finnick's fake rock star cred, and investigating some of the intel they'll uncover in those other logs that we haven't quite gotten to yet. JUST DON'T TALK ABOUT WORK and all will be well.

Make your own threads, don't fuss about tag order, feel free to threadjack multiple people into one thread for hang-outs, ask me if you want a certain scene with an NPC, etc. forever whatever.]

You're doing better than I would. [She approaches closer and leans on a nearby table.]

But I've never been much of a singer. [She smiles again.] We can hope that the act isn't needed long?

Hopefully. [He leans close to her, acting all playfully.] I'd like to hear you sing something, since you brought it up. You had to suffer through me, after all. It's only fair.

[She laughs, not at all put off by his playfulness. Myri has come out of her shell a great deal since her arrival a few months ago. Thank goodness.]

Fairness has nothing to do with it!

You're right, maybe I just want to hear you sing. [he pouts] Not even a little bit?

[She looks at him out of the corner of her eye while she thinks it over. Finally, she throws her arms up in exasperation, laughing.]

Alright! But only for a moment and only if you promise not to laugh. [She huffs, but is still smiling.

Once she begins to sing, it's evident that she's... not terrible. With a Charisma check of 15, she manages to sound fairly decent. The song is some old tavern number she's heard in different towns- something about the heroics of the Stargods from her world.]

[He listens to her sing with a dopey grin on his face. She reminds him so much of someone, but he can't remember who. At least, he thinks she reminds him of someone. Maybe?? Stupid veil amnesia shit.]

I can't believe you lied to me. [He shakes his head in ~disappointment~, although the act is ruined by him still smiling.]

I didn't! [But she's smiling too. And blushing.]

At least you look the part. I doubt I'll ever blend into this world well enough to play off anything.

I doubt you'd need to, for this sort of thing. Celebrities are supposed to be unique. You know, stand out.

Well, I certainly do that.

[She can laugh about it, though. Her elongated features and pale skin drew attention to her even in her own world.]

How long will you need to pretend?

Can't tell. Until this mission is over, probably.

Hmm... [She seems to be thinking it over.] I never realized that saying we all had a part to play would be literal in some cases.

Neither did I. But our group had a role that needed filling, and I met the requirements, so ... [he gestures around them as if to say "and here we are."]

I think it suits you well. And would appear to hold minimal chance for physical harm, which is wonderful.

I can only worry about so many people at once, after all.

You worry about me? [the idea that she meant it because he's part of their group doesn't really register to him (not initially, anyway), because he's used to things being all ~every man for himself~. such is the way of the hunger games.]

Of course.

[And the sentiment could not be more genuine. The idea of not being concerned for her teammates is really foreign to her. Even though she's been on her own for as long as she can remember, Myri has a bad habit of being emotionally invested in everyone she meets.]

Well, let me assure you, there won't be anything to worry about. I'm more than capable of taking care of myself.

Everyone says that. [She tosses back with a smile.]

But I'd appreciate it if you stayed in on piece, just the same.

Want me to promise it to you?

[She tilts her head slightly.]

Perhaps. It seems foolish, doesn't it?

Not at all. [he takes one of her hands in both of his and begins, very sincerely,] Myri, I promise you that I'll make it through this mission in one piece.

[She looks down at her hand, then back up at him, a soft smile painting her face.]

May the Stargods watch over you and keep you safe.

[Her free hand covers his.]

Thank you.

[he kisses her top hand lightly before pulling his hands out of their hand-tangle.] It's nothing. Maybe you should promise the same to me, huh? It'd be awful if something happened to you.

[A rush of warmth creeps to her cheeks as his lips touch the back of her hand. It's not like she's never been near a man before. There have been others, but none of them ever paid her much attention.]

I'm the healer, remember? But I promise you- I'll return safe and sound.

Better safe than sorry, don't you think?

[She laughs a little.]

Now you sound like me. Are you worried for me, then?
