OPEN ♔ I WISH I COULD SAY IN JUST ONE SWEEP WHAT YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME

WHO || Anyone and everyone! [OPEN]
WHAT || Francesca's birthday party
WHERE || One of the big parlor rooms on the castle's second floor.
WHEN || [Backdated] July 11, Evening
HOW || Actionspam

[Earlier in the week all DRAKENET devices received a message announcing Francesca's birthday party, courtesy of Sir Bancroft, to be held the evening of July 11. No RSVP needed. It's especially good timing now that many mission groups have returned to the castle, at least for the time being.

As the guests make their way in, it's clear the party's been well stocked with food and drink. There's plenty of room for mingling and some music in the background. Gifts are completely optional, but welcome. Come in and get comfortable.]

Couldn't have said it better myself. [and he means it. he would do the same, really. and has. does. act like it's all okay around other people, save the crying and moping for when no one else is looking. finnick odair can't be anything less than perfect. a living legend. it's shaping up to not be much different here.]

Gladly. [he rearranges his arm to be around her waist, and tries to dance. and with an abysmal dexterity check of 8, i really do mean tries. there's a lot on his mind, okay. and myri makes him feel jittery inside like a high schooler boy. as he accidentally steps on her foot (again), he chuckles a little and tries to stay good-natured about it.]

I don't know what's wrong with me tonight.

[This two are kinda moronic for each other, because Myri's dex check of 6 total means she is doing Finnick no favors by trying to help him. She trips, stumbling against his chest and probably causing them both to fall back a few steps.]

Whatever it is... [She says, blushing deeply] It seems I've caught it. [She stops and stands perfectly still, looking up at him and trying not to laugh.] Do we dare to try again?

Do you think it's safe?

[after asking, he does try again ... and gets a natural 20 seriously what the fuck. oh well. i guess he was just warming up before and now he can properly ~dazzle~ her. just like edward cullen.]

With you? I can never be sure. [But oh... those moves. She follows his lead, and things go much smoother this time!]

Hmm... so far, so good.

All that practicing is finally paying off. Now my voice just needs to follow suit. [so humble, this one.]

Careful, or I'll demand a song next. And from what I remember, your voice was perfectly fine.

I think I can wait to serenade you another time. Wouldn't want the rest of the party getting jealous.

Oh, no... We can't have that.

[She laughs for a few moments more.]

You're still pretending to be a musician, aren't you? How's that been?

It's been going well. I might just be a little bit famous, actually.

Are you really? Well I've only been to one concert, but I hope I do get to see yours.

I'll make sure you get a front row seat.

You may want to rethink that. [She chuckles.] The last concert I went to, I climbed up on stage and nearly ruined everything.

I bet you improved more than you ruined. It adds to the excitement of it all.

It was certainly... exhilarating. All those bright lights and people watching.

[She looks at him curiously.]

Do you enjoy that sort of thing?

Performing? What can I say, I've always been a little attention-starved.

[She looks at him curiously.]

We are very different, I think.

[he's not telling her the whole truth -- that it was all he wanted when he was a child, then he won the hunger games and discovered just how horrible it really was. but it's hard for him to talk about, and definitely not party conversation material.]

Are we? The attention isn't all it's cracked up to be. I think I'd rather be you sometimes.

[Oh, Finnick... why you such a liar? Myri frowns slightly.]

I suppose you can't be right now. Not with the mission set up like it is. You don't have much of a choice.

I couldn't at home, either. Not that I can remember. I wanted the attention when I was younger, like I said, but that doesn't mean I never grew tired of it.

It won't be forever. We'll untangle you from it once we've found out all we can about Nova.

How do you think that will happen? I imagine we might stage my untimely death.

Something elaborate and dramatic, I hope. [She manages a smile at that.]

I refuse to go out any other way. [he smiles back. joking about these things comes a little too easily to him.]

[For now, she isn't bothered by it.]

I'm certain Wynn has something in mind. But if not, I'll do what I can to assist in your unfortunate demise.

Oh? You're much too charming to be a murderer. But then, I suppose some of the best murderers are.
