[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.]

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

[She looks at him curiously.]

Do you enjoy that sort of thing?

[65]

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

[witchwoman]

[She looks at him curiously.]

We are very different, I think.

[65]

[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.

[witchwoman]

[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.

[65]

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.

[witchwoman]

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

[65]

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

[witchwoman]

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

[65]

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

[witchwoman]

[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.

[65]

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

[witchwoman]

Exactly. Who would suspect me? [She's doing a bad job at holding back her laughter.]

[65]

It would have to be someone absolutely mad. [he's just gonna keep going with his charmingness.]
