Who| Cinna and the District 12 Tributes and Mentors (Effie can come too, if she wants. After the fittings anyway).
What| It's time for a new theme for District 12's style. Cinna meets with the Tributes under his care and interacts with the ones who are under Portia's to go through the fitting of their Crowning attire. This is the start of a drastic change for District 12's look.
Where| Styling area of Tribue Tower, fitting rooms.
When| After the Arena ends, with enough days between then and now to give Tributes time to recover, but not too close to the next Crowning.
Warnings/Notes| None at the moment.
Cinna was moving away from the idea that his Style needed to be inspired by the District. He still loved the fire theme, and would work that into grand entrances as much as possible, but for simple events he had a different theme in mind.
Shortly after Katniss and Peeta had both survived the Arena, the mockingjay had become a fashion statement. Capitol citizens would work it into their accessories and fashion so easily, not knowing what the symbol meant to the revolution. What Katniss had meant to the revolution.
Sometimes it felt like all of that was over, and it had driven Cinna into a bit of seclusion. Now he was done with that. Katniss was still the Mockingjay, and always would be in his eyes (whether or not she liked it), but there were other Tributes too. As well as other birds.
The fashions for each of the Tributes were inspired by different birds and presented in a sharp, sleek way that made each design aggressive in a way he hadn't played with yet. Gone were his attempts to make The Singless more approachable, to make Pruna into a sweet, little girl, to make Sandy that girl next door. He was done with all of that.
These people had been dragged into his world to be made to fight. The least he could do was make them look like warriors.

Cinna put his hands on the Singless's arms, to show that he understood how difficult this all could be. "Please don't worry about asking me questions," he said. "There may be some things I can't tell you, but asking is never a bad thing."
He felt terrible about all of this, and for a moment it showed in his face. He seemed tired, and worn, but he hid it quickly enough. "It's all about putting on a show," he said. "You need to put on the best possible show."

It was probably the most obviously anti-Capitol thing he'd said since he got back from the arena or would say until the next, but Cinna was one of the few people he trusted not to care. Or at least not to tattle.
"You'll understand if I'm not really excited about doing anything for them."
He wasn't really familiar with the districts, after all. What he knew of those who were paying attention to whatever show he'd be putting on was solely what he'd experienced in the Capitol.
