WHO | Everyone
WHAT | Baron sends Valentine's Day gifts to Tribute Tower.
WHEN | Valentine's Day!
WHERE | Tribute Tower
WARNINGS / NOTES | Warnings for drug use and all of the things that go with that. Possibly also sexual themes. The OOC post for this is here.




On the morning of February 14th when the Tributes come down for breakfast they're greeted by an impressive holiday themed spread. Pink and red baked goods, chocolates shaped like hearts, beautiful red and pink flowers, adorable stuffed animals all line the table.

On the table is also a sign in cursive that reads:

To our beloved Tributes, Victors, Mentors, Escorts and Stylists. Enjoy your holiday. -- Bartlett Industries

Most of the sweets are completely harmless, but if the Tributes taste the chocolate covered cherries or caramels they find themselves suddenly acting very strangely...

Howard's hiding in a closet when Glinda comes across him. The events of the last arena has stoked a love of dark places and tight corners in him, made him afraid of open space, antsy when surrounded by people. He's afraid to stay in his suite with Alpha around, afraid to be in the Capitol near all the screens, and as such he's found a closet in the tribute center to hide out with the brooms and cleaning products.

He gives a little yelp when Glinda opens the door, singing. "Jeez, knock first much?"

Glinda herself yelps, voice hitching half way through her little song about how shiny and beautiful her shoes were. She felt so very happy having these beautiful shoes. She should have given Nessa some pink shoes like these. She might've been a good witch if she had of.

She blinked at him.

And blinked at him again.

And then burst into gales of laughter, practically bent double with how hard she was laughing. It was hurting her stomach. "W-W-Why're you in a closet?" She laughed, finding it hilarious.

Howard scowls at her. Obviously he wouldn't willing be in a closet, except that everywhere else right now seems a much worse alternative. People being noisy, him constantly having to look over his shoulder.

"I don't know, why are you dressed like a store-bought cupcake?" He stands up, avoiding getting brained by a mop that's falling over onto him.

Glinda looked down.

Then giggled loudly. "Ozma in ice. I do look like a cupcake! That is hilariful." She pointed her toes and swished her skirt slightly. It was very pink. "They told me it was for the Valentine whatdyoucallitthingy." She answered him. "But I have no idea what that means." She whispered.

Howard gives her a most skeptical look. Aside from the fact that plenty of those words were nonsense, she seems to have taken his insult in stride, and is whispering random nothings to him as if they're sharing a secret.

"Are you high or something?" Howard's met drug addicts before and they haven't always behaved much differently, although given the FAYZ's circumstances they were always less...bubbly.

Glinda had no idea what that meant. She looked up and down to check she wasn't floating - for a witch it was a valid concern. "No." She shook her head in confusion. "I'm on the ground. Look." She pointed at her sparkly shoes. "Not high at all. Quismall really."

High as a balloon.

"That's not what I asked." He shoves the mop away and steps out of the closet, glancing over his shoulder and beyond Glinda. "Are you, like, on drugs? Or did you eat something funny?"

Or are you just bonkers? goes unspoken. He doesn't look terribly amused at her sparkly shoes.
