Warnings/Notes| N/A

With the new influx of Tributes, Jennifer has had her work cut out for her. There are so many files to memorize, so many new faces to welcome to the Capitol. It's time consuming, but she finds purpose in it, and playing welcoming committee chair is something she's rather good at. The task of putting a friendly, human face to the Capitol is difficult, but she's somehow thriving. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have so many wonderful stylists and escorts on her side for this.

And happily, she's found some recent success in terms of Tribute requests. By all accounts, Feferi's salt water shampoo campaign is a real hit, and Buddy Glass has reported his satisfaction with Junior Peacekeeper Terezi's role as a media assistant, and Justine Florbelle was apparently pleased with her medical intern, Joly. And Jennifer had just received the happy news that Albert and Jet would be allowed a special suite to share, one which would unite the second and third floors. Construction would soon be underway, and Jennifer was pleased to share the news with them. Little things like that mattered in the end. Happy Tributes meant happy viewers at home, and happy viewers meant a happy President. And that was the bottom line, wasn't it?

In spite of the work she had before her, Jennifer purposely kept open office hours to allow Tributes, mentors, and employees of the Tribute Center to visit her to petition for various requests. Everyone was welcome to see her, but Jennifer was cautious after the incident with Eponine and found she was more likely to call for Peacekeeper back up than ever before. The moment a situation seemed like it would get out of hand, she would press one of several alarms hidden around her office and alert the authorities that she was in distress. These alarms were a new addition to her office, but a necessary one. She wasn't going to risk being attacked by a Tribute again.

"We've have Tributes who've experienced exactly that. Gabriel, for example. Jason Todd is another. Pruna was a third. Beth Greene a fourth. All of those Tributes were killed in the Arenas and returned to their homes before coming back to Panem, and they retained all of the memories of here as well as of their home worlds." Jennifer spoke gently, but her words were firm nonetheless. "It's a tough pill to swallow, but I don't have any reason to deceive you. You're free to ask any of them for confirmation."

"And the ones which do not return?"

She is not satisfied, clearly. But while it may not be the fault of the woman before her, it will not change the fact Jennifer was the current face of the power which had forced them here. So some souls believed they had been returned for some time- it was certainly nothing a demon could not manage.

"I personally can't say what happens to them after the decision has been made not to revive them. But I can look into it, if you like." Jennifer didn't have the answers Cassandra was seeking, but she was sincere enough in her resolve to do her best. She might not always like her work, but she was committed to excelling at it.
