You make me smile with my heart

Who| Everyone in the Capitol is welcome
What| Swann is way into holidays. Like... very into them.
Where| Central Commons aka the lobby
When| VALENTINE'S DAY
Warnings/Notes| Swann being Swann, you will be forcibly loved

Swann looks significantly better than she has over the past two weeks, when she was practically gaunt with exhaustion and not eating well. But now, she looks as happy and glowing as she did the first day she walked into Tribute Tower -- her skin is porcelain and perfect and devoid of lines and dark circles. Her hair falls in perfect curls around her face, a heart braided into the back of her head.

And she's perfectly perky again, as if she never stopped being a chirping ball of sunshine.

This is because she's spent the past three days "working from home". While her Tributes in the Arena have never gone without, it is very clear that she was working on... well, not Games work, really.

There's a table of sweets and decorations, all beautiful and immaculate and homemade. Hanging from the ceilings are little handcrafted packets of sweets. They're free for the taking, as Swann flutters around, all smiles and mingling, chatting up the few media members and fans around.

Sometimes a girl just needs to spend some time baking and doing crafts.

From a district whose Escorts don't let you indulge (ahem One and Two, and also poor Seven)? No worries. This morning, every District received a large basket of fresh, homemade chocolate covered strawberries and cake pops, along with little individually addressed cards, reminiscent of the ones children give out in school.

Except fancier and more glittery and signed with a swirly S.H.

Come and get you some Valentine's Day, people.

It's the weekend, there's no school, and mom has given Felicity something very important to do. With an subtle wink, she said that someone had to go and take Uncle Torin the hat that he had forgotten when he had stopped by the previous evening. It would be such an imposition, but surely she could trust her darling girl to do it?

Pfffff, this wasn't an imposition, this was an opportunity. A chance to get up close and personal with some Tributes and to see how they are in their downtime and to research. It's very important to research when you're writing things. Though from the moment she passes security and walks into the central commons, she's too boggled to really be observing very much.

"Woah..." That much pastel confectionery is like a magnet to a teenaged girl with an impossible sweet tooth. Eyes wide, she scoots on over and hovers at the edge of the table, fingers arched and ready to grasp at things, but not sure if she should be grasping at them.

If there's wariness there, Felicity is not picking up on it. For there are sweets, and those should keep her distracted from doing something high-pitched and embarrassing in front of whatever stray Tribute might happen to wander along. For now.

"Really? Really?! Aaaah, that's great! Thank you! Wow, everything looks so good..." She immediately snatches up a cupcake with pastel green frosting, and starts peeling the wrapper away. Before she can take a big bite, though, she does remember that she's here for a reason....

"Oh, oh, have you seen Torin Byrd around? One of the District 2 mentors? I've, I've got something for him."

Jason doesn't even realize it's Valentine's Day until a few hours in, when Lorraine sends him a flurry of scandalous texts that he reads, appreciates, and instantly deletes without responding to. He uses that as a springboard to add some seasonal flair to the thank you notes he has to send to Sponsors, to the ones he knows are happily married, recommendations for restaurants he can't afford to eat at but can sing the praises of.

After he's done that, he allows himself to go gather some sweets from the basket. He's always had a bit of a fondness for candy, even if he restricts the intake now to keep his figure. He takes a cakepop and a handful of strawberries and goes to sit at the living room couch with his network device.

He sends Swann a text. S.H. - no Marisol?

if i were using my full name it would be JBRC4

He considers adding an emoticon to that, but decides that's something for people much more ebullient than he considers himself. Swann will pick up on the tone, he trusts. She knows him better than just about anyone here.

He finishes off the cake pop and puts in an order on his pad for more food for each of his Tributes. It won't arrive until later today, and against his better fortune he hopes that one of his Tributes will die before then so he can use the money on something else. Keeping six alive in the Arena is a task. The budget's straining and whimpering like wet wood in a cold snap.

Mother always told me sending thank you texts was rude. come to d7

"Holy..." Well Leo was impressed at Swann's devotion to the holidays, eyes widened at all the goodies she'd set up for the guests and the decorations. The level of commitment to make the sickly-sweet holiday was something to behold. The baskets full of sweets and-really? The basket of strawberries and cake pops are what prompted the coach to come down and see it all. Swann was getting to Jennifer Blackwood's level of work.

"I respect your style, Honeymead, I really do," Cora joked around and raised his bottle of water as an impromptu toast to her and to Marcel the tiny Cupid dog. Sure it was overwhelming at first, and it wasn't his cup of tea, but he had to give credit where credit was due.

"I may need a refill on the strawberries, if that's enough of a compliment for you. They were exquisite," Leonidas said without batting an eye, "You've truly outdone yourself this time around. Even Marcel agrees with you!" Dogs were one of his weaknesses, be them big or small. "May I pet him?" he asked before doing anything.

He knew she was working herself ragged at times, and something with Jason Compson set her off to a frenzy so he inquired, "Are you okay?"

[personal profile] fuckingcool 2015-02-14 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
As a rule, Oceana doesn't generally do Valentine's Day. It's always been for people who do the whole romance thing, which she hasn't done in a long time. Short-term flings? Fuck, yeah. Not so much with the whole relationship bit. But that's different this year; Oceana's gotten back together with her old flame Holly, and she finds herself weirdly jazzed for Valentine's Day. Maybe it's because she actually has a reason to celebrate; maybe love really is in the air.

Or maybe it's because someone's thrown a party and there's free food.

Dressed in a red sequin minidress with a pale pink, curly wig and matching lipstick, Oceana meanders toward the party's hostess, already carrying a plate full of macarons and cupcakes. "Hey, girl," she chirps in her girl-voice, grinning blithely. "Cute party. You do this all by yourself?"

[personal profile] fuckingcool 2015-02-16 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oceana grins down at the petite escort, and the queen has to stop herself from cooing over how cute she is. So she merely reaches down to hold Swann's hands in hers, giving her a squeeze.

"Thank you, baby, that's so sweet of you. Compliment me enough and I'll tell you where I bought it." She winks, several times, exaggeratedly, before letting go. "You and me almost match, that's fucking adorable."

When Emily sees the sweets and cakes and intricate decorations, she looks around expecting to see an army of Avoxes tending to the decor and ensuring everything is perfect. Instead there's just Swann, and to say she's impressed that she's pulled this off on her own is an understatement.

"You did all this? It's wonderful."

"Between us, I'd say that because the Arena's on is an even better reason." She certainly needed distraction herself, and it was nice to see it not only put into something productive, but something for everyone to enjoy.

Megan happens to be one of the unfortunate Tributes whose mentors and escort won't let her indulge in desserts, which totally sucks since she loves sweets and loves Valentine's Day even more than that! She kind of has to, doesn't she? One can't look like cotton candy come to life and not like chocolates and flowers and all things lovey-dovey.

Needless to say, she's quite taken in by the decor of the lobby, letting out a dreamy sigh as she exits the elevator and takes it all in.

"I've died and gone to Candyland heaven."

Wideeyed, she walks toward the plate of cookies, which seems to be calling her name in a soft, insistent voice. Gingerly, she plucks one up off the plate. "You set this whole thing up for the Tributes? Even the ones that aren't yours?"
