sleep over

Who| Cinna and limited OPEN
What| Cinna invites people to sleep over at his home.
Where| Cinna's little two bedroom apartment.
When| The first night after District 12 Suite's destruction.
Warnings/Notes| None yet.


Cinna still lived in the apartment he had grown up in. His mother had passed away and he had taken it over. It was safe compared to other places in the Capitol. He had a decent income as a Stylist, but he spent most of it paying off the debt that had gotten him through school and purchasing materials. His furniture and electronics were a little more modern, having been upgraded from the things his mother had had a few years ago, but it was mostly covered by fabric rolls and sketch books. It wasn't really a "mess" so much as cluttered with ideas, much like his mind could be at times.

The small apartment had two bedrooms, one that had been converted to a work room. The items that had originally been designated from the work room had spilled over into the rest of the apartment. There were sketches on the walls of each of the District 12 Tributes and a variety of designs he had in mind for them. There were pieces of fabric and little inventions that would help him bring life to his work.

When he opened the room for the Tributes he frowned a bit. "I'm sorry for the mess," he commented before moving some of the items into his work room to clear enough floor space for them to sleep. He cleared off the couch and managed to get the space to look half-way decent.

Once that was done he smiled at them all and offered to get something to drink.

"Oh! Well, my mother was an escort. So, for me I just followed in her foot steps."

She was clearly pleased to be talking about a subject she cared about.

"Which isn't to say I got this job through my mother. I just knew the right steps to take. It requires some schooling. The job requires being a delicate diplomat, of course, as well as a cheerleader, a social manager..."

It was easy to see she enjoyed the topic, and considering he knew nothing about it, he figured it was safe to just keep asking her questions.

"So somewhere in the Capitol, there's actually a school for Escorts? That's cute. How long do you have to go for?"

"Well, cute isn't exactly the word. And it's not just for escorts. It's a college for all careers, there is just a program specifically for those who work with the Districts. It is a lot of political studies, and history..."

Effie had enjoyed her studying, immensely, and it showed.

"Really," he started off, somewhat sceptically before the idea of it actually sank in. He almost liked that. In a way. "What else do they offer, then?"
mannersmatter: (Judging you. And drinking also.)

"In this area?" She circled her finger to indicate escorts and the like. "Or altogether?"
mudbloodhater: (this is what we call happy)

"Altogether. Or at all." Draco shifted, cracking a brief smirk. "We don't have anything like that back home; I'm sort of curious."

"Well, I shared classes with anyone who was going to be working with the Districts. Stylist, those who actually work in the Districts, that sort of thing. We all had our separate classes as well. But...the school really teach most things."

She wrinkled her nose a bit.

"And of course there are technical schools, for more...hands of training."

"So in addition to your classes for...Escorting, Styling, et cetera-" he fluttered one hand. "-you had things like maths, and English?"

"Well, most of us had covered those by the time we got to college." She said with tight smile. "Unless your area of study called for it in higher levels..."
mudbloodhater: (what da fuq)

"What did you do before college, then?" Draco questioned, pursing his mouth a little. Their schooling system seemed to have quite a few more levels than his did; it was getting terribly complicated.
