Parker's been redecorating. Considering she can't climb buildings, or steal things (well, a few things from the bitch with the bubbles's room have gone missing) Parker's got one avenue left, art. Usually, her drawings are realistic, without passion. This time, she's gone through many, many different versions trying to make her subjects look as ridiculous as possible.

The bitch with the bubbles has too many matchy-matchy things. (Well, not so much anymore.) The sponsor who is not as intelligent as the seagulls from that movie about finding a fish, cares about appearances too.

It took 37 different pieces of paper, and 3 pencils, sharpened down to nubs, to make them look this horrible. The final pieces are on display, tacked to a focal wall in the suite.




The artist is nearby.

"So," Parker's going to try and set this straight. "The more I die, the more money he loses?"

Parker understands the love of money. She also spots a flaw.

"If if costs so much, what sort of friend makes him lose it?"

[vissernone]

"Because he knows it's important to me that you don't all end up dead, and he cares enough to help me achieve that end."

[whosalicewhite]

"So you like seeing us die over and over again, and he helps you?"

There's only one conclusion to draw.

"You're crazier than me."

[vissernone]

Eva's lip twitches. "And you're an idiot. If you're that intent on dying permanently, please, feel free to go ahead and do so. I won't stop you from hanging yourself in your bedroom. But I won't allow you to make that decision for the rest of my charges."

There's only one way where people can be crazier than her, in Parker's head.

"You'd like that. Seeing me dead."

Doesn't mean she's off to hang herself. For everything Eva thinks, Parker's a survivor, even if surviving means having others die in her place.

Parker's silent, thinking of what Sophie would say. No, that's wrong, Sophie would smooth this over and come out as a favourite, with new shoes. She's not Sophie. She's Parker, and it's about time she stopped trying to act like everyone else.

"Probably like everyone dead, long as they get you new tributes to play with. Met dictators more human." What is the most offensive thing she could say, something that always gets people upset. "You get off on that?"

Yeah, that's it.
