We'll have you, washed and dried.
Who: Azula and anyone in the Capitol
What: After a "Noble" death in the arena Azula is indulging herself.
Where: The Training Center, The Spa, A restaurant and a bar.
When: Week 6 of the Arena, a day after her death.
Notes: Pill popping, some alcohol, and it's Azula so she'll probably be terrible in one way or another.
It was...an honorable death.
That was what she was spinning it as anyway. The escort was under threat of pain and suffering that she was to ensure that the Capitol citizens understood that Azula's sacrifice had been out of the goodness of her heart.
And because of it, Diana would survive at least another day in the arena. Now alone with all their supplies and the ocean at her back.
And what of her other tributes? Some remained. Azula wasn't surprised to see Shepherd was still putting up a good fight, but it amazed her how Enjolras was still alive.
Well that was the nature of the games wasn't it? All the skill in the world and sometimes it all came down to luck.
Either way she was free of it now, and bitter at the game makers who would dare to put her there. But that bitterness was easier to swallow once she was reunited with her precious Morphling pills.
And so the "Princess" from district five returned to life in the Capitol as if it was all part of the games. She appeared for interviews. She expressed excitement that her tributes were still fighting on.
And she smiled quietly to herself when she saw other tributes still suffering and dieing.

The City: The Ember Island Day Spa
Or sometimes replace them.
The Spa was very popular for it's "New You" services which provided Hair and skin coloring, radical body modification and even some philosophical classes if you felt even your mind and spirit needed to relax.
Of course, Azula knew it was impossible to improve on perfection. Any sort of radical modifications to her body would be temporary at best and either by her whims, or for the sake of a party. One must keep up to date on current trends after all. And it seemed the latest trends involved tattoos and more primal primitive looks.
Every time Azula spotted someone embracing the style she thought back to the new tribute in the arena and felt a burn of satisfaction clashing with a sizzle of bile in her belly. She wanted him to suffer for not respecting her right to kill him. Twice!
But that was in the arena. Not here...not at the spa. No here the nervous workers were doing their best to maintain a cool and calm demeanor as they personally washed and groomed Azula from head to toe. Pampering her the way she always felt she deserved.
This was what she had been missing all those weeks. Respect! Beauty!
Peace of mind.
