[Katniss is wearing short sleeves today, so the burn scars and grafted skin up her arms and neck are more visible. She seems almost awkward, aware that she hasn't shown her face on this thing lately, and that she has no idea what she's doing.]

I'm going to show people how to deal with rations. At the...community centre. It's here. [She gives an address in the Earth Sector] If people care, that is. [She shoves a hand back through her hair.] It's not that hard to figure out, but if you run out of food before you can buy more, you'll regret it.

Will you teach me your secrets, Katniss? [:3c]

[If she was more of a dick, she'd say something about not paying his usual price] They don't teach your how to go hungry at career school?

[insecrets]

[Breaking his heart, really.] Careers don't go hungry. [Silly girl.]

Everybody is getting ready for swimsuit season early [He's trying to be positive, see?]

What? [It takes her a couple of seconds, and then she makes a face]

In the Capitol they would eat until they were full, and then drink something that made them throw up so they could eat more.

[zerotoawesome]

What? [That is not at all where he expected this conversation to go.]

That's... Yeah, where I'm from, we call that an eating disorder. Does everybody there have dentures too? You know, for after they ruin all of their teeth that way?

[fotia]

[Leo shouldn't be staring. But he is staring. Because dude, that scarring. Dude.]

Yeah, off-topic, but what the heck just happened to you?

[effective]

[She's going to stare back, because she's a jackass]

Why do I look like I was set on fire, you mean?

[fotia]

Well, yeah. I mean, I'd assume something about being too smokin' hot for your own good, but that doesn't usually make people go up in flames.

I might show up. I've lived on what I can carry before when travelling, but I don't actually know how to cook anything that takes more time and effort than over an open fire after a day of walking. I have a feeling I'll get more out of it if I can actually use the kitchen in my apartment.

A shame the mold growing here isn't edible. Or if it is, I'm not going to risk poisoning myself to find out. Someone else can do that experiment.

[audio]

[effective]

I'm not giving cooking lessons. Just how to...spread out rations and not starve. What you can do with them.

[There's a pause] I can have a look at it, but I doubt it.

[Don't mind that hooded guy not so discretely eyeing those burns, Katniss.

Eventually he seems to overcome his tongue-tiedness and speaks.]

If you have any practice with snares, perhaps you could try teaching them that as well.

[effective]

[He notices. Her lips twist into a humourless smile, and she holds her arms out so he can get a closer look]

I...do. But there aren't enough animals for everyone to hunt, here. We'll be worse off if they all get wiped out.

[andaway]

This is very nice of you to offer. Have you had to deal with rationing a lot?

[She's just so young...]

[effective]

I had to deal with starving. It's almost the same, except no one gives you food.

[district7]

When did you become a teacher?

[effective]

Some of us like being useful. [Aka she had literally nothing else to do]

[thetyrant]

[The crisis in Logan's country never actually came down as far as rationing food, so he's on unfamiliar ground here.]

That is kind of you.

[effective]

[N-no she's not kind she's just practical or something okay!!] I didn't have anything else to do.

[sophos]

That's not a bad idea. Pretty sure there are a good number of people here who aren't used to food limitations.

[effective]

[It takes Katniss a moment or two to respond, a mixture of not recognising the face on her screen, and getting over a PTSD flashback the blonde hair brings on]

I noticed. [Her tone is dry.] If people don't show up the first week, they will the second, I guess.

[cynisme]

Christ, you're uglier than I am. [that would be the beginnings of a withdrawal rearing its hideous head, making Grantaire extra special mean. Sorry Katniss.]

[effective]

[Katniss' lips draw back from her face that might be a smile or might be a snarl] And they told me it saved my face.

Enjoy starving.
