Welcome to the 4th Annual Hunger Games
[Hey, Paradisa! There’s a teenage boy in your lobby. He’s wished up an easel, some canvases, and some paint. Peeta is sitting at the easel, working on something. Propped against walls are paintings he’s done since he’s gotten here. They’re surprisingly detailed and good, and mostly focus on a certain moment in time and on little things.
There’s one where two hands are meeting, one of the hands with blood around the nails. There’s one of a girl leaning over a box, her red hair obscuring her face. Another one has a girl with dark hair in it, and she’s holding a stick out defensively. One is of a handsome man, his face dark and his hand hovering near an untouched piece of cake. Another is of a girl with a fork in her mouth and a little smile on her face. There’s one last one, but it’s thrown off to the side and the paint is still wet. It’s a hand, covered in blood and holding a knife.
Peeta is working on another one. He’s been getting a lot of paintings done, but that made sense. He painted in the day, whenever he was bored, and when the nightmares came. But he wanted to share his work, so he came out to the lobby. His current painting is of a hard, olive-skinned hand holding an arrow in a bow, dirt and blood painted across the hand.
The journal is set up beside him so he can speak to anyone without getting it messy. But, for fun, he dips his finger in green paint and paints a smiley face right on a page of the journal.]
I hope people don’t mind that I’ve painted them.
[ooc: Open over the journals or in person!
To clarify, I will say which paintings are of whom. The hands meeting is Nora. The red hair is Dairine. The dark hair with the stick is Alex. The handsome man is Bucky. The girl with the fork in her mouth is Uru. And you’ll have to ask him about the other two! Also, if your character wants their painting, just ask!]

and something else, in the hand on the bow. determination, he decides.
in all of these paintings - so real, so human - he's acutely reminded of Jilly, and her own talent to capture the human spirit. these images are so very different ... but the heart of them is the same. he sees the same care and insight in this painter's hand as he did in hers - and in that moment, he decides he MUST get to know this young man, no matter how selfish an impulse it may be at heart. when he speaks up, his tone is friendly but quiet, carefully crafted not to startle]
You're quite good.

Really? Thank you! I'm Peeta Mellark.I'd shake your hand, but...
[He holds out a colorful hand, wet with paint.]

It has been some time since he's seen anyone painting, and while not a skill he's any good at (he's a musician, nothing more, unless it's basic scientific and technical sketches), he can appreciate it. Which is why he ignores Toby as the dog wanders over to investigate the still wet painting (paint on white fur, he's going to hate that later), to look more at the paintings closer to Peeta.]
A hobby you have had for some time I take it? [He turns to Peeta with a smile, letting Toby go for the moment to investigate the painting.]
