Second Drink

[Haymitch has finally decided that maybe, maybe, Peeta isn't crazy and they really are living in a magical castle with people from other worlds. Maybe. Of course, that doesn't mean he's not on his guard. Even if this is what people say, it doesn't mean Snow or any of his Capitol stooges couldn't show up and ruin everything. Given what Finnick told him about the future...well. Better to be safe than sorry.

And Haymitch was prepared to keep those kids safe rather than sorry at any cost.

And so, he's sitting in the Lux, occasionally glancing at the drink of whiskey he can't have until someone hands it to him, flicking through his journal pages. Eventually, he deigns to talk
]

Okay. So let's say I'm more willing to buy this magical castle idea. I want to know more about it. What makes it tick. Some of you have been here for years, apparently, you must have learned something in all that time.

I'm sitting in the Lux, if you'd like to play sharetime. We can have a drink, learn a thing or two. It'll be fun.

[Now THAT is a neat trick.]

Just with alcohol? Or is it the glass itself? [Because she's got a box of straws.]

[personal profile] huntersdaughter 2012-03-15 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
That it does. [She's trying to pin point this.]

So I can hand you the glass and then you can drink it? Or do I need to hold it too?
huntersdaughter: ([bar] bringing drinks around)

I take it you're a drink alone type? [It's the only thing she can figure for a loss like that.]

Here, we can try this. No charge so we can figure out if it'll work with it just being from me. [She'll pick up the glass, fill it, and then hand it to him.]

Glad to contribute to your drinking habits.

I'm Jo. [Since, she figures it's just polite.]
huntersdaughter: ([expressive] Well Fuck. Hands to hips)

[personal profile] huntersdaughter 2012-03-16 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
It does come with the job. [She smiles.] I own the place.

I'm definitely fond of the title.

Are you enjoying your stay at the castle?
huntersdaughter: ([expressive] Thinking it Over.)

[personal profile] huntersdaughter 2012-03-17 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very familiar with coping. I've been here a little more than two years.
huntersdaughter: ([expressive] Crop over shoulder)

[personal profile] huntersdaughter 2012-03-17 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
There are a few here who've been around longer. Not too many, but a good friend of mine recently closed out three years.

Something important you're in a hurry to get back to?
huntersdaughter: ([expressive] Thinking it Over.)

[personal profile] huntersdaughter 2012-03-18 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you're not alone in that thinking. There's plenty of people that have things going on back home they'd like to get back to doing. Lives to save, wars to win - that sort of thing.

[Not that Jo fits into those categories.]

[personal profile] huntersdaughter 2012-03-20 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, I don't think the castle cares. Some of us, though, we're pretty okay with being here.
huntersdaughter: ([expressive] Yeah but... I mean...)

[She shoots him a look.]

You might wanna watch the tone when you're talking to the bartender that hands you a drink.

Hey, I've got no issue with being someone to talk to you while you drink. I just don't take kindly to people being short with me just because I like it here.
