Gettin on Gettin on [dictated and action]

Hey, anyone whose strong, I need a bit of help in the woods. I can't raise walls by myself. So, whose strong enough and wants to help? I'll need your help in a week.

Rue, I have that surprise for you in the forest. It's okay to come see now.

[Peeta, Gale, Cinna]

Hey, guys, let's all go out for dinner or something.

[end]

[action]

Johanna is in the woods, swinging on a swing that's tied up really high. She has a few of those set up in the woods. They are close enough together that you can steep from swing to swing. It's a little game of balance. She's just swinging back and forth on the one right now though.]

[peeta_bread]

Sounds fun.

FOEVA

[not_like_the_rest]

Good~ Any place you like in town?

[fanstheflame]

[he's not sure about this, but ... honestly, it could be a lot worse, the more he thinks about it.]

I haven't actually eaten at any of the restaurants. I can ask Uru, though, I know she works at a cafe...

[not_like_the_rest]

Thanks, Gale. We can always just go out and pick one at random if nothing else.

[periculis]

And I certainly have no qualms about where we go.

[fanstheflame]

Okay, then. Just ... let me know where I need to be, and when, I guess.

[not_like_the_rest]

Everyone get down to the lobby right now.

action?!

[periculis]

[ And he is standing in the lobby in a few minutes. ]

[fanstheflame]

[Gale wanders up next to him]. Well, I've had more direct invitations...

[FROM PEACEKEEPERS seriously Johanna, holy shit.]

[not_like_the_rest]

[WHAT?! Get over it, Gale. 8| It's just how she is.

anyway, Johanna walks into the lobby in a light sun dress, grinning.]

Hey boys.

[fly_little_bird]

[Rue doesn't reply, she just heads out to the forest, hands tucked into her pockets]

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna is swinging high into the sky by the time Rue gets there. It's too high to jump from the swing so she takes a minute to slow down before doing that. She doesn't say anything, just goes over and gives the girl a hug.]

[fly_little_bird]

[And she'll accept that hug without a word, clinging to the girl she'd thought was her mother not too long ago.]

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna just pets her hair.


...


After a minute Johanna starts to hum a little diddy from her distract. She's not very good, but it's all she knows.]

[fly_little_bird]

[The humming helps. Good or not it still makes her think about happier times. Slowly she starts to relax a little]

[not_like_the_rest]

[She finishes the song before pulling away and giving her a smile after kneeling down to her eye level.]

Hey, give me a little smile?

[fly_little_bird]

[She takes a deep breath and manages a small smile]

[not_like_the_rest]

Good girl [Johanna smiles too.]

Now, how about checking out these swings?

[fly_little_bird]

[She nods] Okay. Where are they?

[not_like_the_rest]

Right here! [She waves at the rope swings that are hanging around them.] I used to play on a set like this as a kid. It helps with your balance.

[fly_little_bird]

It does? [She smirks] I don't have any problem with that

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna smirks back.] Yeah? Well show off then, Monkey.
