Welcome to the 14th Annual Hunger Games

[It's the middle of the day. Maybe you're just walking out of your door to go meet someone. Maybe you heard a suspicious noise outside your door. In any case, you look out your door.

And it's there.

Peeta is nonchalantly going around, leaving a lawn gnome in front of every door. No big deal. He seems pretty wrapped up in his work, dark circles under his eyes and his hair messy. But he'll talk to you. And he'll respond to any journal inquiries about the gnomes.

GNOMES]

[ooc: Yes. GNOMES. If Peeta knows your character, feel free to say the gnome even looks like them! Or not, your choice. Peeta will be leaving a lawn gnome in front of everyone's doors.]

[Del trundles after him humming to herself, leaving little tweaks on the ones that go to people she knows.

Because trailing after strangers without bothering to actually talk to them is perfectly normal.

Really.]

[He's pretty intent on his work, but after a bit, he turns to her, smiling a little.]

Hello. You helping me?

You're mine to help~

[She twiddles her fingers in hello, and slides a paintbrush into the gnome's now-extended hand.

Had that hand been in that position a moment ago?]

[Katniss opens the door - her face brightens - then falls as she looks at the ... the ... the hell is this thing?]

Peeta, what the hell is this thing?

[She doesn't trust it's face. It's painted and smiling too much. It reminds her of the Capital's finest. So she glowers at it.]

[He looks over at her, placing a gnome by her neighbor's door.]

It's a lawn gnome. I looked them up in the library. I just thought everyone would like one.

[She raised one eyebrow at him, then back at the gnome, her face wrinkling.]

Why would we want a lawn gnome if we don't have a lawn?

[Dairine is actually walking up to her room after a trip to the library, glad to be back in civilization when she spots Peeta as he's working. She grins and bounds up the stairs after him.]

Peeta! [Waaaves~] Hey Peeta, What--

[Then she notices the lawn gnome. Cue confusion and concern.]

--are you... doing?

[ ... yeah, she's poking her head out, hair down, a towel around her shoulders -- she's just gotten out of the shower, gotten dressed, and was in the process of drying her hair, but ... ]

... What ... ?

[HOLY SWEET HELL IT'S STARING INTO ~~HER SOUL~~ SOMEPLACE PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE D8]

Do you...have the correct door...?

_{[He hasn't seen Peeta in weeks and the first time he does it's with a... a... well, to be frank, he's not sure what it is. He peers curiously at the young man at his door and the porcelain creature in his hand.]}

What... is that, Peeta?

_{[Ashura might be eclectic sometimes, when it comes to decorations, but... why this? Even he doesn't go this far.

But he was also raised to be polite.]}

Ah, thank you for the gift Peeta, but, if I might ask, what is it supposed to be?

_{[We'll discuss why you look so tired in a moment.]}

[He was stopping by his room when he sees...a gnome. Peeta dropping off a gnome]

E-Eh...?

[Tsuna hears footsteps stopping at his door and something being set down while he's reading the journal. Curious as to what or who it might be, he closes the book and comes over to the door and opens it.

... huh, there's no one there?

So he looks down.]

--HEH!

[And he promptly falls backwards, looking quite alarmed at the gnome in front of his door. THESE THINGS ARE CREEPY MAN. And even more so since apparently it just DROPPED ITSELF OFF.]

E...eh....

[S...stares at it a little more, before getting up and peeking out from his doorway.]

H... hello?

[Glances up and grins.]

Hey, just leaving people lawn gnomes. You?

[Glances over at her, already moving on to her neighbor's door.]

Oh, hey.

[He dusts a piece of lint off the gnome's shoulder. GOTTA LEAVE YOU LOOKING GREAT, LITTLE BUDDY.]
