[Mar. 10] [The Hunger Games] Foolish Acts
Title: Foolish Acts
Day/Theme: March 10, 2013 "no sin except stupidity"
Series: The Hunger Games
Character/Pairing: Mags, OCs
Rating: G
My friends laugh at me in the morning when I bring the exceedingly crumpled dress from Pal in to Erinne and ask can she "iron it and it'll be like new, right?"
The expression on my face must be more pathetic than I realize. "You didn't ruin it by sleeping in it, Mags!" she's smiling as she shakes her head. "It'll be just fine!" she takes the dress out of my hands.
"I just," I mumble, "It's important to me." I pull the little note I've written out of my pocket and pass it to Apple. "…Can you see that this gets back to Pal? I mean, I know that he knows I liked it…but there's not really anything I can think of to do for him except say again."
"Oh, that's so sweet of you," Apple says. "Of course I'll take care of it."
I sit quietly (kind of embarrassed) as I scoop berries onto my oatmeal and slather an overly generous amount of butter onto my toast, then watch it melt from the warmth of the bread.
Aulie turns on the TV and flips through some menus that I didn't even know we could bring up. "I recorded something for you," he says.
I hope it doesn't have to do with Jack Umber, because I'm getting tired of being teased about that. I'd just like Jack and I to get to maybe be friends without anyone bothering us about it, but I suppose that as a victor (as two victors) that's too much to ask for. …But I think of Aulie and Apple as my friends as well so maybe it's not strange then for me to expect them to be a bit more definitively on my side.
But (fortunately) it has nothing to do with Jack Umber. It's a cartoon. Just some kid-directed thing. I watch as I eat my breakfast, although I don't know what Aulie wanted me to see it for until the funny, semi-stifled smiles start to spread across the room, indicating the point of interest to come.
The two stylized girls in the story end up hiding in some bushes. I can't see where this is going until they start discussing how they don't know how long they might be out there and one's stomach growls. Well, it turns out the other girl (the one with the purple hair) has brought along something to eat: a tin of Crispco crackers.
…and then I know. The girl with the blue hair says the words I have seen myself say in rerun almost word for word: "This is the best cracker I have ever eaten! Crispco! I could eat the whole tin!"
I've left an impression… And while it's not really the kind to be proud of, it's better than being caricatured as a killer. That's me. A goofball girl who loves crackers.
