Right then, bitches.

The Seal's never going to stop being a jerk, and Kitten and I can't stay cooped up inside moping forever. But I've got somewhere between 'jack' and 'shit' idea how we're supposed to entertain ourselves here. It's so weird, not having the endless cycle of interviews and training sessions and fancy galas ~~and rebellions.~~

Suggestions on a postcard to 'Not Missing Panem One Bit', c/o Sanctuary.

	Get a job, go to school. Take the classes and we'll find you a hunt. Lawrence is a pretty big place, so it's not that hard to find something to keep you busy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A job. Right. There a lot of call for Victors in Lawrence? I can get you some great references from people who don't exist here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shockingly enough, a lot of people are in the same boat. There are plenty of businesses around either run by other displaced like you or run by people like me who know the deal and are willing to hire folks without verifiable references. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do all of them have your sunny disposition and general helpful demeanor? And if so, you don't know any who need a mad axewoman or a grumpy archer, do you? I mean, I was pushing for suggestions on shit that's worth seeing or doing around here, but if "get a job" is the best suggestion you have... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only with the ~~whiny bitches~~ people who have an attitude problem. You want sightseeing tips, google "things to do in Lawrence." That stuff's gonna get old quick, though. A lot of people around here work even if they don't need the money, just for a way to pass the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Attitude problem? Well, fuck you~~ Only an idiot trusts the internet to tell them the places worth going; you want to really know a place, you ask the locals. Preferably the ones without sticks up their asses but I've got limited options here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Most of us locals don't have time for sightseeing. We've been a little busy averting the apocalypse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woodensoldier 2015-03-01 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	Now, see, that's the kind of thing that'd be handy to know. "There's an Apocalypse needs averting" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deservedbetter 2015-03-01 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Not currently, but I'm sure the next one is right around the corner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fan-friggin'-tastic. I thought they were kind of a one-time deal. So how do we know when the next one's coming? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deservedbetter 2015-03-01 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Not around here, nope. It's kind of hard to predict, but it's been too quiet lately. That's not usually a good sign. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm glad we don't have the interviews and galas. I hated those. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If I never have to dress as a goddamned tree again, it'll be way too soon. [Kitkat] How you holding up there, MJ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, well, your gimmick wasn't "lumber". Year I won our stylist figured we'd be really clever for the victory tour, go for something evergreen. District Seven never dies. ~~That, and the scent of pine kept me from wigging out. Really, really clever that girl~~ Needles everywhere. Scratched me half to death.

[Kitkat]
Good. Then you won't mind us going out for drinks with this Kenzi chick tonight.

	Sleep. Drink. Wait for the Seal to drop more shit on our heads. ...I really need to get a hobby. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	woodensoldier 2015-02-26 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	You and me both. If nothing else, Lawrence is going to run out of vodka and ice cream sooner or later. There anywhere worth going drinking, or should I just stay here in my pjs waiting for the inevitable tragic shortage? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lawrence. Run out of vodka and ice cream? We don't say such terrible, terrible things.

The Roadhouse is halfway decent. Bed of Roses, too. They're run by people who know what the dealio is around here, so it ups the odds of you running into more of us displaced types if you check in. There are a couple others - [here] and [here] being the best, let's be real - that aren't so displace-y. You know, if you're looking to avoid the usual crowd.

	We've stockpiled a good percentage of it, I'm not gonna lie. And you're a lifesaver. Thanks. Got to weigh up the 'avoiding the usual crowd' against the 'Kitkat being asked about that fucking Oscar Selfie' factor, I guess. How many norms do the Displaced bars generally get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_the_kenzi392 2015-02-26 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	You and me both, sister. And, hey, no prob! Always happy to help a fellow booze and ice cream enthusiast. Fifty-fifty mix. Hate to break it to you, but your girl has a really popular face. You're gonna run into all kinds no matter where you go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woodensoldier 2015-02-26 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing we're not used to from back home; it'd be nice to catch a break, but ain't nobody that lucky around Jerk Seal apparently. ~~Makes a change from them asking about the wedding, or the Mocking~~ Burning question: which one of them does the best cocktails? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_the_kenzi392 2015-02-27 12:25 am UTC (link)
	Nope. There's only one kinda luck you're gonna get around here and it's not the kind you're looking for. So how many times have you been asked to repeat your speech to Caesar since you've gotten here? Because, I gotta say, I personally thought that it was incredibly inspirational. I was truly touched. Roses. No question about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woodensoldier 2015-02-27 12:31 am UTC (link)
	Not once, would you believe? Lousy ingrates wouldn't know inspirational if it punched them in the dick. You buy the first round at this 'Roses' and I'll give you a private rendition, though ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I tell you, no one appreciates quality these days. It's a crying shame. Does that offer still stand if the drinks are free? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	woodensoldier 2015-02-27 12:43 pm UTC (link)
	Do free drinks still come with a stick full of cherries and one of those little paper umbrellas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_the_kenzi392 2015-03-02 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	Lexi said free. She didn't say poor copy of a good drink. It doesn't count if there aren't any little umbrellas. (Reply to this) (Parent)
