well, i've been working on the thermostats problem for a day now and the bad news is: it's not heating, and the worse news is: it doesn't act like anything that's broken

and before anyone thinks of calling it 'magic' -- don't. it hasn't been long enough for me to stop being cynical

also, it's cold and i'm not in the mood

[Tim is wearing layers now. He's wearing jeans and a shirt, then a sweatshirt, and his school blazer unbuttoned over the whole thing.]

Yeah, and I spent the night hunting for more blankets. Guess what? There aren't any.

Nobody was shocked. [at least you look cozy, good. no worrying about kids getting pneumonia.]

[He'll be looking pretty hard at his cape as an extra blanket by tonight, though.]

No kidding. Looks like our pal could use a few tips in planning ahead.

I guess I forgot you were a creepy hotel mechanic.

[trepidations]

That's... not good. Can we used the fireplace in the lobby? It's gotta be warmer there than our rooms, at least...

Great. I don't get it though. How is it interesting to watch us all freeze to death?

[ Because of course he thinks someone is watching and of course they're watching for entertainment purposes. Panem today, Panem tomorrow, Panem forever. ]

because we wouldn't

almost all people i've spoken to have some idea or another about surviving, which means we all know what comes next.

my guess is that they want to draw us all in one spot

[ That's exactly what Peeta is worried about. ]

And I can only imagine what the purpose in that might be. Do people seem to be cooperating so far?

[ Right now, he's with Katniss huddled under all the blankets from his room and hers. ]

You don't remember that year? One of the highest rated Games. People were starting fires left and right. One of the tributes burned to death. In the snow.

It isn't magic. Whoever's controlling this place doesn't want it fixed.

[ Classic Gamemaker tactic, changing the environment to liven things up. Why isn't everyone convinced this is an arena yet? ]

[pajarita]

Katniss and I are staying in one room away from the others. You're welcome to join us. I've extended the invitation to Cashmere and I will to Johanna as well. I'm not going downstairs to be a fish in a barrel.

[It is too chilly to sit there and tap out messages.]

If you have not gotten it working, then why are you not still working on it?

[This sadly sounds logical to the Nogitsune.]

I was thinking the staff would get on it. [here's looking STRAIGHT AT YOU]

[carjacked]

The good news is it's definitely not magic

[they're getting better. it's okay. (it's not okay but it'll be okay. raven's a big girl. she's only crying once a night now.)]

et fucking tu, brutus

[kirking]

Mind if I look for myself?

[pajarita]

you've got one, don't you?

[amplified]

you shouldn't rule out the possibility of supernatural interference. remember the biting i mentioned?

[pajarita]

i didn't want to ask for the specifics of what you liked doing in the bedroom
