Luke's Diner | Friday

Bod knew there was a rather large event occurring in England today and while he wasn't watching himself, some of the cooking staff were and kept asking Bod questions like he was part of the monarchy. He smiled and answered as best he could and then decided to go with a theme for today's specials.

Today's Specials
Beef Wellington
Steak-N-Ale Pie
English Walnut Pie


Luke's was open and the Union Jack was flying high today.

Katniss had initially wanted to come in to eat, but upon seeing Bod, she realized with a pang how long it had been since she'd seen him. And the fact that she wouldn't see him again, after next Friday.

So she took a seat, waiting for his attention.

"I've been a little negligent when it comes to seeing friends, these days," she said with a small smile. "Hi. Sorry about the long time and the lack of seeing."

Her smile turned a little tight. "I'm sure you'll have more time with summer just around the bend," she offered.

"That pie thing, with the walnuts," she decided. "Please. We don't have anything like that at home. I'm not sure I'll ever get the chance once I get home."

"I'm sure it is," she decided. "I'm pretty much a fan of any kind of food. I'm remarkably easy to please."

"I also like pizza," Katniss agreed, a little sad. "I'm running out of time to try everything, and I keep finding myself sticking to things I know I won't eat at home, as long as I can."

"Probably permanently, actually," she said carefully. "I have to, um, go home to compete in our national sport."

"In a manner of speaking," Katniss said carefully. "It's a little more barbaric than what people here do and watch for fun."

"Deadly, actually," she said lightly, because maybe if she said it lightly it would suddenly be easier to talk about. "They're called the Hunger Games. Twenty-four tributes, two from each district, are thrown in an arena with weapons and forced to outlast each other."

"It's punishment," Katniss said quietly. "The districts rebelled seventy-five years ago, and the Capitol won. The Games are billed as entertainment, but they're reminders of who has the power."

"You're completely right," she said, a little impressed at how well he'd understood immediately. "Next Friday is my last day on the island. Then I go home to be reaped and then to the arena." She cleared her throat, and added, "I'm not anticipating coming back, so I certainly hope this pie is good, since I'm unlikely to try for a repeat next fall or anything."

"Sort of," Katniss said carefully, taking the fork. "I competed in the Games last year after my sister's name was drawn, and I went in her place. But this year is unprecedented. It's sort of an all-stars tournament of previous winners."

"We're working on it, but the Capitol citizens love it," Katniss offered with a humorless little smile. "Their children don't have to compete."

She shrugged a shoulder. "I just need a little luck," she admitted. "Only enough to get my partner home. I should be able to manage that." She slanted a look at him, and added, "...if you had an interest in watching, you could, by the way. We're hacking the signal so my, um, friends can...watch."

Watch her die, that is. Cheery.

"Professor Skywalker did it," Katniss said, shaking her head. "I trust him not to leave a trace. I have a fair audience, at this point."

"I'll be in contact before I leave to give you the dates, then," she said with a nod. "Brace yourself. They're...grisly."
