If you want it wet then you gotta make it rain!
Who| Holly Day and You!
What| Holly thinks things could use a little more fun, so she's set up a booth just for that
Where| In the Tribute Center lobby
When| A few days after the arena
Warnings/Notes| N/A
DUNK A HO
Anyone walking into the tribute center will notice the sign with those three words, flashing in bright neon pink and exploding into rainbows before flashing again. It sits above a dunk tank, an arrow pointing down at the person sitting in on a little platform in the tank, still dry, grinning eagerly at anyone who happens to walk by. A bin of tennis balls is a few feet from the tank, waiting for someone to grab and toss at the target to dunk her.
In her opinion, it's been entirely too long since they've all had a bit of fun, and she's more than happy to encourage it, even at her own expense. Holly benefits as well, of course. She's recently bought some new waterproof makeup, and she's looking for a way to test it- this obviously the way to go about it.
"Come one, come all!" she says loudly, "Try your hand at dunking a ho! I'm far too dry, doesn't anybody wanna make me a little wet?" This will be followed up with a giggle and an exaggerated wink, and she'll continue trying to entice people until someone finally decides to come and dunk a ho.

no subject
He can't resist a little more joking first, though. He grins and shrugs. "Maybe I lied to you."
He grabs one last ball and, because he's a cocky little jerk like that, backs up a few more paces before throwing it. This time, he throws it straight at the target so she can have her long-awaited plunge.
no subject
Her eyebrows raise at the next comment, but she doesn't really have time to react before he's throwing the ball and suddenly there's nothing under her. Holly lets out a screech that's abruptly cut off by her plunging under water. She pushes herself up quickly, breaking the surface with her hair plastered to her face. She spits out water, before breaking into a smile and reaching up to pull strands of hair away from her eyes.
Not a drop of her makeup is running.
"You did it!" she says loudly, pumping a fist in the air.
no subject
But, no, as soon as she's above the water he can see that she was being honest about finding it exciting. He relaxes enough to force a crooked grin. "Didja really think I couldn't?" Well, he supposes he couldn't blame her after his act.
He walks the rest of the way to peek over the edge of the tank at her. "Are you gonna be able to get outta there yourself?"
Twiggy as he looks, he's strong enough to lend a hand if need be. Or try.
no subject
"Maybe a little!" she says cheerfully, giving him a wink. "But I still had faith in you!" She waves a hand dismissively and pushes the platform back up until it clicks into place, before pulling herself back up onto it. "I'm fine!" she says, flexing a muscle to showcase she's not a total weakling. "And look- my makeup isn't running at all! This stuff is a miracle. Thanks for helping me test it!"
no subject
"That's the kinda thing you call a miracle?" He manages to keep a good amount of the disdain out of his voice, but not all of it. These people are incomprehensible to him.
"Wait, so this was just to test that..?"
He was pretty sure there had to be a much easier way.
no subject
She starts to dab at her face to dry it, before giving him a nod. "Yep! I mean, I wanted people to have fun but I also wanted to test out my makeup, so it's a win-win for everyone right?"
no subject
No offense, Holly.
He half-smiles, a little amused. "Just seems like there'd be a quicker way to do it. 'Least for the makeup part, not that I really know how that works."
The disclaimer just slips out, something that his subconscious feels is necessary given how often he gets accused of being girly.
