"And this is your outfit!" Macro pulls away a sheet of fabric to reveal the mannequin underneath.

Finnick squints at it, trying to figure out what the big deal is. "What outfit? There's just a naked dummy."

"No, no, look closer! See?" He motions to the mannequin's crotch "There! My masterpiece! The C String!"

He leans closer and can make out something made out of a flesh colored net. There's a few small shells and glass woven into the net. Finnick looks back up at the stylist. "Sea String?"

"Yes, C String!" Macro reaches out to turn the dummy around. "See, it goes across your hip like this and you hold it between your glutes here like this and it has a little pouch for your jewels!"

"And I'm supposed to wear this?" He eyes it dubiously.

"Well no, not just this. I have this as well!" Macro holds up a box with a flourish.

"A necklace?"

The stylist bobs his head. "It's made of seashells!"

"Uh huh. So you're telling me I'm gonna go out in front of all of Panem wearing nothing but a Sea String and a necklace?"

"Well, that's not entirely accurate. You'll also be wearing glitter."

"Glitter."

"Everything's better with glitter!" Macro gushes.

"I'm Finnick Odair, I don't need your freaking glitter."

"But sparkles!"

"No sparkles! Finnick Odair doesn't do sparkles!"

"I suppose. We can forgo the glitter, just this once. Maybe a little oil instead. Yes, yes, I think that's the ticket. We'll oil you up, then slip you into your C String, then send you out to your adoring public!"

"I hope Mags has more to wear than this."

"Oh of course, a pearl-encrusted gown! No one wants to see her!"

"Of course." Finnick sighs. "Well, how do I get into this thing?"
