Hello Maude Ivory,

I do not know you. Please tell me about you so I can document it in my journals.

Uhmmmm

I'm in the covey and I'ma pretty and I got a cat called butters 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

[askflorus]

The Covey? Interesting, I’ve heard a bit about your people. They’re all mostly traveling beggars that have been nearly killed off, correct?

[askflorus]

Florus, which of your classmates did you consider as true friends?

Hello xtabithanala,

As I have mentioned, I was not particularly close with many of my classmates. I was the closest with Androcles but I was cordial with some others. The Rings were nice people and Festus Creed could always be counted on for a good joke.

[askflorus]

I think the bombing was done to specifically kill Androcles Anderson he deserved it, plus all of his mother’s reporting is biased. I deserved that raise not her

-Lepidus Mamsley

Hello Lepidus,

Funny you should bring up biased reporting. Did you think we forgot about the Courthouse Incident?

In the future, I would advise you to keep Androcles’ name out of your mouth. It’s really no surprise that Lucky Flickerman has a more successful career than you.

Hello Felix,

I fear there is a rat potentially living in my personal library. I have found droppings and teeth marks on some of my more precious books. These books are not replaceable you see.

Can you advise me on trapping and killing a rat?

Thank you,

Florus

Florus,

Thank you for writing to me about your business. [Large blot of ink.]

If the storage of your books is inviting the wilder variety of my preferred animal companions, then perhaps, the problem is not the animal, but the manner in which you are storing Panem's precious histories?

[Larger blot of ink. The contents of the last paragraph are partially scratched out before, it seems, the author thought better of it.]

Apologies, that was uncalled for. As you know, rats are some of my closest companions. I will be along shortly to help collect the rat. I would advise that you restrain from any attempts at killing it, or I may lose my temper.

Best,

Felix Ravinstill

[askflorus]

Ah yes, Felix and his charming affinity with rats. Tell me, is it true that a portion of Panem’s food-support budget went to your pocket in order to buy frivolous items for your rats?

[askflorus]

Hello Florus,

Who was your favorite classmate?

Hello the-sun-and-the-sea,

That’s an interesting name. Are from District 4?

I’ll admit I wasn’t particularly close to many of my classmates. I was something of a wallflower for must of my school years.

Of course, I did have my best friend Androcles Anderson who I was deeply close with. It’s a loss I still haven’t recovered from.

[askflorus]

I do hate to speak ill of my former classmates…

But one must wonder how true the information on a certain account is if it’s blatant propaganda ran by a hired manager.

[felix-ravinstill]

[posted in foro]

The manager doesn't even do much! She just sends me reminders to finalize my media accounts and make sure I select a good profile picture!

Fate forbid! You tell someone to clean up where they keep their books one time!

Naturally the Ravinstill’s respond with thinly veiled threats. Not shocking, considering the whispers of secrets I’ve heard about this family.

why were you so curious about the bombing? weren't you there?

- sheaf.

Hello Sheaf,

I am curious for two reasons. The first, of course, being so that I can document the various experiences. The second, and more important, is because my dear friend Androcles sustained fatal injuries from the bombing. I’m sure you recall him- he was your mentor, correct?

[askflorus]

i can see why u have no friends

Hello Anonymous,

I can see why you feel the need to hide behind a screen.

[askflorus]

Florus what are your thoughts on the Ring twins???

Hello thatthingilovewith,

Apollo and Diana ring were two of the classmates I grew up with. I look back fondly on Apollo as he was also quite personable and willing to have a chat. It’s tragic, the way his life was cut short.

I will admit, there was a period of time where I had a bit of a crush of Diana. Their funeral was off-putting and ended whatever romantic feelings that remained towards her.

[askflorus]

how do u feel about servia, your grandmother?

Hello boabelboo,

This is a question that’s difficult to answer in a format such as this. My feelings are complicated, but ultimately I admire the beginning of her career and the way she was able to archive so much history from the land formerly known as ‘The United States of America’.

However, it does pain me to know that she ultimately chose money and power over the art that is being a genuine historian. I believe she ultimately regretted this, though she never voiced it.

Why do you ask? Have you been reading her books? I caution you to take what you read with a grain of salt. I fear it is not an accurate portrayal of the history of Panem.
