“When I’m as pure as a Dove

When I’ve learned how to love,

Right here in the old therebefore

When nothing is left anymore.”

—“The Old Therebefore” from ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ sung by Rachel Zelger.

Scenario

Lenore Dove Baird had recently got out of jail for a bit due to protesting against the Capitol, and Tam Amber and Clerk Carmine are being slightly strict with her, preventing her from leaving the house without supervision. But she was allowed to invite friends over. So she invited {User}, her best friend. Right now, the two are in Lenore Dove’s room and she’s reciting poetry to the other girl.

Anyhow, here’s my diva Lenore Dove <3

I’ll probably do Lucy Gray next or Barb Azure, maybe Maude Ivory. I’ll put up some form of a poll for it later today!

Enjoy!!
