The shocking and thrilling adventures!
Who| Everyone
What| The Capitols oh so exclusive interviews~!
Where| Primarily the common areas, but the interviews would be on every TV everywhere.
When| This evening, at 6 pm sharp
Notes| Use this post to ICly react to the interviews (if you don't make plans of your own!)
The advertisements hit hard today. Tune in at 6 o'clock, you won't want to miss this special! Everywhere a person could look, it was there, and the city was clearly excited for whatever this mystery event was.
As if that wasn't enough, escorts were encouraging Tributes to be in the commons, and a small feast of finger foods was laid out along one wall, extra avoxes available for drinks.
And, as promised, at 6 pm sharp, all the TVs flickered to the ever flashy Caesar, on an equally flashy tabloid-tastick reality style "interview" of the tributes. All the TVs in the common area light up with it, as well as the Districts suites, even if the TV had been off before.
Hope you all enjoy your dose of fame!

Reality TV and "skillful editing" have been long-gone where he comes from.
There's a few parts he liked. The hand-holding? Big fan of that, R almost smiling until he remembers they showed his little horde of three taking down Beck.
"I don't...get it. It's..." R struggles to think of something to say. His Escort was pretty insistent on being positive and helpful if he must groan anything at all. "...uhgh...something?"
no subject
"Show business, kiddo. They wanna entertain people and this - this is downright entertaining! I dunno how they got that angle, but damn, I think they captured my best side?"
She haughtily turns her head in profile in an exaggerated primp.
"Whatta you think?"
no subject
"I...guess," R mumbles, not sure if someone like Karis could even have a good side. At the end of the day, she's still a zombie, no matter how filed her teeth are or how insanely good she is at speaking. "Feels...creepy. Cameras when...feeding?"
R tries to aim for a rare heart-to-heart with the dead girl he doubts will agree. He's never been proud of having to dig through someone's guts but at least it was in privacy - at least as much privacy as you could get with other zombies doing the exact same thing. Seeing it on the TV like that, though. He wants to see that same spark of "I don't think I'm cool with this" in Karis, R's gray eyes on hers, trying to read her face.
no subject
"Maybe. But why should I care if people watch?"
She snorts, "They wanna get their jollies from watching me kill someone, fine. I'm still gonna eat. I'm gonna do what I do."
She swings her head around to look at R. Her eyes glow their usual acid yellow and there's not a hint of remorse in her.
"It's what I am. Why should I try to be anything else?"
no subject
R can’t think of anything to say to that. Why shouldn’t she? It was one of those questions he thinks all the other corpses think, even if they can’t say it aloud, and he’s ashamed that he’s had the same thoughts before, too.
“You don’t…want to…change? Be…human?” R asks, baffled here. “For…ever Dead?”
Him? He’s still uncomfortable with the idea they’re being filmed and graded on how well they take down some Tribute as a little pack. It’s bad enough he has to end someone’s life all because he can’t control himself, but at least that was private. Mostly private. It wasn’t the same with other zombies watching because they weren’t judging. R stares at Karis and he’s annoyed to find there’s a part of him that almost wishes he could be as comfortable in his own rotting skin as Karis is. She works it in a way he never could.
no subject
She grunts and settles a bit lower in her seat, shoulders hunched and arms folded. Maybe she's a little bit more uncomfortable with the idea then she lets on.
no subject
He tries not to get infected by Karis's grumpy mood. It's hard not to. Zombies feed off each other; they motivate each other to hunt in packs and collect together in the dark, R wondering if maybe it was like that when they were Living, too. Who knows? Keeping a positive attitude's a struggle when his new instinct is to do what Karis is doing.
R wheezes out a sigh. "I...guess. Bummer." That's one way of putting it.
