[OPEN]

Who| The Psiioniic, the other trolls, and YOU! It might lean heavily towards trolls, but anyone is welcome to join them!
What| Watching the final week of the Games.
Where| The Training Center common area.
When| Final week!
Warnings/Notes| Trolls everywhere. And also mentions of violence, death, and etc in passing.

It's probably not unusual for people to group together and watch the violence unfolding. The Psiioniic certainly doesn't see why it would be strange, and he looks remarkably unimpressed as a recap plays some especially gory scenes. He seems to be prepared for a crowd, with plates of food nicked from the District 2 suites scattered around him. He even prepared a sign for his little shindig:


Of course, most people won't be able to read the sign, and do you even know how long it took him to find a marker even close to the proper shade of yellow? Too long, that's what. But now he's prepared for the final cullwatch, and ready to spend time with members of his species. And people who might be curious as to what the hell he's scrawled on the sign.

(You would think something like "fiinal cullwatch" is pretty self-explanatory, but you could never be sure with aliens.)

A party... a party for violence. Shion stepped backwards feeling sick. It was one thing for this to happen, for people to send them to their deaths, and though the attitude of the capitol citizens sickened him he could sort of understand that they had been brainwashed. But this was another tribute.

"You want to watch that?"
savedbyasong: (pain)

"Because..." He stared at him with dark purple eyes, not even knowing how to put it into words. It wasn't the death, or the cruelty or how many people were dying. It was that the capitol enjoyed it, took entertainment from seeing their suffering.

"It shouldn't be like this." He waved his hand at the snacks and such.

"It should be..." He thought about it for a moment, trying to put words to concepts that were new to him and alien to the place he came from. Concepts he had learned in West Town, from Rat, from Dog Keeper.

"We can't stop it from happening but we should respect the people it happens to..." He frowned, "This just takes away... everything. It's bad enough they die."

Shion was silent because the troll was right. It didn't change anything, somewhere someone was watching it, enjoying it. Finding entertainment from their suffering.

Dragging people across worlds to die for your entertainment, Shion had thought he had seen the depths that humanity could go to. Yet he realised he hadn't even scratched the tip.

He looked down, "I can't tell you what to do..."

He still thought it was wrong, that this was celebrated.
savedbyasong: (whaaa)

"Because." He took more deep breaths, "Sometimes standing up for what you think is right is the only thing you have left."

And he had promised himself to never ever again let a regime such as this get away with their crimes, to never let himself live in ignorance of others suffering again.

People didn't even life in ignorance here, they knew.

And that made it even worse.
savedbyasong: (whaaa)

Shion blinked, "Perhaps." He kept it at that, afraid that he had said too much. Probably, if their surveillance was anything like No. 6.

"I don't know enough yet."
savedbyasong: (tiny smiles)

"Thanks." He took the luck as serious, he would need to be careful. Subtle, learn everything he could before he even thought of rebellion.

He wanted to curl up and cry at doing this all over again, alone this time. But he wasn't some naive kid anymore.

"I hope you enjoy your party."
savedbyasong: (whaaa)

Shion just nodded, and figured it would be a good time to flee before the action started and he was sick for real.
