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!

One minute, he was standing by himself, still shocked by the revelation of the trolls' culinary preferences. The next?

There was one right next to him.

In panic, fright, and in the interest of self-preservation, Jack took a swing at the troll. Surely the Peacemakers would understand that this monster was going to eat him, right?

Honestly, if Terezi wasn't expecting him to lash out after that, it would have been incredibly stupid of her. She scrambles back with a few hurried hops, ducking out of the way of his fist. The cackling laughter isn't very far behind once she's put some space between them.

"Wow! Your manners towards fellow dinner guests are absolutely atrocious! Who taught you to hit blind girls? For shame!"

Before Jack has a chance to answer, a small grey blur barrels into him. "I've never eaten a human before, but if you don't shut your seedflap and stop spewing that crepuscular nookbile five fucking seconds ago I'm going to try it right now!"

He punctuates the sentence by biting Jack's arm.

His arm. The thing was biting him on his scar arm.

Oh, that was not going to happen.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

If neither Terezi or Karkat were careful, they were going to be in a world of hurt. Say what one would of Jack, but he knew how to fight. And he was definitely capable of injuring someone with his punches and kicks.

...Terezi can honestly say that she wasn't expecting that, however.

"Karkat!" She's not keen on jumping into that fray again, but she's rather alarmed that Karkat would throw himself at the guy like that. She wasn't planning on upping the ante to actual biting. Even she's not that crazy.

Oh, god. This is what he gets for looking away from Karkat and Terezi for all of a few minutes.

"Karkat!" he shouts in exasperation, rushing past Terezi, arm extended. Karkat gets a cheek full of pappin' hand and an earful of shooooooosh. "We don't eat people, remember?"

He may spit Jack's arm out but that doesn't mean he's not going kick him in the shins immediately thereafter. He already can tell he's going to have a giant bruise where Jack's punch connected tomorrow.

"Fine," Karkat grumbles, but some of the rage has leaked out of him, the result of being shooshed. "But he better not try pulling any of that beastshit again on my watch."

This nookwad just tried to punch the girl Karkat kinda sorta maybe likes. He deserves whatever Karkat gives him.

Jack, meanwhile, had managed, after throwing multiple punches at Karkat's head, to sidestep the shin kick once he was released, and was holding his forearm tightly. Even with his best application of pressure, though, traces of blood began to seep from beneath his tightly-clenched fingers and clothing.

"What the hell are you talking about," he said, taking a step away from them, "When you're the ones talking about eating people on television and then coming up and sniffing and biting me!?"

Indeed, there was likely a Peacemaker or two starting to converge on the commotion as Jack spoke.

"We weren't talking about eating people, you encephalitic piece of musclebeast shit," Karkat snarls. His tone is still pretty venomous despite all the papping Signless is doing to him. "We were talking about eating chocolate. At least I was, anyway. And Terezi always licks people. She's blind, you shitpail. It's how she sees."

"Shooooosh" the Signless repeats, wrapping the arm not attached to his pappin' hand around Karkat's shoulders to hold him still (and prevent any further attacks to Jack's person).

"I'm sorry about him," he says to Jack, because he knows Karkat isn't going to apologize for himself in a million years.

He was still giving a glare. Not good. Not good at all. But all things considered, the revelations (such as they were) made him even more annoyed.

"Then why didn't anyone say that before, because its sure as hell not what it looked like! And how was I supposed to know she was blind before she started sniffing me!?"

If there's one thing that Terezi doesn't find appealing is standing around while people talk about her like she's not there. She's more than capable of speaking for herself, even more so of defending herself. And she's certainly not happy about Karkat getting hurt for her sake, regardless if it was his own stupid fault to begin with.

"You could have asked! Like a reasonable, sensible, intelligent person. You're the one who came bursting in here in hysterics, eating up that hyped-up drivel by the mouthful like you don't have two brain cells of your own to rub together. We're not savage monsters who can't tell what we should and shouldn't eat; and even if we were, we'd still be smarter than you!"

Karkat's pupils don't actually form tiny hearts. That would be ridiculous. But the remaining fight drains from his body and he stares at Terezi with a look of clear admiration on her face.

"Yeah," he chimes in. "What kind of moron actually believes that beastshit--especially when they're trying to make it sound like we all want to bone Wesker's creepy ass."

"Wh-I am reasonable and intelligent! And I know what I saw! So how am I supposed to know when you're doing that anyhow!?"

Those Peacemakers looked ready to pounce on the trolls. So, so ready. In fact, one started to move towards the biting party.

"No no no," Annoyed - and perhaps, on a level, he immediately understood what the Peacemakers meant to do with the offenders - Jack waved them away. "Whatever. Fine. I suppose I was wrong this time. But if you guys pull that one me again we're going to have real problems!"
