gamemakers: (capitol exclusive)

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!

Adachi had started out pretty neutral as he watched the interviews, pretty sure everything there was completely taken out of context, not to mention he was pretty sure none of those questions were actually asked at the interview. When they got to his part, however, he went from neutral, to horrified... to downright pissed off.

"I'm not a murderer, you ass!" he snapped, kicking at the stand that held the television... only to let out a curse a few seconds later, hopping around on one foot. Dammit, he deserved it, but it still hurt!

"Then you're going to be the first one to go when the arena begins."

Bert was taking this all in stride, he was already starting to get used to being observed all the time. And it helped that his words were pretty much entirely in context.
wantedittobeagame: (Yeah whatever)

Adachi shot the person a sour look; he hadn't even noticed they were there, not that he would have cared either way. Still, a heads up would have been nice.

"I said I wasn't a murderer," he grumbled. "If I have to defend myself, then I have to defend myself."
tis_allgood: (I did turn as he pointed)

[personal profile] tis_allgood 2013-06-12 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Is there such a great difference?"

Bert took a nearby chair and leaned in so he wasn't as easily overheard.

"Most men would do what they had to in order to defend themselves. But you will have to do better than that to survive these games."
wantedittobeagame: (Err...)

[personal profile] wantedittobeagame 2013-06-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Adachi turned toward him, slipping his hands in his pockets, keeping his casual posture. His tone was serious however, and there was a dark look hiding under his goofy exterior.

"You think I don't know that?" he replied, keeping his voice low. "I don't want to have to kill anyone if I don't have to, but these damn things need to stop."
tis_allgood: (I guessed what skull-like laugh)

"You could always find someone to kill you straight away so you needn't face it any longer than necessary."

Cuthbert peered around to the others in the lounge before snaking a finger up to point at himself.

"Oh! Look! I've found just such a man. He would kill you if you wished it. Quick and easy and as painless as he can make it."

Adachi jerked away from the kid, the clown look gone as he stood rigid, glaring down at him.

"You're enjoying this?" he asked, sounding incredulous despite the expression on his face. "Why?"

"I don't enjoy taking innocent lives. But I am in luck, because the life I took last arena came right back, as did mine when I was killed. What difference does it make, then, if I kill thee? You will return here safe and sound and I will win the luxury I deserve. I even offered to make it easy for thee. Either you want to win, or you should take the easy way out."

It was a sick sort of logic, but it worked for Cuthbert. And without knowing that sometimes people didn't come back, he was confident about it.

"That doesn't justify it!" Adachi snapped, feeling his hands curl into fists. "Just because we come back if we die in the arena, doesn't make it okay! We're still taking a life... and no one should have to go through dying more than once!"
tis_allgood: (I had so long suffered in this quest)

[personal profile] tis_allgood 2013-06-22 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
"When I get to the clearing at the end of the road, I will make accounts for every life I've taken. But I doubt they will tally the ones who died and stood again not a day later."

There was a more dangerous implication there... that he had taken lives outside the arena. And that he made no secret of it.

"Gh…"

Adachi backed off at that, a disgusted look on his face. Dammit… just dammit. Was everything in this world this crazy?

"Damn monster…" he muttered, a small shudder running down his spine as another thought occured to him: the way he said that reminded him of a certain empty grey haired boy, rotting away in jail, waiting for the death that would likely come for him. That was not a thought he needed right now.

"And I don't eat humans," mutters the tiny troll that Adachi might have seen in the District One Suite before the arena ended and Hyperion came back. "You don't even look like you'd taste any good."

Adachi paused, glancing down at the... little guy? Okay, he's not bothered by the weird skin color, but what's with the horns? Were they some kind of headband or something?

"Er... thanks, I think?"

"You should get over that dumbass hang-up about murder, though," the troll replies. "It'll just fuck you up in the arena, unless you're in cahoots with someone who'll do your killing for you."
wantedittobeagame: (You seriously suck...)

[personal profile] wantedittobeagame 2013-06-13 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"I rather not have anyone killing anyone," Adachi replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "I just got finished solving a big murder case; I'm not about to go around killing people."

Why was that so hard for people to understand? Why were they just so... accepting of the fact that killing was okay, as long as it happened in the Arenas? It was bullshit!

"Then find someone else stronger to do it for you," Karkat says, rolling his eyes a little. Humans. "There's probably someone here you can make an alliance with. I mean, shit, it sounds like you're an Investigatorturer, so you're probably used to having the courts do your culls anyway."
wantedittobeagame: (I didn't just wake up!)

[personal profile] wantedittobeagame 2013-06-14 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Investigator; no torture involved!" Adachi wailed, a hand going to his forehead. "Sheesh, what kind of world are you people from that you're all okay with this?!"
sleeplessinalternia: (26 This is a cold war)

[personal profile] sleeplessinalternia 2013-06-14 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Alternia," Karkat replies. He takes a bite out of a pastry he'd managed to score along the way. "Maybe you come from a fluffy juvenile hopbeast world where everyone sits in a pile of grubmallow fluff and hugs things out, but some of us come from planets that aren't 'pan-meltingly lame."

Fluffy? Inaba? The murder case? HA!

"Trust me, everything would be great if it were fluffy," he grumbled under his breath, before shaking his head. "You're making it sound like cops are a bad thing."

[personal profile] sleeplessinalternia 2013-06-15 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Karkat shrugs. He's kind of confused on the whole subject of human cops. "And you're being an idiot about the whole death match thing. Like most tribute humans."

"Why is it being an idiot to not want to go along with these damn game people?" he shot back, annoyed. "We shouldn't have to be forced into this!"
