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!

Besides, it was true that nobody in the arena should trust her, particularly if they were stupid enough to take the word of open propaganda. But not everyone could be so cavalier, as Donatello's stiff exit might attest; she went after him.
But slowly.
It was strange the way it always came down to this. You meet somebody, because you're looking for them, or by chance. A conversation, a handshake, something clicks. And then you feel responsible; it's only a few short steps to offering them a berth and a duty-list. You're a soft touch, Shepard.
"Hey," propping the rooftop access open behind herself was a precaution; it might as well be closed, "You got a minute to talk?"
no subject
"Hmm?" Turning at the sound of the voice, he saw that it was Shepard. He managed a smile as he sat down, his cup of coffee in hand. "Sure. Is everything all right?"
no subject
"Nothing about this situation is 'all right'. But you left kinda quick," bluntness is the last bastion of sanity, "Wanna talk about it?"
no subject
A pause.
"Not always in good ways, either."
no subject
Should've grabbed a coffee of her own; or better yet, something stronger. This was a conversation that needed the fortifying buzz of alcohol to get through unscathed.
"Donatello, so far as I've seen, none of the people who live here are on our side. None of them."
no subject
He'd disagree, point out that he knew the Rebellion existed, but--then he'd be committing suicide. And he couldn't do that.
Not yet.But how to word it..."Shepard, what do you know about ancient Rome and gladitorial games? And I don't just mean the games themselves...I mean...the culture around them? Around the gladiators themselves, and how they were perceived?"
i'm sorry about how long this took and how tiny it is

"Don't tell me you feel guilty because you've won this particular lottery."
no subject
No way to really get around it.
"There are others I'm worried about. Who might be targeted because of that show."

"Its hard to," he admitted. "Vengeance and anger...my father spoke of it as a sharp cliff leaning inward."

His father, either way, would look upon him with sadness and shame, seeing him now. Learning what had happened and what he'd been doing. Don just knew it.
"My father was a master warrior. But he always taught us that the ultimate aim of a warrior is not simply to fight. He would always say that the perfect warrior is not simply blessed with a sharp blade or heavy fists, but with other gifts as well, such as mercy, love, rectitude, intelligence and honor. All are honed so one might become an instrument greater than any sword."
no subject
"I'm begining to think that I'm not really the right person to ask about all this. I've been called a warrior, but— I'm really just a soldier," Maybe there was a certain amount of intersection between her job and being a warrior, but they weren't the same things, "You should talk to Thane Krios sometime. I think you two might have something to say to each other."
