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!

Alex was about a meter away, sipping a glass of something that passed as Coke, a plate of crisps balanced on his knee.

"I dunno. The editing wasn't half bad. A little weak in spots, but I doubt any of the viewers outside of this room will really be able to tell the difference."

Which was of course the whole point of the feature.

"It was pretty close, but it's easy to guess what the real context was," he replied almost automatically, half on autopilot as he tried to shift gears into something that's not all about the stuff he didn't want other people to see.

"Rather interesting context, really," Alex said thoughtfully as he munched on a crisp. "But that's what advertising is. Putting things in the context that most benefits you. Though, did they have to go and call being a footballer "mundane"? Sure, it's not quite as thrilling as their Games, but what is?" He wondered if that's how the Gamemakers saw him at this point, mundane. He wasn't sure if that was a safe or dangerous place to be.
hasacondition: (so... yeah)

He couldn't help but laugh, surprising him out of his funk. He wasn't sure if the kid was just coping or if that really was what he was upset about, but it got him either way. "Well, this used to be America, right? Are you really surprised? Next time try talking about the tackling one." They'd probably like the tackling, at least.

"Yes, I have noticed Americans have a thing for bodily slamming each other to the ground, preferably with copious amounts of protective padding. I'm not sure I understand the appeal." Alex didn't play rugby as much as he did football (soccer), mostly due to the amount of tackling that went on. He abused his body enough as it was, he didn't need to add full-contact sports to the list.

He laughed again, ducking his head slightly for the mention of ground slamming. "Sounds about right. I'd say it's a change, but... this place would probably support more of that."
luckofthedevil: (so clever whatever)

"Shame. I guess that means they wouldn't be tennis fans either. Not that they seem to enjoy any sports around here that don't involve maiming and death."
