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!

Sandy peered in that direction and let out a sigh of relief.

"This is probably because I keep calling the games murder." She muttered.

Blaine frowned and nodded. "Yeah," he said. "You should be careful about that stuff." Then he winced a bit, realizing how pitiful that sounded. "I mean, I don't want you to end up hurt even more."
justoutrunyou: (he's dead jim)

Sandy gave him a tilted look.

"How much worse can it get? Next time I get murdered they don't wake me up? That'd be a relief after all this."

It was probably unsettling to hear her be so casual about the thought of dieing after only two arenas.

"They could do something to make your time out of the Arena horrible," Blaine suggested. He hated how someone as good as her was stuck wishing for death, but he didn't feel like it was his place to try to convince her otherwise. After all, he had all but committed suicide in the last Arena.

That sobered her up some. For how awful the arena was she had taken for granted that other then being pushed around to parties and meetings and interviews...and being forced into stupid dresses, life in the capitol was better then she could have ever believed. Even better then if she'd been sent home.

She groaned and hung her head giving Blaine the visible signal that his point had hit home.

"glad I don't have anyone I care about. They'd probably threaten them just to keep me in line." Which was half a lie. She was starting to care about some people. And after how she had been making an effort to talk to Blaine outside of the arena he could probably tell.
mediumdrip: (this hurts a bit)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-15 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Blaine nodded at that. It was pretty clear to any one that Blaine did have someone he cared about. The thought that the Capitol would use Kurt to keep him in line just hurt him and made his stomach twist into knots.

"As long as you understand all of the risks," he said. "And everything that's on the line."

Sandy looked at him for a moment longer and sighed.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. So...what are we risking all this for? Are we just...waiting for a hero to change everything?"
mediumdrip: (oh holy fuck eyebrows)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know," Blaine admitted. "I can't risk doing anything that would anger them, Sandy. Not with Kurt here too."
justoutrunyou: (You're kidding)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2013-06-17 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
The younger girl looked disappointed. "Yeah I guess I can see that." Except she still felt the sting of knowing someone she could count on couldn't help.

"I'm just...tired of running I guess."
mediumdrip: (singing; cough syrup)

He sat by her and offered his hand. Even if he couldn't risk tough action, he could at least give her a moment of comfort. "I'm sorry," he said. "I wish you didn't have to either."

She took it in sullen silence and tried to once again compare the world she had left for this one. The time spent not dieing was amazing. But was it really all worth the exchange of her freedom?

"I'm like a really well kept dog that occasionally gets thrown into a pit to get ripped apart by other dogs."
mediumdrip: (sweaty what?)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-18 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
"We all are," Blaine pointed out very quietly. He looked down at the floor, suddenly very distracted by how truthful that was. "I guess we can do what we need to to make sure that our time is spent as effectively as possible."
justoutrunyou: (Peeking around the corner)

"In your case that means protecting the guy who's most important to you." Sandy conceded "And for me..." She had a few ideas about what that could mean but she still wasn't entirely clear. She was just a kid! How could she change all of this on her own?
mediumdrip: (remembering)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-19 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"You have things that are important to you too, don't you?"
justoutrunyou: (A moment of silence)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2013-06-19 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sandy had to think for a minute.

"Freedom." She started. "Of speech...of choice. Treating people fair no matter what they were born as." She sounded distant as she thought back to the things that had made her so angry back home.

"Freedom to live... Not just survive."
mediumdrip: (smiling; in halls)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-20 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Blaine frowned a bit. "That's really hard," he said. "I don't know what we can do to give that to you."
justoutrunyou: (We'll use masks)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2013-06-21 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Sandy gave him a puzzled look "Nothing. Duh. You're not the ones doing this, and you can't stop them."

Shrugging her shoulders she added "Not alone anyway. You just...focus on that guy. The important one."

Because Sandy was used to being unimportant.

"You're my friend though, aren't you? That makes you important to me too," Blaine pointed out. "I mean, Kurt is from my world and I'm in love with him, but you've helped me out a ton here and you make me feel like we could win."
justoutrunyou: (Sly)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2013-06-21 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah well...I'm young and stupid. You shouldn't listen to me or you'll get killed." She grinned weakly. The idea that this teenager through of her as a friend was almost laugh out loud funny to her. What's next? grown ups seeing her as equals?
mediumdrip: (hand on chin cute)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-21 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know about that," Blaine said. "So far you haven't gotten me killed. I do a fine job of that on my own." Which just brought back bad memories of his choices in the Arena.
justoutrunyou: (oh no what now?)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2013-06-21 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"That makes two of us." She sighed running her fingers through her hair. "Two strikes so far, I wonder how many times they'll let us lose." She hadn't actually ever asked how many tributes had died how many times.
mediumdrip: (here and now)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-22 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know that either..." Blaine said with a small frown. "Until they get bored, I guess?"

Sandy shuddered and sighed crossing her arms across her chest.

"Guess this is what they meant when they said life each day as if it was your last huh?"
mediumdrip: (tucked lip red shirt)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-06-23 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"It is a pretty good example of it," Blaine admitted. "I think that's all we can do right now."
