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!

"Who will support me in the arena if they don't know me? I need to get out more."

He's keeping his distance from Karkat now, he doesn't want to end up hit again.

"Everyone knows thee, you have the advantage there."

"At least everything they showed of you was true!" Karkat is considering hitting him, but doesn't want to get smacked upside the head by the Initiate. "Everyone thinks I'm eat humans!"

"Am I not part of everyone now? There will always be those who twist the truth to suit their needs. What you and I must do is show them their wrongs."

He's holding back so many things he wants to say that would be probably considered flirting. Look, he can learn! But he's also still upset that he wasn't featured more.

"I don't know if you've noticed," Karkat grumbles, "but it's way harder to prove a negative than it is a positive. What are we going to do, refuse to eat anyone we cull? We were already doing that!"

"Win. Or send Sai Signless into the winner's circle. They will turn their feelings again."

Trolls were already the fashion, they could come back again.

"It might help if you bit fewer people, though."

Karkat glares at Cuthbert. "He attacked Terezi! Okay, fine, she can take care of herself, probably better than me, but she's new and all she was doing was sniffing him for fuck's sake. She hadn't even licked him."
tis_allgood: (Save to waylay with his lies)

[personal profile] tis_allgood 2013-06-13 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I meant me." He pulls his lip down a bit where the bite Karkat gave him hasn't entirely healed.

"Who else have you been biting? And licking?"
sleeplessinalternia: (69 Lift me up)

handwaving this is after the jack shit

[personal profile] sleeplessinalternia 2013-06-13 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"I haven't licked anyone!" Karkat protests. "That's all Terezi and her freaky tongue. And I only bit Jack Atlas because he was a colossal fuckwit and tried to punch her head. And did punch mine."

"Your flirting is going to get you killed."

He does lean closer to try and get a look at where Karkat was punched. Someone had to look after him and it clearly wasn't going to be Karkat himself.

"What makes Terezi's tongue so odd anyroad?"
sleeplessinalternia: (75 The very first stone)

[personal profile] sleeplessinalternia 2013-06-14 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I wasn't flirting with Jack Atlas." He sounds disgusted at the very thought. "I just didn't like him messing with Terezi, that's all."

Karkat lowers his voice. "So she's blind, right? But she's got this freaky dragon synaesthesia shit going on. She smells and tastes colors. It's ridiculous as fuck."

"I've met her, but I did not hear all the details. Probably because of 'freaky dragon sinassia'. But it seemed to me that she didn't need help defending herself. And I don't say that often."

He concludes that Karkat isn't concussed, at least by his standards. He ruffles Karkat's hair to try and diffuse some of the tension of touching him. And so that the Grand Highblood doesn't decide he's being inappropriate and smack them around again.

"Try not to get yourself too badly hurt before the arena. We're already set to fight to the death with all these other people, no reason to give them an advantage."
sleeplessinalternia: (55 Though nothing's on the line)

Karkat bristles at the hair rustling and smacks Cuthbert's hand away. They are not in that quadrant either. Cuthbert, he concludes is a natural everything flirt. "Yeah, yeah, fine, whatever."

He gives a long-suffering sigh. "And, okay, I know she doesn't need me to defend her. But that doesn't mean I don't want to sometimes, okay?"

"Not whatever, I may not be serious about many things, but I am serious about this. I won't be able to care for you if I'm protecting you at the same time."

And then the irony hits him. He's doing exactly what Karkat is. He draws back more.

"You can take care of yourself, but you're the closest thing I have to a friend here and I want to make sure you're taken care of."
sleeplessinalternia: (49 They're cutting off the phone)

[personal profile] sleeplessinalternia 2013-06-15 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
"I won't get myself hurt any more, okay?" Karkat rolls his eyes. "Shit, you're annoying."

Then, after a moment, "You're my friend too, you know. That's one of the reasons I agreed to have the Initiate constantly whacking our nugbones."

"That may not have been my best idea." He rubs his head where he was hit earlier.

"But 'twas well worth it if it means we can remain friends."

Since Cuthbert is fairly sure if he hadn't done something like that and just rejected Karkat right out they would have had a falling out and not been friends anymore.
