The shocking and thrilling adventures!

[gamemakers]

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!

Head tilting slightly, his expression turns from vague annoyance an befuddlement over the whole of the evening's events to something more pensive and thoughtful. He considers his interactions with the people of the Capitol over the past weeks, carefully reviewing their perceived motivations, though in truth he'd been avoiding most things that had to do specifically with his fellow Tributes or where his status as a Tribute would be of particular note. "I have not, though I must confess, Mademoiselle, I have not attempted to do so."

It seems an oversight in retrospect, something to which he should have played closer attention. He'd been so distracted by the fanfare surround the events and his own lack of understanding of them that people who served his own quest for information had been his priority. Perhaps that was, in fact, a flawed perspective after all.

The first step to understanding anything, as far as Aliss is concerned (although admittedly, she has always been more of a learn-through-reading sort of girl), is to have as much information as possible. She manages a slight smile and shakes her head.

"Well, you haven't been here all your lives like some of us have. It takes a little while to get a grip on this place, no matter how simple and shallow it might seem to someone used to less ... extravagance." Whether she's speaking of the place fondly or with contempt is up for debate, but it's likely a good measure of both. Growing up in the Capitol had the potential to make you bitter, but it still had wonderful things in it.

Absently, he nods along to her words. He's still distracted by the glow of the bright colors on the television. It seems to be a repeat of, or perhaps highlights from, the previous interviews. It's all so curious how this society developed to become so reliant on such things. After this brief reverie, he snaps out of it, somewhat visibly pulling himself from his thoughts and concentrating more on hers. It's ironic, of course, that his immediate situation was so demonstrative of her point.

"There is-- was," he catches himself, amending the phrase with a note of bitterness. "There was something of a dichotomy in Paris which was not entirely dissimilar to this place. The greatest of opulence and extravagance existing within the same city as those suffering the most. The Capitol has managed to remove the most dramatic of its debased, perhaps, to the Districts, but the congruence strikes me all the same."
