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!

"No, I want help. I want a little bit more than constant static from you, because it's not doing me, Steph, or even you any good beyond letting us all go around in circles taking it out on each other."

Okay, Stephanie wasn't taking it out on anyone. Yet. Tim was sure that was coming though, and he wasn't looking forward to it any more than this.

"You can't kill me in the Capitol. Don't be stupid. Tributes are forbidden from fighting outside of the Arena. Do you really want to sacrifice an ally to find out what the punishment for killing another Tribute is? Shit, and Dick wonders why I have a problem with you. Tim said something I don't like, so I'll tell him I'm plotting his death. Real nice fucking teamwork there, Robin."

"We are not allies."

Oh, Damian was seething. It really wasn't as simple as saying something he didn't like, but he refused to justify himself to Tim. What was the point? He didn't get it. He'd never get it. Damian was sure of what Tim thought of him and that was why he didn't try harder to cooperate. Because when he did try, it didn't matter anyway.

"If you want teamwork, find it elsewhere." He gestured away to the rest of the group crowded around in the room. "Perhaps you'll find someone who cares about your delicate sensibilities."

"Don't kid yourself, Damian. Right now, I'm the furthest thing from an enemy that you have." So, he was pissed that Tim pointed out the truth. Half of their animosity was on Damian - more, in Tim's opinion, but he couldn't even get the kid to accept some of the blame for it. As long as Damian saw them as enemies, there was nothing that could enable them to put aside their differences and work together.

This was not the setting for trying to do that anyway. It was time to cut him loose and let him stew in it for a few days. Maybe after a few more days of Games reruns, he would see the sense in cooperation. Tim didn't expect him to suddenly like him, but even Jason would work with him with a great, common enemy in play. He'd attack Tim afterwards, but Tim didn't give a shit what Damian did once they were home again.

"I'll find someone else to talk to right now. Keep in mind that I won't slit your throat," Tim said as he stood up and started into the crowd. "For someone who talks about family so much, you've got a lot to learn about being a part of one."

Sometimes, Damian thought he couldn't possibly hate Tim anymore than he did. And then there were things like this, and he knew that nope, he really could hate him even more than he already did. He didn't buy anything that Tim said (well, except for the not slitting his throat part, because pfft, Tim wasn't man enough to kill him, he knew that), no matter what the situation. He didn't buy it because even if they were "allies" now, it didn't mean understanding or acceptance. He would continue to be as ignorant as he always was.

But as much as crippling Tim right here and right now would feel amazing, Damian only made a loud tt sound instead, letting him walk away without much more fuss. He wasn't happy about the decision, but it wasn't like he had much of a choice, either.

Ugh, the things he would do to him if he hadn't made that stupid, awful promise.
