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!

"Dad freaked, ran so many scans on his system it bogged down, and he was upset that he couldn't run them on my gaming system to make sure it was safe, though I didn't go on line with that."

Ian hesitated a moment, not sure he understood any of that. Finally he asked, "What's a gaming system?" He could guess, but his guess didn't make any sense in this context.

Pepper blinked a moment. "It's a small computer you play games on. I'm horrible at most of them, but there are a few puzzle games I have that were fun."

"That's very wasteful, using a computer to play games." His idea of computers being a little different to hers.

"Everyone where I'm from has a game system. Some of them are the size of a cellphone. Seriously, all hand held."

Ian looked down at his hand while he thought about that. "I can't imagine that." He decided not to ask what a cellphone was.

"Don't you have computers where you're from?" She looked up at him. After all most places had them right?

"Oh, yes," he said. They didn't have one at school, but he knew of them at least. "There are some places that have them, but I've never seen one, only heard about them."

"Only some places? The only homes they aren't in now are pretty much the Amish, I think some villages in Africa even have networks..."

He nodded. "They're expensive and take up a lot of space. And there's very little they can do that can't be done by hand."

Whoah... old school tech. Though hey that has Pepper's attention. "How much gig can they handle?"

[personal profile] splendid_roman 2013-07-04 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know." He shrugged. "I don't know much about computers, sorry."

"Oh..." She looked down a moment. "So what are you into? I mean before this mess."
splendid_roman: (Science)

[personal profile] splendid_roman 2013-07-05 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Science," he said, although he was still interested in it, even now. "I used to teach it to teenagers."

"One of my worst subjects." She sighed. "Well, okay it's been since Tony started going to school. He opens his mouth and we have an extra ten page paper to write."

"Your son?" he guessed. Although she looked old enough to have a son at school, she didn't look old enough to have a son old enough to be writing ten pages of anything.

Congrats Ian, you now have a red head as red as her hair. "Wha? no... He, he's a good friend of mine. I help him sometimes when it comes to the whole public thing, he's a genius, but it runs in his family." She looked down. "I'll probably never see him again too." Because he wasn't here, just the older guy was and Pepper still wasn't sure what to think about him.

"I'm sorry," he said, blushing a little himself that having got that wrong. "At least him not being here means that he's not dragged into all this." Which was how Ian felt better about not being able to see his friends from home.

She shook her head. "No, it's okay."

She nodded. "True, but he... it would be nice knowing he's there because really, he's always had my back when I'm in trouble, even if it was my own fault."

[personal profile] splendid_roman 2013-07-07 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded. He could understand the feeling. "Maybe one day they'll send us home and he'll have your back again," he said hopefully.

"Yeah, somehow I don't think that's going to..." She did nod though, he's right though, she can't lose hope on seeing the guys again.

"There's always hope, even when it seems unlikely," he assured her, which was how he felt.


((OOC: That seems like a good place to end it))
