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!

He gave a wry smile at that. "They have got things all sewn up here to make it as hard to rebel as possible." Monitoring everything they did had a lot to do with that. "One person on their own isn't enough to change anything."

"And no one really joins a group, here." Cindy rolled her eyes. "I bet we couldn't even organize a girl scout troop for this place, seriously, it's no wonder they don't have things like organized sports. All they do is watch the arenas."

That was one thing she didn't understand. Sure, it was entertainment. But what about anything else? No football or anything here, and at least the teams stayed alive for season after season. How were you supposed to have favorites when all but one ended up dying, never to be seen again? Maybe that's why these games were so popular, now. Everyone came back, again, and again, and again.

He shrugged. "Maybe groups like the scouts and sports clubs are outlawed because they would give people a chance to rebel." It might explain a lot. And if they'd been outlawed a long time ago people would think that not having them is normal.

"Of course with all of the tributes there's a natural tendency to bond over the situation we've found ourselves in." When they weren't trying to kill each other, that was.

"Probably." Cindy had to agree with that. Back home, joining a group like that meant you were doing something the government approved of. Here, who knows? Girl Scout cookies could lead to overthrowing the government.

"For us, yeah. But I'd love to know how past tributes dealt with this. There's not much room for friendship when you know all but one is going to die, you know?" She shook her head. "Here we get to come back and do it all over again. But they're just... well. Dead."

He nodded. "I don't think I'd want to get to know someone I might have to kill." Killing them and then getting to know them was a bit strange, though.

"Befriending someone who's going to die might help them, although it wouldn't be quite the same." They wouldn't need comforting in quite the same way.
undercoverprincess: (you are pretty hilarious)

"That's what we're doing here. But what's the phrase, politics makes strange bedfellows? Maybe that's how it goes for this place, too. Making friends that you'll have to kill causes you to become strange bedfellows with them." Cindy took a moment to let the phrasing sink in, before she grinned.

"How about you, good sir? What kind of bed fellows do you think you'll be having?" She gave him a wink.

He blushed, feeling that she was using a different sense of the word in her question to how she had previously. "None, I expect." He coughed and tried to look and sound as if he wasn't at all embarrassed by her question. "I wouldn't want the capitol to use any bedfellows against me, strange or otherwise."

Yup. She was definitely using it in a different way then before. "That's probably a good idea. Unless you're one of those guys that gets attach to everyone they meet."

She shrugged. "Otherwise, you're going to be in for a big surprise, here."

[personal profile] splendid_roman 2013-08-10 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
He shook his head. "I'm not." Not in any sense of the word attach. "Friends are one thing, but bedfellows are reserved for when you're married." Which wasn't going to be happening here.

Cindy had to laugh. "You really are pretty straight-laced. And a good guy, but I think we already established that before."

Waiting to be married before having some bedfellows. Something she used to believe in, but being married to Prince Charming had jaded her to that really quickly. Cheating bastard.

He blushed a little. "That's just what it's like where I'm from."


((OOC: we may as well end it there and not have two threads on with them at once))

Works for me! Officially ended!

"At some point, you really need to describe in detail where you're from," Cindy laughed, looking off to the side. "Sorry to leave like this, but if I don't go stop my friend over there, I think he might pass out from embarrassment."

She grinned. "But let's definitely continue this conversation again at some point, okay? I'm not letting you off the hook that easily, Ian." That came with a wink, and once they said their goodbyes, she was off.
