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!

"...Has no one given you the basic biology course yet?" Terezi lifts a brow at him. "Wow, it would be a crime if I charged you for something this fundamental."

She lobs the fruit at the wall, continuing on in a casual tone. "Lowbloods are trolls who have blood colors from the lower end of the hemospectrum: Reds, browns, yellows. Some consider green to be lowblood too, but that's your general elitism. Lowbloods have a reduced social status and are expected to cater to those who have a higher blood color than them. Highblood is the opposite of that--elevated social status, privileges, what have you--with colors at the high end of the spectrum: purples, indigos, and blues. Tyrian is the highest blood color, that's our Empress. She's the only one with that color because she murders all her potential rivals for the throne."

Peeta just shrugged. No. They'd never had a biology course back home. What use was that when it came to mining coal, baking, or butchering? Biology was a science, right?

Still, he wasn't sure what to make of that. Really, people based someone on the color of their blood? That was insane, that would be like basing someone on the color of their skin, or what their job was. it didn't matter, that's just how it was. What was the point?

"Humans only have red blood." This was crazy. "Who decided what the colors mean? It's a spectrum that still has all the colors on it."

"The Empress, of course! Or at least, I would assume so. It's been used for so long, I don't know where it came from. Maybe she just inferred the social statuses from the lifespans of the caste groups. Warmer colors don't live nearly as long as cooler colors. Or maybe that was just the easiest set-up and she didn't really care so long as she was on top."

Terezi shrugs back at Peeta. "We'll never really know at this point."
