younger haymitch. voice-testing!

[fiftieth]

Brought me here just because of a fancy little picture you saw? 

Well, I applaud you for your impeccable taste, sweetheart. But picking me up from this point in my miserable existence? Questionable.

And as for all of these "games" you're looking at? I think we all know how I'd feel about that.

[ well this is....

...interesting. of course she's familiar with the face, what self respecting tribute doesn't watch the previous games for hints and tips, but she'd hardly expected to ever actually meet the guy. At least, not before he'd become the drunken mess they all know and love to hate. ]

I'd watch out for those 'games'. Not all that different really, forced to go in, subjected to all manner of things, and they call it entertainment. Best you can do is try to keep your head above water, hope you don't drown before they lose interest.

[ haymitch pls why are you young this is weird ]

[fiftieth]

( HE KNOWS, HE KNOWS, this is weird for him too, okay. why. :| )

Oh, perfect. Sounds like a blast. Drowning doesn't sound all that bad right about now, though.

( yeah, watching two years worth of district 12 tributes die because of his inadequacy as a mentor hasn't exactly been a walk in the park. what more can go wrong, really? )

You sure sound like you know a lot about the games.

( haymitch doesn't even know if he meant "games" or the games. )

[andproper]

...Haymitch? [You look... different.]

[fiftieth]

The one and only.

( who are you small child -- at least you look like a district 12 merchant's kid, so he won't be too rude. )

[andproper]

You got younger. [What?]

[fiftieth]

Younger? No, unfortunately for me and the rest of the world, I am most certainly getting older.

[andproper]

[Wait...]

When are you from?

[fiftieth]

( when is he from? what kind of question is that? )

The fifty second Hunger Games ended two months ago.

-- You do know what the Games are, don't you?

( please, please don't make him explain the games. ugh. )

[andproper]

We just had the seventy fifth...

[fiftieth]

( that's ... not possible. but. )

Probably the latest trick of the Capitol, hm?

( and haymitch smiles sardonically despite the situation. )

[andproper]

Not unless you're in The Games.... [as in the pan fandom hunger games game. Now pulling past versions of current mentors into the arena - that would be a trick indeed... ]

I think this is something else.

[fiftieth]

( pan-fandom hunger games game maybe i am intrigued GOING BACK INTO THE GAMES WOULD BE TERRIBLE. )

And what do you propose it is, then, kid? It must be something.

[andproper]

(No idea if a young haymitch is acceptable without talking to the mods - though normal haymitch is. Or almost anyone else. But the general concept of is that for the 75th Games, instead of including Katniss again... President Snow started bringing people in from other worlds, and using *them* instead of district members. So. Rebellion Quashed.

And I play Prim there, as having been brought to the Capitol to be near her sister. Totally not a veiled threat there. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE)


I don't know yet...
