Voicetesting...a character who has no lines. Go me. | Homeless forever.

[ex_foxier768]

If you can be enabled, you can be manipulated. You should probably look in to that.

It's kind of pathetic.

Since we're here: the tribute from District Two isn't on my level. Stop forcing me to talk to her. Those Careers are as clever as a pile of rocks - and if it came down to a test of wits, I'd probably bet on the rocks.


[She's all talk.]

[findthisdistracting]

...So who is on your level?

[ex_foxier768]

I'll let you know when I find someone.

[findthisdistracting]

[Just. Raising his eyebrows forever.]

Big talk.

[ex_foxier768]

I'm going to win, and I'm going to do it because they're all as dumb as dirt. There's no point in playing humble.

I know who you are, by the way. You're Finnick. From Four.

[findthisdistracting]

Everyone knows who I am. [Little shrug.]

Luck to you, then. [Though it's pretty obvious he's not all that sincere about it.]

[ex_foxier768]

May the odds be ever in my favor? Because they are.

[findthisdistracting]

Really. Even if there's an ocean in the arena?

[ex_foxier768]

I'm adaptable.

[...That would be a 'no'.]

[findthisdistracting]

I sure hope so.

[gamemakercrane]

Except that the career tributes have taken the last ten games. District Five's last winner was almost 12 years ago.

[Just here to remind you man.]

[ex_foxier768]

That's because I haven't been in the last ten games.

[Just here to remind you.]

[gamemakercrane]

Being torn apart by man-eating plants doesn't appeal to you?

[That's how last year's District Five tribute went.]

[ex_foxier768]

Winning appeals to me.

[gamemakercrane]

[He is intrigued. Very intrigued.] Putting the power in the power district.

[ex_foxier768]

That's right.

[So cocky. And here, she studies him - sizing him up.]

You're Seneca Crane.

[gamemakercrane]

[He laughs at that. Cocky? You can't match the capitol for cocky kid.]

That's right.

[ex_foxier768]

[Oh, but you're being cocky WITH her, Seneca. That's conspiratorial, isn't it? She's going to feel so proud of herself right now.]

So I guess man-eating plants are out of style this year. You wouldn't have mentioned them if they're going to be in the arena. That's giving me an advantage.

[gamemakercrane]

[..He's caught. That makes him annoyed. There's no flash of annoyance however. Just a serious smirk.]

Maybe I'm just gauging your reaction to the idea.

[ex_foxier768]

I think your audience wants something new and challenging, not things you've already done.

That's your job, isn't it? To make the games interesting?

[gamemakercrane]

It's my job to keep people entertained. They could care less about interesting so long as it's...a dramatic surprise.

[he has an idea now, studying her. One manipulative person to another.]

[ex_foxier768]

[Careful, Seneca. These things do tend to bite you in the ass later.]

You can only watch the same dramatic surprise so many times before it's not dramatic or a surprise anymore.

[Petulantly:]

You're a gamemaker. I expect you to be smarter than I am.

[gamemakercrane]

[And he laughs, a genuine laugh.]

I suppose you think you could do better then I could?

[ex_foxier768]

You set the traps. I'll get out of them.

[She knows her place. But don't miss that odd little glint in her eyes - because yes, she thinks she could. Not that tributes could ever become gamemakers, but it's definitely in that arrogant expression of hers: if she could angle for Seneca's job, she would.]

[gamemakercrane]

[His eyes narrow but that grin doesn't leave his face. He leans forward.]

Are you actually planning on making the head game maker angry?
...You realize I could bury you right?

[Literally bury you. Somehow. In snow. Or how about flowers. Poisonous flowers.]

[ex_foxier768]

[Well. At least she'll get a challenge out of it. Her smug smile does falter somewhat, however. That's a flash of uncertainty in her eyes.

But gone in a flash and she's all arrogance again.]

Not if you want a good show, right?
