voice test; looking at asgardeventide

[OOC: Canon point is his night drinking with Katniss in "Catching Fire". They've announced the Quell Reaping card and Haymitch knows the plan to rebel]

Well you aren't any better than me. Sure send me in! Maybe I won't have to kill anyone I know.

And I'm fooling myself. Telling me that this is for their own good being a part of it.

I need another drink.

Isn't it a little early to be drinking?

[He knows the answer, but he never passes up an opportunity to talk with Haymitch.]

Isn't it a little early to be asking rhetorical questions?

No time like the present. After all, I'm sure your mun is ten times worse than an old friend.

I haven't had to kill anyone there. Maybe you don't have to, either.

Yeah? Then tell me old friend, how do I get the mun to stop?

[He just looks at her for a long moment.]

Baby girl, I don't think you can kill anyone at all. But that's a good thing.

You don't. Besides, this place is better to us than Panem ever was.

[He pauses.]

It's still a mess though. Nothing we can do will fix that.

[She makes a face at him...and then remembers this isn't exactly a bad thing.]

Maybe you don't, but people still expected it. [Back in Panem, with the Games.] They don't do that in Asgard.

Better than Panem but nothing we can do to fix the mess? Weren't we just trying to do prove that kind of thing wrong in Panem?

[A lighter look.]

I'm glad you don't have to do that in...Asgard.

Finnick and Peeta said things are happening in Panem right now, but they won't tell me what.

[There's still a hint of irritation there; she really doesn't like it when people keep things from her.]

It's safer here.

[His jaw clenches at her mention of Panem. He rubs his hand across his jaw and nods.]

Well, then I guess this type of thing is good for you. You should stay safe.

But what about everybody else?

[She doesn't care about the Careers much, but you're Katniss' mentor, and that makes you Important.]

Instead of the Capitol interfering in people's lives, it's a bunch of Gods. Gods, Haymitch.

Peeta and Katniss are from different points, and I-

[He reaches for something. It's his rope that he used to practice his knotting. Now it's more of a habit than ever.]

And Annie...It's all messed up.
