Voice test, looking for a game

[ready_and_vicious]

I really don't know what you expect to happen. I'm a Career, not a socialite, and I really don't feel like playing nice with people. Most of them are idiots anyway.

Whatever. I knew you were going to ignore me anyway,.

Being in a game won't force you to "play nice".

I really just want to see what he'll do, heheh

[crouchingtiger_hiddenface]

[Is casually ignoring Cato, reading a book.]

Wrong person

[xochipilli_cursed]

Then don't play nice?

[howherolls]

Playing nice isn't as helpful as it's chalked up to be.

[ready_and_vicious]

Aren't you the poster boy for playing nice Mellark? *he sounds amused*

[howherolls]

[ he offers a weak smile ]

I think that image's been retired.

[ready_and_vicious]

Well I hadn't heard so, so clearly you haven't done a good job spreading the news. IF its true....I still have my doubts. I've seen your puppy-eyes...

*he considers Peeta for a long moment then sighs* what's up?

[howherolls]

The puppy eyes did do wonders, didn't they?

[ he rubs his hands together ]

I, uh. Got sent back for round two. Seems having two Victors was a promise the Capitol didn't mean to stand by.

[ready_and_vicious]

That they did, damn things.

*he arches an eyebrow*And you were shocked?

[howherolls]

...yeah, I actually was.

[ he shakes his head, as if realizing how ridiculous he sounds ]

Still. It...could be worse. [ he stares pointedly at Cato, a sympathetic smile on his face ]

We're all just pieces, to them.

[ready_and_vicious]

Yeah well at least I'm living on the other side...

*he sighs* Look Mellark...no matter what you do...they'll always find a way to fuck you over...so make sure you do some damage before you do...alright?

[howherolls]

I think the damage's been done.

There was a war, after our Games. The Capitol lost.

[ he gives him a second to let that sink in ]

There is no more Hunger Games, Cato.

[ready_and_vicious]

Well I suppose that's something...

*he shrugs* Not like it means anything to me though. I'm still dead and you still let me suffer through a night of torture before firegirl killed me.

[howherolls]

[ awk...ward. Peeta clears his throat ]

I guess an apology won't mean anything, but all the same.

[ he gives a half smile ]

If it makes you feel better, they did have to amputate my leg.

[ready_and_vicious]

It doesn't make me feel better you know...I was never about killing or maiming just for fun....

*he huffs a sigh*

So how are you and Catpiss going?

[prettyknives]

Cato, I haven't seen you in ages. Where've you been?

[ready_and_vicious]

Clove, I've been practicing...Causing trouble...the usual. Where the hell have you been?

[prettyknives]

Some stupid castle that could give the Gamemakers a run for their money.

[ready_and_vicious]

*His eyebrows go up* A castle?

[prettyknives]

Long story. Katniss and lover-boy are still there.
