Round 03. [Text]

[districttwo]

What are things that pre-collapse children did for fun between the ages of 12-18.

The Collapse: During the 2nd attempted occupation of the countries of Iraq, Iran, and the middle east the United States efforts to enforce a world-wide dictatorship with themselves at the head were met with resistance. Nuclear retaliation by the countries of the United Arab Emirates and their allies along with dwindling resources led to the dissolution of the congress at NORAD and any attempts to unite Humanity.

Occupation was considered a necessary evil due to the wildfire devastation that destroyed most of the western coast of the continental united states as well as the earthquakes that split the country. The capitol, harvesting the brightest minds from the think-tank known as Hollywood brought them to NORAD and inland to create a shining utopia of creative thought and ideas.

Due to the greatness of the people brought from the government think-tank Hollywood, they were able to bring back several things and bring a degree of normalacy to displaced refugees who flocked into the areas eventually known as districts.

Basically when everything blew up and the great ones from Hollywood founded the capitol. What did children do for fun.

[Cato has a half-healed cut over his eye] My warden died for me. [He's not sure how he feels about this at all and he wants reassurance it was a bad thing.]


[ooc: Yes folks. Cato's world was founded by HOLLYWOOD~ and reality TV. because when the world ends you're going to grab all the actors and actress but honestly how else do you explain a roman-esque society founded on high fashion?]

Why bother lecturing them about the beginnings of Panem? They won't understand....

[She pauses and inspects the cut over the video screen.... Then shakes her head.]

Why? Why'd they do such a stupid thing? You're more than capable of handling yourself.... Your warden isn't going to try to guilt you into anything now because of it....

Right?

[There may be a hint of jealousy in her tone, easily masked with contempt for the warden who thought they were doing him a favor. No one would have done that for her... not give up their life to save her...]

Your geopolitical references seem improbable.

This may be due to deficient mental processing in what you infer to be your post-apocalyptic system of governing: Hollywood was more famous for its entertainment industry and financial problems than as a designated US government agency for policy discussion.

[Audio, because knee-jerk reaction]

[vanshrike]

"Government think-tank Hollyw--"?

[Nope, can't even finish repeating that.]

--That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.

[hungryanhorny]

Hollywood? [Seriously?]

[thestarspangledman]

Well, I played baseball. I drew a lot, too.

[hunt4commonwealth]

I read in my history books that kids used to play video games for fun, play sports, and watch stories on television. If I've got my history right, back when there was a United States of America was a couple thousands of years before my time, though.

[And since Cato brought up collapsing civilizations...]

It's not an easy thing to survive the collapse of civilization. I know from first hand experience.

Do you think your city is the utopia its founders wanted it to be?

chromie is clippy

[strangehistorian]

I think that sentence is improperly punctuated! Did you intend it as a question?

[truth_is_cold]

I'm perhaps the wrong one to speak about common childhood activities among humans. When I was your age I was married to my first wife and about to become a father, and had joined the High Guard.

because Cato continues to amuse me forever

[surrenders]

Kids your age? Baseball and getting into trouble.
