districttwo[Post this, Cato has finally emerged from the common room. and he is...full of unease but playing it cool. Oh so cool]
Are there mutts here?
[he hesitates] Is that part of the rehabilitation process? If inmates get...out of line are they fed or forced to square off against muttations?
[The saddest part about this, barge, is that he is beyond serious. Don't expect anything beyond nods and okays as far as responses go however.]
[Private to Dylan]
...There was...a thing. I thought it was a small mutt but it was just a regular dog I think but...
[and he lets that hang. Because. Dogs. He can't handle it.]

Date: 2012-09-17 05:42 am (UTC)[Cato is stunned.] You're telling me that it's not a muttation but it's a person and then it's not?
[Cato that's the wrong thing to say. Seriously. Because the muttations that they brought out-borrowed genetic appearances from the tributes. It was designed to fuck with people.]
....But it's possible, for people to become those things? [He doesn't sound angry, just-scared.. terrified] I wasn't watching where I was going. I t-tripped and it chased me and that was a person?

Date: 2012-09-17 05:49 am (UTC)You tripped and it chased you. Did it even so much as bite you?
Re: [Private]
Date: 2012-09-17 06:03 am (UTC)[But it growled. It barked. Cato looks terrified.]
...No. No. No bites. [Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.] It didn't bite me. It didn't rip me apart. It didn't eat me. It barked. It growled. It chased. But it didn't eat me. It didn't.
[He hesitates. He was babbling and he knows it.]
I'm sorry.
[Private]
Date: 2012-09-17 06:30 am (UTC)I don't think it would have hurt you. I think it was probably tryin' to run you off 'cause you scared it, too. [He doesn't know how scared Tommy would have been, but he knows he's super reluctant with his identity and that says enough.] The best way to get over bein' scared is learning more about somethin'.
[Private]
Date: 2012-09-17 04:49 pm (UTC)...Okay.
...Is it. [slowly, stuttering.] Are they going to come back and kill me for what I did? Should I be armed?
[He almost asks should my warden know. progress.]
[Private]
Date: 2012-09-18 02:36 am (UTC)Nobody's gonna put a hit out on you over it. [Don't worry, he is going to talk to his warden.]
