Round 02. [Video]

[Cato has watched all of your shenanigans barge. Particularly the debacle between Nygma and Ladd and Crane. He has some words about this.]

You all suck at giving people a show.

[He's all kinds of cocky teenager] I mean you really do. I went back through the network posts and for whatever reasons or not you guys are lousy.

Plus, I'm amazed the admiral isn't taping all of this. Unless he is. Is he? [Cato is not preturbed by that thought. At all.] I mean okay then maybe I'd take it back because if he's taping this for an audience it doesn't matter if you try to hide what you did. The cameras will see, and people will place bets.

I honestly think that he should make the games available for viewing. [Anyone who has any experience with human emotion can tell Cato's trying to be brave when he says this. It sounds hollow, a boy's boast.] That way, people would have a good idea of what sort of tactics to use.

Or I'd just like to watch them.

Find out strengths, weaknesses. Illuminate who's who.

Standard games tactics.

You're planning on taking them all down yourself? [Her included, which means she won't be sharing her reconnaissance method unless he has a damn convincing reason.]

...I would never attempt that alone.

I'm not stupid. I know I need a good ally.

You must have one already or you wouldn't be asking this question, just observing.

...Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. [Glimmer was better at this] Three heads are better then two. Or six. Or ten even.

You do. [Or else you're not even as smart as you think.] And what exactly are you establishing alliances for? If you're planning to take over the ship, that doesn't seem to work so well. [Though it might go better with a group of people trying.]

[Cato looks interested] I think once you have a group of people who can pool their strengths and resources people will be more then willing to make a decision as a group.

[and then Cato will stab them in the back-and Glimmer will try and kill him. Because that's how it's done in Panem.]

You know, kid, it's going to be a lot easier to draw people to you if you start with some sort of plan in mind. I doubt you'll get many allies just for alliance's sake. [It's strange to think, but you do that and you're more likely to just end up with friends.]

[Friends on the barge. That's just plain weird.]

You're assuming we don't have a plan.

Don't you?

[Allies only] You're assuming there's only two of us.
[so there is just two but what can he do.]

You just told me three heads were better than two.

...Allies only.

[And now he looks kind of grumpy at that. She got him. Damn it.]

You won't get too many with that sales pitch. Maybe you'd have better luck walking up to people in the mess hall and asking if you can sit with them.

...Mentors are supposed to make packs, not careers. [grumble]

Careers?

...It's the nickname the poorer kids give us. Just because we're a little more prepared then they are.

Prepared for what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.

Two tributes from every district, compete for honor and glory as a worthy sacrifice for the capitol in punishment for the dark days and the rebellion. 24 enter, one leaves.

Those are your "games"?

I'm guessing the poor kids generally don't get through this.

...There have been winners. All of the kids in Districts One and Two are trained. It's just the other ones that have problems.

Well, however things work for you back home, I can tell you that they aren't like that here.

...But it'd be easier if they did.

Seems like it'd be easier to fight your way out, doesn't it? But you must not have looked at your competition.

...Hey I looked at my competition just fine. I had the most recorded kills in the whole game!
