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.

Threaded | Flat

Given his strength, an eidetic memory isn't out of the question.

Games?

What exactly are you expecting us all to be doing?

I think the problem is that people aren't trying to put on a show. They're just living their lives.

[Dylan has been part of a show where people bet on whether he'd survive or not. He didn't like it.]

Not everyone was groomed for the Games like we were... Think of them as though they were from the outskirt districts.

[She pauses a moment.]

[Private]

Have you been able to find us anymore allies?

[You people. Confuse him. So much. This is not logical behavior, nor is it the social behavior he was meant to observe outside of Manticore.

So much hard-voiced, even-toned confusion.]

What games? What bets? What people?

My people generally believe everything is a game, and the only tactic is to survive.

But this is no intentional game, there's no room for advancement. I remember how it was as an inmate. [He knows that he probably won't understand that for a while now.]

And I thought I had issues.

I have considerably more interest in escaping this inept pit of despair than performing like some flea-ridden pyjak for your personal entertainment.

[So fucking annoyed at all these weird human impulses, right now - it's in those white eyes glowing through her visor.]
