Um... hello? Is this thing on? [There's a bit of tapping, as if poking at the device will somehow cause it to respond.] I guess this little red light means it's recording...

Okay. Um... So. [a beat] Haymitch gave me this... recording device. It's so that I can record my thoughts and feelings prior to the Game. He says that I have an honest demeanor

Oh, another participant of the Hunger Games?

[tasty_tribute]

That's right. Guess you've been watching things since the beginning, huh?

[wearecowboys]

Not quite. I don't really watch them, but I hear about them.

[tasty_tribute]

I don't blame you. I can't really imagine why some people genuinely enjoy watching, but the folks from the Capitol are a pretty strange bunch.

Which district are you from, anyway?

[wearecowboys]

So I've heard.

I don't belong to any district.

[tasty_tribute]

...You're another one of those people that lives outside Panem?

[wearecowboys]

I'm willing to bet everyone you meet here aside from Katniss and Prim are.

[tasty_tribute]

Really? I never thought about other people living outside Panem... They don't teach us anything like that in school.

What's it like where you're from?

[wearecowboys]

It's dry, filthy, and filled to the brim with crime.

But if you look past all that, it's a fun place, really.

[tasty_tribute]

...That doesn't sound very fun at all.

[wearecowboys]

Maybe not, but I can't really say Panem is any better from what I've seen and heard.
