Okay, so "soon" was a bit of exaggeration, apparently. Oy. Anyway, here's a bit of Brutus for you. I hope you like it.
=============================
The debate had gone on since President Snow announced the terms of the Quarter Quell. Would District 2 trust to the luck of the reaping ball? Would they send a volunteer? If a volunteer, would the Center allow any of the district’s eleven victors to volunteer for the privilege? Or would they preselect those volunteers?
Brutus dropped the bright white paper to his kitchen table; it slid for a few inches before coming to a stop against his salt and pepper shakers. Without looking at it again, he turned and walked away.
After lengthy consideration, the Center has selected you to volunteer as the male tribute to the Hunger Games’ Third Quarter Quell. Your unique combination of skills and your current circumstances…
There was more, but he hadn’t read it. Justification for the Center’s decision was irrelevant. They had chosen him for their own reasons, had decided that he could win the Games a second time against opponents who were potentially as deadly as he. And, too, they knew that he would do nothing that would bring dishonor to the district. He should be proud at the Center’s confidence in him, but instead he just felt numb.
yessss I will accept pretty much every headcanon/exploration for Brutus and the 3QQ that is not LLOLOLOLOL BACK TO THE KILLING YEAHHHHHH :D :D :D so yeah, ow ow ow owwwwwww
(ha ha ha I love HGs where this is a treat BECAUSE IT IS BUT OWWWWWW)

He was going back to the arena.
