Intro

[tasty_tribute]

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

[tributed]

More private coaching...

2/3

[tributed]

What am I supposed to be explaining about the name? I don't get it either.

3/3 tragic-star-crossed-lovers tiem!

[tributed]

It posted anyway, you know?

1/?

[tasty_tribute]

It did...? Oh hell...

[wearecowboys]

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?

[grancenturio]

Ah, the young man from the same district as our Katniss. We've seen you a few times before.

[tasty_tribute]

Not surprised, really. That's all they show on the television anymore these days. Or, at least, that's all anyone will care to watch for the next week or so...

[grancenturio]

It is a bit surprising in your case, since before she started posting to the community no one here had even heard of said Games. We are a long way off, after all.

[tasty_tribute]

Really? That's strange... Everyone knows about the Games. It's been a tradition for as long as anyone can remember...

[promiseunbroken]

Hm. So you're in those games too? You happened upon the wrong kind of audience.

[tasty_tribute]

I wouldn't say that exactly. Haymitch seems to think Katniss and I are pretty popular. With any luck, it'll earn us the sponsors we need to give us an edge.

[promiseunbroken]

What I mean is, I don't think this is broadcasting where this Haymitch guy thinks it is.

[tasty_tribute]

Where else would it be broadcasting, though?

[supplanted]

[she only really knows him from constantly seeing him on TV after the reaping, but:]

Peeta?

[tasty_tribute]

[And he's mostly heard of Prim rather than having actually seen her face to face.]

Yeah, that's me. And you are...?

[supplanted]

Prim. I'm Katniss's sister.

[tasty_tribute]

It's nice to finally talk to you, Prim. I don't really see you around town much. Guess it's because Katniss is the one always coming to trade with Dad.

You and your mother are both doing all right?
