Fourth Dispatch: It's Not What You Think. Voice.

Dear Fellow Residents of Luceti,

Wouldn't it be entertaining to put on some Games here in Luceti? Not that the Cultural Fair wasn't amusing, or any of the other activities going on here -- but true gladiatorial games. The pitting of one creature against another! Think of the thrill and drama and the release that goes along with that sort of entertainment! And here in Luceti we are ideally suited for a very exciting Games indeed.

Who would you sponsor or volunteer for this entertainment? Or would it all be...

[There is a pause here.]

Pokey-mans? I find human beings MUCH more interesting to watch, personally.

Wow. He's so cute when he smiles like that. "Do we even HAVE lions here?"

Derail. Derail.

Yes, I think I've got it. [She hadn't wanted killing, either, but now she feels shown up by some mere girl.] I expected more from a tribute from District 2. Really.

I don't want to pull it. I am not an ox or other assorted beast of burden.

[Prim prim prim prim PRIM AND PROPER. LIKE QUEEN ELIZABETH, BITCHES.]

I am sure gamemakers like yourself could step in and set up all of the required rules and regulations.

They are the ones who design the Games that Trib--

That athletes are honored to be chosen to enter. Obstacles, traps, anything challenging that you can think of? The Gamemakers put it in place to make everything more exciting for everyone!

[DON'T THEY SOUND LIKE THE MOST BEST PEOPLE EVER?!]

Jack had lived a long time knowing that he was cute all the time. Without even trying. It was his most cherished superpower.

"Mountain lions. Not nearly as impressive. They don't even get manes."

Wrestling. WRESTLING might be very interesting! I was hoping for some input, to be truthful!

It is popular in MY world as well, although we sadly have no monsters.

[In a manner of speaking.]

I can see why that would be an exceptionally interesting draw, though.

[oh my god that icon]

It is of the sake of everyone in the village, my dear boy, that I hope that it DOES happen. Think of how much enthusiasm we could rally!

Did you not hear the "honor" part? [Because that was in there, Loki.] Unless you have better awards?

Only a little! Probably! [We make no guarantees.]

Very well.

[Bother. Bother bother bother bother bother BUT STILL -- he wouldn't dare. Not here. Not with so many flying people and heroes and such about! And the Malnosso so carefully watching her, their favored daughter!

So when six rolls around Effie walks very confidently -- at least in appearance -- into the Battle Dome. She is wearing a tasteful jewel-tone blue day dress with matching pumps. Very comfortable. Her hair is done up tightly beneath a silver wig ornamented with large, silk iris blossoms. Perfect.

She is unarmed.]

Hello? Glaring, angry man? Yoooo hoooooo

[She doesn't sound happy.]

Sidhe...courts? They are royalty, then?

[Because that sounds right up her alley. Really.]

Oh.

Really. Scary?

I'm not fond very of it myself, but you're more likely to have volunteers who would be more than willing to participate.

It would also be easier to step in when it seems it is going too far, rather than watching an ancient Roman sport take place.

The beast within ME is gorgeous.

[And she slams the journal closed on him. Hmph.]

Leagues! Yes! You're on to it, now. I think we should have sporting leagues here. Lots of healthy competition! Lots of differently-channeled loyalties!

Football, hockey, basketball, and soccer have rules! [She even read about one rule that involved playing with a human head, somewhere down the line.] They just don't have proper costumes.

[YES. FINALLY.] Wonderful! And your name?

[GOTCHA, AANG.]

What about riding flying animals through fiery hoop races?

[Yes, she has been talking with Rainbow Dash.]

And I shall rise to the occasion, lighter than air! You know how to find me!

Because entertainment is entertaining.

[Point? COUNTERPOINT!]

Unless you mean this book, I actually don't, Effie-san!

Go ahead and hunt me, then. I am certain that you would be brought up cold by the very forces you champion here.

But I am glad you find me fashionable.

If you're appealing to honor, you truly do have nothing of value. A crown is worthless with no throne. Paper and tin.

So really, what you're asking is to be entertained for free.

[He smiles. It's not a nice smile.]

You're coming at this from entirely the wrong angle. Games are always more fun when you play them yourself.

She has already tuned you out, Derek. These are the things she DOESN'T want to hear.

These are things that, where she comes from, are too dangerous to hear. Life-threatening. Torture-risking. She's never been that brave.

"I'm quite comfortable where I am, thank you. Well. Save for the fact that I WILL be going to the Dome tonight at six. A fellow has arranged to meet me."
