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.

Weapons are typically provided, but I'm not one hundred percent certain that weapons will be a FEATURE of any games held in Luceti.

[Mostly because so many people seemed horrified by the idea.]

[Voice]

[ps3pirate]

Huh, really? So... Hand to hand combat? That could be fun too, ya know.

[Her mind's still on arena fights.]

[Voice]

[trinkett]

Sometimes hand-to-hand gets a bit dull, unless the competitors are skilled...

[Effie thinks back to the Games where the only weapons were rocks and stones. It had been...awful. Even for the Hunger Games. Almost too brutal. She hadn't watched most of that one.]

[Voice]

[ps3pirate]

But the people here might be skilled, ya know. You can always ask 'm. [She's seen people here fight in all sorts of different ways, after all.]

It's not really my thing, though. I use pistols. ...Not too handy in arena games, because it doesn't make for much of a fair fight. I shoot someone and they'll be seriously wounded, ya know.

[Voice]

[happyhungergames]

Pistols should DEFINITELY not be allowed! [Because really? Not sporting at all!] Everyone appears to be against serious wounding, so we should leave all pistols at home for whatever these games turn out to be.

[Voice]

[ps3pirate]

Aye, I agree! Anyway, you'll announce these games when you've planned all the details, right? I want in!

[Voice]

[trinkett]

I will let you know as soon as all is organized! [And she means it -- she wants exciting competitors.]
