I don't know. We get food, warm places to sleep, and no one's trying to kill me currently. If you ignore the audience, it could be worse.

[tallasaking]

...Hm, I would not put a large bag of gold on that particular outcome.

[takeabow]

Ignoring the audience?

[tallasaking]

Yes, if that is what you would like to call it. I call it not feeding blood to the beast.

[takeabow]

It's easier said than done, I think.

[tallasaking]

I fear you may be right ... you seem rather familiar with it all. The public eye, I mean. Have you been here long?

[takeabow]

[ she sighs slightly ]

Four months? But I dealt with the audience thing at home.

[tallasaking]

Ah yes ... this horrific land where you have to pretend to be something that you are not. For the fawning public. I imagine this place must be ... something of a relief.

[takeabow]

Fewer revolutions happening here, in any event.

[tallasaking]

Well I wasn't planning on starting one - were you?

[takeabow]

I never actually planned to start the last one.

[tallasaking]

So it just sort of ... accidentally occurred? You walked out of your door and tripped over it?

[takeabow]

You'd be surprised?

[tallasaking]

...Somehow, m'Lady Nova, I think not.

[takeabow]

I was more the spark that lit the flame, anyway.

[tallasaking]

Ah, but did you give it breath? Did you let it flee on ahead of you?

[takeabow]

I think I became the mascot. I don't know, actually, what happens after the Capitol burned my district out.

[tallasaking]

Hmm, nothing more dangerous than being the symbol. That typically makes you the first target that people try to take out.

[takeabow]

Yeah. Also it doesn't do much for the not wanting to be controlled thing.

[tallasaking]

I prefer to open the cages for every last one of us broken things... let us breath fresh air, and seek our own path. It is assuredly better than the one that is forced upon us.

[takeabow]

Yeah, I agree.
