Guess we'll see if they figure out they need to sweeten the deal.

[Because, hey. She'll hunt whoever this is down if the price is right.

And in her mind? So will anyone else. Maybe not for the same price. But? Far as she's concerned? Everyone has a price.]

You really don't get it? If this guy's someone they want, he's someone who might help us beat them.

voice:

[shenevermisses]

He might.

Or, you know, he might stab anyone in the back in return for their "help."

Or be a worse Gamemaker than any of them.

I'd like to see just how much they want to find him. And how much they want our help. He might be a good bargaining chip.

[Anything to win. Anything to survive.]

They can level this town any time they want and get him in the process. You wouldn't play these games with the Capitol back home would you?

voice:

[shenevermisses]

Then why don't they? Why don't they raze the town and take him? They have some reason for not doing it. For just threatening it.

We have something they want. We can bargain.

And y'know what? A stranger's life? Doesn't mean anything to me. If they offer me a good enough deal? I will hunt him down and drag him to them.

They won't do it because they want to control us. If you cooperate with them, they'll control you. Just like the Capitol controlled you, and every other Career. You only thought you were making your own choices, just like now.

You do what you need to, Lover Boy, I'll do what I need to.

Tell you one thing, though-- Not looking to die again. Once was enough for me.

voice:

[victorbychance]

It's not about you.

voice:

[shenevermisses]

It's about survival. Everyone for themselves, in the end. People are only going to care about what they want. Because it's "right," because it will "help," or because they're trying to save themselves.

It all comes down to "everyone for themselves."

voice:

[victorbychance]

That doesn't explain why people give their lives up for other people.

voice:

[shenevermisses]

Stupidity or idealism.
