petrova
- constant surveillance is so fun wym
- "I don't want to bother you," Naevys whispers.

"You're in my bed."

"Is that a crime?" BAHHAHAH REAL ASF SIBLING DIALOGUE
- "If Elide keeps on like this, we all know what's going to happen, and I will not let the same thing happen to you." elide got a death wish...
- hey theora...
- "These people around her, she loves them. But before her now is her sister, the only blood that remains to her, and like hell if Petrova isn't going to prioritize that above anything else." hmm who is theora to petrova
- "her little sister by seven minutes is clutching her hand" ouh TWINS...
- "But she keeps her promises.

There is no failing in that." i love interesting morality

araceli
- "He's twelve. He's in over his head and Araceli can only wonder when he's going to die, and yet they don't want the truth." what does this mean...
- BOB?
- so bob is her brother and he's in the games is my assmption
- "She wouldn't have had a chance. Not against twenty-three other Fours" oh shit... so this is a pov from home during the 100th games
- "Even if her mother was listening, she hasn't asked about Bob since the day he left. Perhaps she's already forgotten him." hhhhnnnghhh
- "Besides, it's too late to hope for one. They're all already gone." head in hands dude what the FUCK
- incredible psychic damage pov

- "I know funny is a choice word though." oh im absolutely sure

all caught up! these prologues are so delightfully intersting and yummy to read. excited for more momo! thanks for writing!

brooke: heart

cat:
- omg president time!
- "She'll have to look into that." she gon fire their ass
- "You don't truly believe I know so little of you, even now. After so many years?" hehe coworker intimacy
- "Until what?" she fires back. "Until what, Severin?" real asf. until they get angry again and restart the cycle ayyy
- "a part of her wants to take her glass and crack it over his skull." hfhjdskhfkdsj
- "Because how long, in truth, will it be before the very people around her are calling for her head?" licks all my fingers
- "Is it wrong to admit that she, too, is tired of it?" so interesting honestly
- "You don't have it," Severin says finally. "I can't." yikes...
- "Then you are more than welcome to hand in your resignation." DAMN
- "Better than the woman who ended up dead because she refused to." bars i fear
- "Severin has been a good ally these past years, an even better partner in managing the country by her side." their ideological differences r so interesting

kosta:
- hi gamemaker!
- u might be unemployed soon
- "They've already seen more dead children than perhaps any Gamemaker in history." goddamn. yeah
- "You can't be serious, I don't… what does that…" no more job!
- "letting the intern fire the cannon is the least he can do right now." BAHAHA so generous
- "She's crass, and he rarely has the patience for it. But in this he can't help but deniably agree with her." ouhhh...
- "It's the second time in as many minutes that he's agreed with her without hesitation.

Kosta gets the feeling it won't be the last time." a terrible, terrible sign

- wow holy shit these chapters are so much fun. im hooked. im steeping in the lore sauce. POLITICS! THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING! EVERYTHING AS WE KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT!

brooke :heart:

mady:
- "Madalera Alenna Cyriak-Monsanto, actually. A mouthful if Mady ever did hear one." BAHAHA
- "She died on the table. Literal table, in the kitchen. Some half-assed crook who called himself a doctor cut her open" what on earth
- "But Mady grew up hearing about her, the praises sung and the awful lamentations, and she feels guilt all the same. It's as if she shouldn't be here, that she stole the place of a better person." yeah jesus fuck id be feeling guilty as shit too damn
- "This is not a death sentence. It doesn't matter if there's a bounty on her head, if she was fated to go fourteen years ago: she can survive this." shit she a trooper!
- fourteen... wowowo
- RAVI.. HELLO...
- "Most people would have picked Pietro, too."

"And then he came twenty-fourth."

"And then he came twenty-fourth," Ravi echoes. "Someone had to." hoooohhh... thats so funny i fear. range of d12
- "A few months ago I found out I had a sister," he explains." omfg? ;;;;;
- "Walking into the reaping my biggest fear was hearing her name called. So I heard your name, you specifically, and I found myself breathing a sigh of relief." help me thats a little fucked ravi
- ravi ravster
- "Almost as soon as the shame hit me I made a promise to myself, that I was going to try and take care of you, do the best that I can for you." cries softly
- "Although his eyes are filled with a great deal of hesitation, Mady doesn't see even the faintest shake in his fingers." steady hands whahh
- "I think we can try," he suggests. "Is that good enough?"

Mady takes his hand to lift herself up—it's going to have to be." im sick. its really all we can ever do

laraki:
- "Clearly she hasn't lived a very exciting life," Laraki snickers" LMFAOOO
- AIDAN...
- "like hell if that kid isn't going to get up to the most trouble in the universe with them gone. He probably already has. Laraki taught him well." HAHHA awww ;;;
- "Don't we deserve to get shit-faced one night?" Laraki questions. "If we're going to die it's the least the Capitol owes us."

Aidan blinks. "I've never been…" im gonna shriek bruh. is aidan the same age slash younger than him? fucking HYSTERICAL dynamic
- "I'm going to get you drunk once before we get shipped off, you mark my words." HELAOPFKKV
- "Frankly, the Capitol is lucky to get such a hefty dose of them." i really fw laraki theyre a real shithead
- "Put together though it may be, the emptiness says it all. The Capitol isn't so different from Six after all, nor the rest of the world.

They're all tired, aren't they?" fucking FASCINATING dude
- exceptionally delicious glimpse of ravi and aidan as mentors. god bless

brooke :heart:

- i love record keeping its one of those things that are just so Human. like yes i want evidence that things happened and people lived
- oop thats what the hg gets for being a complainerrrrr
- not an assistant womppp
- oh my gosh? is this toxic hets or toxic yuri
- damn the capitol FINALLY felt sick about this?
- t. is a very optimistic hopeful and uplifting person

super super intriguing short bit. something is Shifting in the nation... that last games really did a number on everyones psyche huh! no shit. really wonder how they'll navigate it for another year this time around! Ha Ha.

brooke :heart:

i miss bob

Love it 3

god watching these GM's lose their shit is so fucking funny. i have no choice but to believe that elide will drop dead by the end of this fic considering her attitude. also theora... i know what you are :homophobic_dog: hehe. umm i love when sisters... they are precious even tho they're doing evil deeds and petrova created richard and the demon birds from the d12 arena. idc she's cunt.

ARACELI MADE ME QUITE SAD TBH! i miss bob he was just a little baby this was terrible i wanted to cry wtf

oough omg... ending the games.. thats a bold step for catriona to take, damn :0 makes sense though given. gestures to mvo. but how many more years..? :eyes: weve got aidan already.. ik u wrote mel but idk what year she is oops. a few more years it seems.. the gms being so pissed though bvhjdfbvh thats too funny. elide really wants to get herself killed.. join weston at the bottom of the 100th arena..

excited to see how this all develops, its really neat so far :eyes: definitely not what i was expecting :D

I love your political intrigue...I wonder what the other Elites have to say about her ending things though? Are people that fervent as to not part ways after 101 years of Games? I'd imagine people would be tired...unless something sparks their interest again.

MOMO WORDS YAYYY

This is a deeply fascinating development... cat is maybe the only president with sense and morals but everyone around her shitting themselves is deeply funny. interested abt what this means for vam. nobody dies games? simulation games? who knows... The plot thickens...

but how are u gonna do a syot if there's no hunger games ? make it make sense!

i want to get drunk with laraki

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

mady's family lore made me ill and SICK! so so fucking SICK! that's so grim and equally grim was my expression reading all of that because wtf i am miserable. So so miserable. she thinks she can win... she fucking thinks she can win and she gets so close and then fucking AIDAN! love that kid tho. ravi being like "omg yay this isn't elith" then realizing thats a shit take makes me :( like yeah ravi that's true and i think he is simply trying so hard to be a good mentor but he dunno. the line about them all betting on pietro made me miserable also btw

LARAKI IS THE COOLEST BITCH OF ALL TIME! god i love them so much i missed them so much. aidan really has never had fun in his life (affectionate) i just... sighs so loudly i miss them so much still even tho i just heard from them. them saying aidan is a good person and not knowing that he is abt to do a lot of not good things is making me make little bitch noises /derogatory. i hope some day aidan learns how to party, same goes with ravi. but like they will not. again with the capitol being all games'd out. oh we love to see it.

yum yum yum what delicious words. thank u so much for writing them.

Oh my god.. mady and laraki waaaugh ;-; i love the connecting theme of both mady and laraki thinking their respective victors (ravi and aidan) are good people.. really good ;-; poignant and cutting as always ;-; such a treat to see all of these guys again, even if its bittersweet for some. "No matter how vicious the fall one of them suffers may be it will have been worth it in the end." side eyes u real hard. good one.. :sob:
