  1. Red the Shardchicken begins rampaging. It thinks it must win the Hunger Games.
  2. I believe you may be. We will help you in your quest for the sandwich.
  3. Red (the cognitive shadow) appreciates the song.
  4. A screech sounded through the arena as Red the Shardchicken was brought to life! "Squawkkkkkkkk!" It wanted bloooood.
  5. Red reappeared beside him, back from his long absence. He silently laid a comforting hand on his shoulder.
  6. "Good enough." Red murmurs. "You better keep your word."
  7. "And? What kind of people would we be if we just dished it right back? Send this kid to a slaughterhouse? We have to be better. We have to help." @TheRavenHasLanded
  8. Red punched Ryn in the face. "Luckily for us" he whispered so Cassian couldn't hear, "you can't die, so I can hurt you forever. This isn't the boy's fault. So you'll shut up for a minute." He raised his voice a bit. "Don't worry Cassian, I'll protect you. It's gonna be ok."
  9. Red appears as well, sitting on the other side of Cassian. "Hello! I'm Red. We've never met in person, but we've spoken before."
  10. Red realizes that the only way to stop the boy from becoming part of the games is to end them as soon as possible. I won't die a killer. But maybe I can die a hero. Red steps up to the edge of the chasm and screams to the sky: "Our society is broken, and it has been for a long time! But in the midst of this, if we come together maybe, just maybe, we can mend the pieces. Maybe we can offer healing to this country, even if it seems impossible. And if, despite our best efforts, we cannot fix things, I'll try anyway. I won't stop trying. I won't stop trying. I won't stop trying..." His voice cracks and fades as he begins to cry. Tears streaming down his cheeks, he steps off the edge and lets himself fall into the abyss. I'm sorry I couldn't be better Cassian. I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
  11. I have to tell him it's just a game. I can't let him get hurt. But I can't lie to him either. "It'll be alright Cassian, just run off to bed now! You're the best you know that right? You can be great! When you grow up you can help, ok?" Hopefully he remembers this-hopefully he can stop this whenever he's old enough. At least there was one sincere interaction before I probably die.
  12. "Cassian, don't say anything else, please! And Eddie? Is that you? He was helping me-punish me!"
  13. Storms. This is bad. This is very bad.
  14. "I think the screen people are happy with the one present they got buddy! Thanks though! No more switches-for real."
  15. Saaaaaame-I hate missing conference.
  16. Red's face pales as he hears Cassian's squeal. "No! No more switches!"
  17. Red jumped for joy when he saw no explosions and no one dead. He looked back up and saw Cassian grinning. It's good to see a happy kid. That doesn't happen nearly enough in this country.
  18. "Oh Cassian, it'll be alright. You did the best you could." That sky didn't look good-what has he done?
  19. "Wait! Flip mine instead! Not theirs! Please!" At least it can end well. I might help someone. Red had always wanted to be helpful.
