Morning guys!
Either of those injury options for Catullus could work, I like the organ thing cos it’s like... it’s still this hellish thing he can’t escape but it’s also slowly killing him? Like he can keep going and insulting the Capitol but he’ll be put back in front of the camera again right after and the more he does it the closer and closer it’ll get to actually killing him this time. It’s like a gamble.
I’ll write something for that? Explaining what happens to him)

Catullus sat in a chair in a dimly-lit room, bleeding from a cut lip and with bruised skin. His makeup was smudged, and there were a couple of rips in his clothes. He hadn’t exactly been treated carefully.
The president sat across from him, on the other side of a table.
“You know, Burton, I don’t like to be interrupted,” he said, his voice uncomfortably calm “I really don’t. And I had to rush here from my house and leave my work all because of your rather idiotic outburst back there.” President Louden said
Catullus said nothing, simply looked the man in the eyes.
“It’s a shame, really, you were doing so well. It’s embarrassing after you’d learned your lesson so well nine years ago.” he continued “But I do believe there’s an appropriate punishment for you that should help you remember to behave in the future.”
“Wait,” Catullus asked “you’re not going to kill me?”
His voice was different from the one he used on television. Quieter and calmer, without the clipped Capitol accent he used for the cameras.
“Oh, dear boy, of course not.” the president laughed
I should be so lucky, Catullus thought bitterly
“No, at least not right now. I have no intention of creating a martyr of you for the districts, and besides it is an awfully tiresome process hiring new hosts for the Games,” the man continued
“So, then what exactly do you intend to do to me?” Catullus asked “I don’t have any family left for you to kill.”
The president just smiled, and clicked his fingers. The door opened and an Avox, a young woman, entered the room. In her hand was a small glass of pink liquid, which she placed on the table before hurriedly excusing herself.
“You should be thankful for this, really,” Louden said “I am showing you more mercy than I should. There were suggestions that I have you become an Avox or lock you up for the rest of your days and torture you.”
Catullus knew this was not mercy. Whatever was coming next would be a punishment tailored exactly for him
“I am going to make you drink that,” the president smiled “now and every single time in the future you put a foot wrong in front of those cameras.”
“And if I don’t?”
“I’ll find someone you still care about. Perhaps Livia Pulcheria; you two are old friends. Perhaps the young victor, Mallory, or her family. She’s been through a lot and you see yourself in her. I’m sure you’d hate it if she were punished because of the actions of someone she doesn’t even know.”
Catullus looked at the liquid, his eyes meeting the president’s. He swallowed.
“Alright. What does it do?” he asked
“Ah, well I’m particularly proud of this one. It’s a rather slow-acting poison, but one nonetheless. It won’t kill you, not in this dosage, but it slowly wreaks havoc on your organs. If you keep having to drink it, eventually they’ll just...shut down. And I assure you, Mr Acton, that it’s an excruciatingly painful death. You do not want to continue to defy the Capitol.”
“And you’re going to have me continue to host the Games to make some sort of statement? It’s going to make me look ill?”
The president smiled another slow, lazy smile.
“Precisely. I forget you’re a smart man, you do your job well. Now, drink.”
Catullus didn’t have a choice. He waited for a moment, but then reached out, picking up the glass. He lifted it to his lips and began to drink, ignoring how it burned his cut lip.
He had been right; this punishment was Catullus’ own personal torture. If he continued to speak out against the Capitol he would continue to suffer and slowly die. He was going to send a message out for them, he was going to be the Capitol’s puppet again.
It tasted vile, and as soon as he began to drink he felt sick, finding himself gagging a couple of times.
“That’s right, keep it down. Can’t have you vomit half of it up again.”
By the time he would be back to host the victor’s tour, he would look much different. He would look much thinner and paler, his skin taking on unhealthy hues of yellow or grey. He would have dark circles beneath his eyes from sleepless nights. He would just look incredibly ill and would be in constant pain. The makeup artists would be ordered to stop putting makeup on him so that all of Panem could see what was happening to him.
But Catullus? He didn’t care. Because he wasn’t giving up.

When she him during the Victor’s tour she’s going to be so upset with his condition.)

(Hmmm...
For the next games, I’m going to probably have 4 characters?
I did districts 3, 5, and 7 this time. Next time I want a career district for one of my boys. Probably district 6 for Kayra(if I keep her). Maybe 12 for Alessandro. I was thinking Holly would be most likely District 8, but I’m sure someone else already probably wants that, since it’s Burton’s district(and oops did I forget that XD). I’m sure I can move her to 11 or 5?)

(Yeah for me for the next games obvs I have Burton, District 8
Now I am probs only gonna have one or two other characters to go along with him because I’m gonna get involved with stylists and stuff like that and other fun stuff and also cos I have the victor and I wanna focus on Burton.
BUT! I have three girls I can use and I may end up using them all. But if we al have four characters I’ll probably only use two girls and have another guy to keep it even? Not sure
Macaria, District 2 (probably). She’s my evil manipulative sneaky gal Amadrya, District 7 (probably). She’s my hardcore warrior gal Astrape, District 5 (probably). I don’t know much about her but she seems cool.
So I don’t know if anyone has any thoughts on which of those they wanna see. I will probs use two of these girls and add another guy)

(Planned characters.
Rocky in District 1 or 2. He’s my big buff dude. He’s a fighter, and a brute. Classical dude form a career district, wants the fame of winning, and to make his family proud.
Holly in District 8. She’s a creative girl, who is very comedic and sardonic, and good in survival situations. She’s very agile, and very fast compared to any of my others.
Lyra in District 6.
Alessandro in District 12.
These are planned and I can change them if you want me to :3.)

No problem x anyways I’m gonna go to bed but if there’s anything you wanna do with our characters (literally whatever you want, if there’s anything fun you want to explore) then I’m happy to do so, and I’ll be back in the morning for any responses/chatting/planning)
