Caesar Flickerman Interviews Mike Painter

So, Dr. Painter, it’s been a while. How do you feel about being thrust back into the Arena after so long?

[drmikepainterironhill]

Yeah, that was… that was weird the last time, with the dinosaurs and the power outages and everything. And Detective Benson dying in the stampede and I. rex attack.

[thefandomgamesrebootcaesar]

That was a sad moment, wasn’t it?

Speaking of other Tributes, which victor you’re competing against this time around do you think will be your toughest opponent?

[drmikepainterironhill]

My brother. It was hard enough having to kill him once to stop him from... basically being a serial killer after being bullied so long after our dad walked out on us. The possibility of having to do it again is awful.

Watching from the Capitol

I’d been watching the Games on TV in the Capitol, hoping that Jessica would win.

It hurt to see that she didn’t. Yes, we’d only officially dated for a few months when we were 12, and then there was that almost-affair in late 2015/early 2016, but I still hated to see her die a second time.

[tfg-adanovak]

Training

For five minutes now, Elliot Stabler had been eyeing the two figures. His practice gun was on the bench beside him, safety on, as he wore an undecipherable look on his face. Casey noticed this. She set her baseball bat down before approaching him. Following the detective’s gaze, she also spotted the other pair training in the arena.

“Detective,” She looked at her colleague. But Elliot didn’t listen, so she slightly raised her voice, “Are you okay?”

[drmikepainterironhill]

I’d been called back to the Capitol to be one of the mentors for Training Week.

It’s not that I didn’t like Jessica Yolen (we’d been sort of a couple in sixth grade, and we’d had… sort of a close relationship again before I returned home to Iron Hill), but after what happened in the spring of 2016 with Candle Cove coming back, things were a bit strained.

The other two Tributes in the Training Arena didn’t help much.

[tfg-adanovak]

Casey sighed. It doesn’t help their training if Elliot just sits around with a cloud above his head. After finally convincing him to snap out of it and stand up, she found herself standing before Mike.

“Mr. Painter,” She greeted him, extending a hand as if she was meeting the opposing counsel for a case, “I’m ADA Casey Novak, and this is Detective Elliot Stabler,” The look Stabler regarded the other man with did not help at all.

[drmikepainterironhill]

“Oh, right, from over in the city,” I said. “Yeah, I’m sorry about Olivia during the last round. Great lady. I wish I could’ve done more, but seriously, who would’ve expected us to be attacked by dinosaurs?”

I didn’t bother to make things worse by trying to explain what happened with my twin brother, Eddie. Sure, he’d won the Games the round before me, but…

I’d been living just a bit further upstate from these members of the law from New York City since 1988, and had my child psychology practice actually there in the city for about a decade.

I know it was way out of their jurisdiction, but I’d technically been the one to kill my brother in our hometown in Ohio in 1988.

And that fact would make Detective Stabler hate and blame me more for his (apparent) partner’s death.

[tfg-adanovak]

Oh, that’s why.

Casey finally knew the reason for Elliot’s anger. And what Painter just said did anything but diminish it. She casted a glance at the detective, a silent warning to not blow steam at him. Her eyes returned to Mike, she was aware of the awkwardness that was developing. Luckily, and unluckily, Stabler broke it. “You’re sorry?” He raised his voice in disbelief. Casey held her arm out, in case the detective said anything else and moved. Fortunately he stayed where he was, as if he waited for a reasonable response.

[drmikepainterironhill]

“It’s not much, but I did try to wait on the motorcycle for her to catch up. The dinosaurs were too fast for her.” As on that day a couple months earlier, I hesitated before continuing. “I do still sometimes wish the two of us had switched positions, with her here and me dead. But then my brother, Eddie, would be the previous Victor to coach Jessica. Believe me, he’d have no trouble killing Olivia in this Training Arena for being the one to have won. And though it’s against the rules, he’d still probably try to kill the both of you before the Games even start.”

Caesar Flickerman Interviews Mike Painter

Mike, how have things been going since you left the Arena?

[drmikepainterironhill]

Well, I finally got to catch up with my brother, Eddie. I missed our birthday when I was there.

[thefandomgamesrebootcaesar]

Oh, right! Eddie! He won the Games the the time before you, didn’t he?

[drmikepainterironhill]

Yeah, I don’t know how he was able to do it, and so easily. The whole thing was rough for me.

The Final Two

Though it had been two and a half weeks since the Game Maker-induced storm and power outage in the Arena, all the dinosaurs had never been returned to their proper paddocks.

The I. rex, velociraptors, and T. rex all headed towards the final two Tributes at the edge of the cliff overlooking the Galimimus Valley.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

Just like that, all hell broke loose. I was up and fighting again, the dinosaurs chose this time to strike. Mike was behind me as I continued to fire my gun.

[drmikepainterironhill]

The ground shook as the large carnivores headed for us. But to be honest, I couldn’t tell if it was from the dinosaurs themselves, or if it was a trick from the Game Makers adding an extra set of dangers with an actual earthquake.

I wasn’t sure if Detective Benson could hear me, but I shouted to her that her gun would be no mach for such large creatures.

Then the ground gave way under my feet as I started after her. Between using the hook to dig into what ground I could and my free (injured) arm to grab onto the grass, I struggled to pull myself back up.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

It only took a precious split-second for me to help Mike get up from the edge of the cliff. I had heard his warning, now my gun is back in its holster. A dangerous plan was forming in my head, running through the dinosaurs to escape was suicide itself, but what other choice do we have?

[drmikepainterironhill]

And then the dinosaurs were almost upon us.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

“Run!” was all I could say. As if by miracle, I could see a clear line where we could beeline through to escape.

[drmikepainterironhill]

The two of us started sprinting towards the jungle.

And then Detective Benson tripped. And I hesitated a moment, trying to decide whether or not to help her.

Then I saw the dinosaurs backtracking to follow us, the velociraptors quickly coming towards us.

I’ll probably regret leaving the one Tribute who helped me from falling off the cliff, but I wasn’t about to get eaten. I ran further into the jungle.

This was a death match, after all.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

The raptors were right behind me when I finally stood up. Mike was far ahead. The dinosaurs were hot on my trail. I shot my gun at a few of them before running. When I finally was exhausted, I decided to hide behind one of the bushes. I prayed they won’t notice me.

[drmikepainterironhill]

I heard gunshots behind me and hoped Olivia was OK, though sense still told me that guns were effectively useless against these dinosaurs.

And then I came across a motorcycle. I could be wrong, but it seemed like the one I used during the storm to escape the velociraptors and then abandoned.

The fact that someone left it in the forest for me to use again seemed suspicious.

I was debating whether or not to try using it again, and if I should use it to go back for Detective Benson, when I heard movement coming towards me.

[drmikepainterironhill]

Apparently I’d hesitated long enough for Olivia to catch up to me... with the dinosaurs following her.

I started to climb onto the motorcycle to get away, trying to call Olivia over with me.

But then the I. rex moved in on her quickly.

I just sped off at that point, a cannon sounding as I tried to put distance between myself and the dinosaurs.

And I knew it was all over at that point. I was the last one to survive.

[drmikepainterironhill]

Where is everyone?

The past several days have been too quiet.

I’ve been situated outside the Aviary a while.

And I just saw someone in the jungle.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

For days I have been wandering around. I was in the jungle, then I saw Mike looking at me. I chose not to make it obvious I found him. I had to keep moving.

[channelzerojawbone]

Wherever Olivia went, I was a step ahead, trying to drive her back to the Aviary.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

Something was strange, as if I was being directed to places I didn’t want to go to. I would resist it, and eventually I reached the end of the jungle. Trusting my suspicions, my fingers closed around my gun.

[drmikepainterironhill]

I decided to see where Detective Benson was going. Of course, two things happened: Jawbone, or the Skin Taker, was there, and they’d somehow wandered to the edge of a cliff at the Galimimus Valley instead of backtracking to the Aviary.

Somehow, this seemed all too familiar to me.

I know that there were two Tributes between me and surviving the Arena. Part of me would’ve rather had Detective Benson as the final Tribute I’d deal with.

I took out the hook I’d grabbed at the Cornucopia and entered the fight that started. I know I’d ended up catching someone. I don’t know who it was, though.

[tfg-oliviabenson]

Once I saw Jawbone in front of me, I knew I had to fight. What was behind me would be certain death. And it won’t be mine. Shots rang out as I tried to get closer to Jawbone.

[drmikepainterironhill]

Apparently I’d hooked the Skin Taker. I soon heard a cannon, indicating his death.

Unfortunately, while in the fight, I’d been hit in the shoulder by one of Detective Benson’s bullets.
