a kiss to all the world

chapter fourteen - keunil

read on for a snippet!

It's the first time in his career as mentor that Keunil has been dragged up to interviews on opening night. Usually, it's reserved for the most popular Victors or the mentors of who made the biggest splash. But this year, those happen to converge. Jooyeon is the most popular Victor right now, and Hyeongjun is the tribute who made a splash. The only reason Keunil is here is because Ode made waves of his own, and now all three tributes are tangled in a doomed alliance.

Keunil feels sick, but he smiles placidly at the live audience, lifting a hand in a little wave to some swooning woman who has bright orange skin - one of his diehard sponsors. He's bad at names.

Most of the crowd is here for Jooyeon's words, not his, Keunil knows. Surveying the stage reveals Augustus Flickerman beaming in his red and gold suit and Jooyeon sitting at the other end of the couch, his legs crossed and lounging back casually. Compared to Gunil who is far too stiff for his own liking, those two were made for stage.

“Welcome, welcome!” Augustus grins with perfect teeth. Keunil sits up a little straighter and keeps that tiny, placid smile on his lips. There's a screen to the side of the stage playing the live footage of the Games, although nothing much is happening. The anthem has already played, and their trio of tributes are eating fish by the fire they built as night sets in. “The mentors of our bloodbath stars! How are you feeling?”

chapter thirteen: ode

read on for a snippet!

“It was far,” Hyeongjun murmurs, his voice incredibly deep and husky with sleep. It's incredibly attractive, and Ode has the brief image of waking up to that morning voice saying his name softly - his Hanguk name. He flushes deeply, and he's glad the fire light isn't enough to make it obvious. “If I hadta guess, the Careers are huntin’,” he mumbles groggily. “Or else, there's some beasts in this forest.”

“I don't doubt there's beasts,” Ode agrees. He's talking about animals, about Mutts, about the Careers too, and Hyeongjun knows it from the wry grin he gives him, his eyes glowing orange with the flames.

the new aktatw chapter hasn’t left my mind since i read it like just imagine the absolute chaos going on in the capitol as the audience see the self proclaimed ‘grim reaper’ crying and throwing up after killing. also the fucking promise at the end man

the audience see a very curated version, though...how much did they even see? the gamemakers edit everything for ~drama~
