from a young age, pluto knew of their family history. the highbottoms are credited with the creation of the hunger games, and it’s something that they are in no way proud of. casca was said to have also hated the idea of them behind closed doors, one day hoping that they would die out from their horrific nature and not become the now perverted idea of entertainment for the masses of their country.
jupiter instilled the same thoughts into his son growing up. the games aren’t something to idolise, plu. you know that, you’re smarter than that. and although the highbottoms kept their political views to themselves, they still had to save face. after all, being such an illustrious name within high capitol society, all eyes were on them at all times. snow made sure of that.
pluto grew up under the public eye, and although it’s not something that they’d wish upon anyone, it’s something that he’s thankful happened. it helped him when it came to forming how to act around others, how to be ‘false’, how to weave in and out of conversations with much-to-do’s and plenty-to-say’s. and although their family very much inwardly didn’t agree with the goings on within the capitol and their such blatant disregard for the people outside of their wealthy city, they had to save face. it’s why they became a renowned sponsor, reviewing their options for that years tributes to give at least one kid a fighting chance of making it out alive.
however, over the years, this wasn’t enough for pluto. seeing what the elite were doing to the poor, innocent kids who were being made to “pay” for “crimes” such as wanting freedom, wanting food, wanting shelter against a city that wasn’t willing to give it to any of them whilst expecting their resources to be shipped to them first hand was absolutely abhorrent to him. i need to do something, he said. you can’t, snow’ll kill you quicker than sniping a mockingjay out of the sky with a sniper, his father protested. they couldn’t be seen to be outwardly helping the districts. so, what better way to lend a hand to them than pulling the weight of their name and landing themselves a spot as an escort.
still, eyes were upon him. growing suspicions of a second uprising were on the horizon, and venomous eyes looked towards a newfound eager escort who was wanting to be placed within one of the lower districts to prove themselves. no, that wouldn’t do. they needed to be in the spotlight, needed to be a shining star. he was, of course, pluto highbottom. he deserved the best-- or that’s the way that it was explained to him four years ago as he took up the spot as the escort for district one. usually, an escort would work their way up through the districts. safe to say it painted somewhat of a target on his back was a bit of an understatement, especially since district one was known as a veritable “miniature capitol”. no matter, he could do exactly what he needed to do right under their noses.
four years, pluto has worked for district one. four years, he has been using an encrypted phone to funnel information directly to district thirteen in aid of the soon-to-come uprising. for four years, he has been planning the downfall of the very institution that his ancestor helped build. and soon, he’ll see it done. of that, he is sure.
