"Guns?" Haymitch snorts. That'll be the day - guns would make the Games entirely too clean and humane. "Who the hell needs guns, kid? Hell, it's a good year when you get real weapons - there was that one all they had was building rubble. Damn thing took forever." He hoped for a whole five days that his female tribute was going to win that year. She was smart, she was crafty... but that brute from Two got his hands on a pipe from somewhere, and that put paid to her.

"Get weapons, sir?"

He knows he's missing useful context but the man doesn't seem to believe that he's somewhere else.

"In the Arena? God, did I fall somewhere and crack my head?" Usually his hallucinations are more with it - usually they know entirely too much. Things he'd rather never hear.

"No, sir, unless you did that before you came through. You're just somewhere else and I ain't from your world,"

Maybe one of these times it will actually get through.

He sighs, and decides that maybe if he rants at this kid, maybe, just maybe, things will turn familiar.

Maybe.

He hates it when he gives in and yells at the kids.

(They're kids.)

"Which part are you missing? The bloodbath of the Hunger Games, the fact you're young enough to be in them, or the fact you don't get away from them even if you win?"

The yelling is familiar to William, most of his arguments with his father involved yelling,

"I ain't from a world with any sort of games. We had the War which was enough of a bloodbath and my Pa got shot cause some men are just killers."

"Oh, so you're supposed to be some rebel kid? Fantastic, just fantastic - well, thanks so much for the world your daddy left us. Would have been better to just nuke humanity into non-existence." Why no, Haymitch is not thankful for the survival of the human race.

Humans can be monsters too.

"Shit, my Pa fought for the Union!"

He stands up and heads towards the door, he's had enough of this stupid conversation.

[pickledtribute]

"Yeah, and now we've got a world where kids fight for entertainment - tell me how that's so wonderful, kid." Haymitch shouts back - at his current level of inebriation, he has no problem with arguments carried out over a distance.

William's answer is slamming the front door and getting stared at on the other side.
