DUNK A HO


Anyone walking into the tribute center will notice the sign with those three words, flashing in bright neon pink and exploding into rainbows before flashing again. It sits above a dunk tank, an arrow pointing down at the person sitting in on a little platform in the tank, still dry, grinning eagerly at anyone who happens to walk by. A bin of tennis balls is a few feet from the tank, waiting for someone to grab and toss at the target to dunk her.

In her opinion, it's been entirely too long since they've all had a bit of fun, and she's more than happy to encourage it, even at her own expense. Holly benefits as well, of course. She's recently bought some new waterproof makeup, and she's looking for a way to test it- this obviously the way to go about it.

"Come one, come all!" she says loudly, "Try your hand at dunking a ho! I'm far too dry, doesn't anybody wanna make me a little wet?" This will be followed up with a giggle and an exaggerated wink, and she'll continue trying to entice people until someone finally decides to come and dunk a ho.

"You've certainly gotten that out of me." Flirting with a Capitol citizen always has the air of danger to it, as if it sheds light on the difference in power here. Even feminized, giggling, dangling over a dunk tank, Holly Day has more sway in this city than Tom could ever hope to have.

Unless he wins.

He takes one of the balls to throw at the dunk tank. "Ah, how very efficient of you. And here you look so self-sacrificing, lassie, and it's all a ploy to help you, what's the term you lot use. 'Beat your face'."

He grins. "You're sure there won't be any hard feelings?"

"I wouldn't be much of a world traveler if I couldn't pick up on local dialect," he says, smoothing his mustache before he tosses the ball hand to hand.

"I'd say you're being unladylike but we know that's far from the truth." With relatively perfect aim, he throws the ball at the target and sends Holly into the water with a momentous splash of petticoats.

"Never trust someone who's done time as an assassin to miss." He picks up another of the balls and twirls it on his fingers, craning his head curiously to see Holly's makeup. She looks ridiculous, like a drowned rat, but it's true, the waterproof eye decoration has stayed on flawlessly.

"Bless your country's technology, Miss Day. Whatever will they come up with next?" It really is surprising and impressive what the Capitol is capable of, and Tom's familiar enough with the nature of human history to know that the materials being studied for waterproof makeup could unlock the secrets of renewable jet fuel in another context. Human ingenuity is one of the few things that regularly impresses him.
