Quentin "Q" Continuum settles into his seat next to Flickerman, ready to commentate over another oh-so-exciting Hunger Games. Hopefully something interesting will actually happen this year. Hopefully the bartender this year remembers how to actually mix drinks. It's hard being Q.

"Think any of them will step off the pedestals early this year?" he drawls to Flickerman as some extremely forgettable gofer brings him his drink. Q takes a sip. Acceptable. He nods and waves the gofer away.

Caesar has just enough time to pull a disgusted face at the mere thought of that boy from 2 before he hears the final signal that they're going live.

When the cameras roll and the announcer calls off the intro, he's settled into his seat and wearing his usual bright, cheerful expression. A montage of Tributes plays on the screens beside them - clips from the Reaping, the interviews, glamour shots of the more... appealing ones in the mix.

"The 70th annual games. 70 years of this honored tradition. How exciting." He beams at the camera and Q in turn. "I hear - and this is just a rumor - that the Arena should dazzle this year."

"Dazzle? I should hope so," Q drawls, shooting a long suffering look out at the folks at home, "after all the time they have to work on each Arena."

Q folds his hands on top of the desk and leans forward. "Now then, I think we're just about ready for this year's crop of eager beavers to arrive."
