It took a lot of doing, but Bolt finally managed to find some obscure rabbit-meat enthusiasts in the Capitol. They were strange, even by the standards Bolt was used to with sponsors. He was out of his depth with these people, but most of his normal set weren't too impressed with Beatrix, especially coming on Kobe's heels. So, he ventured out further. "She'll be glad to come to speak with your organization," he promised the whiskered woman in front of him. "She'll go through the whole process, with plenty of rabbit meat to share for everyone." Rabbit meat was something of a blind spot for Bolt, at least as far as District 10 knowledge went, but he was sure they could work out whatever they promised on the one in a million chance Beatrix came out a Victor. The woman's whiskers twitched. Bolt couldn't tell if it was a good twitch or a bad twitch. "Of course, she'll only be able to if we keep her strength up, which is where you'll come in…" He went through a basic sponsor pitch, prepared to answer any sponsorship or games-related questions the twitching woman might have...but all she did was twitch. When she did speak, her voice was a soft purr. "Does she show respect?" Bolt stared. "For...the rabbits? Yes, sure, of course." "Do you? We will tolerate no disrespect for our beloved creatures." The beloved creatures you...eat. And emulate. Sure, why not. "They're great." "Is she a True Believer?" Her whiskers were, for once, perfectly still. At this, Bolt actually smiled. He didn't know what they Truly Believed, but he was sure that Beatrix would gladly tell them anything they wanted to hear. "We haven't talked about beliefs, but I'm sure hers align with yours quite well. She'll tell you all about them--if you sponsor her." |
