Trying to comfort the newest kid to the dead club

That's what he was anyway. Even a victor died in someway. Most of the times it was sanity. Some like Jake managed to push through. Some like Roxy turned to Alcohol or morophine, to forget, for just a little while. If Terezi survived, she would probably end up like him or Roxy, few had the luck Jake had to not even remember.

Sitting in the train from a year ago he looked at the tribute across from him. She was always snarky. He remembered stealing from her a few times. Now he felt bad for it. Any misery he'd caused future tributes would make him feel guilty.

If not for the fact that he just had to tell them he didn't know what he was doing, then for the fact that he'd survived the games like he used to in eleven.

"So uh..." he cleared his throat,"I'm Dirk, you're mentor, I won't say the usual 'odds in favor' bs because the aren't. I will apologize for stealing from you before m-my g-games." Did his voice sound haughty? He really hoped it didn't. The stutter at the end hopefully added to the sincerity for what he was trying to do. Dear god how the fuck did he even survive.
