Why does wireless say tick tock

Following her victory, she, alongside Beetee, would go on to presumably serve as mentors for several District 3 tributes in the years that followed. Whether or not as a result of her experiences during her own games, Wiress' mental state deteriorated significantly by the time of Third Quarter Quell.

Being a victor of a previous Hunger Games, she was reaped into the 75th Hunger Games along with Beetee , who became her partner. During the chariot rides , Wiress and Beetee were dressed with studded electrical lights, signifying District 3's electrical profession. During the interviews in the film adaptation, she wore a multicolored long sleeved shirt and matching pants. Wiress and Beetee participated in training prior to the actual games, concentrating on the fire-making station, where Katniss met them for the first time.

Wiress was able to identify a "chink" in the invisible force field surrounding the Gamemakers , impressing Katniss, and causing her to want to team up with District 3. Wiress survived the initial Cornucopia bloodbath , and she and Beetee managed to escape with the help of Johanna Mason and Blight , and they headed into the one to two o' clock section.

During the first night of the games, Wiress was able to realize at once the clock like design of the arena, due to the twelve bell tolls, and attempted to communicate this with her allies. However, Johanna dismissed her theory as her acting crazy. As the disasters began, they were caught in a blood rain torrent, and Blight was killed after he ran headfirst into the force field.

Katniss treated and cared for her and Beetee, washing the blood off their bodies. Wiress was splashing in the shallows after Katniss helped treat her wounds. Beetee, however, had wounds that were more serious, having been stabbed by Enobaria during the bloodbath. Wiress continued to try to communicate, uttering, "Tick, tock" every so often.

Eventually, Katniss figured out what she meant, concluding the arena's design, and causing Wiress relief. On Day 2 of the 75th Hunger Games, a large spool of wire was specifically placed in the arena by Plutarch Heavensbee , so Beetee could destroy the force field surrounding the arena, and consequentially Katniss' alliance could leave the arena.

After Katniss figured out the arena was a clock, Wiress went to clean the wire for Beetee, in the water surrounding the Cornucopia. While she cleaned the wire she sang the song 'Hickory Dickory Dock', a children's song that seemed to please her. When the song stopped, it alerted Wiress' allies of impending danger.

Startled, the boy springs away from the table, looking on in dismay as he says the now iconic line: "Oh no! Here's a clip of the original :. Reply to valleysuperstar meme viral fyp.

In September, some TikTok users started posting videos of themselves moving parts of their face, like their temple or dimple, to the sounds of the clip. Kayla Johnson: And over the course of about a week, those neck tics became more frequent and more severe, to the point where my ear was almost touching my shoulder and my neck would be so sore I could barely turn it from it happening constantly.

Every 10 minutes I'd have a two minute just spasm of my neck like not being able to move. Kate Linebaugh: These tics started happening to Kayla all the time at home, at school, in the car, in bed. And they were quickly getting worse. It very quickly became more severe. For a while I couldn't even go upstairs to my bedroom without my parents being there because we didn't know what was going to happen. Kate Linebaugh: For many months, the doctors she went to weren't sure what was happening either.

Kayla Johnson: We were bouncing between doctors, bouncing between every kind of doctor, and everyone was just like, "I feel sympathy for you. This is horrible. But I have no idea what it is. This isn't really in my field.

Go talk to this person. Kate Linebaugh: Eventually in September, over nine months after the tics first started, Kayla visited a doctor who specialized in movement disorders.

And when this doctor looked at Kayla. Kayla Johnson: He said, I know exactly what this is. I've had 65 girls in the last year come in with the same things, with the same symptoms you're having, all starting around October, November of Kate Linebaugh: Then the doctor told Kayla where he thought her tics were coming from.

He believed they were linked to videos she'd watched from TikTok. Welcome to The Journal, our show about money, business, and power. I'm Kate Linebaugh. It's Monday, November 8th. Coming up on the show, the sudden rise of tics in teen girls and why TikTok may be playing a role. Over the last year, in the US and in other parts of the world, there's been a sharp rise in the number of teen girls seeking medical help for new unexplained tics.

Carolina Olvera: We would typically maybe see, I mean, one a month, let's say. But we were getting multiple a week. If you look at one a month versus multiple a week, that's still a big increase.

So we were looking at 30 plus girls that were coming in with this when we would only see 10 or so a year. Kate Linebaugh: Tics are often associated with Tourette's Syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes people to make involuntary movements or sounds. But Caroline says these teens didn't look like typical Tourette patients. First, they were mostly girls, but Tourette's Syndrome is more common in boys. Second, the girls were in their late teens and Tourette's Syndrome typically presents at a younger age.

Plus, the tics themselves look different. Can you describe these movements for us? Carolina Olvera: They're very severe, very disruptive, causing a lot of issues for these girls.

These girls could not even talk to us while they're having these tics. So a lot of them were big kind of arm movements.

They were flinging. There was a lot of shouting and cursing, which you do, I think like a Tourette's patient that you see in movies, you often hear them swearing or shouting things out, that's not very typical of a Tourette's patient.

But that's what we were seeing come into the clinic. Kate Linebaugh: At first, Caroline and her colleagues wondered if the cases could be the result of stress related to the pandemic. Most of the patients had already been diagnosed with other mental health disorders like depression or anxiety. Carolina Olvera: Every one of our neurological patients during the pandemic has not been doing well and their conditions have been worsening.

So I think initially, maybe we were thinking it's like some pandemic stress like we're seeing in all these other disorders, but then TikTok started to be brought up by these girls. Kate Linebaugh: The girls told Caroline they'd been watching a lot of TikTok videos of people with involuntary tics. Caroline wasn't on TikTok, but decided to set up an account so she could take a look at these videos. What she saw surprised her.

Carolina Olvera: Looking at the videos, they looked like the girls that were coming in, they were the same age, just doing the same movements, the same vocalizations. They looked just so similar, it was very striking. Kate Linebaugh: It was so striking that Caroline wanted to show the other doctors at our clinic what she was seeing.

So at a team meeting Caroline made a presentation and played a bunch of these videos for her colleagues. And how did your colleagues react? Carolina Olvera: They were like, "This is crazy. Kate Linebaugh: The doctors wanted to know whether there was some connection between these tic videos and their patients. So I had to actually, because at our hospital, they have the TikTok website blocked, they have a lot of websites like that blocked so people at work I guess can't go on them.

So I actually had to use my phone in a clinic, in my little cubicle, watching videos kind of all day long. And the hardest part was to try to find who is the most popular user or users that are putting out these videos. Because my assumption would be if you're one of the most popular users than people are more likely to be watching your videos, and these are the most popular movements or vocalizations that people are watching.

Kate Linebaugh: And Caroline found that some of the tics her patients had, mimicked the tics she saw in the most popular videos. Carolina Olvera: In terms of severity, the severity was a very striking one. There was some sounds that were similar. So a lot of them do like pop popping sounds or say Meow or the word beans is a very popular tic on TikTok. Carolina Olvera: And we were having girls come into our clinic saying that specifically.

And so there was very kind of unique tics that we were seeing on TikTok that were also coming into our clinic. Kate Linebaugh: And so you thought there was a connection between these videos and your patients. Carolina Olvera: There's a well established phenomenon with tic disorders and Tourette's that you can develop the tics, or not tics necessarily, but the movements of someone else that you're seeing, so you basically echo their movements or you echo their vocalization.

So there might be some element of that. And we know that that it happens with Tourette's. In terms of watching TikTok, and watching other people develop tics and then developing them yourself, I mean, I even felt like I was moving a little bit strangely after watching all of these videos or moving my head a little bit or blinking, and I don't have a tic diagnosis, so it was even happening to me and I'm not susceptible to that.

Kate Linebaugh: Our colleague Julie Jargon has been looking into why so many teens ended up watching these videos. She says it started with a community of people on TikTok talking about Tourette's Syndrome.

They were trying to de-stigmatize the condition and raise awareness about it. Julie Jargon: A lot of the videos are sort of lighthearted, they're videos of people baking, cooking, and showing how difficult it is to do some of those everyday tasks, while having physical tics.
