Who| Everyone
What| A chance for the teams to meet, mingle, and, lets be honest, for goodbyes to be said.
Where| The common area.
When| Evening before the attack, about a day after Creuntus' network announcement.
Warnings/Notes| Time is going to be a little more wonky then normal, if you haven't noticed. They will be going out to attack "tomorrow" but that thread will not, likely, be posted tomorrow, to give people time to play in this one, etc.

There is food and drink, plenty of it, but no decoration, and it is clear this "party" is no sort of celebration. There is the small spattering of Peacekeepers still in the Capitol, those not on duty at the edge of the boundary.

A long table at the front has a set up for each team. Everyone has a folder with who is in their team, who is watching their team, a list of the various weapons they will have. On the list is a flame thrower, a handful of small explosives, and an automatic weapon for each team member. There are no weapons laid out for the Tributes to handle, however - those were waiting for them elsewhere, for when the mission truly started. Nor does the folder mention that the weapons all switch off outside of the combat area, but it's also not a secret, or a surprise.

Each folder also includes the rather useless stats and images they have of the creatures-the photos are blurry, the stats mainly stack up to "they are very deadly" and a collection of the various bits of information put forth by other tributes who seem to know more then the Capitol. Last, a detailed map of both the neighborhood, and the tunnels for them to study.

Another table has folders for the intel, with much of the same information. Last, a third table is set up for those that are staying at home. Those folders contain some basic first aid information, and a list with what sort of basic medical supplies and food stuff is in the training center.

Each table set up has an Avox or two to hand out the folders. Creuntus is no where to be seen, and you would be lucky to catch any of her team. She knows where she doesn't want to be. The furniture has been dragged to facilitate the conversation of small to medium sized groups. Say, about the size of a team and their Intel.

Medical

Basic first aid. That's what the Capitol's folders for the medical teams held. Splints and tourniquets and the proper care for minor wounds.

Wesker's mouth pulled into a sneer as he tossed the packet aside (the avox that had handed it to him jerked, a shuddering flinch). Basic first aid.

They were sending civilians and children out to fight a war against an unknown enemy that, thus far, had torn through their trained troops like a hot knife through butter. And that was what they had to look forward to, should they manage to survive the initial blow.

Even he had seen that his men and women had the best, knowing the intrinsic value as he did of their confidence. It was all the harder to send someone to their death if they knew that's what it was.

He certainly hoped for the sake of the combat teams there were more tributes like himself - those who knew what to do with the guts and gore - remaining behind.

Pruna had found her way to this table because she was curious. She didn't know much about healing or saving people. Her skills were mostly based on keeping people alive; so that they could be tortured further. It had helped her with Sandy's leg in the arena but she was sure these aliens would be worse than metal teethed leg eaters. She was interested on how they planned to heal them if things went wrong.

She saw Wesker and gave him a small grin as she picked up one of the folders that lay discarded on the table and began to flick through it. She frowned darkly. "This do be being stupid, I do be knowing all of this."

Wesker's mouth pulled at the corner, as close to an honest smile as he got.

He was quite fond of Pruna. The girl had such potential.

"Great minds, dear heart." She'd taken the words out of his mouth - if less eloquently. "Fortunately, I do happen to know more."

"You will be teaching them right? To the other people because I do no be thinking this." She shook the file, "Will be helping." Seriously the stupid book on making babies was probably more informative than these.

[personal profile] president_evil 2013-09-29 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm afraid one day is hardly enough time to teach anyone the ins and outs of the human body." He smile widened. "But I assure you, you will be in ready hands, should you come to me."

He was, it went without saying, far more capable than the Capitol had proved themselves to be.
knifewithnoname: (thinking)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-09-29 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"I will be making sure I do be then." She hoped she didn't need it, that she would be a good enough fighter to not be injured.

But since they had next to no information and Pruna had never even held the weapon they wanted her to use... It was going to be tough.

[personal profile] president_evil 2013-09-30 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course, the best action would be to avoid injury all together."

His head dipped down, one slitted red-gold eye peering at her over the rim of his ebony glasses.

"I would advise making that a priority."
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-09-30 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
"I will be doing my best." This was why she was trying to gather information, to know as much as she could so that she could survive this, without being hurt.

She gave a tiny smile as she watched the other people in the room, "I do no be thinking many people will be surviving this."

Glass sliding up over his eye again, he joined her in eyeing their fellows, mentally cherry-picking which he didn't expect to see again.

(Other than in pieces, if they were so lucky.)

"A word of advice, Pruna," he drawled. "And I would expect, being as clever as you are, you already know it, but forgive me in stressing its importance." His fingers tapped against his closed folder, a lazy drumming heartbeat. "You neededn't be the fastest of your group, only faster than the slowest."

Survival of the fittest.

Wesker's golden rule.

She nodded seriously, "That do be being like what Sandy did be saying." She nodded, so she did already know it but she nodded. It was important.

"I will be remembering it, I do be promising." She would survive, she was good at surviving.

He smiled, that shark's grin.

"There's a good girl." Then he shifted, hands knitting on the tabletop before him, eyes - so far as one could tell with the dark glasses - fixed on her. "Now tell me, who will be assisting you?"
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-10-01 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Cindy, Julie," She wrinkled her nose, "And Barbara, I do only be knowing Barbara, she do be useless." If Wesker recognised the name he would know her as someone Pruna had killed in the last arena. "I do no be knowing the other two, I do be looking for them." She hoped they could at least fight.
president_evil: (weskerSmile)

[personal profile] president_evil 2013-10-01 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A tilt of the pale, blond head.

"Cindy, yes, she's one of mine. Capable, though thus far, disappointing." Julie... District 12 he believed, and close with the infected - R - but he had nothing else of note on her. "Barbara..."

His mouth pulled. He did indeed recognize that name.

"Another one of mine." That he himself had also killed. On his way to victory one arena prior. "And you're not wrong."
knifewithnoname: (listening)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-10-02 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
She wrinkled her nose, disappointed was not good though hopefully she was actually capable and just needed something to make her be good at what she did.

"She will probably be dying, hopefully she will be dragging no one else with her."
president_evil: (weskerSmirk2)

[personal profile] president_evil 2013-10-02 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
"No one of any importance, at least," he drawled, sounding almost amused at that.

Wesker would weep tears for none, but some even less than others.

knifewithnoname: (thinking)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-10-03 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Most people do be being stupid anyways." She shrugged looking around again, in her mind as long as she survived, and Sandy survived, it would be a success.
president_evil: (weskerGlasses)

[personal profile] president_evil 2013-10-03 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
His mouth twitched, pulling at one corner.

It was something of surprise, considering he'd never been one for children, but he did so like Pruna. They had much in common.

"But not you." He fixed her with that stare again, lenses dark pits in his pale face. "Stay low, be aware, and don't let them drag you down to their level."
knifewithnoname: (smiles)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-10-03 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
"I will be surviving." She grinned, "Do no you be doubting it." She thumbed through the file one more time before putting it back on the table. "I did be being trained to no be being stupid."

"I.. think I'm supposed to be over here." It's where the Avox had pointed her anyway. She had watched from the barricade when they had pulled the few bodies they had brought up out. The red head was still trembling, clearly not fit for combat in this condition.

"I know some first aide, patched up Tony enough times, but... That's just bumps and bruises so..."

"Then you are on par with our benevolent hosts," Wesker drawled coolly.

Looking through the list of tributes who had signed up to remain behind, Wesker's opinion was sinking by the minute - quite the feat when one considered he'd never valued them very highly to begin with.

Why, exactly, were the medically trained allowed be assigned elsewhere?

"Luckily, I'm sure we can still find use for you."

His head lifted, attention fixing on the trembling child before him.

Of course.

"Do you know what triage is?"
wantsajetpack: (heal my wounds)

[personal profile] wantsajetpack 2013-09-30 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
She frowned at that, she'd hope that she was a little better than their hosts, at least she was willing to get her hands dirty even if she didn't like it.

"Hope so." She nodded. "Helps determine on the field who's worth the time and effort to save their life and who should just be made comfortable because they're about to die. It's commonly used on battle fields or in locations where there are too many patients and not enough doctors." She sounded like she was quoting from a history book. Her eyes didn't meet Wesker's, she was a little creeped out by him actually. She had been since the first time she saw him sitting on his dragon thrown.

Behind the lenses, the ruby-gold eyes narrowed.

"It is also used for the initial treatment of wounds and the stabilization of patients before being taken in for surgery."

His head tipped.

"But that is satisfactory. Your skills will be of use there."

That he had assumed command was of so little concern him to him, he was no more aware of the action than he was of breathing. Some men had power thrust upon them, others took it.

Those like himself, were born to it.

Hey she had no problem with given orders, she'd follow them as long as they kept her busy for now. And the monsters, yeah that was going to keep her out of trouble. Besides she's only really good at Tony wrangling, and not the Tony here. Though she had a feeling he'd probably be relieved that she wasn't going out there.

"Are they setting up the area now or we supposed to wait still?"
president_evil: (weskerWorking)

[personal profile] president_evil 2013-10-01 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"One would hope," Wesker sighed, pushing a hard breath through his nose and he flicked through the list of tributes who would be remaining behind, searching for Pepper's name. "But you will notice, I'm not holding my breath."

Pulling a slim, handsome pen from an inside pocket of his fitted coat, Wesker scratched a small mark next to Pepper's name - a mental note in shorthand.

He had no intention of checking up on her, but should something go wrong, he would remember well who to blame.
wantsajetpack: (Default)

[personal profile] wantsajetpack 2013-10-04 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well she at least checked in. Now to go see what she'd be doing exactly. She's so glad she talked her stylist into sneakers, because boots would be way too heavy to run around in and she had a feeling she'd be doing a lot of that.
