District Tours: Train Ride
Prior to their departure, the Tributes have to suffer a photoshoot, a few interviewers asking them a thousand questions about how excited they are, and more than a few members of their style teams asking the Tributes to bring back mementos. "Don't worry about quality, dears, we can get that all here - we want you to bring us souvenirs for the novelty of it!"
The day of the trip, Tributes are roused bright and early, well before sunrise, and driven in Peacekeeper vans to the train station. It's all rather dour, and not like the start of a vacation at all; if one didn't know what was going on, and if the Escorts and head Stylists weren't chattering excitedly, they might think they were being hauled off to a war zone.
The trains, on the other hand, are plush, fancy things, and there is one per District. There's a single blockaded car for cargo, another for maintenance, driving and Peacekeeping staff, and then several others which are open to the Tributes. A dinner car serves three meals and has small snacks available throughout the day. Another car is an entertainment center with a selection of Capitol-approved films, and a the last one is the Tributes' temporary room. It has a bunk bed for each with sheets that was a truly intense threadcount, and a single massage chair in the back. The Stylists, Mentors and Escorts sleep in the same car, although separated by a partition.
Unfortunately, all the Tributes have to share the sleeping quarters, and it's first-come, first-served.
For the most part, the trip is so smooth that the surface of a glass full of water would not be disturbed. The trips to the closer Districts are a little under a day, but the furthest Districts - 3, 4, 7, 8, 11 and 12 - take nearly 48 hours.
[OOC: For Tributes accepted during the District tours, you can assume they arrived before the departure so they can participate in the District festivities. During the train ride there is still network access. There will only be this post and the party post from the mods for this event, so players are encouraged to make their own of their characters exploring their surroundings and enjoying the Districts.]

Re: DISTRICT 9
"Fair enough, just remember that the "Other half" Are the ones who we're fighting for. If we win they win. If they like us then they send us shiny things. Sure they don't have as much money as the bubbleheads in the Capitol but I'd like to think I'll never forget the little people on my way to the top~" She winked.
Re: DISTRICT 9
"I never said I forgot." Mindy was fairly constrained about how she felt there. "Until now I didn't even now the Districts actually existed, that they were just created as an incentive for us to try harder in the Arenas. I was fighting to stay alive. Now I now there are other people involved."
Re: DISTRICT 9
And by inspirational she meant righteously infuriating. But that was just reading between the lines.
Re: DISTRICT 9
She took some of the hot chocolate and drank deep. "So craziness drives you, right? Something new. What else makes you keep going?"
