The Capitol had been winding up to this for weeks. More and more extravagant decorations had begun to appear all over the city. Gruesome alleys dripping with gore, houses transformed into creaking, ancient cobweb covered dwellings, flickering ghosts haunting windows and doorways. The citizens themselves had becomes more and more extravagant as the days crept closer, dripping in glitters spiderwebs, hair teased to coil around pumpkins and crows, and decked out in meticulous costumes, often celebrating past victors, and even current tributes.

The ball at the Tribute Training Center wasn't anywhere near the only party that night, but it was the most extravagant, and the most sought after. The decorations had gone towards the classic (perhaps the goverment realizing other areas might move too close to home.) The building had been transformed into a spooky, ancient looking mansion, over taken by spiders and lit with flickering candles everywhere. The tables were spread with unimaginable heaping of treats, from grotesqueness mock organs to sparkling jewel colored sugar covered candies. Avoxs move about, for once literally ghosts, covered in their own shrouds of spider webs and sheer gauze, holding plates of smoking drinks.

Attendance for the Tributes was mandatory. As were costumes. And oh boy did their stylists go all out for this one. It was a parade and a party all rolled into ones and they weren't going to slack on that.

Sorry I was in Sandy's path and just now getting organized enough *hugs*

Well okay, that's something you don't see everyday. Chris watched the, what he was thinking was a costumed man, move around the room.

Chris goes over to get something to drink. "Nice costume, looks like something from one of my sister's science books I think."

Oh no D: *hugs*

[polyturtle]

"Higgs boson, actually."

At this, Don turns around to reveal....that he is a turtle man.

*hugs* was lucky enough to get power back after ten hours.

[big_badass_hero]

Okay, that's really different...

"And, I have no idea what that is sorry... The shell isn't part of the costume is it?"

Re: *hugs* was lucky enough to get power back after ten hours.

"Afraid not." Sip. "I'm...guessing you're new to the Games?"

[big_badass_hero]

He was silent a moment sipping his drink and nodded. "Is it that obvious?" Though Chris was still wrapping his mind around a talking turtle... Hey he's seen come crazy things, that were going after him, this is different, but hey he wasn't attacking yet so Chris was going to play it cool.

Or try to, hey look, at least he's not staring anymore.

"A little, yeah." Donatello gave him a reassuring smile. "But...if it makes you feel better, we've all been there?"

[big_badass_hero]

"Makes it a little easier to handle. So..." He rubbed the back of his head a moment. "How long have you been here? And any one I should be careful of? well more than the locals." It was worth a shot at least.

[polyturtle]

"A few months." Donatello looked up. "At the moment, the two people you should be most careful of are named Gray and Alpha. They're...definitely in it for themselves."

Which was stating it lightly. Both were clearly not in their right minds.

[big_badass_hero]

Chris nodded to Donatello, "Gray and Alpha, got it." His eyes scouted the room.

"So many of them are just kids..." He wasn't too happy about that.

[polyturtle]

"Yeah..." Never mind the fact Don himself was technically just a kid, he nodded in agreement. "And not a lot of people who have experience fighting. But...it doesn't matter to the Capitol. It's just a game, after all."

[big_badass_hero]

"There's no game in this." He kept his voice down. "I'd let one of the kids take me out before I hurt them. I don't care." Chris's voice had a small growl to it, but he was smiling, managing not to show how pissed of the situation.

[polyturtle]

"...I know."

He'd managed to get one of those "kids" (well...in a matter of speaking, she wasn't exactly a kid or entirely helpless) out. There were still several more to go. Several more...
