Thicker Than Blood Start
For Tributes with keen eyes, they'll notice that Peacekeeper presence seems increased and yet infinitely more ineffective in the last few weeks. Peacekeepers seem harried, as do the Stylists, and most of the Escorts titter and plot without alerting the Tributes as to what, exactly, is so exciting. They simply say that this weekend they'll know.
And so it happens that on the weekend in question, the Tributes are woken by their Escorts early and brought to a restaurant for a hearty breakfast. The restaurant is nothing spectacular, although they seem to be trying to make an impression on the television cameras that float around. The sleepy, cranky meal goes by and then the Tributes are led back to their Suites for a mandatory meeting.
Sitting on couches and the floor, in chairs and on windowsills, standing off to the side - people from the Tributes' homes are waiting to greet them in each District Suite. Some are confused, some accepting, some frightened and some elated to see their beloved. Either way, it should be an eventful reunion.

Stephen reached the decision in a moment. He strode forward, pushing Cyrus's arm out of the way as he went, intent on breaking it up.
think we're good to end here!
It's barked out, short and shocked, before he can begin to think of getting his voice under control. He grasps at Stephen's arm, his clothes, any part of him he can reach, but it's too little, too late-- Stephen is already all but between the two furious otherworlders.
Cyrus takes half an instinctive step forward. Halts. Scans the room again for a peacekeeper. Sees none. Looks back at Stephen. Feels fear curling in his stomach, tinged at the edges with the beginnings of panic.
"--Security. Security!" He bulls into the crowd, seeking a peacekeeper to drag back here by the hair, if he has to. He throws one last glance over his shoulder at Stephen, and hopes he hasn't taken too long to act already.
