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 felt panic rise in the back of his head, but fought it back with a deep breath. He knew exactly what 'hug' meant.

"No," he said, politely but firmly, remaining planted between the two of them. "Actually, I think you shouldn't hug anyone this week, Kevin," Stephen went on. "There will be cameras on you almost constantly, and it looks -- I hate to tell you this, but it looks a little unprofessional."

He had watched Kevin's tapes, had lived in the same set of rooms as him, and he knew how important a professional image was to Kevin. Stephen prayed that this would work.
