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.

"All right." Amusement tinged Carlos's voice -- he really didn't mind Brainy and Lyle, eccentric as they were. He probably would have outright admitted to liking them, actually, if they didn't make it so clear that they should be kept at arm's length. After all, Lyle was a poisoner and Brainy was an awkward green bag of mixed friendship signals.

Then again, if what Cham said was true, they might not make bad friends, or at least allies, after all. Carlos had known much worse people. He opened his mouth to say something else, but the communicator on his wrist beeped at him. He glanced at Cham, then back down at the holo-watch. (He still called it a holo-watch in his head, because he thought it sounded cool.)

"I'm sorry, I have to take this," he said, standing up. "Excuse me."

"No problem."

He appreciated the opportunity to add to Lyle and Brainy's cover.

And the lack of judgementality was a good thing. Hopefully, he'd made them sound more sympathetic so they could keep up the villain routine and not go without gaining allies.

Then, when the time came that they could show their true colors, when they could be Legion, maybe those people would stick by them even more.

"It was nice meeting you--" said Carlos as he headed for the door. "Goodbye!"
