Thicker Than Blood Start

[gamemakers]

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.

It all seemed more than a little strange for Kolyat so for a moment he said nothing, crossing his arms over his chest and looking past Thane to the others in the room. The entire thing was unsettling, and he was sure that his father could read it well enough in him.

"Months of time you don't have." He responded dryly and turned back to Thane, watching him. "You look well."

He knows, Kolyat. He has such limited time and he does not like that he is spending it here. "I am well," he said. For a dying man, at least. He could hear it in Kolyat's voice, though. There weren't many good things about this current situation. Being separated from his son was the worst part, though.

He wanted to spend his last few living months being in contact with him. "If you did not notice I was gone, perhaps it is months I do have, Kolyat."
