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.

There was a ripple of tentacles, spreading through his body, and Lyle would know what that meant because it was hostile body language and that was the body language a spy like him had to most watch out for.

He at least prevented himself from running off to try to find and murder him. Just barely, but he did!

"Are. They. Crazy?!"

Good job, Cham. Good job not racing off to your own certain death.

"You know I never comment on the relative sanity of the people in charge of me," he answered dryly. "It's bad for the health."

Yes. Yes they were sprocking crazy. Which is why he needed to give Reep as much information as possible, so that he'd be prepared for it. And maybe, just maybe, if the Capitol really did send him back at the end of this "dream", the Legion would know enough to come for them.

"You didn't happen to see anyone else from the team when you got here, did you?" he asked. "If they brought you here for me, they might have brought someone for Brainy too."

His tentacles kept shuddering, the equivalent of him drawing a calming breath.

"No, just me. Where is Brainy anyway?"
