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.

He's gonna judge Starkiller as much as he wants, thank you very much. He's a crotchety old man, he has earned that right.

But he doesn't say anything about Starkiller's comment about the Force, because well, he doesn't entirely disagree. It is true that the lack of clarity is frustrating, even if simply a premonition of events to come can be just as useful. But he's not here to be Starkiller's master, so he pushes that aside. Instead, he focuses on the other question.

"I don't know. This place hasn't given me much for me to know what I should do. I don't know if I'm going to join you in those games, if I'm just going to be sent back... I don't know anything right now."

Well fuck you, he's not getting off your lawn.

"Well, it seems different than normal," Starkiller said with a small shrug. "Usually you aren't brought in like this. There isn't such a show about things. So I have no idea what's going on. What I do know is I'm getting tired of sitting around, so I'm leaving. You can come with me or just keep sitting around uselessly."
