Lessons, Capitol Style
WHO| Riddick and OPEN
WHAT| Riddick is "learning".
WHERE| Tessurae (the "Hunger Games" style restaurant!)
WHEN| Three days after the arena is out
WARNINGS| Riddick's mouth and bad attitude
Having one of the Tributes themselves visiting had originally been exciting at Tessurae, but when he proved to be the opposite of friendly, the charm quickly wore off. It'd been three nights now, and Riddick kept coming back, ordering the least sugar- and sauce-intensive meal on the menu and a stiff drink, and then promptly shunning anyone who tried to approach him for an autograph or a question or a breathless compliment.
For anyone who happened to really pay attention, it seemed like he was watching Hunger Games reruns and pulling up statistics in the bar's records. There were only so many places to learn about this stuff, after all, and he'd already exhausted what he could find in the library since his return to life. Now it was time to find some raw data and learn what he could about the mania surrounding the things first-hand, in the most Games-themed place he could find.
Of course, the whole place made him sick, but he could deal with it.

"Seems like," he agreed dryly. "You'd think they'd run out of places to have these things, by th'time they got this far along."

Did they build over them? Could they find the remains of previous Arenas below the newest? Or did they simply find a new place on the planet, was the country called Panem (and Alpha loved a pun but really) the only part of the world with a surviving patch of humanity on it? Seemingly basic questions, surprisingly difficult to find the answers to.
