When things like THIS and THIS are going down it's probably a good time to touch base with one another. Face caressing, crying and meaningful stares abound as the Tributes and Staff drag their knuckles hopelessly in an effort to figure out what the fresh hell is going on.

Make your own prompts, feel free to make them closed to specific people.

"Optimistic, but foolish." She agreed and set aside her drink.

"Thankfully it's only up to us to help our tributes learn and grow. So what can we do to improve them. Where are our weak links?" She quizzed Hans to steer his mind away from rebellion for now. If she was going to be more proactive she'd need at least one of the mentors of her district to be playing the party line.

He makes no case against her assertion, it was the response he expected after all. He came in here pretending to be naive, it wouldn't make sense for it to depart so quickly.

"Well, in an Arena I know we don't have to worry about most of them, all things considered. Most of them are either charming or competent, or a little of both if they're lucky. Their narratives are interesting as well, but outside.." He strains a little, as if it's hard to admit. "Shepard is outspoken, but she knows what she's doing. She's hard to predict. Venus and Diana know how to play to a crowd, Venus seems to have included Kankri in that, I don't imagine she'll compromise on it. Alex and Initiate are formidable enough to be interesting without trying too much, I'd say both of them know how to behave as well. Norville is.. well.. I don't think we have to expect anything too insidious from him, unless he's a wild card we don't know about. So that leaves.." He trails off, again not looking terribly comfortable. "He's already been sent back. Do you really think he'd do any worse for himself?"

Her smile is sharp like a razor and smooth like honey laced in poison.

"Very good. With Norville I feel compelled to mention that he has surprising depths to his intelligence when he is pressured. His quick thinking is how he survived so long in his first arena. I believe he may have some great untapped potential in speed based combat, but his pacifistic nature will attract some of the more...liberal of our contributors."

And more of those had been cropping up when you least expected it.

"As for you, your competence is a breath of fresh air whenever I need it."

"Well, I certainly can't fault him for a skill set like that. It would certainly do him better if we kept that as discreet as possible, really play up the fact that he's an oaf to other people. Unless, of course, we want to make him more popular than he is surprising. We don't want him to be brushed off entirely, after all."

He's put quite a bit of thought into that, so excuse him if the compliment takes him off guard for a moment. There's a brief flash of surprise in his face, followed by an appreciative smile. "I'm happy to provide. I really have nothing better to do, you know." He laughs, so funny. What a joke.

"Well you know what they say about idle hands." She joked with a soft chuckle.

"So long as we can keep the items flowing, even our most abrasive tributes will be happy. The challenge in keeping our sponsors happy falls to us. Some are growing jaded by repeated loss. But there is always hope that you've backed the right party. Bragging rights, the chance to make yourself feel as though you are the smartest person in the room."
