Who| Don and OPEN
What| Don is preparing for his 10th Arena and worrying about the arrested Tributes
Where| Throughout the Tribute Tower, particularly the roof, the D9 suite and the Training Center
When| The last three nights before the Arena
Warnings| None at the moment, possible Arena talk!

Brewing coffee had never taken such an eternity.

The closer the Arena date came, the slower the time seemed to go for Don. No sign of the jailbreakers being released, only continued pedantic announcements of how the investigation of Penny's murder was gone. Half the Tower was practically missing now. And he could only keep wondering if he did the right thing in ultimately not getting involved in the jailbreak.

Or maybe he did the right thing. The fact that no one had returned is a sign it went bad. And he at least was able to finish the Shakespeare, though much good that did. He'd only been able to get a general approximate location of a pod near the Capitol Art Museum with the equipment Lonestar had given him, but not much else. That, and with the arrests surrounding Penny's death...and the very subtle shift of how he was treated on the streets, even though he was known to not be involved with the jailbreak or murder...

...was this coffee ever going to finish? Shell, it had been ten Arenas now, and he couldn't remember feeling more terrified, even after Ariadne's death. Things were most definitely changing, and he knew the pressure was only going to get worse. He cracked once; how now was he going to stop from cracking again?

Most of the last nights before the Arena would be spent training, drinking his own brewed coffee, and pacing. Lots of late night pacing, throughout the Tower, and on the roof, just drinking coffee. And worrying.

"I...really don't want that to happen. With my knowledge--" Let's just say, to heal, at his level, means he knows a lot about how to harm.

"I've seen the amusement park. I don't know why I went there, honestly." He's not the 'rides' type. "It just looked so bright and out of place." In his head, at any rate, a place that requires you to kill shouldn't sell cotton candy.

In retrospect, yes, it had been a terrible place to start. He'd just started walking, probably drawn to the bright lights, the way it shaped the skyline. "I suppose it couldn't hurt to learn more about them. At least something to do, other than, well, waiting for the next Arena."

"I, uh, no. I don't think drinking would be a good idea." Can you imagine mopey huggy damp Dennett? He can, all too easily.
