None of this was what Sam'd expected when he woke up on that cot, and was all but dragged out of the room by a group of guards. Not that he had all that much experience with kidnapping or being taken prisoner, but he was pretty sure they didn't normally include a kickass suite and free run of not only pretty much the whole building, but whatever city they were in. And he was definitely sure prisoners usually didn't get handed a map of the damn place and a credit card.

It didn't make him feel at all better about being grabbed, of course. If anything, their determination in treating him like he was supposed to be some kind of honored guest was making him twitchy, almost as twitchy as being told he'd been picked up off the streets to fight to the death like some kind of gladiator.

...it's also making him wary about just how good their security has to be, if they're actually letting prisoners have free range like that. Not enough not to test it, but definitely wary. So he waits a little bit after the guards leave him alone, exploring the room and giving them long enough to actually get gone, if they're really going. Then he's out, intent on seeing just how much leeway he has, and if he can figure out where he really is.


District 5 Suite

His first stop is the rest of the suite they'd dropped him off in, of course. He lingers in the kitchen - not really for food, though he is kind of hungry. At the moment, he's not willing to risk eating anything that might be available, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to check it out.

Which is why he's opening cabinets and peering in the fridge, eyeing the kitchen knives he'd found and wondering if they'd do anything if he grabbed one to keep on him.


Training Center

He has to admit, the place that gives the building its name isn't bad. In fact, it's pretty damn good, if he'd had a place like this back home, he'd probably have been there every day. It makes sense, he guesses, to give them access to a place like this, if they're supposed to be gearing up to participate in a battle to the death. But it also means their captors are either stupid or really, really good, and he doubts it's the first.


Rooftop

By the time he makes it up to the top of the roof, he's feeling a little overwhelmed. He'd gone up to clear his head a little, get some air, but he's not up there long before he's wondering if it wasn't a bad idea. Just looking out towards the edge makes him miss his wings; he sure as hell could use them right about now.

He stays anyway, sitting on one of the benches to look up at the sky, and keep an eye out for any fellow prisoners - or any of their captors - that might be up there as well.

Dennett wishes he could unthink it. Much less unlive it. But, well, it's another reason he sits up here on the rooftops.

He takes the hand gladly, grinning. "And let's hope to keep it that way." The idea of Dennett killing anyone probably doesn't even cross either of their minds.

"I'm a doctor, actually. And you...?"

"I'm...I don't think I even can." Dennett's managed not to kill anyone so far. He did kick that little girl, though, but she'd been stabbing him in the throat with a plastic Christmas decoration so...that probably didn't count.

"But you understand, I think, with pararescue." Helping people, not fighting them. "Medical, yes. Neurosurgery and cybernetics." He's gone from being sort of a big deal to a nobody here. It was still disorienting.

Dennett's lost patients before, but that was different than actually...killing them.

"Have you? One of, uh, the examples of my work is here." Well, way to go, Dennett, turning Alex into a showcase. "I mean, his body. He's still himself, of course." Says the guy who apologized all over CSPAN for taking Alex's personality away from him.

"Alex. Alex Murphy. But the way I saw him last...," he shakes his head. The City had found a way to neurosuppress Alex. It wasn't personal, it wasn't about Dennett, but it felt like a slap in the face, a reminder of how he'd gone too far, taken too much away from him. "Well, we're trying to fix that, at least. He's...impressive. N-not just my work, but, you know, adaptation. Some people don't tolerate prosthetics well."

"I think so. I mean, I try not to go into other District areas." You know, just in case they get a little murdery outside the Arena time. "But he's kind of...unmissable." Large, black graphene armor, red blinking lights...yeah. Hard to miss.

"He might seem a little...cold right now. I'm hoping to work on that." Because guilt, really: the City somehow found a way to reduplicate the dopamine lowering he'd used on Alex in Detroit. It was a chilling thought as it was, even without the obvious consequences.

"Me?" He'll have another sip of coffee, the kind that's a nervous swallow more than a taste. "I just, well, I don't want to run into someone who's killed me. It would be...awkward."
