[OPEN]
Who| Sam Wilson + open!
What| Trying to figure out wtf is going on after just arriving
Where| Around the Training Center
When| After the arena
Warnings| none yet!
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.

The rest of it? He's more than happy not to have any of it.
no subject
"Just remember, girls will be dressing up as you too. And they'll either be scary accurate, or it's going to be a female version of you and it's not always covering everything."
He takes a drink then adds.
"Also, don't expect them to be over 21 no matter how much they look it" Tony's had some very weird encounters with underage girls that he didn't at all initiate. Not now he's with Pepper anyway.
"Really it's equal parts fun and weird."
no subject
He's still not really worried about it, though. He still doesn't think he'll gain that much attention, in the long run.
"Thanks for the heads up, though."
no subject
At least on the plus side, Tony's never really had to be too concerned about underage girls coming at him in slutty costumes, mostly because the over age girls are better at getting closer, that and he still does have some security measures set up at the tower.
"You're welcome, because you're going to be in for an interesting time."
no subject
He's about to deny that he's really going to be in for all that of an interesting time, that he hasn't really done enough to earn that - but then he realizes that he'll have to tack on 'when we get back' onto that.
Sam kind of has a feeling that the media here is going to be even worse.
"Be honest with me, man, since you'll know - how does the interviews and shit here compare to what you get back home?"
no subject
"The location is new."
Because really the interviews are almost exactly the same, 'we saw you shake hands with (person) does this mean there's a new (Relationship/business venture on the horizon)?' 'Mr Stark, what do you think of this/that/the next thing?' 'What caused you to be drunk and naked on YouTube this time?'
Really after about 30 odd years of being harassed by the press there's no weird questions anymore.
no subject
Sam's... not sure if that's encouraging or not. On the one hand, the location really sucks, but at least the interviews aren't worse. Well, you know, worse than what he'd get if he was Tony Stark or Iron Man, so maybe he should take that uncertainty back. It's probably not all that encouraging.
He shakes his head, but still flashes a smile at Stark. "Thanks for the advice, man. It was good to meet you."
no subject
"Just remember, confidence, and try to steer the interviews as much as you can. It's harder for them to attempt to trip you up on something. And it was good to meet the wings behind the star too."
