OPEN Valentine's Day Plot

[thebiddingbaron]

WHO | Everyone
WHAT | Baron sends Valentine's Day gifts to Tribute Tower.
WHEN | Valentine's Day!
WHERE | Tribute Tower
WARNINGS / NOTES | Warnings for drug use and all of the things that go with that. Possibly also sexual themes. The OOC post for this is here.




On the morning of February 14th when the Tributes come down for breakfast they're greeted by an impressive holiday themed spread. Pink and red baked goods, chocolates shaped like hearts, beautiful red and pink flowers, adorable stuffed animals all line the table.

On the table is also a sign in cursive that reads:

To our beloved Tributes, Victors, Mentors, Escorts and Stylists. Enjoy your holiday. -- Bartlett Industries

Most of the sweets are completely harmless, but if the Tributes taste the chocolate covered cherries or caramels they find themselves suddenly acting very strangely...

Atticus shakes it firmly, letting out a little bit of a surprised laugh. Blaine's hand doesn't feel as cool to his touch as he'd expected.

"So, um...have you been here long?"

[mediumdrip]

Blaine shakes his head. "No. I arrived during this Arena."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"Yeah, me too. Weird, huh?"

[mediumdrip]

"I think they might have been trying to make a point?" Blaine admits after a moment. "Why don't we sit down? We can figure out how much we have in common if anything."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"Okay." Atticus smiles and fills his plate again, cookies and chocolates. He's got kind of a sweet tooth.

Blaine takes that moment to grab a cupcake. When they sit he licks the frosting carefully. "So, where are you from?"

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"New York? Well, Connecticut, but I've been going to school in New York."

[mediumdrip]

"Really?" Blaine asks, his eyes lighting up. "I want to go to NYADA. Where do you go?"

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"Columbia? What's NYADA?" Atticus asks, popping a chocolate into his mouth.

[mediumdrip]

"The New York Academy of Dramatic Arts?" Blaine said. He finished licking the frosting and started to unwrap the cupcake. "Columbia would be pretty a great school to go to though. As long as it's in New York."

"Oh, are you going to be an actor?" Atticus asks, shifting sideways in his seat.

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah. Or a musician. The best would be a Broadway star. My goal is to make art and music."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"Yeah? That's cool. That's what I was studying. Music, I mean."

[mediumdrip]

"What do you play?" Blaine asks, clearly excited that they have this in common.

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"Piano mostly. But, you know, guitar and violin and harmonica..."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine grins a bit. "I play the piano," he says. "Mostly I sing."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"That's cool! I sing too, but the piano was really my focus."

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah? I wonder if we can find one here..." he says thoughtfully. He moves a little closer to Atticus and puts a hand on his arm. "I'd love to hear you play."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Atticus smiles at that, leaning a bit closer. "I could play and you could sing?"

[mediumdrip]

"Sounds like a good idea to me," he grins. "Other than music, what else do you do?"

[kind_of_a_nerd]

He grabs another chocolate and pops it into his mouth.

"Um...you know. The usual stuff. Movies and video games and shit. You?"

[mediumdrip]

"Movies, theater. I like sports too. I'm not as sure about video games, though I'm not opposed to them. I guess I don't have a lot of time for them."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

He laughs. "But you have time for sports?"

[mediumdrip]

"Sometimes. I watch more than I play. I used to do competitions for polo and fencing."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"You do fencing? That's so cool!"
