OPEN Valentine's Day Plot

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...

"Yes," He agreed, offering a smile which hopefully would have some effect on his intimidation level but probably didn't.

It was strange, being in a place with so many women - it had been many many years since he had been in the presence of more than one at a time, and in truth, he had little idea how to talk to them. The strong female tributes he found easier - he could approach them as he would another gladiator. The women who were obviously not meant for fighting.... He was not so sure about. But while he would probably simply avoid or ignore them, the chocolate covered cherries granted him the courage and ability to want to try.

"Apparently it is meant as a festival feast," He offered somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh yes...do you know have Valentine's day where you come from?"

It was strange, where before he had seemed large, larger than logic would entail...now he seemed much more manageable. Small, gentler...she couldn't put her finger on how.

Maximus shook his head. It was much easier to answer questions than it was to attempt small talk, so he answered easily.

"We have many festivals, and many feasts. But I do not know this god 'Valentine', nor why their feast is this... colourful."

God. God Valentine. That...triggered off a thought.

"Aphrodite? Cupid?"

Maximus blinked, looking at her, and then smiled.

"Cupid, yes. And Venus. But I've never heard either called Valentine. You know them?"

"Well..."

How to explain this. Lottie wasn't exactly a big fan of history. It sorta tore holes through any fantasy scenarios.

"Well, this is just sorta...a holiday, to support that. Valentine, well he's another..." God? No. No Lottie, Saint. "He is like...a demi-god."

Oh, was that sacrilegious? She hoped not. Maybe she'd make St Valentine a little prayer tonight, she didn't wanna be on his bad side.
