Who| Emily and YOU
What| There's a new mentor in town
Where| Various locations in the Training Centre
When| A few days after the end of Arena 12
Warnings/Notes| No warnings inherent. Prose and brackets both welcome.
a) District 7 suite - mostly for D7, but feel free to crash the pancake party otherwise
Every available surface of the common room is covered in silver platters laden with pancakes, along with various fruits, nuts, sauces and syrups to top them with. In pride of place are several large jugs of maple syrup, one of District 7's main exports, and Em might get a little offended if her tributes eschew it entirely. She'll give a reserved, polite smile to anyone who walks in, mentally sizing them up and trying to figure out if they have any chance in the Arena at all.
"Hello, there. I'm your new mentor."
b) Training Centre - open to all
She's positioned herself near the survival station - campfires, ropes, plants of all sorts - a place that's not nearly so popular as throwing around a sword or axe, but the one where she feels most qualified to give advice. She'll happily talk to any tribute that comes in to train, whether they belong to her district or not: as much as she wants to guarantee a District 7 win, she's not going to put the other tributes at a disadvantage before they've even got into the Arena. She's had enough of that duplicity for one lifetime.
c) Rooftop - closed to Jason Compson
Even out in the districts, Compson is a name that brings recognition, but only vaguely so far as Emily's own knowledge goes. She's fairly sure that he used to be the escort for District 10 - Calder's district, she thinks with the twinge of bitterness and shame that always runs through her thinking of him - and that makes her feel even more nervous about meeting with him. She tries to push it aside, to assume her usual mask, knowing that they'll be working together now, and that both of them surely have the interests of their tributes at heart.
She rises on hearing footsteps approaching the bench she's seated on in the rooftop gardens, offering a hand for him to shake, if he so chooses.

"Your mentor," she repeats patiently. "Emily. I survived the Hunger Games five years ago, and I'm going to try to help you win now."
no subject
He made sure his mouth was clear before he spoke, he didn't know if she knew anything about him, but he didn't want to perpetuate the idea that he might be the actual age he appeared. That would make her less than helpful. " And how're you going to do that?" It wasn't combative, but an actual question. So far, he hadn't liked anyone's answers.

"Well, first of all what sort of help do you think you need?"
no subject
An adult body. That would help.
"I can fight, but I don't know how to hunt for food or anything to do with nature. I grew up in a big city and stayed there my whole life. Can you do anything about that?"
