Who| Joel and YOU?
What| Actively avoiding watching the arena.
Where| Various places around the Tribute Tower.
When| Week 5.
Warnings/Notes| None ATM.
1] District 8 commons
Here, he cooks. It's a very normal sight by now - tributes, mentors, stylists, anyone who wanders through the District 8 suites with any regularity has probably caught Joel cooking at some point. In the morning, it's breakfast, his favorite meal of the day - eggs, bacon, toast, country potatoes, the works. And he always makes more than he can eat himself. Anyone who isn't too annoying can probably get him to provide a plate. Dig in.
2] Training center
He spends time here primarily to avoid paparazzi. And, occasionally, to shoot arrows at targets, just for the exercise, really, not necessarily to train. Someone who looks particularly lost, or out of their depth, might be able to talk him into giving some lessons in the survival areas - how to build a fire is something he's particularly good at, as is erecting temporary shelter and things like that. He doesn't really care which district people are associated with - as long as they don't annoy him. Kids, in particular, will get special treatment.
3] Roof garden
He spends time wandering the roof garden to get some air, and what little privacy any of them are afforded in this place. There are no TV screens up here, a blessed relief from the constant recaps and repeats of the arena footage - something he can't do anything about, so what's the point of watching it? He's sent Tess some supplies, which is about all he can manage. He walks up here for the quiet. Sometimes with a beer in his hand as he watches the sun set.

It's the one good thing about this godforsaken place.

"Aye, might as well. There ain't much more to do, I suppose, besides be dragged about by Swann to different events." The dryness to his tone illustrates how fun Jack thinks that is.

His upper lip twitches some. "Didn't even have an idea of what a camera was, until this place. Or what it could do." Which made some of his more embarrassing and weaker moments in the Arena much, much worse.

Joel shakes his head. "Throw a wild dog in a cage, then get upset when it bites your hand."

"Right. It's an honor for us, aye?"

Joel pulls some things out of the fridge and starts putting together a sandwich - for Jack.

"The lot of 'em have only lived in a lap of luxury, food always in their belly and a roof over their heads, so they think dyin' ain't much of a price for us to pay for it. 'Course, they aren't willin' to pay that price themselves."
