I will never die
Who| Peggy and D10 tributes; Peggy and Open
What| Peggy is evaluating her new tributes, and in between evaluations she bugs people to spar with her.
Where| Training Center
When| Soon after Peggy arrives
Warnings/Notes| Maybe from violence from sparring?
Closed to D10ers
"I want to evaluate each skill you may need in the arena." Peggy Carter is large and in charge, perfectly composed and stepping like an army woman with a clipboard at her side. Today, her scarf is black, and her clothes are suited for training. "I want you to sit at each station--not just the combat stations, but all of them--and complete whatever task it is set up to allow you to practice. I will time how fast it takes you to complete and take note of any particular problem areas, and we can work together from there to set up a training schedule that works for you. Do you understand?"
Open to All
She's put away her clipboard, but not the training clothes or the black scarf. She's doing a circuit around the training center herself, working at the survival stations, evaluating what she can learn and what she already knows, but most of all, she spends her time with the combat training equipment. Exercise, weights, axes, arrows--and even, though she spends some time staring at them with an inscrutable look in her eye, knives and swords. Work. Work. She goes through it with the methodical air of a woman who's been doing this for a very long time, even if she hasn't been in the arena for years.
But obsessive exercising can't take the edge of for her anymore. She's back in the tribute center, back where her life had been consistently destroyed year after year after year, back where she and Bucky and all of the tributes she had mentored before had scrambled to survive. She couldn't sleep here, and she had to force herself to eat. Not even destroying herself with exercise will remove the horror now fresh on her mind.
Eventually, she abandons the weights and weapons, instead approaching the nearest person. "Do you feel up for a spar?"

He shrugs.
"Luckily, Cyrus laid down the law last week, so we'll probably start hearing less of that."
Stephen sounds blithely cheerful about it; he gives no indication that there is anything wrong.

"At the very least, this new format of games has given us time to train everyone. How did we ever deal with just a week to get our tributes into shape?" Oh yeah, by just crossing their fingers before tossing a bunch of unprepared children into a slaughterhouse. That's how they dealt with it.

"I'm glad the new format is making your job easier," he sniffs; it's the tone that keeps it in lighthearted-banter territory rather than ungraceful whining. It's treating a terrible subject very lightly. Stephen is conscious of this. However, he's also being careful to look clueless. "Oh, but I can't complain. More time has its benefits on my end, too -- more time to get to know them, more time to build a fan base..." He shakes his head, suddenly.
"But speaking of your job, I shouldn't keep you from it." He nods at the training center behind her. "I hope you find a better sparring partner than me."

"And I hope you find Ms. Cocktease."
Peggy smiles and nods to him before walking off to find someone else to beat up on the mat.
