Oh, this is the night and the heavens are right on this lovely Bella Notte
Who| Everyone who signed up for blind dating!
What| An evening of romance, or disaster, take your pick.
Where| The Swift Cut restaurant
When| 16th June
Warnings/Notes| The course of true love never did run smooth. Remember that if your character was not rolled in arena but you signed up for them to be here, you will need to mark their death on fatality reporting.
The atmosphere at the Swift Cut this evening is bustling. It's clear from the moment one enters the restaurant that they have pulled all the stops out for this televised extravaganza.
Every fire is lit and the air is filled with the scent of the roasting meat on spits over the flames; boar, beef, pork, venison and more. Pots bubble with the smell of hot stew, vegetables are being roasted in ovens and from giant casks around the room beer is being drawn. The staff are in full 'barbarian' getup, consisting of skimpy furs on both the male and the female servers but luckily for you they don't seem to expect a similar dress code from their guests.
Tribute's stylists may have had other ideas, of course.
The giant room has been clearly divided. Tribute's will find themselves directed to one side while trueborn citizens of Panem and petitioned out individuals are brought to the other. It is left up to them to find their table with the number they will be handed upon entering the restaurant. Whether they are the first to arrive at their table is a matter of chance but they can be sure that a cameraman will always be there to capture the moment of realisation on both participants faces when they realise who their date is.
Once everyone is seated the music will begin the play. Minstrels strum lutes and harps, their voices filling the air softly with traditional medieval ballads. There is a space set aside for dancing if anyone is in the mood.
Throughout the evening, and certainly at the end, Tribute's and Capitolites will find themselves sporadically approached by the show host to be asked questions about how they feel the evening is going. It's up to them how honestly they answer, though they should remember the camera's are always watching.

To be fair, she has some doubt that there are really good people anywhere.
"It sounds like you knew all sorts. Any theories on what makes a good person?"
no subject
That's especially important in such a place as this.
"You got any?"
no subject
"I suppose I could think of some... Does a good head on their shoulders count for anything?"
She was thinking of only a handful of people when she said that, but that made them all the more precious. As precious as anything that wasn't a book or rare artifact could be to her.

Krem was good for that, he was good for many things which included being a smartass.
"Who else?"

The people who are coming to mind--Leo, Cyrus, Wesker--aren't those she would imagine as being too popular with Tributes. "If you've met the young woman Emily Finch, I'd say she fits the bill. Possibly too quiet to really be 'spunky', but she's quite intelligent." She pauses. "And all the Tributes in my District, of course. They're very sharp and spirited."
She's not sure how wise it is to give even that small reminder of her comparative status, but decides to risk it anyway. At the least, it might help her determine how
