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.

"Well, if it all goes horribly wrong, at least we'll be able to say the food was good," she says with a laugh. That's a good way to not seem like she feels totally anxious about it, right? It's perfectly normal to joke about blind dates crashing and burning. Or at least she thinks it might since the last time she went on one was in college and she barely remembers how the night went.
"So, you're from District 4, right?" She knows that, obviously. It's in ever write up about Chuck and Derek, but she figures that letting him really introduce himself might make all of this seem more natural. "From what I've read, it sounds nice."
no subject
Or maybe not.
Here, Chuck huffs with laughter, head tipped just a tad. He's good at reading people, even if he doesn't often act it, so he most certainly reads anxiety in her. But he doesn't bring attention to it, even if hell he's wondering it himself.
"One can hope," he grins, a crooked slip of a thing, and then shrugs one shoulder with easy grace. So she can read files, he didn't expect anything different from another Mentor. "Yeah, it's nice enough. Nothin' on what you're used to in the Capitol though."
no subject
Of course, maybe part of it is that the only times she's ever really seen the sea was on a few vacations, so it's much more of a novelty to her. "So what do you do for fun in Four?"
