Who| Leonidas Cora and Open!
What| Leo catches up with his Tributes, the Capitol
Where| Training Center and the Capitol
When| August 7 and 8
Warnings/Notes| D2 Priorities, so expect callous description of murder and foul language
I – Training Center (Open to all)
The number of Tributes dwindled with every Arena and Leo wouldn’t be too surprised if some never really made it back at all. Garrett’s return was a boon; the thief had one Arena under his belt. Cullen had no real drive to be of any use…the Batter had the makings of being a Career but lacked the Arena experience. These were things he had to account for in the next Arena and ...well... Jet Link was permanently gone.
So yes, Leo is extra bitter this time around, because another Arena that could have been survivable if they played the rules right but nope. Worse, it was won by one of the oldest, if not THE oldest Tribute District 10 had…it said a lot about the odds in favor of his District. So if anyone were to find Cora, he’s training, stabbing something in the Training Room, or running so many simulations on the computer,
He’s sent all District 2 Tributes a summons to show up at different appointment, to hand them specific sponsors to appeal to and their performance in the last Arena. If Signless was taking a proactive approach to Mentoring, Cora wasn’t going to let him win this little competition they have.
II – Capitol Shopping District (Open)
No sleep was lost for Leo as the Tributes were forced to get jobs in and around the Capitol to make up for the Districts pay for their credit. He’d been wondering about the extravagant lifestyles some of them had and with no way to account for it. Sure, it meant that the staff had to scramble to find more sponsors and maybe even jobs if need be. The Capitol thrived on publicity, on making every Assi worth it.
For now, he sits in a coffee shop, to work somewhere outside from the Tower while also getting a proper gauge of how his District Tributes were seen. The man was clearly on a mission but he had to be a professional about it. From what he hears…it’s not great and
III – Training Center (Closed to China Sorrows)
The invitation sent to China’s suite was as every bit as Spartan as the training she would get from the Small Lion. It read:
You are cordially invited to take part in a fencing session. Please dress comfortably for the occasion, tea and snacks will be available.
I don’t go back on my word, Miss Sorrows. I hope this will be to your liking.
Leo was already making sure that every set of equipment was up to snuff…they were going to indulge in a bit of violent behavior within the Capitol.

"Let's." He knows that after this training session, he'll be keeping a closer eye on her District's Tributes. He knows the cameras are watching and the sponsors will eat it up.
"Either way, we both win."
no subject
She bowed her head in acknowledgement. "But of course. Perhaps I'll treat you to a nice dinner when I win."
no subject
"I think we can call this one a successful lesson, you have potential to be a professional fencing athlete if you were to take more lessons," that's as close a compliment China will ever get from Leo about her skills. It's nothing personal (at least that's what he thinks) but he'd rather pass a Capitolite's pride to someone else.
no subject
"Thank you for this lesson and the unsolicited assessment." She grins wryly--just stepping in the ring with him was probably enough to make said assessment not so unsolicited. "I did enjoy it very much. And perhaps I'll nag you into giving me one another time."
no subject
"I'll see you again...we'll see who has to pay out when the time comes."
no subject
One last time before she exited, she looked back at him over her shoulder. "We will. Until then, Leo."
