Victory Tour!

[etcircenses]

Most of you weren't around the last time District tours were allowed. The opulence of the train is just as great however. It is plush, full of the same comforts and pleasures as the Capitol. Dining, entertainment centers, and shared rooms for the Tributes, the bunk beds featuring the finest of fabrics. The wide windows all around the train give way to the stunning views of the District countrysides.

Before the quell, it used to be that only the Victors of the arena would behold such sights, but you Tributes, the survivors of the fifteenth arena of the seventy fifth quarter quell are very lucky indeed. It will be a greater pageant than ever before, with so many Tributes getting the chance to speak to the Districts their children were reaped from, where you stand and the children stand no longer. The honor, duty, and sacrifice a Tribute's life involves cannot be understated.

Staff and Mentors are, of course, brought along for the ride. You'll need them for when you are to give your speech to the Districts! There will be a lot of preparation work involved, but maybe, should you do well, you will be afforded some time to travel between the cars and visit those of other Districts.

As always, the tour will be starting in District twelve, which will take just over forty eight hours to reach. There's no need to feel unsafe. There's an overwhelming number of Peacekeepers on board, here to keep you all safe, as will there be in each of the Districts you visit.

Sleep tight.

"I can help but...I bet she's found someone stronger than me over there," Phil admitted with the heavy heart that comes from a man who loves someone but knows he wasn't good enough. Or maybe he was but he respected the other's choice to walk away. Gray followed the cyborg and hushed up, thinking about what seeing Venus would mean for her too. Would she be held back? Would she feel...

Doubts seemed to evaporate as soon as they came in, the old Phone Guy had to grow up and realize that he didn't solve anything by punishing himself. "Oh heck does it matter? I-I'll try and talk sense into her, She's smart and crafty but maybe she needs someone to tell her to stand down, take a breather and let someone else take the charge."

That's the unconditional love Phil had for Venus: to cheer her on but also stand his ground, even if she got mad or disappointed.

He's about to argue, to tell Phil that it doesn't matter if they're together or not, but it's knowing someone cares about her enough to brooch the subject (of course disregarding how Albert thinks Phil is good for her, how he balances her out and keeps her grounded from what little the cyborg has seen). He doesn't have to argue, however. Phil comes to that conclusion himself, and it earns him a small smile of approval.

"Good. She won't listen to me, but two voices are louder than one and harder to ignore."

"Then let's hurry, I don't want you to lose valuable time talking to me when there's a very stubborn superheroine who needs a good chat back to reality. You're doing a great deed, Albert," Phillip came to that conclusion as he followed the man's lead, taking one look back at the mayhem they caused, "Because when all of this is said and done, the Capitol's not going to recover from all this. From breaking their promises."

Snow broke his promise to the Districts by reaping their children once more and now to his fellow Capitolites by sending one of their own to the bloodbath. Their escape vehicle would be there and Gray wouldn't argue about it.
