love will make you drink and gamble
What| Dan goes to a bar a little distance from Tribute Tower in the hopes of not running into anyone who will know who he is. Let's see if we can dash those hopes.
Where| A bar in the Capitol
When| Final week of the Arena, during Dan's off-duty hours.
Warnings/Notes| Alcohol
Daniel had gotten into the habit of spending as many of his hours off duty in the basement of his family home. He'd taken up residence in the lab with a single projector playing the Games in the corner. He needed to stay up on what was happening with the Tributes, after all. He needed to know which ones might have a grudge against which other ones and who might be looking to get revenge for some wrong doing inside of the Arena once they were outside of it.
He imagined those kinds of concerns were strange new ones in this strange new, multi-dimensonal world.
The problem with spending all of his time alone though, was that he had to remember the pieces of his personality he didn't care much for. Self-doubt took up residence at the back of his mind like an unwelcome house guest. Rather than dwell on it, though, he finally worked up the nerve to leave.
Blake drank all of the time without worrying about what it did to his professional image and while he was no Blake, he could try to relax every once and a while. Still, he choose a bar that was far enough from Tribute Tower that he could reduce the risk of running into a Tribute.
It wouldn't be very professional for one of them to see him drunk, after all.
