(no subject)

Who| Everyone
What| A chance for the teams to meet, mingle, and, lets be honest, for goodbyes to be said.
Where| The common area.
When| Evening before the attack, about a day after Creuntus' network announcement.
Warnings/Notes| Time is going to be a little more wonky then normal, if you haven't noticed. They will be going out to attack "tomorrow" but that thread will not, likely, be posted tomorrow, to give people time to play in this one, etc.

There is food and drink, plenty of it, but no decoration, and it is clear this "party" is no sort of celebration. There is the small spattering of Peacekeepers still in the Capitol, those not on duty at the edge of the boundary.

A long table at the front has a set up for each team. Everyone has a folder with who is in their team, who is watching their team, a list of the various weapons they will have. On the list is a flame thrower, a handful of small explosives, and an automatic weapon for each team member. There are no weapons laid out for the Tributes to handle, however - those were waiting for them elsewhere, for when the mission truly started. Nor does the folder mention that the weapons all switch off outside of the combat area, but it's also not a secret, or a surprise.

Each folder also includes the rather useless stats and images they have of the creatures-the photos are blurry, the stats mainly stack up to "they are very deadly" and a collection of the various bits of information put forth by other tributes who seem to know more then the Capitol. Last, a detailed map of both the neighborhood, and the tunnels for them to study.

Another table has folders for the intel, with much of the same information. Last, a third table is set up for those that are staying at home. Those folders contain some basic first aid information, and a list with what sort of basic medical supplies and food stuff is in the training center.

Each table set up has an Avox or two to hand out the folders. Creuntus is no where to be seen, and you would be lucky to catch any of her team. She knows where she doesn't want to be. The furniture has been dragged to facilitate the conversation of small to medium sized groups. Say, about the size of a team and their Intel.

Holiday | Intel Team 3 & 9 | OTA

Holiday was busy at one of the tables, looking through the stats and photos of the creatures. To be honest, she figured this was some sort of test or punishment for them. Or, if anything, something went wrong with whatever brought other people here. Perhaps they brought in someone they couldn't handle.

Either way, it was their job to handle it. The thing was probably just an enemy of the Capitol, but Holiday wasn't really willing to take chances.

As much as she wanted to help, she was in no way willing to give her up cuff. If they did take it from her, it wasn't like she could say no. Instead, she planned to pencil in her District's symbol onto the green fabric covering that Calico gave her and keeping it... if they allowed her that is. She hoped they would.

Her mind drifted back to the cuff every now and then, but she forced her thoughts to remain on the mission at hand. If she didn't play her part right, people could die. Couldn't have that.

There was a tap on her shoulder.

It was Harley. Grinning like a kid with a bag full of candy.

when in actuality what she had in hand was a coffee mug that said "Happy Holidays" but Harley had put a sticker over the "s"
doc_holi: (happy)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-02 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Holiday smiled as soon as she turned to see the familiar face, even giving a laugh to the coffee.

"Hi, Harley. Getting the jump on these monster things, too, I presume?"

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-10-02 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
"You could say that!" She laughed giving a little hop.

"I'm playing radio this time. Mission control. Team intel is go!" She declared with a bight grin.

"What about you? Obviously you're here so that's a start."
doc_holi: (warm smile)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-05 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
She nodded. "I'm on intel, too. Not that I'm bad in a fight, I just feel more useful here."
revvinguptheharley: (Thumbs up!)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-10-05 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"No kidding." Her smile never faltered, "Let the kids with super powers go play for awhile. We smarty girls can stay back and tell them where to go and how not to die." She chuckled

"Plenty of time for you to get your hands messy in the next arena."
doc_holi: (sneaky smile)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-06 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Agreed. Not that I'm looking forward to it." Or that she wanted to admit she was looking forward to it. Getting some steam off of her chest and focusing on the hunting aspect would help a good bit, oddly enough.

"It always seems easier being the brain behind the scenes, doesn't it? Gives me a headache on bad days, but I'm sure the process will remind me a great deal of home."
revvinguptheharley: (Thumbs up!)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-10-06 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"I wouldn't know~" Harley cooed and then giggled. "I'm usually more of a henchwoman or cohort. Field agent and all that. But with your pretty voice in my ear I'm sure I'd be super effective. Your wards are gonna be way better off then mine." She laughed out loud.

"I'm just gonna treat it like a big video game."
doc_holi: (sneaky smile)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-07 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Holiday laughed at the pretty voice bit. "We'll see how things end up. I'll probably be rusty at this yet... Just don't tell the combat teams that."

Joking about a mission? Yup.

"That sounds like the best route in this situation. Just remember you don't get a do-over."
revvinguptheharley: (Duh)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-10-07 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Which I still haven't figured out yet!" Harley suddenly looked thoughtful "With all this technology they have here they've barely gotten any pictures of the things, and if we die out here they can't bring us back?"

Her smirk became sardonic, "Or won't?"
doc_holi: (pout hmm)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-12 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Or won't," Holiday repeated. She was about as sure as Harley on that one, but... seriously.

"I've noticed the incredible lack of pictures and I have several theories on it. Either these things are really out of their control and they're sending in the most replaceable people at their disposal, we're actually fighting against something that wants to help us and therefore making the enemy believe we don't want their help, or it's not an invasion at all and just more of a crowd pleaser. Or something else I haven't thought of yet."
revvinguptheharley: (Default)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-10-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Harley gasped in shock at the suggested theories.

"I would have never even considered they might be friendlies. Wowzers that puts a whole NEW spin on it. Glad I don't have to be one of the poor suckers going down there to break bread and bones with those acid drooling mutant roaches from beyond the stars." Her rambling came out in a long line and so she had to gasp for breath afterwards but her smile was as silly as ever.
doc_holi: (bad influence)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-29 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Me, too," she smirked, "but that doesn't matter at this point. We have no choice but to fight them now that we've signed up. It would have happened anyway."
revvinguptheharley: (Default)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-10-29 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Harley shrugged. "What's life without some pain and frustration?" She mused and then slung an arm around Holiday's shoulders.

"Boring! And say what you will about this place, it's never boring!"
doc_holi: (sneaky smile)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-11-01 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Holiday smiled. "You know what? You're right. I mean it's not great, but it's not boring either... Sometimes I'd almost prefer boring."

Sometimes.
revvinguptheharley: (Default)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-11-01 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Harley chuckled and gave Holiday a squeeze.

"Peaceful maybe but never boring. Like a lazy Sunday afternoon where you don't even bother to put on pants and eat through like a whole bag of chips."

Not Barbara, either. She had to trust that not everyone in the Capitol was evil, after all - that there were civilians that needed help. Besides which, she wasn't interested in watching her or her friends turned into mincemeat via alien threat either.

Holiday maybe worked into that friend list, too. Their meetings hadn't been bad, at any rate.

Anyway. she's at the intelligence office, sniffing around for info.]
doc_holi: (smile)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-02 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Holiday looks up to see a young girl going through the information and she smiles. "Barbara, right? Seems like everyone's come out for this."

Honestly, Holiday was beginning to have second thoughts about whether or not doing helping the Capitol was the right thing to do. She could always just protect her friends, but not helping would likely end up to be more dangerous.
acro_bat_ic: (talking)

[personal profile] acro_bat_ic 2013-10-03 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Your friendly neighborhood chef," she promised, smiling faintly. She wasn't forgetting their time in candy land any time soon.

She preferred to think of it as defending civilians, though.
doc_holi: (sneaky smile)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-05 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Holiday laughed. "That you are. Decided to try taking on these things, too?"
acro_bat_ic: (talking)

[personal profile] acro_bat_ic 2013-10-16 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Can't let them have their way," she admitted. "I'm pretty sure these things plan to eat us."
doc_holi: (worried)

[personal profile] doc_holi 2013-10-19 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Same here," Holiday admitted, "but I can't help but feel like we aren't getting the whole story here."
acro_bat_ic: (what?)

[personal profile] acro_bat_ic 2013-11-24 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Like how they got here, maybe?
acro_bat_ic: (talking)

[personal profile] acro_bat_ic 2013-12-04 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm more worried about who they eat.
