(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.

Hard to miss...yeah that was one way to put it.

Sandy turned slowly to face the creature, eyes wide. Of all the strange opponents she'd met in the arena...she'd never noticed the dragon before. Then again there were alot of people in each district. Or possibly they were new?

Either way some of Sandy's old submissive nature kicked in and she cautiously inched away from the mythical creature.

To be fair, Isierka hadn't been in the Capitol all that long, and as such it was entirely possible that she hadn't made enough of impression on people to be particularly well known. That said, Sandy's reaction is fairly familiar even despite the newness of the Capitol.

"Oh, you hardly need to worry that I shall eat you. People taste quite horrible anyway."
justoutrunyou: (I've telling that joke for years)

She didn't know why she was so surprised the dragon could speak so clearly. She'd been here long enough to know that these things were possible.

"That's good to know...I guess." She muttered now unable to take her eyes off her.

"What do dragons eat?" That seemed to be the most logical next step. In all the stories she knew of it was always humans and treasure.

"Oh, it is hard to go wrong with a nice cow," Isierka answers, with a tone of voice that suggests she might have shrugged, if she had the right sort of shoulders to do so with. As it is, however, the tone of her voice will have to suffice.

"That is hardly all we will eat, however."
justoutrunyou: (We'll use masks)

Sandy had to admit she did love a good burger. And the casual tone of the dragon made it a little easier to relax.

"Well at least the food around here is good. It's one of the only good things." She muttered trying to collect herself and seem more capable and competent then she was.

"It isn't too bad," Iskierka agrees with something approximating a nod. It could have also been better, and anything resembling manners was going to be an uphill battle at best, but that was a problem that could be left neatly in the hands of her stylist.

"Although it is all quite strange, yet."

Common ground with a dragon, who knew?

"Yeah, I've been here for...way too long and it still doesn't feel normal. I don't know that it ever will." her eyes clouded with gloom.

"Still not sure if it's better or worse then my homeworld."
