(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.

"Their blood is...it'll melt flesh and bone. Try not to let them bleed on you, if you can avoid it. Here, look at this," She slid a few papers aside, annoyed for the lack of an Omni-tool, "There, see that?"

It was a terrible photo. The focus was off, and the camera had low resolution to begin with. The subject wasn't even centered in the frame! But more than that, he had a hole the size of his head, right in the middle of his chest. The picture had no color, but the black blotches weren't ketchup.

"It didn't do that with its hands. The tail is like another limb, has to be a weapon. Most people are going to get their heads around the way these things climb just in time to forget about the tails. Don't you be one of them."

She wrinkled her nose, that did not sound good at all. She peered at the photo and nodded understanding what Shepard was showing her. "I will no be forgetting" The tail was a weapon, the blood was a weapon, these creatures were really strong. "So how do you be killing them?"

"From a distance," a pointed stare, held steady, "Ideally, with a lot of bullets. But you're fast, and you have sharp eyes. You can be useful even if you're not deadly."

She nodded, "I do be being really fast." A fast thief, good at escaping, good at spying and killing and getting away quickly.

She hoped these guns had lots of bullets, they were going to need them.

"Good girl," And that sharp nod was a dismissal, "You'll stay alive."

Because certainly wouldn't be returning undue favor with the same, if any of the tributes died. Bastards.

"You will be staying alive too." Pruna grinned at her before rushing off, she had a lot of people to talk to and a lot of things to learn.
