(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.

Perry: Team 10

It must be something that he didn't believe in, like fate, that had him going on a military endeavor so soon after he'd arrived here. If there was anything Perry knew, now, it was going up against something that kills people.

And from what his file said, they weren't entirely sure on what this was. Obviously a kind of monster, but if they really wanted this group of people to go up against a monster on some killing spree... really, this group? Perry hadn't seen a sorrier group of people who were clearly unready to go on any kind of mission.

Perry busied himself with reading the thin file, and then checking the weapons. He knew weapons, and he didn't need to read that file more then once. And there wasn't anyone here that he had to say goodbye to. He would do the job they'd given him, and that was it.

Unlike Perry, there was someone else who was reading the file as many times as he could. Jack was trying to absorb what he could before the inevitable. He was no soldier and he knew it. But it didn't matter much, did it? He'd willingly volunteered, hadn't he? Why?

Because he was the King of Victors, that was why. He was the best they had.

Right?

So, paying little heed to the man sitting next to him, he continued to read, trying to familiarize himself with weapons that, in his time as a Tribute, were out of the question. A person would get laughed out of a place for even hinting that one day, the Capitol would be forced to give Tributes any kind of firearm in order to up the game.

Except now who was laughing, he wondered.

For all his seriousness about this, when he picked up an AK-47 (or what seemed to be like one, who knew what they called anything here), he couldn't help but smile just a little bit. Glancing over at the guy next to him, started to take it apart.

"Looks like they didn't spare any expense on the stuff we get to use." He says it all rather casually, fingers taking everything apart in no time. "Don't know on the groups, though. Do they really think little kids can do this kind of thing?"

There are no weapons in the room. Just so you're aware? XD

"...Why not?" His response was quiet, with nary a tone of arrogance. "Everyone's taught how to use other weapons."

Jack wasn't sure whether he was being sarcastic or not. Actually, when it came to being sure about anything...

He hadn't seen hide or hair of Calico. Again. Damnit.

Wow I missed that whole paragraph xD Ignore that part pretend he's pointing at the list!

"I thought guns weren't allowed in the arena?" Perry frowned a little bit, looking down at the list again. Grenades, guns, all kinds of things, but then, he'd only been down to the training room once before this all happened.

Of course he comes here just in time for a fight against some kind of monsters. "Because if they are, I would be more prepared."
akingalways: (wat)

No problem!

"They're not." Jack looked at Perry incredulously. "But most of us Victors know how to kill and what to kill with. All of us have our strengths."

Speaking of which, he hoped he'd be able to get a weapon or two from the Training Center. Guns weren't the only things around, after all, right?

"Perry right?" Shion stood nearby, hoping he had guessed right. He had papers in his hands as well though they really didn't hold that much information and Shion had memorised them already.

He didn't need to study the file again. Checking the weapons list, checking the information they knew about this thing they needed to fight. But he didn't know what else he was supposed to do. Look at everyone? He didn't want to stare. What if they looked back?

"That's right." He glanced at this kid, looked away, and then glanced back. "Are you with our team?"

"Not exactly." He said with a tiny smile, "I have been assigned to your group as intel, so I will be monitoring your movements."
