(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.

A sigh. A roll of her eyes.

"I did not choose the teams you simple minded peasant. The Capitol understands the importance of teamwork and the strength it can provide."

With a distasteful frown she locked her predatory stare on his eyes. "So why would they randomly throw teams together do you suppose? If they know everyone's strengths and weaknesses what possible purpose would that serve?"

Blink. Blink. "Did you just call me a peasant?" He raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

"Perhaps they think our skills complement each other, but that means shit if we don't know how each other fight."

"Prove me wrong." She responded plainly before moving on.

"Understand now, that the Capitol has been managing these sorts of affairs for years and years. So do you think that this decision was made overlooking that obvious fact? If not what other reason could there be?" She pressed him, her sharp eyes burning with accusation.

He raised an eyebrow, wishing for once that he was as clever as Lip, so he could prove her wrong in a few sentences, but he would just make a fool of himself if he tried.

"Like I know how the fuck their minds work." He shrugged, "Maybe they just want to get rid of a few of us."

"Maybe." She acknowledged paying more attention to her data pad information then his dismay "But there are easier ways of doing that. You are ultimately helpless if they want something of you."

Then a smirk as she peered at him from over the pad, "I'm sure you'll figure it out sooner or later...or you'll die. Either would be fine with me."

"Was there actually a point to you coming to talk to me?" He asked her annoyed, "Except to tell me how little choice I have in any of this?"

"To get to know all the tributes I will be responsible for when the time comes to provide you with information. It's better to look each of you in the eye and determine who's most likely to live through this experience." A smirk and a nod.

"Good luck out there." She added showing very little actual interest in his survival.

"Great." He muttered, "Guess I'll be hearing from you tomorrow."
