(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.

Sigma felt a cold chill run down his spine as Miss Akemi spoke. Hers was not the voice of a person who would blindly believe an old fool's impossible story, but of someone who perhaps understood. There had been no others in his world who did other than Phi, and she slept in ice for the majority of his life, but he remembered the dark hopelessness that had been in her voice as they faced their infinite deaths. It was similar to what he heard now.

"Thank you," and he had not realized he had spoke.

"..That is the difficult part," Sigma continued stonily. "It is true I can change fate, however... my foresight only works if someone in the future has died or been mortally wounded. Setting up someone's death as a means of proving a point, even if it only existed in a timeline separate to ours, would be... unpleasant," he finished. "And so I will need your help assuring them."

Similar. But not entirely. She still had her hope, her goal, her wish. She refused to give it up. She couldn't.

"Of course." Homura looked at him, studying him. "I wonder. If they can give such a power back to you here, right now...have they given them back in the past? Has there been a time you've used them before in this world?"

An example, one that could be backed up in some way. Unlike anything she could do.

Sigma paused. He hadn't thought about that. "As a matter of fact, I did save a boy with that very ability in the Arena, three rounds ago. His name was Alex Rider. The footage from that Arena should still be accessible..."

"If it can't be shown at present, perhaps it would be best to reference it anyhow." Homura picked her cup up once again, drawing a sip from it. "To at least point to something which can prove it to the team, once a chance comes up to see it."
