(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.

"You are welcome." Sigma smiles faintly. "Very well, if it so happens that the two of us should meet in the Arena, if we could be allies if even for a moment, I would consider our accounts cleared." That was one way of forming a pact of nonviolence, Sigma supposed.

Now Dr. Klim was insatiably curious. This man was no human, that much was clear, but Sigma had yet to learn the abilities of trolls, if any. Trolls were certainly much more frightening than humans on first sight, but the Doctor was unconvinced that that was what he spoke of - he had asked repeatedly now about the Alien psyche. Sigma leaned in to better hear the Initiate. "Is there a way you can do that? Appeal to their fears?" he inquired.

He cracks a grin at last. "DEAL." That was better. Much more comfortable to have something hanging on the line besides faint hope. And likewise, it meant failure would have consequence. Far more familiar terms.

He nods. Trolls were made to be scary. His kind especially. But Sigma was right to think there was more to it. "My caste, those of indigo hue, are gifted with holy power what is all to be referred unto as chucklevoodoo. BLESSED UNTO US A CONTROL AND MANIPULATION OF FEAR AND ALL THAT IT GOVERNS. The psyche may well be my motherfucking canvas what all to do as I please. HAVE NEVER BEEN WITHOUT IT BEFORE HIS COMING HERE. It is extension of my ownself; SIN FOR IT TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN. But it has been promised return and he expects at for them to follow through."
