(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.

"Which I still haven't figured out yet!" Harley suddenly looked thoughtful "With all this technology they have here they've barely gotten any pictures of the things, and if we die out here they can't bring us back?"

Her smirk became sardonic, "Or won't?"

"Or won't," Holiday repeated. She was about as sure as Harley on that one, but... seriously.

"I've noticed the incredible lack of pictures and I have several theories on it. Either these things are really out of their control and they're sending in the most replaceable people at their disposal, we're actually fighting against something that wants to help us and therefore making the enemy believe we don't want their help, or it's not an invasion at all and just more of a crowd pleaser. Or something else I haven't thought of yet."

Harley gasped in shock at the suggested theories.

"I would have never even considered they might be friendlies. Wowzers that puts a whole NEW spin on it. Glad I don't have to be one of the poor suckers going down there to break bread and bones with those acid drooling mutant roaches from beyond the stars." Her rambling came out in a long line and so she had to gasp for breath afterwards but her smile was as silly as ever.
doc_holi: (bad influence)

"Me, too," she smirked, "but that doesn't matter at this point. We have no choice but to fight them now that we've signed up. It would have happened anyway."

Harley shrugged. "What's life without some pain and frustration?" She mused and then slung an arm around Holiday's shoulders.

"Boring! And say what you will about this place, it's never boring!"
doc_holi: (sneaky smile)

Holiday smiled. "You know what? You're right. I mean it's not great, but it's not boring either... Sometimes I'd almost prefer boring."

Sometimes.

Harley chuckled and gave Holiday a squeeze.

"Peaceful maybe but never boring. Like a lazy Sunday afternoon where you don't even bother to put on pants and eat through like a whole bag of chips."
