(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.

"Fine," Karkat all but shrieks. "Fine. Go and suck up to your future Grand Highblood, you always cared more about your fucking law than people anyway. I hope you're fucking quick about it when he sends you to cull me."

And then this time he really does spin around and stomp off in what he's hoping is Signless' direction because he really does need some shooshpaps right now, because Terezi's so full of shit, she is, he's known Gamzee Makara for sweeps and Karkat is fairly sure he's incapable of the kind of subtlety you'd need to "play" everybody, isn't he?

Except he misjudged Terezi so terribly, thought she was so much better than she was, so maybe he could be misjudging Gamzee now, fuck.

Even if he was, it didn't stop Karkat from missing him.

How can one person misunderstand everything so completely? Terezi doesn't know, but she really wants to throw something at him. Did it really take that little to convince him that she was some heartless monster? ...How much trust did he have in her to begin with, then? If it was broken so easily?

She lets him leave without a word. She doesn't really have anything else to say to him. She's just... so tired of this. For a moment, she bows her head into her hands, rubbing at her face. Her eyes string a little, but she's not about to allow that. There's work to be done. With a deep breath, she lifts her head against and resumes sniffing through her folders.
