(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.

He tried to smother the smile on his lips but it threatened to spread, amused at youth's obsession with itself. But the smile faded, as he thought of his own wife. Or as he tried to. Her face, now well past three years since he had seen it, was harder and harder to bring to mind. Though he could still picture her dark eyes, her dark hair. The knowing smile. But what had her nose looked like? Her lips?

He pushed the thought away as hard as he could manage.

"Ah... I can see you care for her very much," He said carefully, wondering just who else would describe her with an 'ethereal presence'.

"Why, indeed I do, with every vein and heartbeat and element of my being." As Maximus might be able to tell by the stupid, blissful grin plastered on his face. "I would marry her, if she allowed me."

But his eyes widened upon noticing his mentor's disappeared smile, and a hand rose to his mouth to cover his slightly parted lips. "Oh... Forgive me, monsieur, if I had inadvertently caused you grief."
gluteus: (downcast)

He waved a hand, dismissively, disturbed that he had let the grief slip enough into his expression for Marius to notice.

"... It is nothing. I simply remember being young, as well. You should cherish it, while you can. And marry her, if she'll allow you."
saisamour: (bringing me one step closer to you)

Oh, did Maximus say anything else? The very moment he reminded Marius of the thought of marriage, his mind began to drift away again and he failed to hold back another smile. "If I survive, perhaps I would, but..."

But he would give his life to find a way out in the tunnels, for Cosette to escape to. The smile faded, and he bowed once more. "Thank you, for seeing to her safety. She is most kind, and gentle, and charming, and there is no doubt in my mind that you would like her."
gluteus: (over shoudler)

Maximus nodded, an eyebrow raising slightly but he could not quite smile the way he had before.

"I am sure I will," He murmured. "And you have my word that I will protect her."
saisamour: (and with words unspoken)

yes! :3

"You are a good man, monsieur. Again, you have my thanks." A final bow, and a smile of utmost gratitude, and he took a backwards step to extract himself from the conversation.

And then jumped slightly once more at the sight of the tiger, as if he had forgotten it was still there. Feeling a sense of embarrassment at that ungainly display of anxiety, he turned and darted off, scanning the area once more, this time in search of Cosette.
