( Or die, which she suspected was much more likely to be his fate for more than one reason, some not within his control at all. )

I never knew sandals had such utility. I hope some enterprising cobblers are taking advantage.

[D3]

It's only 50 extra to get healing cream over antiseptic. We don't want blood poisoning to addle Hugh's creativity.

I'm giving up the ghost - my hopes are raised, my confidence is swollen. Come, oh Capitol Needles, deflate me.

( It should have reassured him, but it didn't. )

[D3]

A carrier for his water bottle made out of sandals. Crafty. And water found. I'm not in the habit of rewarding necessity, but I expect you'll be able to make something of him, Felix.

It's been awhile since we've had a tribute on their own from the outset. I do think it always produces more ingenuity.

[D5 and Bit]

I'm sorry he didn't find her sooner, but I appreciate the timing on the knife.

[D3]
How did it go?

I have yet to hear back from 12 regarding your prospective alliance; this isn't uncommon, as once scores are released and interviews had, there is a frenzy of finalization.

THAT SAID - should 12 venture in a different direction, do you two wish to go it alone, or should I we put further inquiries out to other Districts?

WHO: Escorts, Victors, and Tributes
WHEN: Various times throughout the day.
WHERE: Districts
WHAT: The Reaping for the 57th Annual Hunger Games
STATUS: OPEN

In each district, Peacekeepers and camera crews are out in force. Male and Female tributes are roped off by age group and away from the rest of the district's population. Excitement and anticipation lace the air in Districts 1, 2, and 4 while dread and fear are felt almost everywhere else.

The mayor and all victors are seated on stage in the background. It's a big moment for the Escorts, who take center stage.

WHO: Prometheus Clyde and all staffers/victors!
WHERE: Auction House, the Capitol
WHEN: Day #7, early afternoon; sometime after [REDACTED]
WHAT: A special Auction -- all adult characters received an invitation
STATUS: open

Prometheus Clyde is the premier auctioneer and go-to guru for rare artifacts. He holds somewhat sporadic auctions, all of which are huge hits and generally leave the attendees wanting more. He's an expert at finding highly valued and desired items -- if he has it, you want it. Prometheus also has a highly sensitive fashion sense and wouldn't be caught dead in anything but the latest trends, which, of course, goes for cosmetic surgery as well. Currently, he sports permanent body glitter and is also wearing a vintage Bit Coyne eye patch (though it is in honor of the recent trends set by Jet and Zap).

The auction itself is open to both Capitolites and Victors alike -- though its no secret the former's bids are favored, particularly when the items in question are things victor may wish to remove from public access. The auction house is open for about two hours prior to the show beginning. There is a recess for lunch and refreshments, as well as an after party to celebrate everyone's purchases. Plenty of sponsors abound, so smooze away!


OOC NOTE: If your character placed a bid on something, please make a note in the appropriate sub-thread. I'll do a roll and let you know the winners after everyone has had time to respond. Capitolites do get a weighted preference.

NOTE 2 One district will receive a special sponsor bonus for participation, due noon Feb 17.

WHO: Bit Coyne, Beetee Latier, and NPC Capitolite Faye Vrit
WHAT: Don't worry sponsors, District 3 still has a tribute!
WHEN: After (spoilers) Ace died.
WHERE: Somewhere in the Capitol
STATUS: Completed log

( Ace was another face, another name, another tribute who in a few years no one would remember except the family he had back home. )

You know the old saying: May the odds be ever in your favor.

[District 3 Tributes & Mentors]

At this point, you two are as prepared for the arena as you will ever be. Rest up and don't be nervous. In an average year, simply surviving the Cornucopia increases each tribute's odds substantially.

You're both pragmatic, though, and aware of your chance of survival. We can't escape the fact that only one person will come out of that arena. Regardless of the outcome, we will be delivering some bad news to at least one family in District 3. Do you have any messages you'd like to pass along in the event of your death?

WHO: Beetee Latier and Wiress Lag.
WHAT: Talking about talking to the tributes.
WHEN: Day… 4? While the kids are at training, anyway.
WHERE: Nerd homebase, third floor of the Training Center.
WHY: Faraday said to.
STATUS: Complete.

( I was hoping we could talk -- about the tributes. )

[District 3]

Ace, Machine --

You will undoubtedly hear about this tomorrow. District 7 has proposed an alliance consisting of all tributes not from Districts 1, 2, and 4. I'd like to hear your initial reactions first, but I will say that I am in favor of telling the others that District 3's tributes are in, regardless of what you ultimately decide, which may afford you some immunity at the Cornucopia.

Arena predictions?

[District 3]

Good news! Machine and I have agreed to ally. The specific terms are still pending negotiation, but suffice to say we will benefit from [...] mutual trust.

Overtures of friendship to the male tributes from Districts 5 and 7 appear to have been well-received. District 6 female was also amicable, but I question her usefulness. District 6 male appeared [...] ambivalent. Will approach District 12 male tomorrow if possible.

District 4 female has targeted Machine alrea

WHO: Beetee Latier [33rd victor] & Ace Packet [D3 tribute]
WHAT: Everyone’s a critic.
WHEN: A few months before this year’s reaping.
WHERE: The Hot Spot café, District 3.
WARNINGS: None!
STATUS: Complete log

( Excuse me, sir. You have been selected to participate in me and my friends’ survey. )

[District 3]

Make sure to visit every station over the course of your training days. While some may not feel applicable, even with your current skill set, there are sometimes clues hidden in the activities they choose. I'd like you to contact Beetee and I tonight with what you think is your greatest strength and how you feel it will be best utilized in the Arena. I don't have to remind you that your time is invaluable and that you will dictate to us how best we might prepare you within it. As you are able to better analyze your opponents, we can tailor specific strategies.
