How was training today?[WOOF]
Thoughts on them?
Escorts and Stylists have some time to do a little last minute fretting before sending their tributes out in front of all of Panem. The districts go forward from One to Twelve.
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.

We haven't had a tribute in the top eight for awhile. I think? I'm really trying not to get my hopes up, but I can't help but feel a little optimistic now half the Careers are gone.[Ash]
I couldn't help but think of those girls with what happened to Amelia. I don't know why.
This was an awful day for us. We have to work hard for Alex and Amelia more than ever now.[Stitch]
I take back that 'maybe' concering getting better at this.[Dimitri]
You able to sneak out for about an hour?
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.
Well. We've officially made it farther than we did last year.
