Welcome new Tributes!

The Capitol has gathered a good crop of you at once, and to help morale, and to ease you into Capitol society they are throwing a banquet, just for those who work with the Games. Stylists, Escorts, mentors, a few of the Capitol elite, and of course, you all, the Tributes.

Instead of waking up in the normal way, new Tributes awake in lush beds, in a very posh ski lodge. Elegant but simple clothes are laid out for them, in a warm grey, and a note to come down as soon as they are ready. And if they linger too long, a peacekeeper appears to escort them down.

Those from the Capitol, are brought in on chartered party buses, one for each District, which are about as posh as a bus can get. It's a roughly 45 minute drive, well out of the Capitol's city limits.

Although the party is "mellow" by Capitol standards, it is still pretty damn extravagant. Alcohol flows freely, and banquet tables are kept fully stocked by silent avoxes. The whole ski lodge has been cleared out, and guest can hit up an ice skating rink, or pick out a swim suit and jumped into the huge, natural hot springs tubs.

As the night drags on, however, all does not go as planned. Half way through the night, there is a tremendous roar, and the hotel is plunged into pitch blackness. There is chaos for roughly 10 minutes, till low power emergency lights flicker on. However the generators don't have the power to keep the heater going.

A first aid station is set up, and the avoxes start pulling in blankets to the main lobby, lighting a fire in the fireplace and doing what they can to keep everyone warm. It is quickly communicated that there was an avalanche, and although the hotel remains in good shape, the power and the road to the Capitol has been cut out.

It's going to be a long night.

Michiru Kaiou | Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (Panem AU)

When the party had been announced, it was natural that the Capitol would require the services of musicians for the banquet. As per usual, a short list was drawn up, and Michiru was on it. She made no complaint, then. when the knock came on the door, and a Peacekeeper informed her that she was to perform the next night. And to dress well - and carefully.

As a loyal District 4 citizen, of course Michiru gladly complied. And so when it was time for her solo, she was ready. Her attire was deceptively simple - her low-cut, spaghetti strap dress was blue, as were her long gloves, seemingly made of shimmering material. On closer look, however, the dress revealed that it was made of hundreds of elegant sheen satin scales, which individually glittered in the lights. A conch shell clip kept most of the hair out of her face as she picked up her violin out of its case.

Slowly taking off her gloves - men in the audience enjoyed it - and then brought the violin to her cheek with a delicate bend of her neck. Her bow was rosined and her strings were taut. And so, she played. And when she was done playing, and the claps had ceased, she mingled, looking to see who was new, and who was old, among the Tributes. To talk to them. To gauge them.

After all, if any rebel knew how to play the Capitol well and leave them unsuspecting, it was those of her home District. Even now they did so, navigating the cold, murky waters, confusing the sharks. And the violinist couldn't just let her comrades have all the fun playing in that water without her.

"I see you've come to grace us with your talent again."

Kaena spoke smoothly, with a pleasant purr to her voice. Her hair was platinum blond, a stylistic choice she often made to match her bright colored gowns. If Michiru's outfit was a sight to behold, Kaena had made sure hers took the spotlight in its own right, a touch of class with a scratch of an edge.

She waited, glass in her hand, eyes intently set on the young woman. A smile curled the corner of her lips, giving an almost feline quality to her features.
