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.


OOC INFORMATION


Welcome to the test drive meme for [community profile] thegames!

We are both a jamjar and a Hunger Games AU character game. You can choose to either have your character ported in from their world or AU them into Panem. Detailed knowledge of the Hunger Games is not required. We accept just about any character and character type that we can work into the world, including AUs, OCs, and up to 3 multiples (however, each versions of a character must be significantly different from the others.)

All the information you need can be found in this post, which can always be found at the top of the mod account. And if you don't find something you need, the FAQ is here, so drop us a line!

Welcome, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

He bows his head a bit, "No no don't apologize! I was the one who interrupted you."

The apology was completely sincere. He should have been more aware, and respected the girl's privacy. Maybe it was because he was missing his twin sister's company, and didn't realize it?

"So my apologies," he bowed his head again, before looking up at her, a bit embarrassed by the whole situation now.

"I was just totally out of it, it's fine... Really."

Her reassurance is just as sincere. She was in a weird spot of being way over stimulated by being around so many people-- yet still needing social interaction. She couldn't really tell what she wanted more right now: time alone or someone to talk to. But he seemed nice enough, and she has a habit of trusting complete strangers... So, she smiled, a bit awkwardly. "I'm not mad, promise."

He smiled at her smile, "If you insist...It's nice to meet you. My name is Subaru."

It was only fair to introduce himself first, nor expect her to introduce herself at all since he'd surprised her. He sat near her, while still giving her some distance. He'd been to a hot springs before, but the bathing areas had been split by gender.
