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.
Welcome to the test drive meme for
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!

She tightens her hand on his.
"But we need to play it our way."

"Murders aren't a problem here," he says. "No cases for me to solve, no puzzles to be fixed. I am afraid, Watson, there is no 'our way'."
He feels defeated. More than slightly.

She squeezes his hand again, and turns to start skating.
"We always have a choice how we react to the situation we're in. I refuse to kill anyone. And some people like that. People are the same here as anywhere. They want heroes and monsters."
It's something the other Sherlock told her when they first met.
no subject
"People have tried to escape, I imagine," he replies, skating alongside her. His motions are fairly fluid, if simple. He may or may not have been here for some time in order to think.
no subject
"Honestly, I don't know. But considering everything, I don't think escape is possible. Everyone watches the games. Most of the people in the Capitol are rabid fans, but even in the districts, I think it's mandatory. A blatant display of the Capitol's power and ruthlessness. So every Tribute's face is well known. Add to that the omnipresent surveillance, the tracking chips they inject every Arena, and the fact that the Capitol has all your friends..."

"They only have you," he replies. "And you can come with me."
no subject
She feels a strange sense of guilt about her closeness to their counterparts. Sherlock, her Sherlock, is and will always be her number one priority. But that doesn't make her care any less about her friends.
no subject
"Implying we can never go home again." Sherlock sounds dubious. More than that, he doesn't want her to be right. He doesn't want to be here in this horrible place forever.
"I'm still in awe that someone else would name their child that," he says. "It seems unnecessarily cruel."
no subject
She reaches over and takes his arm, skating closer.
"You know they're always listening, right? They're on backup power now, but we have to be careful not to talk like this anywhere else."
