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!

The banquet hall was too loud and everybody smelled bad.

What he meant was, everybody was perfumed and dolled up and they wouldn't stop chattering with one another. Copper wasn't opposed to that, really. Not at all! He liked to think he was quite the friendly fellow, but there was such a thing as too much of a good thing. His good ears and nose had won him the Games, and at times like these they only gave him a headache. He had wandered away from the noise with a small smile on his face, eager to explore, looking positively boyish. There was a spring to his step and that would sometimes slow when he'd pass one of those new other-world Tributes.

He finds the ice rink and makes a move to give the experience a try, but stops himself. No, no, no use making himself look like a fool without a friend to share the misery with. He stays watching, happy to see everyone else seemingly enjoying themselves.

"So why aren't you out there?" Copper asks whoever comes up next to him, turning to them with a lopsided grin. He wouldn't even mind it if they didn't recognize him- he just liked the new company.

Lady was only just reacquainting herself with life in the Capitol and life on two feet again when their excursion had been announced, and it took a lot of practice for her to stand steady on her legs, let alone glide around like an ice princess. She was thoroughly out of her element, and it was obvious from the way she hesitated before daring to let go of the baords.

"I don't think I can make it," she said, voice hitched and panicked. "I'll fall down. I might fall through the ice."
