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.

Ah! Shit.

[There's a bang in the hallway, probably a small crash if one listened enough or was close by to hear the man stubbing his toe and hitting a wall when the world plunged into darkness.

Tyler looked up and down the hall, not seeing anything but the dark. Great, a power outage... Cool.]

Well, now it's a party!

[He pushes off of the wall, making his place well known from his voice and laugh, before he inches down the hall quietly with the hopes of accidentally running into a lady or four.]

[improvesmorale]

[He crashes into someone's shoulder, disoriented by the dark.

Even in the dark, he can recognize Tyler.

This makes sense. One psychotic break after the other. You start hallucinating that you've been taken to a strange new universe where you need to fight to the death, and suddenly all of your old demons are finding you again.]

-- Goddammit.

[He is more resigned than angry. More disappointed than panicked. He presses his fist into his own leg, as though to say wake up, wake up. He still has the scar from where he shot himself in the face.]

[paperstreetsoap]

[He recognizes that voice. He recognizes that shoulder. That breathing. That air of complete and utter annoyance.]

Dude. [He quietly chuckles.] I thought I lost you. Now that would have sucked.
