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.

Mouse | The Matrix | Main Banquet Hall

"Now this. This is getting a little more familiar."

So there was no real electricity. Or heat. Or many of those things pretty conducive to organic life. There was still the leftovers. Tasty, crispy, not at all grey goop like left overs. And a fire to sit cross-legged next to while he munched on them, more or less contently wrapped in a blanket. True, this had to be one of the stranger programs he'd ended up connected to, but that was life for you. If the matrix was easy they'd all be free already.

At least he still had his hat to keep him warm.

Courfeyrac had an idea to raid the banquet hall during the mess of confusion about the power and the snow, and thinking it would be an original one, he sauntered in, expecting that he should be alone and have the first choice of foods. Clearly this was a miscalculation, however. He frowns at the state of things, not out of anger, but out of jealousy.

Approaching the kid in the blanket, he wonders, "Are there anymore of those little tarts with the cream inside?"

Heels clicked on the floor as she approached, an invader to the ground of the tributes who rightfully belonged and deserved the feast. She still walked among the crowd with ease, not as though she were one of them, but as though she owned the place. It wasn't too far from the truth - Kaena had aspirations that reached high in the hierarchy of the society she lived in.

The clicks stopped. She stood behind the young man, tall and lean, make-up dark, gown elaborately wrapped around her body, showing legs. Kaena tilted her head appreciatively, scanning him from head to toe.

"Aren't you a precious little thing."
