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.

[Appearances were easy enough to keep up. The same simple sort of game he'd always played albeit with different rules. Little had been explained, true, but there was no point to asking stupid questions. Answers were garnered easily enough with patience, and that patience was fortuitously being tempered with a banquet almost as would befit a king. (Almost, because, well.) That left only waiting - waiting and observing, for whatever reason they'd all been called here for or whatever power had managed to pull him here from his own realm.]

[He wasn't the only one biding his time. Harry picked his way along the banquet table, taking a piece here and there without looking at them, eyes always moving. He knew how many Peacekeepers there were in the room, their uniforms obvious. He knew, a little more roughly, how many of the attendees were 'guests' like himself. And he knew when someone else was playing the watching game too. Another aimless wander across that side of the room, and he leaned against a table near the other watcher, picking at his food with a blankly pleasant expression.]

You look as new as me.
