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.

kaena | OC ( panem au )

[sisterhood]

Kaena wasn't exactly unknown among these parts. A new face, yes, a débutante with her eyes set on the higher reaches of society and her claws sunk deep into the roots of corruption, but a name that had long ago been heard of. She was known for her hunger for power, her thirst for knowledge of the supernatural and the esoteric, with added interest in tributes who could not call themselves fully human without telling a little white lie. It was true that every citizen of Panem wanted little more than to watch these tributes do what they had brought in to do - survive and kill - but Kaena saw more potential in them than that. It was only a matter of time until she drained them of it.

Gown elaborate and make-up dark on her lips and around her eyes, the pale witch brushed her fingers on the lip of a glass, eyes downcast before her gaze fluttered around the room, slow and intent. She would not go to them - she'd wait for them to come to her, and when they did, she'd softly say:

"I've been watching you."
