[ District 6 Suite ]

At first when Skye wakes up she thinks Hydra must have her, and it's only the nausea and disorientation sweeping over her that prevents her from trying to physically assault one of the peacekeepers when they come to lead her away. 

(Portals are such a bitch. Thanks for nothing, stupid Nordic alien gods.)

It's once they get her to the Training Center and give her the vague welcome spiel that she realizes how wrong she was. This isn't Hydra. This is, if it's even possible, much worse.

She drags herself into the bathroom and stares at her reflection in the mirror, feeling numb and cold as she tries to process what she's been told. A battle to the death. Things were just starting to seem like they'd be able to make a go for the better, and now she's here, trapped in some foreign world for a celebrity deathmatch. Are you kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? And then: there it is, anger, bubbling up hot and fast. She wrestles it down.

First things first: she needs more information, and she needs to see if she can find her team. Skye pushes her hair back and steps out of the bedroom to meet her suitemates.


[ The Commons ]

She's fiddled with her network device by now, and already figured out the vast breadth of digital information is locked to her--for now. The Tributes list and network had no records of her team, but that doesn't mean anything. They could be here off the record, under lock and key. She knows nothing about how these people operate.

On the other hand, she did see several other familiar names and faces, and her stomach flipped nervously when she saw them. Really? They're pitting a Level 1 agent up against the Avengers? Talk about unfair play.

So in the meantime, she's stuck to good, old-fashioned info hunting. Which is to say, she'd changed into a brightly-colored dress upstairs and is now approaching strangers downstairs with a stunning, confident smile, one hand held out to shake. "Hi! I don't think we've met yet. I'm Skye."

"Hm." Roland follows the direction of her glance, corners of his lips twitching briefly upward, then begins to slide his way back around the edges of the crowd and to the doors. "Like I said, lots of shopping. Whatever you're looking for, doubt you'll find it there. Food. President's mansion, in front of us." He holds a door open for her, waving his other hand in front of them. "Probably not wise to try and show you much of that. Couple places that show off some of the things these people can do with their machines, though not much that can't be figured out from the arenas. Anywhere you'd like to start?"

Roland follows her out, waiting an arm's length away and watching her look the place over. "Hm. No chance." He looks out over the view himself, but he's more focused on deciding whether to share what he knows about that - rather, what he's heard - than on seeing it. Would it be cruel, to share both parts of what he knows? To share the implications of it? Well, this whole place is cruel. Maybe best to get this particular cruelty out of the way now, so she can better face the others.

No one seemed to care when the information was shared with Roland so there's probably no danger of looking suspicious. Won't hurt, though, to start a slow, casual stroll up the avenue, so that's what he does. "A while back, some of us were granted visitors from our worlds. One tribute, Maximus, had a visitor from after his time. After he'd been taken. No one noticed his absence, because he'd never been absent. He'd never left." Best to see what she makes of that before sharing the rest. Disturbing enough on its own, probably.
