[ 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."

Though Thor hadn't been particularly scared or worried for his own life upon arrival, he understands the value of alliances and support systems in a place like this more than ever. The relay of information and the simple ability to keep one another sane is crucial.

He raises a brow at her question, not quite sure how to answer. "If I were to list them all, we could be here for some time." He chuckles to himself. "Do you seek protection or friendship? Neither will be a challenge to come by."

"Steve Rogers." He says without a doubt. "He resides in District Nine, alongside Elsa. Both have good hearts, both are kind." He offers her a helpful smile. "Carlos of District Ten can be.. a strange man, at times. But he is most helpful."

He could go on for a while, but he'll keep it at that for now. "You will be alright. I cannot promise safety, but I can promise you will forge strong friendships."

"I've not heard of it." But he's grinning back anyway, Midgardians and their endearing terms for things will be the death of him. "Have I put you more at ease for the moment?"
