Nobody reacted to Dante's taunt. Or, to be more precise, the ones who were likely to respond were on his side, while the more weaker tributes didn't dare confront a perhaps crazy man with a weapon.
Tiberius extended a figurative hand of alliance to Sheen and Annita from districts 1 and 2 as fellow Careers. They cautiously joined the group, and also claimed a pack each. Tiberius picked up a pack.
Dylan flipped the lever then dropped to the ground, in case it was booby-trapped. The south gate retracted into the ground without a sound, and he made his exit. Being careful to tread on less track-able grass and avoid dirt, he crept into the forest. He saw no-one around him, and was pretty sure he wasn't being followed. The forest had a pleasant smell, and birds sang everywhere. He saw a squirrel dashing up a tree to protect its hoard; and a honeybee lazily drifting in the air.
Griph attempted to get his bearings. He was in some alleys, and couldn't hear the Cornucopia. He started towards the high fence peeking out between a bunch of buildings.
The east gate (marked as "E") had a lever to the side of it. Griph cautiously tugged on the lever. Nothing happened, so he went out.
Wikus's pack held an empty water bottle, a thin sleeping bag, a palm-sized pack of beef jerky and a pair of binoculars. Wikus decided to head into a building some distance away, and opened the door. It was unlocked and dark. Entering a lobby, he observed a number of ornamental trees, a reception desk (abandoned), a staircase to the far left, elevators to the right, and two push-bar opened steel doors beside the elevators. The elevator lights were on.
Nabisco swung open a random building's doors. Luckily, they were unlocked. The building had a reception hall, a large flight of stairs leading down and splitting into two paths, a spiral staircase leading upwards, and some more regular stairs also leading up.
Lexx looked around, but all of the non-Career tributes had already fled into the city. Still, she kept up here stance.
Cole, who is definitely a boy, backed up Dante's challenge to the empty park.
Gail waved at Lexx and Tiberius, not caring for fighting, and walked over to them.
Keena ran out into the city's streets. Offhandedly, she noticed that the street's layout would be disastrous if she was against an opponent that wielded a crossbow. She saw no-one, except for a glimpse of a pair of legs in the distance.
Sohac also had no-one to fight, as they had all fled.
Ferrel chose a building that looked lucky. Before entering, he glanced around to see if anyone was following. Due to the utilitarianism of the streets, there was frankly nothing to hide behind. Making sure that he was, indeed, alone, he swung a door open a tiny bit and slipped inside. There was a counter in the opposite right corner, and a set of elevators on the left. The elevators were all on.
Gail picked up some serrated knifes, one weapon-breaking knife, and a piece of bread.
Wikus thought of talking to someone from his own district, but now that he thought of it, Lexx was his female counterpart. Maybe he should have not wrestled the spear from Sohac. Wikus reckoned Sohac would not hesitate to stick a spear in him first chance. He thought of his brilliant plan to destroy the force field of the arena and felt a tad happy inside.
Time: About 2 o-clock, 30 minutes has passed since the start.
Note: All buildings are assumed to be dark unless otherwise noted.
What the PCs should do: Post your next action, and preferably set up a number of 'ifs' to facilitate the speedyness of this game. Example:
"Blip enters the staircase and goes up. If there is anything useful, pick it up. If there are any interesting doors, enter. If dangerous, run."
