Warnings/Notes| I'll add any if they pop up.



[Waking up is as frightening an experience as it had been finding himself in Panem in the first place. The crushing disappointment upon waking and realizing that, indeed, this isn't a nightmare is palpable--and so too is the sudden realization that Blaine is nowhere to be found.

It's late in the evening, and Kurt is alone and terrified. He considers hiding and waiting for Blaine to appear again, but that feels too much like waiting to die. So he gets up and stretches his legs a little, moving around while still staying close to the spot where he'd fallen asleep.

He's hyper-aware of every sound and movement around him, so a sudden nearby beeping has him jumping out of his skin. What looks like a small parachute is descending a few yards away, and he remembers what he was told about supplies-- Quickly he runs out to retrieve it, and is surprised to see his name on.

Inside is some food, and he realizes quite suddenly just how hungry he is. It takes a lot of willpower not to scarf it all down at once, and he sits as far away from the marsh as he can (it smells horrible) to eat some of it.

He's alone, scared and completely unarmed.]

[he let his arms rest on his knees, mostly to keep the Tribute at ease. He glanced up at the sky, the surrounding buildings, looking for the cameras. The Capitol was pretty good; Daniel had yet to find a single one yet, but he was pretty sure they had to be everywhere. ]

You're familiar with Gandhi, right? The concept behind freedom rides or sit-ins? 1968 protests?

[showbizpanache]

Um...sure. Of course. [He narrows his eyes.] You think we should just collectively refuse to participate in this? Do you really think that would work?

[hi_there_aliens]

[a small shrug]

I don't think it'll be quite so simple, or maybe even do-able in its original form... but the general idea is worth a shot.

I'm not saying that Tributes should sit there and let someone come up and attack them. I'm sure there will be those who will try to take advantage of the idea; if it comes down to it, you should defend yourself. But when it comes down to the line, and if remaining Tributes all refuse to initiate on the other Tributes, what then?

[showbizpanache]

[His eyes light up with hope, perhaps too easily. It's pretty apparent from the get-go how naive and trusting he is.]

That's a wonderful idea. I'd be happy to participate. Do you need help spreading the word?

[hi_there_aliens]

[And that worries Daniel a little. He hopes Blaine will watch out for him]

Yes, any help would be great. [but he holds up a hand] But there might be some Tributes who aren't interested in listening, much less the idea at all. They might only trust themselves, and I wouldn't blame them. A lot of this depends on trust and counting on your fellow tributes.

[Daniel stands up. He's pleased that he's gotten the word to this Tribute and Punchy so far. There might be some hope of it spreading. He dusts off the pants]

Just...be careful. Please.

[showbizpanache]

You too.

Are you, um. Leaving? You can take some more food with you for later.

[hi_there_aliens]

[Daniel gives him a small smile. Kurt seems decent enough, and too generous in some ways]

Thanks, but I couldn't impose more. Keep it, for yourself and Blaine. I have a lot of people to try and find anyway.

Good luck.
