Age glances down the hall to make sure no one is following her and then she silently shuts the door behind her. The new room is cramped and windowless and contains only a couple benches and coat racks. "It's just a closet, but it'll work for our purposes," Age thinks to herself. She sits down and waits for Fenlen.

Fenlen nearly gets lost finding the new alliance room and takes about 10 minutes to remember the passcode that unlocks the door. When he finally makes it into the room, he sees Age and hopes she hasn't been waiting long. "Nice job in the private session," he says, sitting down heavily in an overstuffed chair. "We're both in the top half, so that's gotta be a good sign. Any ideas how you're going to tackle the interview?" Fenlen had been pondering how he would like to come across in the interview as well - strong and silent? Humble and friendly? Mean and aggressive? Anything to keep from shaking like a leaf up there. "One thing I know I'm going to do is be sure to talk up our alliance a little bit. We know our district usually scrapes together their collective resources to send at least one gift and if we are working together, they may send something we can both use. Also, wealthier districts may sympathize with the poor team from the cattle herds that has a pretty good standing."

"That's not a bad idea! We should probably both act like we have a big team so people assume we're in one of those Blue or Primrose alliances. Then maybe they'll stay away from us at the cornucopia!"
"Speaking of the cornucopia... Any ideas? Should we risk going in? We both have some really good fighting skills so we might be able to grab a couple things before we run off. And what direction should we meet?"

"Good idea for the interview. A bit of a bluff may not be a bad strategy. As for the cornucopia, I agree we can grab a couple things, but I'm not too keen on charging deep into the middle or trying to grab too much. Barring a desolate game arena, we could probably shoot some animals for sustenance, but I guess we won't know until we get there. Im mostly hoping to snag a bow and quiver of arrows. I'm not sure about direction yet. We could agree on something simple for now - 200 yards due north - but if it turns out that's in the middle of a pond, we'd have to change it up pretty quickly. Maybe have a backup plan."

"Okay! North it is. By the way, I found a group that wants to join up with us for the cornucopia! The Blue Alliance let me into their private room. The password is "kayak." Make sure to make an appearance in there before tomorrow so they see your face and know to not attack you. They are planning on taking the cornucopia. It might be worth it for us to grab one of the better items since we will have so many allies in there to defend us. But no matter which way they go afterwards, we go North!"

Panting, Fenlen was finally able to pause when he reached the block covered in low hills. He saw Age not far away. Talia was somewhere in the area too. "Wow. That was.... I'm glad we both made it." he said, catching his breath and looking through the backpack. "I got an invite from the Blue alliance as well, but I wasn't able to respond quick enough before they whisked us to the arena, but good thing we made it north. I was able to grab a backpack with preserving salt, medicine, and a net. I also snagged some brass knuckles before getting out of there. Should help in a fight if - when - it comes to that. What were you able to grab?"

Age pulls Fenlen down behind some brush to get out of sight of Talia while they discussed a plan. Age was bleeding pretty badly.
"I went straight for the sword, and I got it too! But that Decimus character from the Blue Alliance double crossed me and stole it, leaving me this bad gash. After Decimus took the sword I was forced to retreat with nothing. We can't trust anybody from the Blue Alliance. They all backstabbed each other and it looks like they all scattered to go their own way. I'm thankful I'm alive for now, but I won't be any use in a battle without getting some rest or treatment."
Age suddenly realized that her coming back wounded and empty handed made her entirely useless to Fenlen.
"But wait, I-I can hunt! I'll make sure we have enough food and I'll share anything I get with you! And I promise I'll try to defend you if anyone attacks us."
Age peeks over the hedge at Talia.
"Now, what about her? Do you think we can take her? We outnumber her and I don't think she picked up a weapon, but I think she might have unarmed skills."
"Also, where should we go? Do you think we should head further from the cornucopia? Or should we try to find Jaden and Kimber and see if we can join them. You seemed to be defending them. Did you have some sort of treaty with them?"

OOC: Okay, unless I hear from you otherwise this will be my plan.
Fight Talia only if Fenlen is also fighting. If sponsor gift is a weapon, use that to fight Talia.
1. Sponsor Gift 2. Stealth 3. Hunt

Fenlen somehow in the rush of everything going on, hadn't noticed how badly hurt Age was until she pulled him down and started talking. He had been so wrapped up in his own actions during the cornucopia struggle that he hadn't even noticed her struggle with Decimus. His relief at finding her and being alive faded and he realized their situation. He could tell she seemed to be trying to prove her worthiness to him still. He could tell how young she was for the first time. "Don't worry, don't worry" he said quickly. "I don't care if you've got a little scrape, you're still a damn good ally - you have good strategy and ideas. Also, I want one of us to make it home, and I"m prepared for it not to be me. I am going to give you this medicine, and we'll try to get rid of Talia today, and things will be looking up. Oh and I do NOT have a treaty with Kimber and Jaden. I just don't know at this point if I could beat them in a fight or if I *want* to, given their sponsor standings. I just wanted to keep them from attacking me right at the cornucopia and get the hell out of there. If my actions keep them from actively hunting me for a little while, then all the better. But from now on, you're the only person I would consider an ally. I don't have enough brain power to keep multiple treaties straight anyway." he tried to laugh a little bit.

● Scout

OOC: sorry for the incredibly late response, by the way. Hopefully the game maker will still consider the actions I sent him, despite missing the deadline...
