Scrubs

[Sharlot Cuprick]

The hospital was going to be the easiest place to blend in. Capitol Peacekeepers were less likely to be making rounds in the halls here. Sharlot found a cart containing folded scrubs and she put them on. As long as she looked like she knew what she was doing, no one would question her. Plus it seemed there were already a number of avoxes working as nurses.

She noticed a number of other tributes were at the hospital. She wondered how they were finding supplies. Were they all dumpster diving? Seemed like a dangerous and sketchy way to get morphling.

[Nelson Clark]

Nelson was skulking around in the hospital corridors, with his morphing tucked safely in his jacket. After his district mate had run off, Nelson was at a loss of what to do next. He saw someone creeping around in hospital scrubs and he froze, does he run? Does he attack? Who was she? He briefly recognized her from the feast and training with the other Tributes, but he had no idea about anyone's allegiance. She could be a Peacekeeper for all he knew.
"This uh--this...flu...is pretty bad. You'd better stay back or I'll blow chunks."

[Sharlot Cuprick]

Sharlot took a step back. The kid looked like he was about to heave. She looked around to see if there was a real doctor around. But on second thought, in this tribute's vulnerable state he might be willing to open up to someone who was willing to help. Sharlot snapped a mask on over nose and mouth and hushered him into an empty examination room. She sat him down on the bed and picked up a prescription pad. She scribbled something down, tore off the sheet and handed it to Nelson.

The prescription note says, "If you're sick or hurt maybe we can help each other out. I'm pretty good at scavenging for supplies. I see the rebels have taken over this place. Do you know who any of them are? Did you spy or see who the hackers were yesterday?"

[Nelson Clark]

Nelson followed the girl into the examination room and warily watched her, keeping one eye on the door. If there was any sort of movement towards a needle or any other kind of weapon, he'd just try and get away as fast as he could. Acting sick had backfired from him a little, but hopefully this was an ally and not an enemy. But when she started writing on the prescription pad he relaxed a little. There weren't any triggering alarms or move towards weaponry, so he allowed himself to relax. when she handed him the prescription he eyes her suspiciously,
"Don't take this the wrong way, but I highly doubt you've ever been to medical school." he took the prescription and oH. OH. OH. He read the note over quickly, placing it down on the counter before picking up the pen and with a quick glance to the door, began writing.

I'm not sure who they were; there were a couple people in here the first day....I just ran in here to get away from the chaos by the armory and the market and get supplies before moving. Have other places been taken by the rebels? Where did you come from?

[Sharlot Cuprick]

Sharlot pulled off the mask and stepped toward Nelson, leaning forward so that their eyes were just a foot apart. She stared at him very seriously. Is this guy hiding something, or is he dumb? Then Sharlot scribbled back, and shoved the note back at him.

"I know all the places the rebels occupy, I know where they are headed, and I know six tributes' allegiances. Let's not dance around this. If you want any info from me, you gotta help me out too. Who hacked here yesterday and what were their hack scores?"

[Nelson Clark]

Nelson tried to stare back and withheld the urge to snap the mask right back on her face...but her expression told him that this wasn't the time to be messing around, especially in closed quarters like this and with her murder eyes set on full blast. So he sighed and grabbed the note, licking the pen quickly to get the ink going.

You say something and then I say something and we go back and forth. I'm not giving you information only to have you kill me before the next day. Shit is not happening. I hacked the force field yesterday. with one another person. I'm not giving you the second name  or who scored what until you tell me some info.

[Sharlot Cuprick]

Sharlot smiled and nodded approvingly. I guess he's not as useless as he looks. She wrote Nelson another prescription.

"Deal. Gwendolyn and I hacked at the watchtower. She got a 10 and I got a 5. Rebels won. Gwen and Valeria ran to the Market. Cal is a Peacekeeper. That's like five pieces of information. Your turn!"

[Nelson Clark]

"That's a lot of prescriptions for something as simple as a flu. Someone might think we have a problem." he joked, reading the last note and beginning to write on the next one, crunching up some of the old ones. He debated eating them to prevent someone else from getting to them, but she might think he was nuts.

...yeah I'd say that's decidedly a good trade off.  Okay.

I got a 7 and Gillian got a 10 so rebels took control on the first day. My district mate Sydney also was trying to hack, but i'm not entirely sure for which side. Yeah I'd believe that. Cal looks like a peacekeeper, what with his perfectly messy-but-not stubble. Kind of always wanted to punch him. I think Lartius might be a Peacekeeper but I'm not entirely sure as well. I'd keep a close eye on him until we're sure. Deo definitely is also a grade A shady character.

[Sharlot Cuprick]

Sharlot laughed. She didn't expect to get along with Nelson so well. He seemed like an honest dude. She could trust him with her plan. She wrote him another prescription, this one filling up multiple sheets.

"This is a pretty good arrangement. Maybe we can keep this going. We can save a lot of actions just by watching who is hacking and sharing information. I think we should split up and meet back here on day 4 to share what we learned. I'm going to head to the supply depot."

Sharlot continued on another prescription note.

"If you run into Cal you should strike first. He is acting like he is on the rebel team (and it sounds like he fooled Gwendolyn, maybe others), but he's actually not. If you don't believe me you can spy on him for yourself and you'll see that he's a peacekeeper and he has two tokens (one he stole from me). When I left the Watchtower he stayed there alone, but based on the score the rebels must have taken over the place, so I assume he's the only Peacekeeper there surrounded by Rebels. Take him down as soon as you can."

[Nelson Clark]

Nelson began to gnaw on one of the notes, with the important information in order to prevent others from getting a hold of it "trash doesn't always destroy these...sensitive notes." He tried to explain as he winced.

Sounds like a good plan. So I'll just go..somewhere. I'm hoping I can get the jump on Cal...but how will I know who to trust? Is there like a secret handshake or something? 

I can do that. I'm pretty good at fighting, if I can I will take Cal down. 'S the least I could do.

watch out for Deo, wherever you go he creeps around.
