Gage was so struck by the vast expanse of clean snow, something never seen on the dirty streets of her neighborhood in Six, that she nearly missed the countdown, and nearly missed Wiley leaping from the platform in the wrong direction - right into the bloodbath. Oh no. Gage had sworn she would protect Wiley, so she scrambled off the platform after her. But there were too many bodies clashing and Gage ducked around a falling tribute and lost sight of Wiley in the fray.

Gage craned her neck, searching, but Wiley was on the other side of the Cornucopia when Gage spotted her. She was of no use to the girl now. No, she refused to let that be true. If Gage couldn't protect Wiley, perhaps she could aid her, and find something helpful now that she was trapped here. Gage looked quickly down, nothing within arm's reach save a pair of socks - but that could be useful, certainly, in somewhere so cold as this. She bent down to grab them.

An attractive man around his own age was not what Damien expected to see among all the twenty-something former victors in the training center - Damien suspected the Capitol liked to let the older guard out to pasture, to keep the aesthetic pristine for any Capitolite observers. Not that Damien was complaining, either about the attractive young folks or about the man in front of him. Damien's knee, however, very much was.

"Excuse me, I was told there was a nurse around here somewhere," he said. "Do you know where I might find them?" It was safer, he presumed, to ask the question of a man who no doubt had his own joint pains, rather than a youth who might see his pain as their advantage.
