location: the tribute center participants: valor aurelius grout & open
valor aurelius waited anxiously, or perhaps, a better word for it was impatiently, for one of the many elevators to return to the ground floor. he'd made a direct beeline for the elevators upon arrival, but it seemed that everyone else had the same idea. which it shouldn't have been much of a surprise, but that didn't stop him from letting a loud, frustrated sigh escape from his lips as he cast a brief glance at the crowd forming around him. fortunately, it wasn't long before the next elevator arrived, but the familiar ding of the doors opening sent everyone moving forward, "don't even think about it," he growled as he forced his way into the elevator, jamming his finger into the button for the second floor.
