Octavius entered the meeting hall as many eyes caught him. He looked at everyone in the room [i]Five looks of dislike, 10 looks of hate, four wanted to kill me, amusing.[/i] He recognized 15 people, set for the pit with him. Three men he saw in one job, the son of one of his past target, two widows, one widower, one he used to work with, four guests at a party, two targets he never got around to, and a petty thief that posed as a guest on another job. The rest were people he's never seen before thought they seemed to know him. The thief seem to oddly hate Octavius though he wondered why. He never pointed her out while she stole from the First Lady as attention was not something he seeked. 

The man on the podium then made a remark, something about a good choice. Octavius didn't like this man and decided he will kill him when he escapes. He knows he will escape, he always does, not even this pit will stop him. Some doubt sinks in his mind though and decided alliances will have to be made if he wishes to escape from something as mysterious as the pit. He scans the room for potential teammates. Obviously none of the ones that want to kill him are candidates so he ignores those. A buff man catches his eye first, he likes that he seems he can hold is own, but seems headstrong and rash. He probably can't control him. He looks over to his old business partner and remembers he's quite the backstabber and kind of a weak fellow. He'll betray him as soon as there is someone better, not really anyone he wants to work with again. His name was Theyrone.

Octavius then sees the thief, he never caught her name but, he saw her skills at the party. She was talented, though not really sure how a pickpocket can help him in the pit. There is also the fact that she gave him a hating look. Why? He has done nothing to her. No one seemed like a good ally, but in desperate times you never know.
