Hunger Games RP

In the place where North America once stood is the country of Panem. This is where a powerful government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. The Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to fight to the death. The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate not even children are beyond the reach of the Capitol's power.

Originally, there were 13 Districts, but the Capitol destroyed District 13 before the 1st Annual Hunger Games. This also means that The Hunger Games are also a reminder of what happened to District 13. The first 12 Districts, however, each have different resources, and still exist.

District 1: Luxury Goods for the Capitol
District 2: Mining elements and making weapons (also unofficially provided Peacekeepers)
District 3: Electronics/Technology
District 4: Fishing
District 5: DNA Splicing/breeding
District 6: Medicine and other scientific research (A.K.A. morphlings)
District 7: Lumber and paper products
District 8: Textiles
District 9: Food Processing
District 10: Livestock
District 11: Agriculture
District 12: Coal mining
District 13: (now terminated) Graphite Mining (unofficially they manufactured nuclear weapons and among that housed and produced other weaponry)

Now, the 70th Hunger Games are occurring. (A few Hunger Games before the Hunger Games Trilogy begins) As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, every year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected at random and forced to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which the participants, or "tributes", must fight to the death in a dangerous outdoor arena until only one remains. You will write the story of these tributes.

Bio: He is rather good with guns though he prefers to fight with his fists. In honesty he would rather not fight at all, but he knows at times it is necessary. Raised the oldest out of six by his mother, his father was a miner. He grew up with a regular education and as a regular kid until a mine subsided. His father was killed in the subsidence. At the age of twelve he was shipped off into the mines to raise money for his family. Surprisingly this is the one thing that he will honestly take seriously. He loves rocks and mining them is another way of entertaining himself. Jami became friends with Scarlett's father in the mines. He had only spoken with the girl once or twice, but never really talked to her. Jamison has become a rather trim human since he began working in the mines from all the hard labor.

Gender: female
District: four
Personality: A bubbly young woman with an addictive personality. She loves doing things that seem rather reckless. Though she does have a temper and will lose it on you if you offend her. A bit of a tomboy she is not afraid to defend herself if a fight.
Bio: Lottie prefers to fight with chakrams. A ring with a blade on it. She had either separate it and have two halves or keep it whole. The blonde enjoys it because it's graceful and like dancing, which is one of her girlie hobbies. At a young age the girl followed her older brother out to where ever he was going fishing that day. She loved to watch him and thought it was so much fun. Often times she would fish alongside of him. The two had never known their father. Their mother hadn't been married when she had her two children each from different parents, and each time the man would leave her during her pregnancy. Lottie grew up fishing with her brother in the morning, school in the afternoon, and fun at night. At night she would be either dancing or climbing trees. When she grew older her mother gave her the chakrams to practice with. Her mother wanted her daughter to be slightly prepared in case she was chosen.

Bio: Gabrio was originally born as a normal boy with a normal family; he lived with his mother and father for a couple of years until he was around the age of 13; on that faithful day, a few men and women bursted through their home door as some of them seemed to had been guards wearing a strange armor that those of the capital always wore. Others behind them were men and women dressed up in what seemed to had been lab coats. They hadn't really come to kill anyone, but more as to take Gabrio away from his family since of how young he was. His parents obviously did not approve of this as they had tried to fight back to take their son away from the guards; only to had failed and be killed. Of course, since Gabrio was 13 at the age when his parents died in front of his very eyes; he could never forget it. Being taken away toward the capital, the men and women dressed in lab coats had began experimenting on his body as they injected a strange serum of 'dog' genes into his body. Once that was done, they threw him into a seperate room where there was everything he needed in there. A bathroom and a bed; food was provided to him everyday so he wouldn't starve. After about another three days, the 'dog' genes began taking affect as he began to grow a tail and ears similar to his own white hair color. At first, it truly did hurt like crazy; but staying in the capital for about two years, it began to feel pretty normal to him as he learned to control how his tail and ears moved; expect when things made him happy, causing his tail to wag without him even noticing. On his 16th birthday, Gabrio was taken out of his room for more 'testing' with other genes; but before they had been able to take him into the lab; he had taken the guards weapons and used it against them, killing them on the spot than escaping as fast as he could. Gabrio's specailities are mostly his hands and feet; he can also jump onto high places due to the fact of the 'dog' genes inside of him.
Appearance:

Other: The collar was given to him while he was in the capital as the scientists had considered him, their pet. The bone on the other hand, was just something he found outside of the capital around the city, it was strangely bigger than a normal one so he decided to take it and use it as a new weapon. In the pouch is actually some spare food and water that he decided to keep. The large raggy coat was found along with the bone outside in the city.

Personality: Harsh and somewhat cold, he takes the Hunger Games very seriously. He thinks in a clinical manner, watching carefully and calculating before making any type of decision or move. He is ruthless in his attacks, wearing down others while reserving energy for later.
Bio: Since his eldest brother's death in a previous Hunger Game years ago, he had trained, hoping to be picked. He honed his skills with little help from trainers, seeing as he had a bad habit of seriously injuring other students. He prides himself in using just his body as a weapon, targeting pressure points and joints, but in a pinch can use most any object as a make-shift weapon with fair amount of efficiency.
Appearance:
Other: He never jumps into a fight, he will always hang back and analyze the opponent before striking quickly and accurately.

Bio: Even from a very young age, she was trained to become a fighter. While her mother was off at the lab, her father taught her everything she ever needed to know when protecting herself...and more. At age five, she began shooting with BB and pellet guns. By the time she was 10, she was shooting glocks and 12 gauge shotguns. Not to mention throwing knifes and hatchets when she was 12. If she were ever picked for the Hunger Games, she'd need a way to fight back since she was quite small.

Age: 16
Gender: Female
District: 3
Personality: Rouge isn’t very trusting of others. She’s highly sneaky and very independent, not liking any need to depend on others for support or help. Being a strong girl, she will stand up for her beliefs and rights, and isn’t afraid to go against the rules if she believes it’s for the greater good. Rouge is a very good liar and is quick thinking. Some jokingly say she has a split personality at times, because she can easily go from cheerful and bubbly to moody and dark when she’s lying or ‘spinning a tale’. However she can be a little too paranoid and flighty at times and can take insults (even joking ones) very personally. She will hold a grudge and likes thinking up nasty revenges, even if she never goes through with them. Rouge will put the people she does care about before herself and seems to have no self-preservation when it comes to taking risks. If it was a choice between her and someone she either didn’t know or didn’t care about though, Rouge will always pick herself. Although she's quite sure no one knows, Rouge carries around a constant guilt as she blames herself for the death of her mother, so occasionally falls into a quiet moment if the guilt hits her. This happens at random times for no apparant reason.
Bio: Rouge lived in a family of two parents, three younger brothers and two younger sisters up to the age of 8 when her father died in a factory incident. When she was 10, her youngest sister had gotten dangerously ill and her family didn’t have enough money for the medication needed. So, taking matters into her own hands, Rouge snuck into the store selling medicine and stole the medication needed. She almost got off scot free, but at the last minute was caught. The typical treatment for thieves was a whipping and Rouge was hauled off for the punishment. They only got up to four when her mother discovered what was happening and went in to stop it, begging the Peacekeeper to be allowed to take her place. After a while, it was eventually allowed and Rouge was replaced with her mother. The whipping total was doubled for the woman and once the punishment was over, she lived for an hour longer, dying of blood loss.

Now orphans, Rouge and her siblings were taken in by their mother’s sister and her husband who they still live with. Rouge has had a best friend ever since she was seven, a boy going by the name of Wren who was a year older than her. After her mother’s death, she spent most of her time with Wren and his father, learning how to put together music chips and work with other types of electronics. As she was growing up, Rouge didn’t give up her thieving tendencies, she simply got much better at not being caught. Because of this, Rouge is very good at moving around unseen and unheard. She has almost perfect balance on even the spindliest of perches and she has deadly accurate aim and strength with throwing knives. Rouge however is not physically very strong and relies far more on her speed and going around unnoticed. While her long distance fighting is very good, she isn’t so good at close range. Rouge can’t camouflage well, but she has a talent for being able to hide in the shadows quite easily.
Appearance:

Other: Rouge has 4 long scars across her back from the whipping. Her token is a small clockwork bird toy that seems blunt and unthreatening. However it is voice activated (only to her voice), can fly, carry messages and be a useful distraction, if she can get it pass security.

Personality: Wren is a quiet and calm type of person. No matter the situation, nothing seems to surprise him and he takes everything fairly easily in his stride. He is willing to give most people a single chance when it comes to trusting them, however the moment they betray him, he is unlikely to forgive and forget. Wren is highly overprotective of people he is close to and has a soft spot for younger children. He has a sharp mind and doesn’t tend to panic much, however he is often mistaken for being cold, aloof and at times stuck up. That’s generally not the truth, Wren just doesn’t like to talk too much, preferring to take in the situation going on and making judgements before speaking. He’s not a particularly good liar, but then, he doesn’t do much to get him in trouble.

Bio: Wren never knew his mother as she died during giving birth to him. However what he does know about her is nothing but good things as his father remembers her fondly and is happy to talk about her to Wren. He grew up as an only child, spending half his time with his father, at first watching him work then starting to help him in creating the music chips. The other half of his time was either at school or with his friends playing in the streets. It was during a street game of battle tag that he met Rouge. The two were on opposite teams and were facing each other off. Wren was about to run when Rouge tackled him to the ground and pinned him there until he admitted defeat. (To this day she’s never been able to repeat this). The two hit it off from that moment and soon became best friends, with Wren helping Rouge through the difficult time of first her father, then her mother’s death. While she never said it, Wren knew she was carrying the guilt of being the reason her mother had died. So he offered her a place to escape from her family and the guilt, letting her stay with him and his father whenever she wanted, his father not minding at all.

As they grew older, Wren started to help teach Rouge how to make music chips and other technology, even helping her design a small clockwork bird. Many people speculated deeper feelings than friendship between them, but Wren always answered saying he considered Rouge like his missing twin sister and nothing more. At the age of 15 Wren had begun creating his own inventions and selling them to others out on the street, earning more money to make sure he and his father could continue living comfortably in their small home. He hasn’t been without his fair share of accidents either, bearing several scars along his arms and torso from mistakes made during work. Wren is skilled at knife throwing, just as Rouge is, but to a lesser degree. Whilst he isn’t fast, he is strong (comes from lugging around large machinery and parts every day) and is hard to intimidate. His accuracy with a gun is very high, but he prefers close range fighting, with fists or with knives as it allows him to use his strength to overpower the enemy.
Appearance:

Other: This Token is a circle shaped locket with an angel carrying a sword etched on the front. Inside is a clock on the right half and a picture of himself, Rouge and his father on the left half. He only wears glasses when he is working on a new invention.

Start posting!

Scarlett was sitting on the train staring out at the random scenes they passed. She knew they were nearing towards the capital where she would be poked and get thousands of things done to her to turn her into something beautiful. She had been surprised when her father's friend had been chosen to go to the Hunger Games as well. This had pleased her father since he told her that Jamison would look out for her. She had simply rolled her eyes and said she could look out for herself.

Scarlett had met Jamison a few times before when her father came home with him to have dinner.. and her father was always trying to get Scarlett to fall for him. Which Scarlett hated set up dates so she always refused when her father would say he had to 'go' and then leave her and Jamison at the table to talk while he took the twins for ice cream. She had to admit that Jamison was good looking.. but they had only talked a few times and she wasn't about to have any emotional ties with him because she knew either one or both of them would die before the end of the game.

When the train came to a stop Scarlett stood up and looked to Jamison, her eyes a little fearful at the thought of being in the place where the Hunger Games all began. She looked towards the door and sighed a little to herself. "Coming?" She asked softly, her voice in a more quiet tone as she looked out the open door. She was wearing dark blue skinny jeans covered with rips from work she had done on the house while wearing them a few weeks ago since her father had been mining and had no time to repair their small home. She was wearing black flats that showed the top of her feet but covered her toes, the sides of her feet, and then covered the heels as well. For her top she was wearing a simply black tank top. Scarlett was pale with long blonde hair that went to her mid back and then had dark green emerald eyes, unlike the blue eyed people in the rest of her family.

Her hair was down from not having the patience to put it up since she had been freaking out about the Games after being called at the reaping. She was a decent hunter and had weapons training so it wasn't that she was scared that she wasn't strong enough to handle fighting. She was just scared she'd never return home.

Alexander Foxworth sat and looked out the window, thinking of his family. He had one younger sister, a mother and a father to come home to if he survived. His poor younger sister had been called at the reaping, so he took her place and made them call another girl. And that girl ended up being Kori Lynn. He let his eyes go on her for a moment to take her in, thinking of all the things that could be her strengths or weaknesses. Thats when the train stopped. He stood up and looked over at her. "You coming?" He asked, running a hand through his dark brown hair. He was wearing a pair of light colored jeans and a black tee shirt since he wasn't exactly fond of bright colors. For his shoes he wore simple black tennis shoes.

He looked out the window towards the area they would be getting off at and bit his lip. He was never a fan of the Hunger Games and never watched them on tv. He found it to be sad instead of exciting like most people thought it was. He had never expected himself to end up in the Hunger Games but since he grew up in district two where they built weapons.. he was pretty good at using them. He had always loved playing with them in his early teen years, never suspecting that it would help him later in life. Alexander looked at the small piece of paper on the door and knew that he and Kori had to go to the feast inside the large building to meet with all the other districts contestants. At least he would be able to see if they showed a weakness or not.

Kori was in her seat, hoping someone was going to talk to her. Her short light blue hair was hiding her red eyes, for she was ashamed of showing them. Everyone who saw them were either afraid or just walked away. Slowly, she looked outside clutched her bow and blue sword. Too afraid to speak to anyone, she slouched down more and blinked a few times, flipping her hair out of her eyes. Not thinking, she left her eyes revealed, and bit her lip. She was focussed on winning. She knew she would be afraid at first, knowing this was to the death, but she would just have to swallow her pride and do what she needed to. Her sword was saphire-bladed, and a pure silver handle. The sheath was onyx, and shimmered in the light. She smiled and looked at her smooth grin in the reflection on her sword.~

Chord snored softly, mainly just breathing heavily, and slept through the train ride, not caring whether he made any friends or not. Usually, he was friendly and happy, but here he was focused on fighting and being independant.

[Trying to start things off.]

Shine frowned at the pink frosted cupcake she was currently eating, and set it back down on the train table. She'd normally gobble up things like this, and she knew she needed to gain some weight during the hunger games, since she'd watched quite a few people die by starvation. Shine looked at the diamond-studded charm bracelet she had on as her token from District 1. It was a gift from her parents, whom she had not seen for most of her life because she spent her entire 16 years with her "career trainer", learning and mastering the basics of survival in any type of situation she was thrown into. Being a girly-girl, she despised the lessons that included too much physical activity, but she appreciated them now because she would need a lot of strength to win the Hunger Games... Shine glanced at Smolder, who was sprawled across the train bench/seat across from her, still in a deep sleep. They'd been trained as careers together, so she knew him quite well, and thought of him as her older brother. Shine loved the Hunger Games, and watched them with interest every year, even when the tributes died just by freezing in the snow. However, she was upset because there was only one winner. If someone else didn't kill the other tribute from your district, you'd have to kill them. Oh, the things that the Gamemakers do to get entertainment.

Upon arriving at the Capitol, there was a woman’s accented voice that flowed from the intercom into Shine’s ears. “We have arrived at the Capitol, please get ready to unboard.” She couldn’t help but snicker at the funny accent, even though she knew it wasn’t polite. Seeing that Smolder was still drifting off somewhere, she kicked him hard in the shin, where he was ticklish. He acted like he hadn’t felt it, but she knew he had. He was slightly twitching, trying to hide his laugh. “Ouch. What was that for?” Smolder scowled at her and rubbed his eyes. “We’re here…” Shine looked out of the window, to the Capitol. It was just as pretty as everyone said it was. As she observed the mass of rushing people, she couldn’t help but wonder if there were other tributes on this train station…

Natasha sat in her train seat staring out the window. She had her two knifes sheathed hanging to her side. She was thinking of tactics for winning the games. She had to win she would win no matter what. She wouldn't worry about making friends. she would just worry about making it out alive. When it was announced that they were ready to unboard, Tasha began gathering her things. She got her bag and slung it over her back and made her way towards the exit.

Charlie sat i his train seat and was making sure his sword was clean and sharp. It was red made from the best metal available and the handle was golden with rubies emmbedded in it. He had a shield to match it too. He would try and make it out alive but he didnt know if he would be able too. He didnt like hurting others but he would win or die trying. he sheathed his sword and ut his shield on his back. It was also red and gold and was studded with rubies like the sword. he stood up and made his way towards the exit of the train.

Gabrio sat on one of the chairs in the train as he had his large cloak wrapped around his entire body. He wasn't exactly that tall for a boy, as he had to hold onto the ends of the window to pull himself up and stare outside to see where they were going. He wasn't really told much about where they were taking him, all he knew was that he was going to be heading somewhere far from wherever he was going to plan to go. And in this case, he wasn't even sure what that was going to be. Twitching his little dog ears on his head, Gabrio just gave his random little big smile and played with his collar a bit. Even though he had escaped those scientist who had called him their 'pet'. He couldn't seem to be so attached to this collar that he wanted to keep it. The major thing he always seemed to hate a bit, only because it brought back bad memories was the fact that some people would always grab onto his leech and pull on it a bit. It always made him think about the past when the scientists had done that to him; and called him filth for being a pet. When he had heard that they were getting close to the capital, Gabrio turned his head a bit around to hear where the voice came from. Shrugging his shoulders he continued to hold onto his large white bone in both his hands smiling brightly.

Keira sat alone on the train and watched the scenery pass by the window. She was slightly nervous. Was her opponent going to be trained like she was? Will she be able to take him down or will she, herself, die trying? At least, if she had to, she was going down with honour. It was still nerve racking though. Maybe at this feast, I can learn some of the weaknesses of the others, she thought to herself. She couldn't go into the arena blind, now could she?

She wondered what weapons they'd be able to use. She learned how to use more or less everything, but she wished she was taught some more hand to hand combat other than kicking and punching. Maybe, some wrestling moves or martial arts would help her out. The girl pulled on her black shorts. She didn't want to wear anything to would hinder her movements. In these battles, you had to be fast or die. Along with her shorts, she wore a leather bodice, combat boots, and black fingerless gloves. The combat boots were merely for kicking and kicking hard. She was glad in a way that she was fighting a male, but she didn't wonder if going for private parts was allowed.

When the train stopped, she walked to the nearest door and hopped off. She was ready to do some fighting and killing. Nothing was about to get in her way.

Setsurou really didn't want to participate in the Hunger Games. He would have to kill numerous people just to survive. It wasn't right, but there was no way for him to get out of it. He was glad, however, that they were have a feast before any figthing was done. He didn't want to go right into a match. He didn't know his opponent or if she was skilled in anything. The boy didn't have really any weapons or fighting skills. How are these games even legal? We're just killing each other off and for what?

He didn't want to get off the train when it had stopped, but he forced himself to anyways. "Well this is the beginning of a long day."

Once the train had finally come to a complete stop; Gabrio jumped in his seat a bit as he leaned his head out from his seat to look left and right down the long hallway of the this compartment. There were actually more people on this train than he had thought, originally he was thinking this entire train was completely empty since he hadn't heard one word from anyone throughout the whole train ride. So without further delay, he jumped off his seat and bolted down the long hallway until he had made it to a completely different exit from across the compartment. Once he had left the train, Gabrio just stood there looking around the area to figure out if there was anything to actually eat or drink in the area. True, he did have plenty of food and water in his pouch, but most of the time; that was for whenever he would be traveling in the middle of nowhere.

Natasha's nifes moved at her side as she stepped off the bus. There were already a few kids out but she decided not to talk to anyone. She wondered when the first fights would be. She had to be prepared. Her knifes were sharpened and her backup blue crystal kife was hidden in her bag.

Charlie got off the train. his shield wasnt that heavy on his back so he had no trouble getting off the train. The gold and ruby hilt of his swords stuck out the top of his swords sheath. he looked around at the different kids getting off the bus. it had been pretty quiet on the trip.

((I thought they didn't get weapons until the start of the games..... I'm confused. ))

Heiro's eyes had remained cold and hard as stones for the entire trip. He flipped and rolled an old, dirty coin over his knuckles. It was about the size of a quarter, with a square opening in the center, given to him by his brother the day he left to face the 65th hunger games. Now he took the metal disk with him, as his token and reminder of his will to succeed.

His eyes narrowed and he stopped flipping the coin, running a finger over the ancient characters stamped into it. Hate and determination filled him again, the seemingly hopeless thought of wanting to over-throw the hunger games, and the Capitol floating through his mind. He didn't care what his mother told him, or how paranoid his father was, he hated the government and wasn't afraid to say it. Not surprisingly, doing this had gotten him nearly killed four years ago, causing him to now keep the brewing anger to himself.

He broke from his dark thoughts as a monotone voice called out the end of the line, the train had arrived at Capitol. Taking a deep breath, he sat still as the other passengers shuffled about, getting in line to step off the transit. Finally, he stood, slinging a nearly thread-bare canvas bag over his shoulder. Slipping the coin into the pocket of his loose cotton slacks, he slid into the isle, then walked down the metal steps onto the pavement.

With a soft sigh, she rolled over on her seat, shuffling to be careful not to slip off in the movement. The girls eyes were clamped tightly shut as her lips pursed, a frown settled on her face. “You think they’re gonna stick us in skimpy outfits this year?” Her voice flitted out from the girl’s mouth as she finally sat up, the grumpy expression refusing to leave her features. All the while, Rouge’s scarred fingers gently turned the small clockwork bird, his little beady eyes glinting in the dim light of their surroundings. Every now and then she would shake slightly as the train jerked its way along the track.

A pair of piercing greyish blue eyes stared back up at the red haired lady. “...Probably not, that’s usually district twelve correct?” His voice was a quiet whisper in comparison to Rouge’s, but it in no way sounded weak or frightened. Just quiet. With a slight roll of her eyes, Rouge turned to press her forehead against the cool glass, trying to calm herself down. Already she could feel the steady slowing of the train. Running a hand through his hair, Wren shook his head as he glanced away from his best friend. The slight chewing of his lips revealed his nerves for the upcoming events. He had refused to let Rouge go in on her own, just as she had sworn to him she would have taken the place of any of her siblings, no matter what. He had to admire her determined attitude. Wren knew Rouge had watched the hunger games every year, studied them practically, with him. Both had known the risks of them being chosen, they had agreed it was safer to be prepared than to stubbornly refuse to accept the truth.

Wren was woken up from his thoughts, blinking up at Rouge as the girl stared down at him with her hands resting on her hips. “Are you coming or not?” She asked with a soft sigh, not really angry at her friend. With a reluctant smile, he nodded, standing with Rouge and tucking his glasses into his pocket. It would be better not to show them, people could chose to try picking on him and to be honest, Wren had no will to deal with it today. That, and he felt slightly sorry for those who’d try invoking Rouge’s wrath. Together the two made their way from the train, blinking in the harsh light as they looked rapidly around. “Ok...Where the hell are we meant to be going now?” Rouge demanded in an irritated tone.

((Yeah, like Kage Shio said.. No one is allowed to have ANY weapons until the start of the games, and the games GIVES you weapons. You can't pick your own until your in the arena and you see what they have put in it. And they didn't get off a bus x.x they got off a train that brought them to the capital from their district. :3 sorry.. or at least, thats how it is in the books. ))

Once finally off the train, Gabrio just shook his head a bit and began to walk toward the largest building. When he had received information about where they were going to take him, he couldn't take out of his own mind the fact that they were going to take him somewhere far from where he originally wanted to go, but the problem was, after he was told that; Gabrio was also told when they had reached their final stop, he should head to the largest building in the area. The place he was supposed to go to, should have had the words 'Hunger Games' on it. Unaware about what that exactly was, Gabrio just ventured throughout the area with his large bone in hand.

[Yup, KageShio and Katie are right...they get their weapons from a giant cornucopia at the start of the games...]

Shine and Smolder followed their mentor, a victor from District 1 10 years ago. He'd outran everyone and survived on beef jerky the whole time, basically hiding until he absolutely had to kill. He lead them to a tall, glass building that looked slightly futuristic. Well, all of the Capitol looked pretty futuristic compared to the rest of the districts. "Where are we going?" Shine was naturally curious, and had to know everything. "Where do you think?" Their mentor retorted back. "The feast, of course." Shine nodded and looked around. They had entered the building and were being taken to a room with a vast dining table, and a bunch of waiters. The table could easily seat 24 people, and the pictures hung on the wall were of either President Snow or past Capitol Presidents. Sitting down next to Smolder, shine noted that they were the only tributes currently in the room. Perhaps they were early?

The train was cold. That was one of the first things Therity had noticed when she got on it. This might have been due to the fact that her district always seemed warm from the machines in the textile factories. They were rarely turned off, keeping the district, with its thin walled buildings, warm all year round. It was fine in the winter, but in the summer, it became so stifling that it became too difficult for some to breath. Not that this mattered anymore, at least to Therity.

She sat alone in her room on the train, watching the fleeting scenery go by, much like the past day has been. Everything happened so fast, especially since the Reaping started. It had been the same as it always was, annoying but a day off of work in the factories. She had stood with all the other girls in her age group, worried a bit but not as much as some. She had did not have as many ballots in the drawing as others, those with the most were usually the ones chosen. Somehow her family had always made sure that they had enough to get by without it.

After she was picked, she did not even pay attention to anything else that had happened, her eyes locked on her family. During their goodbyes, they barely talked, just hugged in a mass. Now she wished she had said more to them. One of her slight, pale hands fingered the pendant around her neck, her token. Her father gave it to her, an intricate knot meaning love in her district, given by men to their fiances instead of rings. He had given it to her mother before she died of disease when Therity was a child. Now she had it.

As the train slowed, Therity finally focused on where she was, the Capitol. She had only seen video of it on the television, though she had never had any desires to go there. A soft knock came on her door, followed by it opening. She nodded at her mentor, who lead out of the train to a big building. It must be where the tribute's feast would take place. They had mentioned something like this before she had left for her room on the train.

As she walked into the room, she saw that she was alone, the other tribute from her district not following her. In the room she saw two others, tributes from district one, if her memory of the other districts reapings was correct. She had made sure to watch them to see who her competition would be. She stood nervously just inside the door, unsure now on what to do. She needed to sit down, but where?

"Heiro Wuuya, Keira Hasegawa, follow me," said the mentor before he turned around and walked toward the tall glass building where the tributes would be having their feast. Keira followed a little antsy to find out what she was up against. Within the room where the feast was being, were three others. She didn't know what districts they were from though. Looking at the table, she didn't know where to sit. Did they have a specific seat they were supposed to take, or could they sit anywhere they wanted?

After walking for what seemed like half an hour which was only a few minutes. Gabrio began to feel how his stomach was going to take the best of him. Shaking his head, he wrapped his right arm right around it and groaned quietly to himself. He was brought here for a reason, whatever the reason was it didn't really matter, as long as the people who called for him, gave him food to keep his energy up. Suddenly he had made it toward a large building just like he was instructed to, as he noticed right in the front above the building said the words 'Hunger Games'. Smiling a bit nervously, Gabrio stepped toward the two double doors and pushed them right open. Walking down the hallway for a moment, his own attention was taken toward the light smell of food as his eyes widened right up. His little dog tail under the cloak wagged with excitement as he ran down the hallway at an inhuman speed; but more of a dog's speed. Bursting right into a large room with about 24chairs and several other people around. His cloak was finally onto the side revealing his dog ears and tail, but at this point; that wasn't what he was caring about. He just wanted to know where the food was so he could eat. "Food?" he randomly said smiling brightly as usual.

Heiro looked to the person that had spoken, apparently this was their mentor. He glanced to Keira briefly, then followed their guide to the feast hall. He hung back slightly as they entered the lavishly decorated room, his dark eyes quickly assessing the three others already within the room. He stepped out of the doorway just in time for a strange boy to run in, acting quite excited despite their impending future. He looked the boy over with a frown, then proceeded to take his seat at the table, opposite of the others, and down a few chairs.
