Monkshood Splice, District 3 Mentor, 19
"Sweet sassafras, you'll never guess what I just found," Avenaye says as he rushes through my unlocked door.
"Hey!" I shout through a mouthful of cake. "What if I had been naked?"
"You haven't changed your clothes in days, and I can't even remember the last time you showered." As he talks, Avenaye busies himself with shoving all of my important papers and documents off of my table. The Mentor for District Four, Avenaye is tall and gangly, with messy brown hair.
"Hey!" I shout again, wiping my chocolate-covered fingers on my shirt and stooping to pick up my papers. "That's my thinking table!"
"'Shocks?'" Avenaye reads, glancing at one of my papers.
"Yes, shocks, Avenaye. It's a combination shoe-sock, so that you don't have to wear both."
"What's so hard about wearing shoes and socks? What's this - a vibrating toilet?"
"What's the only part of your body that never gets a massage?" I ask. He stares at me blankly. "Your butt, Avenaye. Your butt."
He seems to weight it in his head for a moment.
"Yeah, I'd buy that," he concludes. "But I've got something even better. Check this out."
With a sly smile, he lifts a small black box out of his pocket and places it gingerly on the table. Avenaye clicks a button, and suddenly a hologram bursts to life above my table.
"It's a… place?" I ask quizzically, mesmerized.
"It's the arena," Avenaye says happily. "I snatched it from the Head Gamemaker's pocket when I was showing him my magic tricks."
"You did magic tricks without me?" I whine. "We've been working on that act for weeks, Avenaye!"
"Don't worry, I was only giving him a taste. Trust me, he's definitely hooked. Can't wait to see the rest. But check. It. Out. We've got a sneak preview of the arena, how awesome is that?"
"It's… interesting. Seems like a lot of walking, though, I'm not into that." I move my head in for a closer look.
In the center of the arena is a circular waterfall. And I'm talking a big-drop-into-a-pit-of-nothingness kind of waterfall. Surrounding the waterfall is a small jungle, and beyond that it's just snow.
"Now watch this," Avenaye whispers. He touches the holographic map with his fingers, and suddenly the bottom half of the arena appears. "Ice caves."
He's right. Ice caves are hidden under the snow. I follow them with my eyes and watch as they turn into dirt tunnels underneath the jungle area, and finally open up at the bottom of the seemingly never-ending waterfall. Something about the tiny, confined tunnels makes me shiver.
"It's like looking at a graveyard," Avenaye murmurs.
Twenty-three graves, ready for the taking.
Again, please submit tributes through PM's only. I do have Mentors from previous Games (as you can see). Please keep that in mind as you're choosing your tribute's District. Thank you!
