Knox Riviera, District Eight, Victor of the 54th Hunger Games
They say when you win the Hunger Games you're meant to feel pride. You accomplished something so many dream about, so many dread about and what twenty-three other people couldn't achieve. If I was a Career and did what I did, maybe. But I don't. I don't deserve the accomplishment but the Master of Ceremonies, Glint Flickerman, wants me to believe I do.
"You played like a Career in the final days of the arena," He remarks, motioning behind him to the screen that shows the final days of the arena.
The current clip shows my exchange with the male from Two, Colossus. Aptly named, if I'm honest. I gave him the location of my alliance, a five-strong unit against the Career's five-member alliance. Coming out of the arena I've found out we were thought to be among the best top tens ever. I gave him the way how to get into our complex entry, gave him the password we made up to protect ourselves. I gave him everything and in return he gave me the day they would attack. He knew he'd be able to beat me in battle so he thought if I escaped it'd be an easy win.
He knew my alliance would take down most of the Careers - and they did. The pair from One and the girl from Two perished in the fight against my former allies. I had left them that morning and was watching the whole battle from a tree.
"Mystic killing Colossus, now that really was something!" Glint remarks and the clip shows the girl from Four, who we had all considered a filler Career, kill Colossus with seeming ease.
"How did you find it in you to jump from a tree, slam a knife in her head and then slit her throat?"
I look at Glint, then the camera and shrug, "In the arena you need to do what you need to do."
The Capitol cheer at my answer. They view me as a devious, deserving tribute. Someone who knew what it took to play the Game and while they'll reward me with love, the districts of my allies, Three, Nine and Twelve, will hate me forever.
This is happening a lot sooner than I had anticipated but I just can't wait!
Naturally this SYOT won't happen for a while, or at least not until the 70th is wrapped up which I hope will be in a week or so!
Below is the tribute form and remember, any reservations will expire after two days. (Italics is optional)
