A VERY important A/N: Welcome, everyone, to the SYOT 59th Hunger Games! I'll first get the important things down.
1. I will not cuss. If a tribute happens to cuss a lot, I will substitute the words with a random amount of symbols.
2. I can't write romance. It isn't that I don't want to, but I just can't do it. Okay? If you want to have your district's tributes be "star-crossed-lovers," do it. But I probably won't accept.
3. I will not change your tribute without your permission. Unless I ask and you don't reply. I'll be willing to wait for a few days, but if you don't respond at all, I'll go ahead and change them. However, this only applies to the tributes themselves. This means that I will tweak the families and other small details WITHOUT asking. I'm sorry, but it's too tedious to ask about every small detail.
4. PLEASE GIVE ME THREE-DIMENSIONAL, DEVELOPED CHARACTERS! If you don't, the odds may be against them. They will. I'll explain in a future chapter.
5. I will only accept through PM, for several reasons. First, I'll be adding the opportunity to sponsor, and that can only be done through PM. Second, I will be doing a few other things with the PM feature here, and this thing might determine your tribute's life or death.
6. I will allow up to three tributes per person, but only up to two Careers per person.
7. This is not completely following the books. If it was, then District 12 wouldn't have a chance in this.
Now that that is out of the way, let's get started! The Capitol sent reporters to every district to interview the mentors one week before the reapings. Excerpts from Districts 1 through 3 are below.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
District 1
Azul Lazuli:
Last year, both tributes from your district were wiped out by the surprisingly young Cecelia, our latest victor. Even though you weren't mentoring, how do you feel about it?
We deserved to win last year. We had the most capable tributes. District 8 better watch its back this year; we're back for revenge.
Chalcedony Glist:
Your partner this year has shown how much he dislikes Cecelia. How about you?
She did what she had to do, but...SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO WIN!
Just because we're from the luxury district doesn't mean we'll giveothers the luxury of having a chance. Mark my words, Cecelia. You, 8, and everyone else, YOU'RE GOING DOWN.
O-O-O
District 2
Brutus Dior:
What do you think of last year's games? Both tributes from two were eliminated surprisingly early. How will you avoid that problem this year?
My tribute last year was a ****. He wasn't even supposed to volunteer, he got what he deserves. This year, I'll DEFINITELY make sure that the only boy that volunteers is the one I choose, not some unprepared idiot that just wants to impress his girl.
Scoria Chert:
Your style of mentoring has always been quite different from the usual "overpower everyone" oftern seen from District 2. How and Why?
Well, we have lost may times in the past. The tributes almost every year were strong and muscular. But they lost anyway. I believe the reason is that we of District 2 focus too much on physical strength but not enough on quick thinking and smarts, which can be just as important. I try to get them to think well as well as fight well.
O-O-O
District 3
Beetee Latier:
Last year was a close one for District 3, with both making it into the final eight. What do you think about your odds this year?
Well, uh, last year was really close. We might have done better though if a few changes were made, for example, if the temp-
I'm sure that we're all interested in your thoughts on it, but we're, um, low on time. Can you answer the question?
Of course. It's really not possible to judge the odds just yet, because it would be dependent on the number of slips each child has. Even with that information, anyone could be picked, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a clear concise answer.
Nokia Walkman:
You haven't mentored in a while. Can you tell us why?
For their past few years, Wiress has been mentoring alongside Beetee, but she's having a few problems this year, so I'm taking her place.
Do you think your skills are a bit rusty? How do you think it will affect the games?
District 3 is known for its intelligence. I am no exception, and instead of telling you why, I'll show you once the games begin.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
If you haven't realized it yet, I'll tell you now that each mentor will appear in the story, so think about it, okay? For example, if you're submitting the D2 male, make sure he's approved by Brutus. Also, all the mentors will retain the personality they show in these interviews. Then again, some may be acting...
