This is the story of 26 kids all around the ages of 12-18 human years. All of the districts are named after the blood types, or for the human ones by where they dream. They all produce somethings such as:

The first district is called District Purple, specializing in harpoon guns, fishing, and training Keepers of the Peace.

District Violet (which is darker then purple just saying) and they have clubs and lots of soda.

District Indigo they are all quite strong and have a thing for horses.

District Blue is next and they seem to have mind control but I don't think so? Maybe, maybe not.

District Teal is all about legality and most are visually impaired or just plain blind.

District Jade has a lot of fashion sense and has a thing for chainsaws also has homes for Mother Grubs

District Olive specializes in romantic pairings and claws for fighting.

District Yellow is technology and lisping.

District Orange produces lances and RPGs for children.

District Rust has corpse parties but don't go into the back part of town.

District Grey exports sickles and really bad speeches.

District Prospit has bakeries and some have a sleeping problem.

District Durse has psychologists and musicians

Then there is The Capitol, they control the districts and the president is mean and rude. President Hussie is his name but if he dies then Her Imperious Condescension has the passage to his place as ruler. The capital has the most unusual pastime, each year they put in 26 kids between the ages of 12 and 18 human years in one arena to make them fight.

You are now Karkat Vantas one of the only ones not proud of their district... god you hate it and everything too but you have to stay for your older brother and the olive blood you meet in the forest everyday. Speaking of you have to go hunt with her for your family's dinner.

You walk down the main road down to the fence, it is supposed to have electricity running through it but the power is always off. You slip under the chain link, run past a few trees, jump over a bush or two, and tuck roll into a clearing. This is the only thing you like in the world, hunting in the woods with your friend Nepeta. Where is she anyway?

"Are mew looking for me Karkitty" you jump pulling out your sickle defensively to nothing but your friend Nepeta.

"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT NEPETA YOU DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT ASSWIPE." she just giggles

"CAN WE FUCKING HUNT NOW"

"Sure we can Karkitty"

"DONT CALL ME THAT" she giggles again.

Nepeta has a black shirt, green trench coat, a blue cat hat that has holes just big enough for her horns to poke through. The two of you hunt but its not the same, the Ascending is today and the two of you don't want the other to be called to partake in the Strife Games.

With a large bag of game you drag it over to the Hub, the two of you sell half to Mr. North. You split what is left for you and Nepeta. You walk her over to the fence and say in the most ridiculous way "May the odds be never in your favor" she replies

"Dont look back" the two of you laugh a bit before you go home to your brother and father.

"HEY NOOKLICKERS IM HOME WITH SOME FOOD"

"Karkat that is quite triggering. Please refrain fr9m c9ntinuing with that language"

"FUCK OFF. NOW GO EAT AND GET DRESSED FOR THE ACENDING"

"Im really triggered by that Karkat."

After Kankri, Dad, and you eat you start to get dressed you really want to dress up in that frilly dress NO WHY DO YOU EVEN WANT TO DO THAT that is an amazingly shitty idea that you just had. You dress up in your black suit and gray tie. Your brother thinks its "cool" to wear a red suit and a black tie. Father as usual has his traditional pants-up-to-his-cheast and cloak outfit.

This year there are two male players from the bowl instead of two girls like last year. Up on the stand that's upon the stage. Is who has pulled out a name from what looks like an overly large fish bowl. She opens the long white slip of paper with a name on it.
