A/N: Hello! Next chapter, great! Okay, so the first tribute list is here, down at the bottom. I want maybe 8 to 10 more tributes, so keep submitting, and also I need males please. Also, if I got anything wrong with your tribute down there, just let me know. Kay, tell me what you think!


The Tributes

Her pencil scratched furiously on the paper. Olive Ringer had been up all night working on her plans for the Game, and she still felt as if she had accomplished nothing. She had to get this right, it was do or die. Literally.

She really hoped that the president liked this newer, nastier version of the arena. He had to, she had done everything he had asked for, and more on top of that. Actually, this was her best arena design yet. Maybe Snow did have a point in threatening her and making her redo her plans. Or maybe he was just a cruel, bloodthristy beast.

She really hoped it was the first one, but the latter really did make the most sense.

The arena plans were looking good, but the didn't mean the Games were nessacarily going to be the his liking. The success of these Hunger Games depended on more then just her arena plans. Results were easily swayed by mutts, sponsors, and of course, the tributes.

Olive's pencil snapped in her hand, finally giving way under her hard grip. She hadn't even bestowed one thought on the tributes since her meeting with President Snow yesterday afternoon. Would he want her to rig some of the reapings as the previous president had, she wondered as she set her broken pencil down with a sigh, or would he leave it all to chance? Maybe she should ask him? No, bad idea, probably best to let him speak to her if he wished.

The ebony-haired Gamemaker stood from her desk chair, aching legs thankful for the chance to stretch. It all depended on the tributes, but then again it normally did. She needed smart tributes, strong tributes, that could survive her arena but not eachother. Who would fall for her traps without falling for all of them and making it too easy. She needed tributes like these, and most importantly, she needed tributes who were willing to do anything to win, just like she was.

Olive continued to pace back and forth on the carpeted floors of her dark office, hand resting on her chin to show that she was in deep thought. Running a hand through her hair, she moved it sit back down in her chair with a defeated groan, pulling her high heeled shoes off of her aching feet. With a nod, Olive sat up straight so she could get back to work, sharpening a new and intact pencil to a dangerous point. She continued to scribble away on her arena plans. They needed to be perfect.

The Tributes would be her ticket between life and death, and she couldn't help but scowl of the irony of that.


Emlin Brinken thought that she was a good escort. She really did.

She hoped that everybody thought so too, because she had worked so hard at what she did. At least this year she wasn't it the dump that was district eleven anymore, she had moved up. Maybe they would respect her now.

Probably not.

Of course, that didn't mean she couldn't pretend that they didn't. And it definitely didn't mean that she had the try to pretend to like them. All of the other escorts were airheads -except for Martina, who she actually liked, and Greyson, who wasn't as stupid as he looked- and they would figure she liked them even if she blatantly said she didn't.

Nobody paid attention to her, that was all. It made enough sense though. She wasn't exceptional in any sense of the word. She wasn't overly clever, or gorgeous, and had a bad habit of picking weaklings and twelve-year olds from the reaping bowl with resulted in her failure to bring home a victor in what was almost ten long years.

It hurt her a bit. The pick out this children and then send them to die. She loved the Hunger Games -she did, she loved the beauty and excitement and fear- but it was beginning to get to her. Every year, those living in the district she was assigned to as she walked across the stage to pick two kids to die. She didn't enjoy choosing them, and getting to know them, and then watching them be killed -but she would never say that, for that could get her kille herself.

And she wasn't sure how much she liked it anymore.

But this years was different. She could feel it tingling in her perfectly manicured fingertips. This year was going to be her year. Emlin just knew it. This year. This year she was going to bring someone home.
