Inala Ivory (District 4 Escort)
"So it finally happened huh?"
"I'm not….I'm not sure what you're talking about Inala."
"Oh come on Allure, you know better than to try to play coy with me. Because even if you were good at it, which you're most certainly not, it wouldn't do you any good in this particular situation because you know full well that I can read you, and to a slightly lesser extent each and every one of your fellow mentors, like a book.
"So why don't you just go ahead and drop this whole, I'm going to be intentionally vague and super-duper secretive thing you've got going on and just tell me how it happened?"
"Well for starters I'm not just good at playing coy, I'm the best. So I have no idea where you got the absolutely bonkers idea that I'm bad at it.
"Secondly, it's kind of hard for me to be intentionally vague or secretive about something, when I honestly have no idea what it is I'm being vague or secretive about.
"So if you could go ahead and fill me in on just what the 'it' you keep referring to actually is….."
"Allure….."
"Yes, Inala?"
"I saw Joyce's engagement ring when I ran into her in the hall."
You know, it's kind of funny to just stand here, with what I can only assume is a super goofy looking smile plastered on my face, and just watch Allure try to process and digest everything I just said without losing her cool.
I mean, I know I shouldn't enjoy making her squirm like this, especially since we both know that I'm going to be stuck working with her, as well as her absolutely adorable fiancée, until the three of us can pull our collective heads out of our asses long enough to bring home another victor.
Which means, and I absolutely loathe having to admit, I should probably be just a wee bit more careful about the kinds of jokes and pranks I decide to play on the two of them. At least until I can get a better read on just what kinds of jokes and pranks I can get away with playing on the two of them that is….
"So about that….We were planning on telling you that we'd gotten engaged as soon as we got on the train. Mainly because we didn't want to run the risk of possibly overshadowing today's festivities by formally announcing our engagement to the world before the Reaping took place."
Well, I've got to give it to her, at least she and Joyce were thinking about the potential fallout of their decision this time. I mean, they still screwed up a little bit by waiting until the day before, or god forbid the day of, the freaking reaping to get engaged, at least they didn't go out and make a big spectacle of it. So I guess I've got that going for me at least.
I mean seriously, would it have killed them to go out and get engaged a week or two ago? Or at the very least let me know what they were planning in advance, if only so I could have run a little bit of preëmptive damage control BEFORE the two of them get around to making a formal announcement?
But I guess both of those 'issues' are probably more nit-picky than anything else, especially since they did decide to wait until AFTER the reaping, and more than likely the Tribute parade, to make a formal announcement to the Capitol.
"You're not….You're not mad at us are you Inala?"
"Don't be silly Allure, of course, I'm not mad. I am a little disappointed that you didn't think I'd like to know that something this big was in the works. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit upset that the two of you didn't give me a little advanced warning so I could start smoothing things over with our big money sponsors before they catch wind of this.
"But even with all of that working against you, coupled with the fact that I'd be more than justified in being out-and-out pissed that the two of you did this so close to the start of the Games, I'm honestly not mad."
Wow, that….I feel like that came out sounding a hell of a lot more aggressive, not to mention downright mean and condescending, than I honestly meant for it too. I mean, it's not that I didn't mean everything I just said, because I did, I just didn't mean for it to come out anywhere near as passive-aggressive sounding as it did.
And if the look of indifferent annoyance plastered on Allure's face is any indication, that's exactly what she took it as.
"So that came out sounding just a little bit…."
"Just a little bit bitchy and condescending?"
"Well, I don't know if I'd use those specific words."
"Well, I would. And for the record, bitchy and condescending is exactly how you came off Inala."
"And for that, I apologize.
"But with that being said, I don't think you actually understand why I'm as upset about all of this as I am. Because despite how it might have sounded earlier, I'm honestly not upset that you and Joyce decided to get engaged. What I am upset about is just how big, not to mention embarrassing, an impact your decision could have on the two of you, and to a lesser extent your tributes, in this year's games.
"I mean, did the two of you even think about that before you decided to go ahead and do this so close to the start of them?"
"I'll admit that our timing could have been better, and to be fair I had every intention of waiting until after we got back from the Capitol to actually pop the question. But that was before I came home from the Training Center and realized that last night was the absolute perfect time for me to do it.
"And I'm sorry to have to say this, but how the rest of Panem MIGHT react to our engagement, was the last thing on my mind when I asked her to marry me. And in the end, neither of us cares what they think of our decision because we're not getting married for them. We're getting married for us."
Wow, I must sound like a major bitch right now. Here I am worrying about abstracts and potential repercussions, when I should be congratulating the first tribute I ever escorted to a title, on her recent engagement. The fact that said engagement just happens to be to one of her fellow victors, just means their future wedding is going to be twice as big and important an event as it would have been otherwise.
Everything else, including my as of yet unspoken fears that the two of them will be entirely to distracted by their impending nuptials to do their jobs, is nothing more than unsubstantiated and pointless noise. And while that doesn't mean I'm not going to force the two of them to sit down and talk about all of this, whether they want to or not, it does mean that I can probably afford to do so at a more appropriate time and in a much more private and appropriate place.
And unsurprisingly, my ability, not to mention willingness, to do so ends up being a good thing. Because no sooner have I decided to do so, both Allure and I are being hastily ushered out of my piss poor excuse for a dressing room before being all but dragged in the general direction of the seashell covered entrance arch at the front of the foyer; which just happens to be where the mayor and rest of the victors are currently waiting; by my very red-faced and agitated looking production manager.
Fortunately, more so for him than anyone else, he decides not to make a bigger deal out of whatever it is that's got him so worked up than he already has, and instead quickly sets himself to the task of starting the Mayor's automated introduction. And once he's got that, he quickly and professionally, albeit just a wee bit aggressively, shoos her through the faux seaweed curtain that's currently separating those of us tucked inside the Hall of Justice from the rest of the district proper
And once the Mayor is out on stage it takes her all of maybe seven minutes to eagerly introduce her district's quintet of living victors, as well as pay her obviously forced and uninspiring lip service to the memories of those that have already passed on, before clumsily, if not amusingly, transitioning into an incredibly rushed and inarticulate introduction of me.
"But there will be time for us to celebrate the memories of our dearly departed champions tomorrow. Right now, it's time for us to focus on the future, and as you all know, the best way to do that is for us to go ahead and find out which lucky young man and fortunate young woman will have the honor of representing our illustrious district in this year's Hunger Games.
"Of course there's only one person in the District with the power to do that, and that's our incredibly flashy and stylish Capitol Escort, Ms. Inala Ivory.
"And with that in mind, it's my absolute pleasure to once again welcome her back to District Four for this year's reaping!"
Ugh, that was awful. You'd think that after doing this once a year for the last ten years that she'd at least be capable of delivering a somewhat decent, if not marginally inspiring introduction by now. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to find a way to pump up the crowd on my own, just like I have every year before this.
"Thank you, everyone thank you!
"Now, as I'm sure you all know by now, my name is Inala Ivory, and much like it was your mayor's pleasure to welcome me back for yet another exceptionally fun and suspense-filled reaping, it's my pleasure to be here with all of you wonderful people for what I'm almost positive will be my twenty-first consecutive year of greatness.
"And with that in mind, and boundless joy in my heart, it's my undeniable privilege to declare this, our One Hundred and Fifth Annual Hunger Games Reaping, to be officially…..OPEN!"
I love it when things come together perfectly, it makes me feel like the entire world is on my side. So when my melodic screaming of the word open is punctuated by the roaring crash of a massive wave that somehow manages to amplify the already ground shakingly loud and boisterous roar of my very excited and eager crowd, I can't help but smile and pump my fist in triumph before scooping up my microphone and sauntering towards the front of the stage with that same silly smile still plastered on my face and an almost childlike twinkle in my ruby-colored eyes.
"Well would you look at that, it looks like mother nature is just as eager to get this show on the road as all of you are. And seeing as mother nature is an incredibly important, albeit it an excessively fickle mistress, and I know better than to keep people like that waiting any longer than I absolutely have too, I think it's in all of our best interest to listen to her.
"And so, as I'm sure you all know by now, tradition dictates that we start this party with the selection of our newest female tribute…."
I can't remember the last time I was this excited about something so mundane and uneventful as a picking a slip of paper out of a ball, especially since I've done it damn near half a hundred times in my life already, but for some odd reason, that's exactly what I am. I'm excited about drawing what will most likely be an unimportant and inconsequential slip of sea-green colored paper out of that stupid looking mother-of-pearl colored dolphin reaping ball and I can't for the life of me understand why.
But even so, I force myself not to fight what I hope will end up being a good thing, and within ten or so seconds of me starting towards it, I've snatched up one small, sea-green colored slip of paper from the very heart of the seashell shaped mountain of them and effortlessly sashayed back behind the podium where I eagerly unfold the oh so elegantly folded crescent-shaped slip of paper and almost screaming out the name scribbled within in what I can only assume is an incredibly entertaining and comical high-pitched and childishly excited sounding voice.
"And our female tribute for this year will be…..Coral Atwa…."
I don't get the chance to finish reading Coral's name, which is probably a good thing because I'm almost positive I was going to absolutely butcher her last name if I had to finish reading it. But I don't, and that's because within what might literally have been a fraction of a fraction of a second of me starting in on this poor girl's almost impossible to pronounce last name, I'm treated to the four sweetest sounding words in the English language. The same four little words that have, and probably always will, light up my life and make all the hard work and crap I have to put up with in my job seem like it's actually worthwhile.
"I volunteer as tribute!"
I'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat or two when those words hit my ears, and as I stand there in the middle of the stage with them bouncing around in my head, I can't help but conjure up that silly looking smile from before as I wait with barely contained glee for my newest tribute to arrive. And after ten or so seconds of waiting, the majority of which I spend watching as a small but noticeable bubble appears near the far front side of the sixteen-year-old girl's section, until at long last my brave little volunteer glides out into the center aisle and starts confidently towards the stage.
No, that's not right. I mean, there's really not anything all that 'girly' about this stunning little creature. I mean, no one, and I do mean no one, would normally associate physical traits like this girls bright, seductive blue eyes or flawless lightly bronzed skin with traits you'd expect to find on a 'girl'. Add in the fact that her perfect looking legs and soft curves are on full display in that darling little knee-length dress and sweater combo she's wearing, and you've got yourself a tribute that's a hell of a lot closer to being a woman than she is a girl.
Heck, her only real flaw, and with a body like hers it's hardly a flaw, is that she's a little on the short side. But with her looks I don't see her slightly below-average height, at least for girls from this district, doing anything other than making her that much more marketable in the long run.
"Welcome my dear welcome. As I'm sure you already know, my name is Inala and it's my absolute pleasure to meet you."
"Trust me Inala, the pleasure is all mine."
"That's very kind of you to say….."
"Pearl. My name is Pearl Caspian. But you can just go ahead and call me District Four's next victor if you want."
Oh, I think I'm going to like this girl.
"I like your spunk Pearl, I really do. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves just yet. I mean, I'm sure your as of yet unselected district partner might have something to say about you laying claim to the title of District Four's next victor."
"And he can say whatever he wants Inala. But it's not going to change anything.
"I've been preparing myself for this opportunity, for this moment, for the better part of the last ten years. I'm smart, I'm fast, I'm confident, and most important of all I'm pretty. My partner would have to be the second coming of Finnick Odair to even have a chance of competing with me. And the same goes for all the other tributes in this year's games.
"Because as far as I'm concerned, all twenty-three of them are competing for second place Inala."
Oh I really, really, REALLY like this girl….
"Bold words indeed, but you sound like the kind of girl that's more than capable of backing them up and then some."
"That's because I am Inala. I didn't wait my entire life for this opportunity, for this honor, to go out and play second fiddle to someone else."
"Oh, I can see that Pearl, and I know I speak for not only myself, but for everyone here in the district when I say I look forward to seeing you back all of this up in the arena. But we'll just have to wait until the time is right to do so.
"And with that ladies and gentlemen, please give a loud and proud round of applause for your newest District Four volunteer, the exceedingly lovely and determined Pearl Caspian!"
I'm pretty sure the crowd was just waiting for an excuse to explode, because no sooner have I finished speaking then they let loose with a roar so loud and strong that I can feel the stage shaking beneath my feet. A phenomenon that's only just beginning to subside despite the fact that I spent almost three minutes showing Pearl off to the crowd, and by extension the Capitol cameras, before leading her to her spot next to the girl's reaping ball and eagerly bounding back behind the podium to select my next tribute.
"And now, as I'm sure you've all probably guessed, it's time for the boys!"
This time around I'm not able to keep my excitement contained, not that I did a very good job of it the first time around but still, and within seconds of the s of the word boys slipping off my tongue I'm racing, honest to god racing, over to the boys ink-black colored kraken reaping ball, ripping a slip of sea-green colored paper that just happened to be peering over the edge of the ball, and sprinting back behind the podium unfolding the paper with all the care and dignity of a child with a sugar rush.
"And our male tribute, the lucky lad that gets to spend the next little while working with the stunning and feisty Pearl is…..Sandor Torrent!"
This time I'm able to get the name out, more so because Sandor's entire name was actually somewhat pronounceable than anything else, but that doesn't stop me from spending the entire time I'm talking from doing my best to listen for what I'm sure is coming. The day's second uttering of my four favorite words in the entire world.
Only…..they never come. Instead, after about a minute or so of awkward waiting in near total silence, a small bubble starts to form in the back corner of the sixteen-year-old boy's section around the young man I can only assume is Sandor. And sure enough, after yet another minute and a half of painfully awkward waiting, I'm greeted by the sight of a tall, slightly awkward and lanky looking young man as he slips between two much shorter boys and into the center aisle.
The good thing about Sandor is that he's every bit as attractive as his partner is. Everything from his short, incredibly soft and silky looking dark-brown hair to his richly tanned skin and mesmerizing green eyes practically screams District Four dreamboat. So as long as he ends up being even a fraction as bold and confident as Pearl is, he just might be able to give her a real run for her money.
God, it feels great to get 'stuck' with two such amazing looking tributes for a change….
"Welcome my dear Sandor, welcome. As I'm sure you can imagine, it's an absolute pleasure for me to make the acquaintance of a young man that's as strong and handsome looking as you are."
"Than….Thank you very much, Inala. And if I might be so bold, you're not half bad to look at yourself."
"Oh, you better be careful young man. You keep talking to me like that and I'm likely to swoon. Provided there's not some mile-long line of equally smitten young ladies I'd have to stand in that is."
"Well, then I guess you're in luck. Because as of now you'd be at the very front of any and all lines of, as you so perfectly put it, smitten young ladies."
"You hear that Panem? Sandor is single and looking to mingle, so you'd better get your requests for him in now before I jump on this fine young man and let him make an honest woman out of me.
"But in all seriousness Sandor, it is a real pleasure to meet you and I look forward to working with you over the coming days."
"And I with you Inala."
"Fantastic.
"Do you have anything else you'd like to say? Anything you'd like your throng of adoring fans to know about you before I whisk you away to the Capitol?"
"Well, you see, the thing about that is….I've never really been much of a talker. I prefer to let my actions do most of that for me and just fill in the blanks as needed."
"Well, I can certainly understand and respect that Sandor. And as long as that remains the case, I get the feeling that you and your partner Pearl will get along just fine.
"And with that in mind, I think it's time for me to call her back over here so the crowd can show both of you just how much they appreciate the incredible sacrifice the two of you are making. And I'm going to let them do so right after I finish wishing all of them a very happy and safe Hunger Games. And may the odds be ever in your favor….."
Sandor Torrent-16 (D4M)
"You really should try looking on the bright side of things, Sandy."
"Ok, I'm almost positive I'm going to regret asking you this, but just what exactly is the 'bright side' in all this Filip?"
"You um…..You didn't embarrass yourself on national t.v.?"
I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that Filip just made that absolutely terrible joke, or the fact that I'm laughing at it despite just how cheesy and terrible his joke really was. Then again, Filip always has been good at making jokes, even when the situation calls for a much more measured and serious response, so I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised he found a way to make light of what might very well be the single most depressing thing that's ever happened to me.
"Is that….Is that it? You want me to look on the bright side of things even though all you can come up with for the bright side is that I didn't embarrass myself on national t.v.?"
"Do you….Do you really need anything else?"
"Of course I do! I mean, I'm about to be thrown head first into the Hunger Games with twenty-two cold-blooded monsters from all over Panem; and don't even get me started on the district partner that's already made it abundantly clear that she wants me dead.
"So yes Filip, I need just a little more than the fact that I didn't embarrass myself on nation t.v. if you expect me to spend time trying to look on the bright side."
That probably came off sounding a whole lot harsher than it really needed to be. I mean, I know that Filip is just trying to help, and since making jokes is the only way he really knows how to help is by poking and prodding, along with making jokes, I probably should have expected him to attempt to lighten the mood by making a couple of bad ones.
"So I guess I'm….I guess I'm sorry if I upset you and what not. I was just…..I was just trying to put a happy spin on things and I guess I went and got a little….insensitive about how you must be feeling. I guess it's one thing to make jokes about how you for turned that girl you had a crush on into a lesbian, but not about something as serious as this."
"Don't worry about it man.
"And for the record, that girl was a lesbian BEFORE I asked her out."
"You keep telling yourself that bro. You keep telling yourself that."
I don't know what I would do without Filip. He's the only person I know that has the power to make me smile, let alone laugh, even when all I want to do is cry. Hell, he's probably the only person outside of my family that I genuinely love and trust. Which if I'm being honest with myself, is the only reason I feel comfortable asking him to do what I can only describe as the most personal favor I've ever asked anyone to do for me.
"So not to change the subject or anything….But I have a favor to ask and I need to ask it before we run out of time or I lose my nerve."
"What is it, Sandor?"
"I need you….I need you to look after my family while I'm gone. Keep my party animal of a baby sister out of trouble and make sure my parents don't work themselves to death. At least until I get back."
"No problem man. I mean, I can't guarantee anything with your parents, but it would be my pleasure to keep an eye on that cute sister of yours."
Ugh, does he really have to make this into a joke too?
"I'm being serious Filip. I really need you to do this for me."
"I will man. But if your sister and I happen to discover we're in love while I'm keeping her out of trouble, what do you expect me to do?"
"Pretend that I'm standing a few feet away and am fully prepared to beat you within an inch of your life if you make a move on my sister."
"So, the same thing as always then?"
"The same thing as always…."
He spends the next few seconds pretending to contemplate my offer, mumbling to himself and pretending to calculate the possible risks and rewards of helping me out in the air like some our grade school math teacher used to do, before finally throwing up his hands in mock defeat and accepting my terms.
"Fine, you win. I promise to not only look after your family while you're gone, but to also refrain from hitting on your sister as well.
"You just make sure you remember how far out of my way I went to help you with this after you win the Games and become a great big old celebrity."
"No promises Filip."
And it's with that incredibly lame and obviously hollow joke slash threat hanging in the air that I wrap my best friend in what might be the last hug the two of us will ever share just seconds before a heavily armed peacekeeper arrives and leads him out of the room while a second guard leads my grief-stricken parents, as well as my slightly bored and annoyed looking sister, into the room to take his place.
Pearl Caspian-16 (D4F)
"Did you really have to call out all of the other tributes like that Pearl?"
"What else was I supposed to do daddy? Sit down in the middle of the stage and cry like a baby? Or would it have been better for me to just stand up there and glare mutely at the crowd like some sort of brain-dead brute?"
"Well I think it's pretty obvious that neither of those would have been a good choice, but that doesn't mean your decision to call out every else was a good one either. I mean, would it have killed you to at least try to find some sort of a balance between confident and cocky instead of just going with full-on cocky?"
"But that's how the instructors at the academy told me careers are supposed to act dad, especially if they're going to volunteer for the games like I did.
"And besides, you're the one that taught me never do or say anything that I'm not ready to defend having done or said. And even though I know you might not agree with me on this, saying what I did was the only way I could possibly back up my decision to volunteer."
"I know what I said Pearl, but I never meant for you to take it in such a literal way. Besides, you've had plenty of opportunities to apply that particular lesson before and you never did, so why in the heck would you decide to start doing so now?"
"I don't think it's fair to compare this to what even I knew was an obviously childish and stupid boast that I would be able to navigate the boat back to shore in the middle of a thunderstorm without using the GPS.
"I mean come on dad, even I can tell that difference between what was clearly nothing more than the childish boasts of a ten-year-old girl who was clearly in over her head as opposed to the confident declaration of a very well-trained and proud Hunger Games volunteer. And if I can tell the differences between them then I know for a fact that you can too. So get off my back about it and at least pretend that you're as proud and happy about what I did as I am."
Why in the world did I decide to say that? I mean, I didn't NEED to be so blunt with my words, let alone so dismissive of my dad's admittedly unfounded but still understandable concerns, but I went ahead and did it anyway. All he's trying to do is help and I decide to repay that by throwing his offer back in his face and also demanding that he accept my way of thinking, along with my admittedly shaky reasoning for doing what I did, without ever once even considering that his point of view might be right.
I mean, it's entirely too late for me to do anything about it now, especially since backing off even a little from my incredibly braggadocious statements would make me look both weak and stupid at a time when I really can't afford to look like I'm either. But that doesn't mean I can't at least try to assuage my dad's fears, or at the very least apologize for acting without thinking, before I leave for the Capitol and I have to force myself to continue acting like the super career I was pretending to be earlier. As long as no one ever finds out I did this that is….
"Look dad I'm…."
"Stop right there Pearl. You have nothing to be sorry about.
"I'm the one that should be sorry."
"Daddy no. I…."
"It doesn't matter what I think about what you did, because you've already done it.
"It's just like when you nearly beached the boat when you were trying to catch that dolphin a few years back. Was I pissed after I got the boat out of the sand and back out to sea, sure, but I knew it wouldn't do me or you any good if I yelled and screamed at you because you wouldn't learn anything from your mistake."
"I remember that. You took us back to the dock and gave the crew the rest of the day off before taking us back out to the sandbar and showing me what I had done wrong and how I could avoid doing it again."
"Exactly. And unless my mind is playing tricks on me, you learned more about piloting the ship through dangerous waters from that little lesson then you did from any other source."
"I did. But I'm not sure how that relates to this?"
"It relates because that's the day I learned how to get through to you. It's the day I learned that the only way I can teach you something is by letting you make your own decisions, or mistakes, and then helping you to figure out what went wrong and fix it for next time. Which is exactly what I should have been doing here.
"I can't talk you into understanding why I think what you did was a bad idea; I have to let you come to that decision for yourself. And then, once you're finally ready to admit that you made a mistake, I need to help you figure out what it is that went wrong, where it happened, and how you can fix it so it doesn't happen again."
"But dad you won't….You won't be there to help me do any of that."
"That's what your mentors are for sweetheart. You need to find out which one is the calmest, the most patient, and above all the most understanding, and then turn to her for help once you're ready."
"But what if neither of them wants to help me?
"What if they both decide that I've already painted to big a target on my back to be worth wasting their time and energy to help?"
"Then you go ahead and do what you've always done baby. You force them to see that not only are you not a waste of time, but that you're also only a little bit of help and good advice away from giving them another victor."
I wish I was as confident about all this as my dad is. I mean, what if they do end up thinking I'm not worth their time, or god forbid that my actions today are so out of whack with my action when I finally get around to asking for their help that I must be crazy? And what happens if I never decide that what I did today was wrong? What in the hell am I supposed to do then?!
But I guess there's no reason for me to worry about all of that now, not really anyway. I mean, it's not like I can do anything about the future until I actually get to the future, so worrying about all this stuff that MIGHT happen isn't going to do anything more than give me a headache. So I force myself not to do so. Instead, and with great effort, I push all those worries and concerns from my mind so I can focus on the one thing I do have control over, making the most out of what could be the last few minutes I ever get to spend with my family.
And on that note, I guess it's time to do the one thing I've been putting off for entirely too long as it is.
"Alright dad, I think we've given mom enough time to compose herself. Why don't you go get her and Storm so I can say my goodbyes…."
A/N: First off I'd like to give a very special thanks to POMForever and platypus27 for giving me the chance to bring Pearl and Sandor to life. Both of them are amazing tributes so I hope I did as good a job with them as you were hoping I would when you sent them in.
Well, here we are, another reaping down and we have now officially crossed the 1/3 mark on our journey to the train rides. And the good news is, at least I think this is good news, I'll be done with classes at the end of this week so I'll have a lot more free time to dedicate to writing the chapters, so I hope to be able to get us to district 7 or 8 by the time I go back to class in the middle of January, but with the holidays coming up I don't want to make you all a promise I can't keep. So, just be on the lookout for a potentially slight but noticeable increase in my update speed in the near future. :D
Other than that please review the chapter and let me know what you think of our two newest tributes, as well as the story as a whole, and I'll be looking forward to seeing all of your smiling faces at the District 5 Reaping! :D
