Here are the train rides. Each tribute will get two POVs before the Games start. One of those will be training for each tribute.

D8 16 Buttons Ramient POV: I hated the goodbyes. I had to bid farewell to my family and Dye for the last time ever. I don't think I can win, but I need to make it back for Dye.

I'm sitting in the train with Jason and Enoch who are already talking strategy.

"So Jason, what is your plan for the Games?" Enoch asks.

"I dunno Enoch, I think I'm just going to get an alliance and try to survive, what else can I do?"

"Can't be sure, but you will need allies once you get into the arena."

Then they notice I'm in the room. I have been silent the whole time while they've talked. I know Jason from school. He's a year older than me and much more athletic. He might actually have a chance in the Games. I'll probably just die within the first few seconds.

"Um, Buttons, do you want to ally?" Jason asks me.

"I don't want to think about that yet, just leave me alone." I cry as I walk to my bedroom and I plop right down onto the bed. I can't believe this is happening. How could I get picked for the Games? My family isn't poor and I've never had to take tessera so I should never have gotten picked. I slowly cry myself to sleep before the loud booming of the Capitol people awakens me.

D1 16 Aki Chung-Feng POV: This is not good. I mean I've trained and everything, but I was never planning on entering the Games. I'm sure I can get quite far, but that doesn't matter if I just end up going home in a wooden box.

Dante and I are sitting in a large room in two large fluffy armchairs. Then, Beal enters. He smiles and sits down. "So you two are the lucky ones this year for District 1."

"Unfortunately." Dante says without cracking a smile.

"Ok, so my job is to get you out of there. All I can do is give you advice and make sure your sponsor money counts."

Dante nods and so do I. "Do you have any advice?" I ask him.

"Oh, I've got tons. To start, you are going to need to make it past the bloodbath, and there are probably going to be some gnarly tributes out there, so you should probably make an alliance with Districts 2 and 4. They can protect you and they will be the main threats, so you won't have to worry about them until much later."

"Ok, Dante are you ok with that." I turn to face him.

"Sure, we both trained and I'm great with scythes."

"Same for me, but with spears."

Beal smiles, "Looks like we have a plan."

D11 12 Windsor North POV: I can't believe Rocco. He's giving us a ton of advice like I actually need it. I am the best fighter out of all of my friends. I am incredible with a mace and it should be a piece of cake to end these Games and bring the money home to my family. My huge family consists of me and my twin sister, a pair of twins a year younger than us, and then triplets three years younger than myself.

"Windsor, are you listening?" Rocco barks at me. Just because he grew up in a career district he thinks he's an expert on the Games. I am the expert of the Games in this district.

"Yeah Rocco I'm listening." He sighs and goes back to giving my useless district partner information about how not to die. "I'm out of here." I say to Rocco and he ignores me as I stroll down the train.

I reach the next section and realize it's Rocco's bedroom. I start by using up all of the warm water in the shower and squirting his toothpaste everywhere. Then I move onto flushing all of his socks down the toilet and then once it got clogged trying to plunge it out, but I broke the plunger, so I'm pretty sure I got bonus points. I peed on his pillows and then ripped up all of his clothes. Man he's going to be pissed when he finds out. I laugh so hard as I walk out of the room. I close the door and look at the plaster. It reads Male Tribute's Room. I yell as I run down the hall and try to make myself comfortable on the couch.

D4 13 Conlen Mooney POV: I have enjoyed this train ride. Darcy has been crying the whole time while Catriona and myself talk strategy. I don't even know if Darcy has trained, so she might not even get in with the careers. Then the TV flicks on and the recaps start. I watch as an Asian girl gets reaped in District 1, alongside a strong tan boy. I believe they will be careers. Then a strong, tall girl gets reaped in District 2, alongside a seventeen year old volunteer who looks super cocky. In District 3, two terrified tributes make their way up to the stage, but I can tell the boy is hiding it very well. I see myself refuse to the volunteer and Darcy get reaped next in District 4. In 5, a weak girl is reaped alongside an average boy. 6 is the best with the girl looking terrified and the boy screaming at everybody. In 7, a strong boy is reaped alongside a crazy little girl who volunteers. In 8, a girl volunteers for her sister, she looks pretty weak, and a boy that looks pretty strong is reaped. In 9, a tiny girl is reaped and a strong boy is reaped. In 10, a cowboy is reaped alongside an average looking girl. In 11 another crazy little kid volunteers alongside a weak girl. Finally in 12, a kid is reaped alongside a super stealthy girl. This will be an easy win.

D2 17 Athalea Smith POV: Vulcan is such a cocky career. Now I'm not a huge careers suck person, I just prefer to work solo. I've trained with a bow in District 2, so I can probably sharpshoot some tributes from far away without ever having to get too close to them. Prochoros is absolutely no help and just grumbles at us all the time.

I hear the roar of the Capitol and I realize we're pulling in. It's about midnight and I can't believe that people were awake just to see us in person. After all, it's fun to get to know the people that are about to die in front of you. The Capitol is so sick and twisted. Prochoros falls out of the train and Vulcan has to drag him to the training center. I'm pretty sure that Prochoros is on morphling and will be for the rest of our short lives. I doubt if when we die he'll even notice. More likely he'll be trading our sponsor money for his next hit.

Watching the recaps was interesting and we had a wide array of tributes. Ones that stuck out to me were the little boy from 11, and the huge boy from 6. The boy from 11 is clearly insane and the boy from 6 is clearly going to try to kill a ton of people. I wonder if he'll even bother using a weapon, but I doubt he minds using his hands.

D3 16 Mauve Waters POV: Our train pulls up in the Capitol and Yohan points to the door. Yohan and his son basically talked the whole ride and completely ignored me, but I get it. His son's going to die, may as well say a pretty lengthy goodbye. It is about six in the morning as we pull into the Capitol. I see a person with a pink poodle, and another with a shark face. In school we learned how they do it to their bodies and I don't see why anyone would go through the painful implants to look like a freak. We start walking on the red carpet to a huge building which must be the Training Centre. I'm ready to go.
