Here's the parade I missed! I forgot to ask for parade outfits, so I had to make up most of them. I almost always make up bad ones, so get ready.


Polyphemus Ignotus

"Good evening, Panem! I'm Polyphemus Ignotus, and this is the Forty-Ninth Hunger Games Parade! All parade, all the time! Let's start, as we always do, with Diiiistrict Ooooone!"

"One always make sure that the parade starts off strong. Calvin is channeling some Golden Boy vibes with a head-to-toe coat of thick gold body paint, with only a pair of golden briefs for modesty. Fable has turned into Panem's Baroque Cinderella in a blue ball gown encrusted with gems of all sorts. Calvin is focused on not accidentally showing off the goods, but Fable is free to have a good time waving her jewel-covered wand."

"Get out the tissues, folks. Seeing Jessie is like seeing a ghost. She's a terra cotta warrior in her sister's image. This is a moment none of us will forget. Daren can't very well follow up after that act, but he looks very intimidating in a suit of shining armor."

"The stylists from Three must be on strike, because I have never in all my years seen something this terrible. I've seen some lazy outfits, but this is a whole new level. Three is the technology District, of course. Tatsuya is wearing a black bodysuit stamped all over with the literal word 'technology'. Words fail. He looks royally mad, too. You only get to be in a Hunger Games parade once. He was hoping for a little more. Jayla is also wearing a bodysuit, but hers lights up in a mesmerizing, technological pattern. She's pointing back and forth from herself to Tatsuya, who appears to be telling her to shut up."

"That is... that is a new one. The chariot for four has been converted into a tank, with Amphilia swimming around in a coral-covered toga. This plays in beautifully with Patrick's outfit. Like his Victor brother before him, he's wearing swim trunks in Four's signature shade of blue. Those in the front row better watch out, because Amphilia is proving to be a splasher."

"Totem is dressed as an atom. Atoms, for Five... groundbreaking. He can't really do much but stand there, since his costume is so large he's almost wedged into the chariot. Lilei is a luckier in a simple white toga with a resplendent corona hat. She was shy at first, but she's starting to wave at her fans."

"Six can be a difficult District to style, but Sofia won't be held back. She wears a sleek black and red racer's suit with smoky makeup. She carries a helmet cocked on one hip. Rory, meanwhile... is the car. They might as well have put Sofia on his back."

"Oh, what do you know. Hades is a lumberjack. He's holding his axe high, though. He definitely wants to tell the audience he's not afraid, even if he is one of the younger contestants. Somehow, Jasmine's costume fits her perfectly. She's draped in a thick, seemingly real bear skin. She holds her arms high, channeling the beast within."

"Zibby is... what is that thing called? Oh, ha! A spool! She's counting on Alistair to hold her up, since her arms are inside the spool. Alistair is wearing... a factory outfit, I guess. It just looks like a boring blue shirt and pants. He's the hero Zibby needs, though, as he keeps her from falling off the chariot."

"The pair from Nine fit together like bread and butter. That is because Caleb is a loaf of bread and Lyann is a pat of butter. There was only one way to go from there, and they take it: Lyann and Caleb are locked in a big bear hug."

"I guess that technically matches the District... Melissa is wearing a unicorn horn, horse ears and a rainbow tail. It honestly looks like they were going for 'horse' and added the horn to make it clearer. Philip got the worse end of this bargain, since he's wearing a costume made entirely of coiled lasso rope. While he tries not to itch everywhere, Melissa is tossing her head and whipping her rainbow extensions around."

"Soya appears to be a soybean. Clever? Stupid? You decide. She appears uncomfortable with all the attention and is smiling politely as she stands straight in the chariot. Thay has no such reservations. He clearly loves his woven vine suit. Oh! He also loves the flowers now blooming off it. He's picking them off and tossing them at his adoring fans."

"Wow, real mixed bag this year. Dayley is your typical miner. He's making up for it with his enthusiastic performance, though, waving and cheering the crowd back. Appaloosa is... a cow? What is this? She doesn't know either. She's shrugging at the audience with her cloven hoof gloves."

"Bit of a letdown this year, but still some shining moments at the Forty-Ninth Hunger Games parade. Ups, downs, and both of them make the other all the more obvious. Let's hope the Games are just as dramatic."


I also forgot to list who wanted allies. Here's a quick list:

Amphilia: Seeking aforementioned group of allies

Totem: Seeking allies

Lilei: Open to trustworthy allies

Sofia: Looking for one strong female ally her age

Zibby and Tatsuya are allied

Lyann: Open to allies

Melissa: Looking for 3 allies (just saying, sounds like Amphilia...)

Philip: Might accept if asked

Soya: Looking for an older ally

Thay: Looking for one or two allies

The list includes only Tributes with ally status listed in their forms.
