Gamemaker Private Sessions
A/N: hey guys, here's another chapter :D next is the bloodbath and I'm super excited! I think I'm going to do it from a Capital Citizen POV and then the chapter after that will have a few tribute's reactions to what happened :D what do you think about that guys?
***also I need you guys to keep voting on the poll on my profile!
Here you go!
Gamemaker Aelius' POV
I guess it's that time again, time to see what these kids are made of. Some of the newer Gamemakers are quite excited although the ones like me who have been here a while know this is one of the most broing parts of being a Gamemaker.
The first kid to walk in is the male from 1, he seems very confident and he marches right over to the knives station, typical District 1 tribute. I'll admit the kid has some skill, he takes down 6 dummies without breaking a sweat. I give him a high score.
Next is his sister and district partner, she also walks over to the knives. I sigh and begin jotting down mediocre notes for her but I am surprised when I see her grab a few knives and then make her way to the trap making station. Interesting, I wonder what she's up to. Her nimble fingers move swiftly and within minutes she has fashioned a trap that she sets up in a tall branch of a climbing tree. She pushes a dummy over from the swords station and pushes him beneath the tree. Immediately the dummy is impaled three times, once in theheart, head, and stomach. I give her an exceptional score.
The girl leaves a tall male from District 2 marches in. He goes over to the weights station and starts throwing around a few medicine balls. He realizes our disappointment and goes over to the swords station, wow I've seen throwing knives but throwing swords? Extra points for presentation!
A small girl walks in, she could be no older than 14! It's a wonder she's made it into the Career alliance at all. She requests a fighting partner and one is sent out to her. The girl takes a strong fighting stance and whips out a small knife, I never even saw her pick that up! She takes jabs at the man in front of her and he looks just as surprised as I feel. I think I just found out how she got into the Careers, I give her a fairly high score.
Next up is the male tribute from District 3, he looks like the typical guy with no features that really stand out. He makes his way casually to the weights station and throws around a few heavy balls. After a few minutes of this he warily goes to the swords station and skewers a few dummies through the heart. Nothing too special so he receives an average score.
His little sister is up next, or so I've been told she's younger though she appears to be taller than him. She rushes over to the knives station and picks up a few small throwing knives. She then requests trainers for the Gauntlet and she is off, she is small and quick and as she lands her nimble feet on each step she tosses a knife, aiming for the archery station next to her. A few of the knives hit their mark but most end up lodged in the foot or arm of the dummies. I give her props for trying something but was left unimpressed.
Wow for a District 4 boy he sure is small, oh now I remember he is the little volunteer from 4. I can't wait to see what skills this one has, he surely has something or else why would he volunteer? He does the basics, identifying most plants correctly and tying a few knots. I'm bored and this is only District 4! Finally we see a bit of action when he throws a spear into a dummy, narrowly missing the vital target. I give him a mediocre scoring.
The boy's older sister walks in and there is a certain air of confidence about her, you would think she were 8 feet tall with her attitude! She throws a few knives and shows off her knowledge of traps. Not much but she was very accurate with the knives, 9/10 would have killed a tribute. I give her a generous score.
Next is the District 5 male, he walks on the balls of his feet which I find odd, it seems almost as if he is sneaking up on someone. Strange. Anyway he requests a fighting partner and immediately as the partner walks out the boy attacks him, pinning him to the floor. Even our highly trained personnel cannot get up until the boy releases him from his grip. Wow, definitely impressive. He motions for the partner to come at him and he does, swinging his arm towards the boy's face. He quickly dodges that blow and a few more until we dismiss him. Overall he did well, I give him a fairly high score.
The female from District 5 walks in and I am shocked to see the family resemblance, same green eyes, dark hair, same body build. Basically the girl does the same thing as the boy, fighting and dodging, but leaves enough time at the end to show us a few impressive traps. Unfortunately for her, Gamemakers hate to see the same thing twice.
The District 6 male is up next, he has curly dark hair and well muscled, if I had to bet I'd say he was a decent fighter. It was definitely nice to see a weapon picked up, the last two used their own skills. The male picked up a spear and shot it across the room where it landed through the stomach of a training dummy. He then took a sword from the station and positioned himself between 2 dummies. Both of which he fought with little trouble. Decent performance I`d say, and I give him a higher than average score.
Next is the young girl from 6, she has thick dark hair and is extremely pale. I notice she is quite thin as well as she heads over to knives station, she has average aim and hits the third or fourth ring each throw. After this she seems lost a just stands there looking around for a few minutes before we dismiss her. She receives a fairly low scoring.
District 7 male is up next, he heads right over to the axe station. Typical 7 tribute, I wonder if maybe next year we won't put in axes, I'm sick of seeing these tributes with axes! He begins chopping off the limbs of a few dummies with excellent speed, maybe this will be one to watch? He's fairly good. Ugh, somehow the boy manages to cut off a sandbag, there's sand everywhere now, wait where'd he go? I guess he left, well anyway he receives a generous score.
The girl from 7 is quite tiny, looks like I just found another bloodbath in the bunch (A/N: Not really!). She looks a bit lost but finally makes her way over to the climbing station, her small size makes her an excellent climber I might add. She shows off her skills with fire making, but that won't really help her unless she wants to be found and killed, ha! I give her a decent score.
A boy walks in and I don't honestly recognize him, though I know he must be from District 8. He shows off a few interesting skills in a form of fighting which I recognize as Taekwondo and he performs with sharp gestures. I'm not sure how much this will help him though, he's quite small and could easily be cut down by a sword before he can make a move. We dismiss him after 15 minutes and give him a below average score.
The girl from 8 is slight and looks very delicate, she won't last lon, I'll bet on that. She uses a knife to cut open a wound on a dummy and quickly treats and sew the wound with supplies from the medical area. I can't help but think that medical treatment is only going to be needed by the tributes that make it past the bloodbath, so I don't believe this will help her much. Overall a pretty boring showing and the Gamemakers are getting drunker by the minute, she receives a low score.
The next tribute to walk in is a stick thin boy with eyes that look small and beady like those of a rat. I shudder, what filthy vermin rats are. He looks very confused and just turns to us with a smug smile, do something kid your time is ticking. Finally he decides to show us some spear throwing, truly he is horrible at it. I think he realizes this because he heads over to the knives, then the archery, and finally the swords before we are finally able to dismiss him. And let me tell you he was no better at any other weapon either, he receives a low score.
The girl walks in and she is thankfully much more well built than her brother, and she has some muscle too. Maybe she has a chance at the Victor crown after all, unlike her idiot brother. She walks over to the running track and does a few laps, she's quite fast but nothing exceptional. Later she manages to create a complicated trap and demonstrates it on a dummy. The trap is built to knock the tribute to the ground with a rope and then catch their hands so they are unable to move, very clever. I give her an above average score.
The boy from 10 is very muscular and tall, he has a large scar reaching from his right eye to the end of his chin, hopefully he got it from a fight or something interesting like that. I am disappointed when he walks right past the weapons stations and starts climbing, he's a good climber but a well muscled tribute like himself should be able to wield a sword with ease. He shows us some first aid and fire building but I am left unimpressed, he receives an average score.
His district partner walks in and I am surprised to see no family resemblance, most tributes have had a few similarities that classified them as siblings. She has blonde hair and freckles, and she is also very small, very much unlike her partner who has dark hair and is well built. Oh now I remember, this is the young couple from 10! That explains it! She throws a few knives but I miss most of her presentation because a roast lamb is brought out for the Gamemakers, I give her an average score though.
The boy from 11 is quite small, he will likely not last long in the Games unless he is a very fast runner. He shows some decent skill with spears and then a bit of archery, though he's much better with the first. I give him a decent score for I am quite impressed with the young boy.
I thought the boy was tiny, the girl looks no more than 8 years old! She gives us a sweet smile before heading over to the poisons station and making a few mixtures. She brings over 3 dummies and dumps the mixtures onto their stomachs. The first dies immediately, while the second is a tad bit delayed, the third looks like it has eaten right through the skin, ouch that could do some damage! Taking her size into consideration I give her a generous score.
The male tribute from 12 is a hit with the Gamemakers, who are incredibly drunk at the moment, sadly I am required to remain sober to assess the tributes. He makes jokes and gets us laughing as he cuts apart a few dummies with a sharp knife. For his humour I give him a good score, as he was only average with the knife.
The female of District 12 is something else, she shows us some camouflage, making a backpack disappear right before our eyes. She has some good archery skills, though District 12s with a bow and arrow are very much overdone. She has a fiery look in her eyes that both startles and excites me, I'm very excited to see how she performs under pressure.
Last district, finally I think my butt is numb from sitting for so long. The male walks in and I am happy to say he is well muscled and tall, just this alone is grounds to give him a high score. He requests a fighting partner and hand him a piece of cloth to put in the neck of his suit. Moving swiftly he attacks the trainer and moves around him, switching directions quickly and landing a few well placed hits. Both men are sweating and the tribute holds up the piece of cloth. Grabbing at the neck of his shirt the trainer looks alarmed, as am I. The boy deserves the score I give him.
Oh goodness, what's with all the tiny tributes this year, this one is almost as small as the girl from 11. She looks up at us with fear evident in her blue-green eyes before walking quickly over to the darts station. Interesting, we rarely see a need to put darts in the arena as not many know how to use them. She picks us a blow dart tube with uncertain hands and takes aim. She releases the first dart which hits the lower part of the target, I laugh out loud, why did I expect her to be good? She looks very uncomfortable but takes aim again and this one is closer, the last she releases is right on the bull's eye. I am quite impressed and give her a good score.
Finally these sessions are over with, the interviews are tonight and tomorrow, let the Games begin.
