A/N: So I know I'm kinda bombing you with updates, but I really want to get to the bloodbath! Also, the individual sessions are my least favorite to write, so sorry if it's shit. And just so you know, the average training score for the tributes of the 226th Hunger Games is a 6.6.

And I'm on ask fm now, so you can check out my profile for the link.

Oh, and I'm on FictionPress, and I'm Annabeth-TheTributeThatLived there as well.

No Spotlight Story today, sorry.

Lilywater Brooksfield POV

Head Gamemaker

After last year when hardly anyone was paying attention to the individual training sessions, today I've provided the Gamemakers with coffee and yellow legal pads. Before the girl from District 1 comes in, I stand up at the front of the balcony to address my coworkers.

"Alright guys, listen up," I say. "We all know how important this year is to Baxwell, so we cannot half-ass this. We have to be professional and attentive."

There's a muttering of agreement, and I sit down, satisfied. I turn on the intercom.

"Sapphirina Rosemund."

Within seconds, the girl from District 1 walks into the room confidently. She heads straight for the throwing knives and starts killing some dummies. The first few, she misses, and then she starts to hit the target. By the time she is nearing the end of her session, she starts to make a few bulls-eyes. We all share a nod of agreement and dismiss her.

"Ambrose Chap."

Ambrose walks in confidently smirking.

"Get used to my name, you'll be hearing it a lot after I win."

He sprints to spear throwing and chucks them with far more accuracy than Sapphirina did with the knives. Half way through his session, he calls for a sword trainer and overpowers him after some struggle. His buzzer goes off and he gives a quick bow before leaving.

"Jasmin Kentwell."

Jasmin comes in confidently, with her shoulders back and her chin up. She smiles up at us, and goes to the tomahawk station. She throws around some axes with remarkable accuracy, and when she's done with that she goes on to the regular axes. She looks small, but she can lift heavy axes above her head. She throws one of the largest axes, and it decapitates one dummy and lands in the heart of another. Then, she runs around with an ax decapitating various dummies.

"Thank you for your time," she says. "I won't disappoint you in the arena."

She smiles, and walks off.

"Mason Quartz."

Mason walk in slowly, as if he has all the time in the world. He's very self assured; I like it. He saunters over to the mace station and begins aggressively bludgeoning dummies. He would have gotten a decent score for just that, but he called for the two most advanced sword trainers.

He grabbed two swords from the rack and began fighting them both at once, and more impressively, he beat them both.

"Thank you, Mason," I say. "You may leave."

"Techa Pixel."

The small girl walks into the gym and looks around. She goes to throwing knives, pauses and starts. She throws 10 knives total, and 6 hit the target, 3 of which were kill shots. She actually wasn't too much worse than Sapphirina. She goes to the climbing net next, and climbs to the top at an average time. She climbs back down and works on a fire until her buzzer goes off

"William Dye."

We wait 15 minutes, but William doesn't show up for his session. That's an automatic zero. I'm actually relieved that he didn't show up. He repulses me, and I didn't want to have to look at him.

"Star Fire."

Star struts in, as confident as the rest of the Careers. She heads for the tomakawk station and begins to throw from further away than Jasmin did. She throws several tomahawks, and they all hit the target. When she's satisfied, she goes to the axes and starts cutting off the already decapitated dummy's limbs. When we think she's done, she goes to the throwing knives and makes 6 bullseyes.

Even though her time isn't p yet, I say "Thank you, Star. You're dismissed."

"Timothy Porter."

Timothy walks in and goes straight to tridents. He throws some smaller ones and runs with larger ones, stabbing and impaling dummies. He's good at it, but it's all he does for his entire fifteen minutes, and after the first five minutes, it becomes dreadfully boring. Still, as a Career tribute, he doesn't have to learn much more than that. He knows what he's doing and that's what counts.

"Isadora Fox."

I'm really looking forward to Isadora, because she's the tribute that Alicia is mentoring this year. I lean forward in my seat as she goes to the rock walls. She goes to the most difficult wall and climbs it with ease. After rock climbing, she goes to the ropes course and climbs that to the top. She's a really good climber, but I wish we had gotten to see more of what she could do.

"James Cornelus."

James was average. He went to spear throwing, but wasn't great at it. Less than half of the spears hit the target, but the ones that did were kill shots. After that, he went to some of the survival stations and fiddled around with fires and edible plants. When he had to leave, we weren't overly impressed, but we weren't disappointed to see him go either.

"Elizabeth Jett."

I'm excited for Elizabeth, she's Maverick Jett's twin sister.

"Hello," she says upon enterance. "I'm Elizabeth. I'm sure most of you know my twin brother, Maverick. He won the games three years ago. Now I'm here to win the games this year."

She walks confidently to the archery station and lets a dozen arrows fly. All of them hit the target, but few are bullseyes. She goes to spears next and is better there. She throws a dozen spears, and almost all of them are bullseyes. She grabs a knife and slits the throats of the 24 dummies she just impaled. Her buzzer goes off, and she leaves the gym looking proud of herself.

"Michael Gilson."

When Michael comes in, he goes to the sword fighting area and grabs a small sword that's suited for him. He calls for a beginner's trainer, and after his fifteen minutes are up, he just barely overpowers the trainer. There's a murmering of agreement

"Ivy Barker."

Ivy walks straight to axes and throws some tomahawks. She "kills" several dummies, then grabs a larger ax and decapitates all of them. With her remaining time, she goes to the mace station and bludgeons some dummies, and I can't help but notice how good she is with it. It's as if the mace is an extension of her arm.

"Leon Fiend."

The shy looking boy from District 7 walks in and wordlessly goes to logic and strategy. He goes through a few scenarios, and when he notices that we're getting bored, he hides himself well in the fire building station, and continues on his device. His scores are being broadcasted on a large screen in the back of the gym, and he's doing well. It's a relief when he finally leaves.

"Jaclyn Hide."

Jaclyn is the tribute that I submitted to the president, so I'm excited to see how she'll do. She starts off at the edible plants station and stumbles through that. She looks up at our balcony and notices us getting bored. Her face flushes red, and her fists clench. She runs over to the short swords and starts demolishing some dummies. When she leaves, we're not sure what to think of her performance.

"Noah Owenberg."

Noah does the craziest thing I've ever seen. He quickly scales the easiest rock wall, then jumps off of it, landing purposefully on his left wrist. It bends unnaturally and I can hear the crack from the balcony. He grits his teeth, then walks to the medicinal plants station. He puts together a paste of some sort, and applies it over his wrist. He wraps it in some sort of leaf, and by the time his fifteen minutes are up, he can move it well again.

"Robyn Kramer."

Robyn comes in looking disoriented. She's looking around the gym, as if confused. When her eyes land on the slingshot station, she walks over there, as if in a trance. She fumbles with the weapon for a while, sending pieces of ammo at dummies. She doesn't have the best aim, and it's clear watching her that she's not comfortable with a weapon. She seems glad to leave when her fifteen minutes are up, but has some trouble finding the door.

"Felan Hirdler."

Felan walks in, and even though he can probably use a sickle, he walks over to the survival stations. He spends a few minutes at each, but he's not particularly good at any of them other than edible plants. He was really boring to watch, and I hope that the other tributes are better.

"Kalia Uloda."

Kalia was just bizarre. She went to the trident area and throws some small ones. She's not half bad, but nowhere near as good as Timothy. I really want to know where she picked that up. She throws small tridents for her entire fifteen minutes, and leaves, stumbling in her sneakers.

"Fenton Henderson."

I liked Fenton. He's the butcher's son, and his throwing knife skills proved it. He threw knives with remarkable accuracy for a while. When he was done there, he went to the ropes course and scaled the ropes easily. He wasn't bad at it, but he was nowhere near as good as others that I've seen.

"Amina Hambly."

Amina was another child of a butcher that throws knives, but she wasn't as accurate as Fenton. She was pretty good, but Fenton was just a bit better. You can tell by her stance that she's confident and feisty, and I really like that about her. When she's done throwing knives, she does a couple of laps around the gym, totaling a mile.

"Ralix Levionne."

Ralix seems like decent competition. He's not trained or overly muscular or tall, but he's decently strong, and there's something about him that makes him seem like he's in it to win it. He goes to hand to hand combat and fights a trainer for a while. The trainer is a mid to upper level trainer, but Ralix eventually beats him. He does some laps around the gym and climbs the ropes, and then his session is over.

"Lileth Thompson."

Lileth struts in, and goes directly to hand to hand combat. She calls for an advanced trainer and fights him for a while. Within minutes, she has him on the ground with one knee in his windpipe, and the other between his lungs. After hand to hand, she goes to tomahawks and throws some axes at targets. She's pretty good at it, and has impeccable aim. With her remaining time, she goes to archery and fires off a few arrows. She's more accurate with tomahawks, but she's good with a bow.

"Jasper Sarunski."

I lean forward in anticipation. He's 14 years old and from District 12, yet he volunteered. That never happens, so I'm waiting with baited breath. He goes to sword fighting and calls for the most advanced trainer. He fights the trainer for the full fifteen minutes, and eventually, the trainer just barely beats him. Jasper could probably easily kill a noncareer.

Time skip: Same day, 6:00 pm (18:00 for my Europeans)

Lileth Thompson (17) POV

District 12 female

After our dinner of roasted chicken, steamed vegetables and pasta, it was time for the announcement of the training scores. My heart was pounding, and I could feel it in my throat. If I don't get a good enough score, I won't be allowed to stay with the Careers, and they know what I can do. Plus, that would just make me a target.

"Good evening, Panem," Severa Eta says. "Welcome to the broadcast of the training scores for our tributes of the 226th Hunger Games! Without further ado, let's get started.

"Ambrose Chap, with a score of 10. Sapphirina Rosemund, with a score of 7." I'm not surprised at Ambrose's score, but generally, the tributes from District 1 have something higher than a 7, especially the volunteers.

"Mason Quartz, with a score of 10. Jasmin Kentwell, with a score of 9." I'm not at all surprised there either, but I'm dying to know what Mason did. We never got to see him train before he left.

"William Dye, with a score of 0. Techa Pixel, with a score of 5." I remember not seeing the boy from 3 waiting for the individual sessions, so his zero doesn't surprise me. I'm impressed with the girl's 5, though, since she's so small. I was expecting a 4.

"Timothy Porter, with a score of 8. Star Fire, with a score of 10." Again, I'm not surprised. I was expecting Tim to get at least a 9, but that might have just been me.

"James Cornelus, with a score of 5. Isadora Fox, with a score of 6." Average scores from an average district. Yawn.

"Michael Gilson, with a score of 4. Elizabeth Jett with a score of 8." I'm not surprised with the boy's 4; he was small and young. I'm trying to remember if we ever thought about letting the girl into our alliance.

"Leon Fiend, with a score of 4. Ivy Barker, with a score of 7." Again, pretty average. The girl getting the same score as Sapphirina was kind of impressive, though.

"Noah Owenberg, with a score of 5. Jaclyn Hide, with a score of 6." I'm honestly getting annoyed at the average scores. Come on, someone has to be a threat to the Careers. It would be no fun otherwise.

"Felan Hirdler, with a score of 4. Robyn Kramer, with a score of 4." I'm getting tired. Good thing there's only 3 more districts left. Then, I can go to sleep.

"Fenton Henderson, with a score of 8. Kalia Uloda, with a score of 6." Fucking finally. Fenton could be a threat. I remember Kalia helping Sapphirina at tridents, so she can't be too useless.

"Ralix Levionne, with a score of 8. Amina Hambly, with a score of 7." Alright, we're getting somewhere. This should be interesting.

I look at Jasper and grip his hand in a friendly way. I told him about my plan, so he's fine with me joining the Careers.

"And finally, Jasper Sarunski, with a score of 9. And Lileth Thompson, with a score of 10."

I got the same score as Star and Ambrose! Yes! I give Jasper a high five, since he got a high score as well. I try to go to bed, but Polianna ordered a celebratory cake. I can't say no to that.
