I didn't forget the sessions, I just forgot they come before interviews. Italics are Harley butting in.
ATTN: HEAD GAMEMAKER TITIAN QIN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORTS
THEODORA HARP AND HEAD SECRETARY HARLEQUIN MARCEAU
"He's creepy."
"That's not nice, Har."
"He just went bonkers after that Patriot Games thing. He shot that kid."
"I'm kind of glad I don't know more about that."
"You know what else is weird?"
"No, what?"
"'Har' is a short form of 'Harley' which is a short form of 'Harlequin'. I have a nickname for my nickname."
DISTRICT ONE MALE: ATTILA ATTARD
DESCRIPTION: Attila showed us his skills with maces and throwing knives. It was your generic Career session, but he did his job well. Outside of the official session, Attila got along well with his allies and showed none of the arrogance or egoism common with Careers. He is highly capable of killing, but he did show considerable empathy toward the outlying Tributes. He was not the chosen volunteer this year, and though he performed well at the Academy, we anticipate this will affect his sponsorships.
SPECIAL NOTES: We do not believe the recent death of Attila's father will affect him in the Games, since Careers are trained in handling death and emotions.
SCORE: 10
ODDS: 14:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Possible Victor, few kills
NOTES: Geez, you go into the Games to save your dad and this happens.
DISTRICT ONE FEMALE: JAYDEN CHADSEY
DESCRIPTION: Jayden focused on close combat with brass knuckles. While her weapon seems at first glance to be less threatening than most, the fatal force of her punches and the portability of her weapon balance that out. With her allies and at the Academy, Jayden has shown high levels of loyalty. She is the most physically well-rounded of the Careers and displays much more drive than her District partner.
SPECIAL NOTES: Jayden is ripped. Like even more than most Careers. Also, we anticipate she will go farther than Attila.
SCORE: 9
ODDS: 13:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Possible Victor, many kills
NOTES: Yeah but like what if someone has a bow and arrow?
DISTRICT TWO MALE: HERO NOLAN
DESCRIPTION: Hero provided a sampling of the many weapons he was trained in. He was capable in all of them but lacked the enthusiasm of the earlier Careers. Like Attila, he shows high levels of empathy for his competition, and he has been recorded saying he does not want to kill children and isn't interested in glory. We don't know why he's here, and we definitely think that will affect his placement. His placement will be significantly affected by the presence or absence of poisonous animals in the Arena.
SPECIAL NOTES: Hero is smoking hot. Theodora has bad taste.
SCORE: 8
ODDS: 20:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Unlikely Victor, few kills
NOTES: Should have stayed home and been a model. Yeah, he could model with Rhoda. Now that's hot.
DISTRICT TWO FEMALE: CHROME CABELLO
DESCRIPTION: Chrome showed a skill she had been hiding from her allies: archery. She excelled at it and showed great cunning by keeping it secret from the Careers. We know from her time in training that she is also capable with most other weapons. At six feet tall, Chrome is both intimidating and well-built. However, she does not share the motivation of most Careers. She is here because of family pressure, and it is clear her only goal in the Games is to survive, which could gain the suspicion of her allies but will most likely improve her placing. She is pragmatic instead of idealistic, and we think that will help her.
SPECIAL NOTES: Chrome is the most mentally resilient of the Careers.
SCORE: 10
ODDS: 12:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Possible Victor, few kills
NOTES: I like you. You're not mean like some Careers. None of them are this year, really.
DISTRICT THREE MALE: JACK BALT
DESCRIPTION: Jack used a pickaxe, but he explained beforehand that he knew there likely wouldn't be any in the Cornucopia and he is also training with other weapons. He was able to easily swing the heavy weapon, since he is stronger than most Three Tributes. There was nothing particularly impressive about the session, but he did nothing to really disappoint. His determination to stand out may net him additional sponsors.
SPECIAL NOTES: There is no evidence of learning disability or mental deficiency in Jack. He merely prefers other areas.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 26:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Early Death, no kills
NOTES: Congratulations, you're not like most people from Three. You'll still die, though- like most of them.
DISTRICT THREE FEMALE: SHINJU MATSUSHITA
DESCRIPTION: Hoo boy. Shinju does not like mannequins, as evidenced by her session. She was not savage like some Tributes, but she methodically extracted every bit of stuffing, showing special attention to the neck area. Though there was nothing on the knife, she still licked it lovingly. Throughout the training days, Shinju has spent her time threatening and harassing other Tributes, to the point where the Careers, though not afraid of her, treat her with special disdain. While she is not strong enough to fight any of them, we suspect she may survive the Bloodbath merely because no individual Career wants to attack her for fear of the light but painful wounds she is sure to inflict before death.
SPECIAL NOTES: It is not clear how many people Shinju has killed, due to the poor criminal investigation records in Three, but she is suspected in three missing persons cases. She clearly has a loose grip on reality and shows signs of both psychosis and antisocial personality disorder. We fear she may die from hepatitis or another bloodborne disease. It is also possible she may be eliminated by the Gamemakers in a manner similar to Titus Gein.
SCORE: 7
ODDS: 100:1 (adjusted for likely Gamemaker interference)
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Late death, many kills
NOTES: Great, we have a vampire. She didn't reflect in the glass. She did too! Don't do that to me!
DISTRICT FOUR MALE: TILLIAN "GATOR" VOYAGE
DESCRIPTION: Gator first wrestled adeptly, then showed the extent of his skills with his prosthetic arm. He was able to rig up nets and camouflage them, and before time ran out, he was about to demonstrate his ability to lash a knife to his stump and fight with it. Gator's main disadvantage is in his relationship with his alliance. He showed intelligence in allying with the Careers to avoid being targeted, but he is obviously the low man on the totem pole and is barely a member of the group. He lacks the ferocity or drive of his allies, and his interview shows he is a normal Four boy who went to the Games only because of a mistake with the true volunteer.
SPECIAL NOTES: Games Officials have ruled that Gator will not be allowed to take his prosthesis into the Arena.
SCORE: 5 (adjusted for lack of prosthesis)
ODDS: 29:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Late Death, no kills
NOTES: It's hard for Jack to stand out when we have a vampire and a gator boy.
DISTRICT FOUR FEMALE: EREN LINDELL
DESCRIPTION: Defying stereotypes, Eren used an axe as her weapon. She did very well utilizing its devastating weight and force. She also tied knots to show her more mundane but still necessary skills. Eren is the Career with the least baggage in her past, and she is the most lighthearted, though she is still focused. We do not anticipate she will initiate the Career breakup, and we suspect she will make strong friendships in the Games, most likely with Jayden or Hero. She is of course confident in swimming and water combat, and our only concern is that the others may think she is a soft target due to her friendly nature.
SPECIAL NOTES: It is nearly certain that Eren will outlast Gator, and she will likely get all of the sponsors from Four.
SCORE: 9
ODDS: 16:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Unlikely Victor, few kills
NOTES: Four always was more laid-back. Yeah, they surf and eat shrimp all day.
DISTRICT FIVE MALE: ACER PACKARD
DESCRIPTION: Acer built a fire and stabbed a few dummies. It showed his ingenuity and willingness to fight, but did little to impress, especially since he is a volunteer. There lies our gravest concern. Acer does not have the skill or strength to volunteer, and this shows poor judgement and overconfidence. His reason for volunteering- to escape an overbearing family- was confusing at best and bizarre at worst. He has already seen that he made a great mistake, but it is too late for anything but damage control now.
SPECIAL NOTES: Acer is an outlier volunteer.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 48:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: I've had some family troubles, but that might have been an overreaction.
DISTRICT FIVE FEMALE: ALLY TESLA
DESCRIPTION: Ally took a simpler approach and lifted arm and leg weights. For her small size, she lifted an impressive amount of weights. Ally is likely to be one of the most resiliently optimistic Tributes in the Arena, since she displays constant cheerfulness in the Games Building. Her alliance with Yara Warsaw is good for morale but little else, but her other ally Jayson Dable is a formidable protector. The alliance in whole is likely to get many sponsors for its cuteness factor.
SPECIAL NOTES: Ally is diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which appears to affect her minimally.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 45:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: We get one every year. Why can't I watch the deathmatch without guilt?
DISTRICT SIX MALE: ARAN COOPER
DESCRIPTION: Aran ran around a lot for his session. He was decently fast, but he tripped once and totally ate pavement. The most troubling thing about Aran is that as a coping mechanism, he harbors a delusion that the Games are not what they seem and that no one really dies. He exhibits fear and anxiety, which suggests that he knows deep down what is really going on, but his refusal to completely accept reality will likely kill him.
SPECIAL NOTES: Aran showed no real skills in his session.
SCORE: 3
ODDS: 76:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: You're gonna find out.
DISTRICT SIX FEMALE: KIRSTA THALES
DESCRIPTION: Kirsta went with three skills: agility, plants, and daggers. She was naturally adept at the agility course, capable with a few plants, and mediocre with daggers. We were concerned at first when we heard she had been a morphling addict, but she has been clean now for some months and has not relapsed in the Capitol, despite her less than helpful mentors. She has chosen not to ally, which could be either helpful or detrimental.
SPECIAL NOTES: Kirsta has an addictive personality.
SCORE: 5
ODDS: 28:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Early Death, no kills
NOTES: This one is forgettable.
DISTRICT SEVEN MALE: MARCUS HENRY WILBERFORCE
DESRCIPTION: Marcus stayed with the ropes course and did well, as expected from someone from Seven. He did not show any offensive skills and will likely be a target for the Careers. He has not chosen to ally with anyone, though he spent some time training with Attila and appears to have a measure of protection from the Career.
SPECIAL NOTES: Marcus is especially gregarious, which may prove detrimental.
SCORE: 5
ODDS: 34:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: Too bad, since you're so nice.
DISRICT SEVEN FEMALE: MARJORIE "JODIE" JACKSON
DESCRIPTION: It's not every day we see a bolo. Jodie was able to trip up her assistant and ran instead of fighting further. She appears to be merciful but still aware of what it takes to win. This, in addition to her charitable activities in Seven, should net her many sponsors. She has not chosen to ally, but we do not think this will hinder her.
SPECIAL NOTES: Jodie will likely get most of the sponsors from Seven, since Marcus will likely die in the Bloodbath.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 24:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Late death, no kills
NOTES: I hope you win. I like you.
DISTRICT EIGHT MALE: NIKO LAFONT
DESCRIPTION: Niko ran one lap to show his speed, which was prodigious, and then used the spear. He lacked confidence and assertion, but he was able to defend himself from his attacker. Outside the session, Niko has a submissive and timid nature. He is a follower, not a leader, and would do well in an alliance, which he is zealously seeking. If his allies have ulterior motives, they will easily be able to betray him.
SPECIAL NOTES: Niko shows PTSD symptoms from an encounter with Peacekeepers.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 27:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Early death, no kills
NOTES: It's not good to be a follower in the Arena.
DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE: CAVENDER JONES
DESCRIPTION: Cavender, knowing her smaller frame would be vulnerable, astutely chose poisons as her weapon. She used both a knife and a blowgun, but showed more skill with the knife. She preferred plant-based poisons, which can be found in most Arenas. Outside of the session, Cavender has focused on buttering up sponsors, which is an underrated strategy.
SPECIAL NOTES: None of import.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 24:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Late death, no kills
NOTES: You're the one with the boyfriend. So romantic.
DISTRICT NINE MALE: NASSOR DOYLE
DESCRIPTION: For his session, Nassor chose the agility course. He made it through the course without getting hit once, which was very impressive. He chose not to use his sword and instead ran from the attackers, displaying caution. Though he did not show it in the session, Nassor is highly intelligent and is especially capable with invention. He has additional motivation to get home in the form of a son, and his interview went very well, resulting in more sponsors.
SPECIAL NOTES: Nassor excelled on the intelligence exams given to all Tributes.
SCORE: 7
ODDS: 19:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Possible Victor
NOTES: I wanted to see you make something cool like Wiress.
DISTRICT NINE FEMALE: JEANIE CLAY
DESCRIPTION: What Jeanie lacked in training, she made up for in determination. She chose one of the more highly skilled sword sparring partners, and though she kept getting beaten back, she never stopped. She fought until she was dripping with sweat and bruised all over, only stopping when we called the match because we feared for her safety. During her training time, Jeanie learned about edible plants, supplementing her District knowledge.
SPECIAL NOTES: Minor illegal activity in Jeanie's past is not enough to take action.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 19:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Possible Victor
NOTES: Maybe finally Nine will have a Victor.
DISTRICT TEN MALE: HAYDEN ELLIS
DESCRIPTION: Hayden used a cleaver and did adequately well. His real strengths lie in his personality. A hard life in Panem has inured him to the pain of others, and Hayden looks our for himself first.
He is a practical survivor and looks for weaknesses to exploit. He is cunning and brutal in relationships. We suspect he may take Niko up on his plea for an alliance and use him as a shield. Niko is unlikely to get sponsors but likely to be able to live without them.
SPECIAL NOTES: None of import.
SCORE: 6
ODDS: 28:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Late death, few kills
NOTES: Ugh, I hope not.
DISTRICT TEN FEMALE: ETHEL BULHERA
DESCRIPTION: Ethel used camouflage and worked with edible plants. Her skills with camouflage were inspired and her skills with plants were adequate for most Arenas. Outside of the session, Ethel displays flightiness, a propensity to daydream, irresponsibility, and youthfulness. We are concerned that she may be taken advantage of or surprised by a more duplicitous Tribute, but this is limited by her lack of allies. She shows little physical aptitude for the Games and will be in great danger at the Bloodbath.
SPECIAL NOTES: Ethel has only tangential family living and is unlikely to get sponsors.
SCORE: 4
ODDS: 40:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: But how will she write that novel then? She'll either be dead or rich anyway.
DISTRICT ELEVEN MALE: JAYSON DABLE
DESCRIPTION: Jayson demonstrated a sword just to show that he could, but he preferred to lift weights. He could lift all the weights and showed this with great relish, hefting them and throwing them around the room with booming yells. His gregarious and fun personality will no doubt attract sponsors, as will his alliance to two young cute Tributes. Sadly, he lacks the intelligence and cruelty usually possessed by Victors.
SPECIAL NOTES: Nothing, really.
SCORE: 5
ODDS: 25:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Late death, no kills
NOTES: That was fun.
DISTRICT ELEVEN FEMALE: MAREN MCRAE
DESCRIPTION: Maren worked with edible plants, the agility course, and weaponry. She excelled at edible plants and performed adequately on the agility course. Her use of the weapons was geared more toward displaying her willingness to use them than toward her skill with them. Outside of the session, Maren shows an unfortunate tendency toward rebellion. Though it has not been dangerously pronounced so far, if it worsens in the Arena she may have to be eliminated.
SPECIAL NOTES: Only the aforementioned rebellion.
SCORE: 7
ODDS: 27:1 (adjusted for possibility of Gamemaker influence)
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Unlikely Victor, few kills
NOTES: The Arena brings out the worst in people. That might not end well.
DISTRICT TWELVE MALE: LAICAO DUST
DESCRIPTION: Laicao just wandered around the room occasionally staring suspiciously at us.
SPECIAL NOTES: Pyschologists and speech pathologists have determined that Laicao has been without human contact since somewhere around the age of eight. He does possess the capability for speech and is able to tolerate human contact in small doses if introduced slowly.
SCORE: 1
ODDS: 120:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: That was almost as weird as Shinju.
DISTRICT TWELVE FEMALE: YARA WARSAW
DESCRIPTION: Yara showed us edible plants and snares. She knew a few edible plants but will have difficulty in non-forested Arenas. Her use of snares was elementary and unlikely to catch anything larger than a rabbit. Outside the session, Yara is resourceful and mature. Her alliance, especially with Jayson, will aid her chances. Her greatest weakness is the most obvious. She is small and unable to fight nearly any of her opponents, and she will be a tempting target in the initital moments of the Games.
SPECIAL NOTES: Yara has developed a close friendship with Ally Tesla, and the two are likely to die together.
SCORE: 4
ODDS: 42:1
PREDICTED PLACEMENT: Bloodbath, no kills
NOTES: Hey, that's the same name as Calvary. It won't be a problem for long.

THEODORA HARP AND HARLEQUIN MARCEAU
I squished some categories together because it was tedious to type them out.
