HELLO! I know it has been over a month now, but all the after school things im in are all starting to end, so I should be getting back to writing. Im sorry it took so long, and this is only about half of the game makers sessions.
Artemus Levine D-1
Today was one of the most important days of the games. All of the twenty-four tributes would show what they have in front of the game makers and be judged on how well we did. Then that score, from one to twelve, would determine our sponsors, along with our interview.
I sat there for about fifteen minuets before they started calling us in. First went the boy, then the girl and in numerical order of the district. I'm first.
"Artemus Levine" they called over the speakers.
Before I got up I shot a angry look at my district partner, who wasn't a career. I then stood up and made my way to the room, where the game makers sat, and dined on fine foods as they watched us give it our all.
I stepped in and bowed, it is proper etiquette. I started at my weaker parts to warm them up. I made a fire in about five minuets, then I went to the hand to hand sparing. The man came forward. I took offense. First I faked him out and moved to the side and punched him in the side, the spun around and elbowed him in the spine and the gut punched him, after I spun around again. He was done. Next I called up another man and we sparred with swords. I started with my left hand and was only winning by a little. But, to trick him, I swiftly switched to my right hand and took him out in a matter of seconds. He didn't see it coming.
Then I went to the ranged section. I started with the spear, a classic career weapon, and started spearing the various moving targets. Once I showed them what I had with that I moved to the Bow and arrow. I did the same. Then I went to my strong point. Knives. I threw them flawlessly and demoed with them, until they told me my time was up. I feel I did well.
Vasilisa Keller D-1
When I heard my name I walked into the room and bowed. I started with four laps around the track, a mile. I finished in six minuets and thirty seconds. I went a little slower than usual so I still had energy to do other things. Then I did some laps in the pool at a fast pace.
Once I was done with the endurance, I grabbed a dagger and went to the stealth tester, and I killed my target on five different terrains. The beach was the easiest. Then I did a demo with my dagger, and then started to throw some knives around. I then displayed what I had learned in fire making and the edible plants section.
Next thing I knew, they called my name to leave.
Hades Pluto D-2
They called my name and I swiftly went to the game makers room. I didn't bother to bow. I picked up a scythe and gave a lengthy demo of my abilities. I jumped and spun around and destroyed a lot of dummies in a matter of seconds. I jammed the point of the scythe in there gut and split the open where there ribs would attach.
Once I showed all I could with the scythe I got a sword, and demoed with that. I didn't take as long, so that I would have time to throw a spear. I did a similar routine with the sword, then after I decapitated a couple of dummies, I started throwing a spear at dummies.
"Your time is up, you may leave."
I simply dropped my weapon and left, without looking back.
Maple Burns D-2
As head of the careers I needed a high score or the others would undermined me and possibly kill me off, which is not acceptable. I would risk injury to do well.
They called my name and I walked in, I bowed and went right to it. I started with a quick demo of me nailing things with a cross bow. Next, I did the same with the bow and arrow, I even hit a dummy in the head so hard, I decapitated it. Soon after that I picked up a dozen knives and threw them in the hearts of a dozen dummies. I'm doing well.
Next was my weaker parts, the parts I would risk my well being to do good with. I grabbed a spear and got lucky with nailing the dummy through the heart. I grabbed two more, and one went through a dummy's head and the other through its throat. I decided to end the spears on a high note. Then, I grabbed a light weight sword, but sharp, and started slashing things left and right and I jumped and spun in the air. I was on such an adrenaline rush that I jumped off a punching bag and did a flip in the air and cut one of my spears in half that was sticking through a dummy. I stuck the sword in a dummy and left it there, and went for a mace. I practiced a little bit with a mace on the third day, but I didn't get too far with it. This was a risk.
The mace was heavier than I remember, but that made me all the more powerful. I swung it through the air with both speed and control. I shocked myself. I decided to do another acrobatic type move and I slammed the mace in the ground, and flipped over the mace, like a cartwheel, and kicked where someones throat would be, all while still holding the mace's handle, and got on my feet and spun towards the judges. I could see the look of aw on their faces. I smiled and threw the mace at a dummy, and the spiked side hit the dummies chest.
I grabbed the sword I was using before and another one, that was very similar, and did a demo with those until they called my name to leave.
"Maple you may leave" The voice said. I threw the two swords at different dummies, both hitting the dummy's abdomen, and left with a smile on my face. I did extremely good. I guess I wont be a bad career leader after all.
Caspian Breeze D-4
I saw the district three girl walk out and I knew I was next.
"Caspian Breeze" The loud speaker called out.
I confidently walked into the room ready to give it my best. Here I go. I bowed and grabbed a spear. I speared the head of about six dummies then did a combat demo with one. Next I picked um my favorite weapon, the trident. I speared six moving targets in the heart, two in the stomach, and for three of them I threw the trident sideways so that it hit the target in the throat in three different places. Then, I went to a heavy, and sharp, sword with a golden handle. I did a demo, slashing up dummies, left and right, the called someone up to demo with me. I took him took the ground in about five minuets. Then I took a break from the combat, and showed how I could make fishing supplies out of practically anything. After I made everything, I went to the camouflage station and camouflaged the fishing materials I made, so they blended into a beach setting. Next I made a snare that would strangle a rodent or dangle a human. I made a sparring person go step into it to show that it worked. Then I camouflaged it in so it was practically invisible.
"Caspian, you may leave now."
Masara Cromwell D-4
I saw Caspian leave and I knew this was my chance to show what I got.
I stepped inside the room and gave a slight curtsy. I started calmly with snares. I made a human snare, that also worked on rodents, then camouflaged it so it was nearly invisible. Then, I went ballistic, with weapons. I grabbed a trident and used it for combat first, destroying things left and right, until I eventually threw into a light bulb. Then I grabbed a few more and thew them at dummies decapitating them. I then did the same, only a little less impressive, with a spear. Soon after that, I grabbed a light, but sharp sword and did an amazing demo with that.. Then I grabbed a bunch of knives and threw them at random things in the room, but in a way that still showed my skill with them.
I looked around before leaving, the place was a wreck.
Nora Leviax D-5
I stepped into the room and bowed, then I got down to business. I camouflaged myself into the ground and then ran some laps at a fast pace around the track, to show my speed and stamina. Then, I set some traps to catch both humans and animals, then made a fire to show I could cook the food. Then I did my weapons demo. I focused on knives, I threw them at numerous dummies, hitting them in the chest. Then I played around with a bow for a while until they called my name.
Alison Langston D-6
They called my name, so I swiftly entered the room and bowed. I picked up a knife and did a combat demo with it, both slashing and stabbing. Then I turned around and threw into a dummy. Then I did a stealth test in a forest setting and was able to kill the target with the knife. Soon after, I used a bow and shot some targets, relatively close to the center. Then I used my hands in a demo against a instructor and threw her to the ground, I may be weak, but I can sure take someone out.
Then, I showed them what I had learned in survival for the remaining minuets, and then, they called my name and dismissed me.
Videl Mason D-7
I was about to walk into the room filled with the men and women who were ready to judge me on how well I will be able survive in the man made death trap that is the arena.
I stepped into the room immediately after they called my name. I politely bowed, and took a deep breath to calm myself.
I started with my strength, axes. I picked one up and swung it around decapitating dummies, then, in mid air, I threw my ax into the heart of a moving dummy. I then grabbed some knives and threw them around, and then did a little melee with them. I gave myself a break, after the knives, and took an edible plants test. I did a little better than in training, a 19/35. After I caught my breath I grabbed a bow and arrow and shot some dummies. I usually hit either the stomach of the mummy or a limb.
I think I did well.
