PRIVATE GAMEMAKER SESSIONS
Sardonyx Greystone district one female
After a third day of intense training, Sardonyx was summoned for her private training sessions. She walked into a large room that appeared to be a mix of all the stations. As she did so, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous. The head game maker said something but she wasn't paying attention.
Sardonyx picked up an axe and started hacking away at the training dummies. She then grabbed a bow and arrow and fired at a target six times. The arrows all landed left and right of center. To finish, Sardonyx took a mace and smashed some targets. Sardonyx looked up at the game makers. They didn't seem to be paying much attention.
"Can I go now?", Sardonyx asked.
"Yes", the head gamemaker said glancing up from his food, "you are dismissed."
Latte Whip district one male
"Latte Whip please report for individual assessment", Latte heard Octavius say over the intercom.
"Good luck", Sardonyx told Latte as he walked into the room. He stood still for a moment, formulating a plan.
"You have ten minutes at the maximum to present your chosen skills", Octavius said. Seeing that there was no poison in the room, Latte picked up a spear, tested the weight and tossed it at a training dummy. The spear impaled it in the leg. He next picked up blow darts, and shot them at other training dummies.
Topaz Lancaster district two female
"Topaz Lancaster please report for individual assessment", Octavius said. Topaz walked into the private sessions room, and immediately grabbed a katana.
"I'd like someone to spar with!", Topaz called. Octavius nodded and clapped his hands. On cue, a door opened and a trainer holding a blunt sword dashed at Topaz. The trainer tried to lunge at Topaz but she parried the two lunges and disarmed the trainer. Slightly stunned, the trainer left the room. Next, Topaz called in more trainers to spar with and she defeated them all.
"Very good", Octavius said, "you are dismissed Topaz." She bowed and left the room.
Flaccus Thompson district two male
"Flaccus Thompson please report for private session", Octavius said. Feeling nervous, Flaccus entered the room. He picked up a spear and tossed it at a target. It hit the target dead center. He threw multiple times and got the same result. Then, Flaccus identified some edible and non edible berries. At least, he thought they were edible but some of them weren't.
Kendra Brant district three female
"Kendra Brant please report for private session", Octavius said.
"Remember Kendra, show them what you can do best." Thompson reminded her. Kendra nodded and walked into the training session room. She picked up a sheath full of knives and began tossing them at targets. Next, Kendra tried a trick shot by tossing a knife behind her back. That one missed entirely.
"You are dismissed", Octavius said.
Thompson Brant district three female
"Thompson Brant please report for private session", Octavius said. Thompson took a deep breath and began his training session. He decided to show the game makers how he can turn his surroundings into a weapon. Thompson began fashioning a club out of tree branches and dirt. He then smashed the club against targets which broke. Next, he picked up a bow and fired six arrows. Four of them hit the target but two missed.
Willow Jones district four female
Willow walked into the training session room and glared at Octavius. She couldn't even describe the hatred flowing through her at the moment it was so strong. Willow threw a trident at lightning speed which impaled a training dummy. While imagining the dummy's were Octavius Crane, Willow impaled every single one. Next, Willow demonstrated how to make a pitfall trap to easily maim or kill a tribute.
"Your ten minutes are up Willow Jones", Octavius said right as Willow finished, "you are dismissed." Willow walked out of the room.
Zale Decker district four male
For his training session, Zale decided to start demonstrate his skills in making a trap that would ensnare a tribute by both feet. Next, Zale walked over to the daggers lined up on the wall.
"I would like someone to spar with", Zale said. A trainer ran out of the door on the right wall and Zale began to duel her. Five minutes later, she was disarmed.
Oakley Woods district six male
Oakley walked into his training session and went straight to the snares section. He built a trap designed to leave a tribute dangling upside down by one foot. "I put on an en-snaring performance don't you think?" Oakley joked to the game makers. There was no answer.
"I said, I gave an en-snaring performance DONT YOU THINK!", Oakley yelled. Still, the game makers did not say anything. Yelling angrily, Oakley grabbed a sword and hacked away at training dummies to finish off his training session.
Appolon Niku district eight male
Appolon felt scared as he came into his training session but kept his head high and decided to try his best. He picked up a handful of throwing knives and tossed one at a target. The throwing knife missed. Appolon tossed five more training knives but two of them missed. Next, Appolon picked up a spear and threw it across the room. It flew reasonably far. Realizing that he still had some time left, Appolon threw some more knives before he had to leave.
Authors Note: Next time, the training scores!
