Maine Calicus, District 10 Female, 16 -

The tributes were sitting in the lunchroom, mostly silent, waiting to be called in for their private training session. The District 4 female had just been called in. Beau, Maine, and Zara were all sitting at the same table, so they were some of the select few who weren't quiet.

"Ask her," Beau said, nudging Maine.

"Fine," she said, rolling her eyes.

Maine awkwardly walked across the room, attracting many, stares, over to the girl they had decided to invite into their alliance. She was sitting with her District partner, but they clearly weren't allies.

The girl looked surprised when Maine sat across from her.

"Hey, we were wondering if you wanted to be in our alliance?" Maine asked, very aware of the fact that everyone else was listening in.

The girl's eyes widened.

"Really? Who else is in your alliance?"

"My District partner, Beau, and the girl from District 11, Zara. I'm Maine from District 10, by the way," Maine responded.

"Uh… okay!" the girl decided. "My name is Polly."

"Do you want to sit with us?"

"Sure!" Polly said and joined the rest of her alliance at their table.


Danny Seaworth, District 4 Male, 18 -

"Danny Seaworth, enter the gym and begin your training session," a voice said over the intercom.

Danny stood up, glancing at everyone else who remained seated. They all watched as he made his way over to the doors, and slipped into the training center.

Gamemakers sat from a viewing booth at the top, looking down at Danny as he entered. Danny stopped in front of them, and waited expectantly.

"You may begin," one of them said.

Danny looked around - he hadn't given much thought to what he would do. He could show off with a trident - he was pretty good with those. But he knew what would happen if he threw a trident - he'd get a decent score.

But what would happen if he just left?

Danny didn't know, but he wanted to find out.

Without doing anything else, Danny turned on his heel and exited the training gym.


Maximus Lorde, District 6 Male, 18 -

"You may begin," one of the Gamemakers said.

Max knew exactly what to do. He had lifted weights for years and had experience with it.

He immediately ran over to the weights and made sure the Gamemakers were watching before lifting one of the heaviest.

Max could feel the strain in his biceps, but he lifted the weight off the ground. He glanced at the Gamemakers again to see if they were impressed. They were nodding, but didn't look stunned.

After a few reps, Max placed the weights back on the ground. He checked his time and saw that he still had several minutes left.

To finish his private training session, Max jogged over to the swords. He grabbed one of the largest and began hacking the dummy to bits, just like he had done to get into the Careers.

When the dummy lay in tatters on the floor, Max looked up at the Gamemakers again. They looked stunned, this time - the reaction he had been going for.

"You may go," one of them said, and Max began walking over to the elevator, smirking.

He had this in the bag.


Luna Osgood, District 5 Female, 18 -

Luna and Sawyer sat on the couch, watching to see their training score. The Master of Ceremonies, Evandrus Dictine, had just announced the scores would be revealed after the commercial break.

The commercial wrapped up, and Evandrus was back, his white smile blinding all Panem.

"Welcome back to the scores! First, we have District 1.

"Alina Michelle with a score of 10!

"Lucius Malicray with a score of 8!

"Beatrix Xenith with a score of 10!

"Orcus Samuels with a score of 9!

"Brea Schofield with a score of 5!

"Laurence Alexei with a score of 4!

"Brooke Cascade with a score of 7!

"Danny Seaworth with a score of 1!

"Luna Osgood with a score of 2!"

Luna cringed the moment she saw the 2 flashing on the screen. She knew she wouldn't get high - her attempt to build a fire had failed, and she ended the session in tears. But the 2 was still painful to look at.

"Sawyer Cashiel with a score of 5!"

Sawyer looked disappointed, but anything was good next to Luna's 2.


Thorn Weaver, District 11 Male, 15 -

"Victoria Ribbons with a score of 5!

"Maximus Lorde with a score of 9!

"Holly Amberson with a score of 8!

"Pine Chillance with a score of 5!

"Polly Shadows with a score of 4!

"Damien Zaste with a score of 2!

"Bella Vintaire with a score of 8!

"Bran Torrance with a score of 9!

"Maine Calicus with a score of 4!

"Beau Lewis with a score of 9!

"Zara Benedict with a score of 6!"

Zara looked satisfied with her score. She was patted on the back by Bacchus.

"Thorn Weaver with a score of 6!"

Thorn smiled proudly at the 6 - he had tied with his District partner. Thorn was glad that his score was decent, even though all he had done was shown his speed and climbing ability. Maybe those things were important, despite what Bacchus said.


Gaia Chambers, District 12 Female, 16 -

"Gaia Chambers with a score of 5!"

Gaia frowned when she saw the 5, but it was as good as she expected. She didn't think she'd get a great score anyway.

"Kurt Aladance with a score of 3!"

Kurt looked down in shame as Evandrus wrapped up the show.

At least she did better than Kurt.


I hope you were satisfied with your tribute's score!
