Private Gamemaker Sessions
Torrack Warsaw, 27, Head Gamemaker
It was time for us to see how good or bad the tributes were this year. Today was the day that sorta told me whether I would have a job the next year. I hoped they were mostly good. From what I heard, they should be. My fellow Gamemakers and I were seated in a balcony above all the different stations, with myself in the center.
"Eagle Rose."
He walked in and requested a trainer to spar with. Quickly, within seconds he disarmed the trainer. Then he used the rest of his time up by throwing knives and spears at targets and dummies. It was quite impressive. I'd give him a 9.
"Sadie Daylock."
She ran the obstacle course extremely fast, then sparred with a trainer. It was pretty good. The Careers seemed good so far. I would give her an 8.
"Ajax Romero."
Ajax walked into the room confidently. He sparred with a trainer, knocked the trainer's sword to the ground, then Ajax held his sword to the trainer's throat. This showed that he wouldn't hesitate to kill. Then he ran the obstacle course, even faster than Sadie did. The bell rang, signaling his time was up. I'd give him a 10.
"Darwin Loncar."
They sparred with the trainer, just like Ajax, but they couldn't seem to disarm him. So they gave up and went over to the archery station, and shot arrows, missing only a few times. A 6.
"Jollin Kraser."
A short boy walked in, looking nervous. He showed us how he could set fires, and took the plant identification test, which he scored 100% on. It was impressive, most people couldn't do that. A 5.
"Bug Lumen."
She walked in, set a few seriously deadly traps, then ran around the track for the rest of her time. She was fast but...a 4.
"Blaze Coil."
Blaze swaggered in. He sparred with a trainer, but he faltered and the trainer managed to get in a 'killing' blow. Blaze growled, then got up and slaughtered a bunch of dummies with his sword. A 7.
"Serena Waters."
She walked in, smiled at us, then absolutely destroyed the trainer with her sword. Then she moved to the archery station, hit every single target dead center, then went back and did it again. And to top all that off, she ran the obstacle course faster than everyone. Best one yet. Definitely an 11.
"Marvlo Atkinson."
Another tiny boy came in, again looking nervous. He picked up a bunch of throwing knives, then threw them. All of them hit the dummy, working its way up the body in a perfectly straight line, ending where the heart would be. Wow. I did not expect that. At all. Probably worth a 7.
"Emalynn Coria."
A girl with long blonde hair and only one hand came in. She requested a trainer to spar with, and she chose a dagger. The trainer attacked first, but she parried and quickly disarmed him. Then she set the dagger down gingerly and took the plant identification test, scoring an 85. Pretty good. An 8, because she only had one hand and still managed that.
"Aston Axle."
A boy, obviously addicted to morphine walked in. He ran the obstacle course, quite slowly. A 3.
"Finleigh Marrone."
She painted herself the same color as the floor, so well that we barely could see her. A 4
"Briar Dogwood."
He climbed the hardest climbing wall we had, and he did it fast. A 7.
"Raylie Hatchet."
She made several deadly traps, and demonstrated how deadly they were with the dummies we had lying around. I'd give her a 6.
"Flax Burton."
He sparred with a trainer and knocked him unconscious. Then tried to charge us. Worth a 7.
"Stitch Wilson."
She climbed the middle climbing wall, and made it up in the ten minutes given. A 5.
"Lennox Thorn."
He set the entire place on fire. Literally. We had to replace everything before the next person could go. A 2.
"Barley Kleid."
She took the plant test, scored a 72, then ran around the track. Probably about a mile. A 4.
"Falco Gael."
He used a bow and arrow and shot all the dummies through the most deadly places. A 7.
"Shey Nox."
She scored the second 100 on the plant test, then sparred with knives, disarming the trainer. The pair from 10 were looking good this year. Another 7.
"Cobalt Roots."
He went straight for the scythe, then decimated all the dummies with amazing technique. It showed skill. An 8.
"Lilac Amrin."
She attempted to climb the easiest wall, and she failed. A 2.
"Ellis Wilker."
He spent the entire time tying immensely difficult knots. A 4.
"Liva Mentris."
She used a pickaxe to 'kill' all the dummies. Probably around a 6 or 7.
So, the tributes this year were pretty good. I think I'd be keeping my job. That was a relief. I couldn't wait for them to find out the special surprise we had in store for them. That was going to be fun to watch.
