A/N: Private session report! If you can't/don't want to read the entire thing that's cool, I'd suggest at least reading over the observations for all the tributes though. Read as much or as little as you want though.
Note: The following is an official copy of the Private Session report for the one-hundred-second annual Hunger Games. Inside contains reports of the twenty-four tributes, including the skills they demonstrated during their session, their assumed strategy, any exceptionalities, their current odds, potential talking points for interviewer Coira Thompson, as well as general observations from Head Gamemaker Gaius Caracalla.
Note: Raw input score (RIS) is a score out of 5 that is based purely on the average performance of their top 3 skills they were assessed on during their private session. The training score is then calculated based on RIS, the usefulness of the abilities they displayed, as well as other factors that were observed during the 3 days of training.
TROY MAGNISON, 18, DISTRICT ONE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Troy was quick to showcase his weaponry talent. He began with the sword, then moved onto the battle-axe, and finished his session with a showcase of his skills in unarmed combat. In each of the three categories he handily defeated the trio of trainers he faced. He seemed to face no difficulty in doing so, and physically dominated each of his opponents.
STRATEGY: Troy has split off from the Career pack for reasons that seem to border somewhere close to religious beliefs. He intends on fighting both the opposing Career alliances at the bloodbath, and has every intention of dying there. His district partner has joined him in this mission, and as odd as the strategy is, with their combined ability, they might just leave the bloodbath the lone survivors.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Troy has unrivaled strength among the 24 tributes. He's a grown man among children, and in a fair fight no single person will come close to defeating him. He's quite dim, and appears to have brain damage from a TBI earlier in his life, though doctors have yet to confirm this.
ODDS: 1:7
RIS: 5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Troy is an explosive personality. He's incredibly loud, and surprisingly positive and kind. Give him someone to bounce off of, and he'll steal the show with his eccentric personality. Try to dig into his reasoning for volunteering, there's some interesting stuff there, and for someone so incredibly likely to emerge as victor, it would serve in our interests to know his reasoning before he enters the arena.
OBSERVATIONS: Troy is a force of positivity, strength, and energy that would make him a beloved and popular victor, and one far different from the quiet, reserved batch we currently have. Dimwitted, overly trusting, painfully naive and optimistic. Panem could use a victor like him right now.
VIVIAN OSTERA, 18, DISTRICT ONE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Vivian showcased their skills with a bow and arrow, seeing moderate to impressive skill. They also showcased their stealth and mobility, as well as their hand-to-hand combat skills, the former being impressive and the latter adequate.
STRATEGY: Vivian has broken off the main Career alliance and teamed up with Troy. They seem to have no sort of strategy or plan, aimlessly following their district partner despite him seemingly leading them to an early death at the bloodbath.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Vivian was hospitalized slightly over a year ago after being assaulted by their (at the time) significant other. They still have scars from the incident, and seem to be suffering psychologically from the traumatic event as well.
ODDS: 1:9
RIS: 4
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: They're not likely to open up, particularly about their past. If you want something to work with, your best bet is to focus on their alliance with Troy, their time in the Capitol, and their motivation to win the Games.
OBSERVATIONS: Vivian seems a fairly standard Career, but is anything but. They have that fire and determination that has been a marker of victors before, yet they have weaknesses that hold them back. Troy is a liability, and their past trauma may prove to cripple them in this specific arena. They could make a decent victor, if not for the string of District One victors we've had that we should be inclined to snap.
TALON OLYMPUS, 18, DISTRICT TWO
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Talon demonstrated admirable skill with the sword and bow, then showcased his athleticism by running the gauntlet at an impressive speed.
STRATEGY: Talon has broken away from District Four and started his own Career alliance, consisting of his district partner and a slew of impressive outliers. He has firm control of the alliance, and meticulously picked each member, though he didn't always get his first choice.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Talon has an incredibly rare condition known as Urbach-Wiethe disorder. He physically cannot feel fear.
ODDS: 1:6
RIS: 4.75
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Talon is intelligent, charming, and thoughtful. No matter how you tackle the interview he'll find a way to approach it in a way that will win over a fair share of sponsors to his cause. Maybe highlight his unlikely alliance and his sibling-like relationship with his district partner. Feel free to go wherever you like, though. Talon will be able to handle it.
OBSERVATIONS: If you were to design a victor from scratch, Talon would be the exact result. He's perfectly tailored for the Hunger Games, especially with this year's arena and the breakdown of the Career alliance. If I were a betting man, I would wager it all on Talon, and feel safe doing so. A loyal patriot and idealist, nobody would make a better victor for Panem than Talon Olympus.
LANA BIRKHEAD, 12, DISTRICT TWO
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Lana entered the virtual reality chamber and demonstrated her fighting skills with a pair of daggers. She dispatched of her opponents with impressive mobility and intelligence, and defeated the hardest difficulty opponents without ever coming close to danger.
STRATEGY: Lana has attached herself to her district partner's side, though it is hard to tell exactly what her plan is. She rarely speaks unless spoken to, and seems distrustful of everyone. Her strategy in the arena is anyone's guess.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Lana has no record to speak off, existing completely off the grid. Current working theory in the CDA is that she was adopted as an orphan by Birkhead Industries and has been trained since birth to be a perfect killing machine in order to win the Games. Why they would do this, and what would encourage them to send her in at the age of twelve, is as of yet unknown, though an investigation is ongoing.
ODDS: 1:10
RIS: 5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: She isn't mute, and seems to actually be quite intelligent, thoughtful, and well-spoken. You're just going to have to be direct and dig deep in order to get answers. STEER CLEAR AWAY FROM HER LIFE BEFORE THE GAMES. Focus on her time in the Capitol and her strategy for the Games.
OBSERVATIONS: This is an interesting case. We should have predicted that one of those unregulated industrial complexes would try something like this eventually. We'll make an example of Birkhead Industries, but that doesn't need to reflect on Lana. She's easily the most talented fighter in the arena, although her age will certainly hold her back. Her and Talon will be a peculiar pair to keep an eye on throughout the arena.
TY BALE, 16, DISTRICT THREE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Ty lifted some weights, ran the agility course, and tried the climbing wall, each to middling results. He did nothing overly impressive, yet didn't fail either.
STRATEGY: Ty has allied with his district partner Julie, and the two have developed a competitive yet seemingly close relationship.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Ty is a high-school dropout.
ODDS: 1:25
RIS: 2.5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Ty is a crowd-pleaser. He's charming, charismatic, and funny. Let him loose. He's also apparently a big fan of yours, so be prepared for him to maybe be a bit star-struck.
OBSERVATIONS: Ty is a star in the making, a personality the Capitol has already fallen in love with, and has enough talent to give him a fighting chance in the arena. If we don't have a Career victor this year, we could do far worse than Ty Bale. Keep an eye on him and Julie and keep them together, they're sure to provide plenty of entertainment as long as they stay together as a duo.
JULIE NOVUM, 14, DISTRICT THREE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Julie showed off some mediocre skills with a knife, decent agility, and astonishingly impressive climbing abilities.
STRATEGY: Julie has allied with her district partner, and has the full support of her estranged brother Dalton Faux, who is serving as her mentor.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Julie is the sister of victor Dalton Faux. She broke her hand recently, though it has healed just in time for the Games and judging by her climbing ability, is good as new.
ODDS: 1:49
RIS: 3
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Just like Ty, Julie a crowd-pleaser. Play off of her relationship with Dalton if you want, or just let her run wild. She's a fiery, electric personality that will be sure to win over the audience and have them cheering for the underdog.
OBSERVATIONS: It may not be too unlikely we get our second ever pair of victor siblings this year. Julie has the x-factor that we love to look for in outer district contenders. She has a fire and spirit that not many others do, and her climbing should allow her to maneuver the arena far more safely than any others. Keep her alive long enough and she could warrant tipping the odds in her favor for what would surely be a popular victor.
LOGAN HURT, 18, DISTRICT FOUR
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Logan demonstrated skill with swords, spear, and bow, all to the normal proficiency we expect of Careers.
STRATEGY: Logan has formed a Career alliance made up of outliers that he and Aphrodite chose seemingly randomly.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: His sister was killed under mysterious circumstances a few days prior to last year's reaping.
ODDS: 1:14
RIS: 4
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: He hasn't really shown us much since he got here. He's been quiet, and hasn't done anything of notable interest. Maybe dig into his sister's death to see if there's something interesting there, because otherwise he seems about as dull as they come.
OBSERVATIONS: District Four seems to be lacking good volunteers, we might consider pouring some money into their academies to keep them afloat. Logan demonstrates no notable skills, and lacks the interesting personality we've come to expect from Careers. Assuming he survives the bloodbath, he'll be an early target to test out our mutts this year.
APHRODITE SILVA, 18, DISTRICT FOUR
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Aphrodite demonstrated adequate skills with the bow, spear, and sword, at a near-identical level to her district partner.
STRATEGY: See Logan's section.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: N/A
ODDS: 1:11
RIS: 4
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Aphrodite has become one of the most popular tributes of this year's batch, and it's no surprise why, though her popularity has steadily dropped. Let her play her angle and strut her stuff, it's her only chance of keeping herself at the top of the rankings.
OBSERVATIONS: Aphrodite might be a decently strong dark horse if she were able to slip into the background of a large, strong Career pack. But with this year's strange Career situation forcing her to take charge of an alliance, she's been put in way over her head. Even if her alliance does survive the bloodbath, it'll splinter by the end of the second day. If Aphrodite doesn't have anything else hidden to offer, she'll fit in the same category as Logan: mutt fodder.
NIKOLA SURGE, 17, DISTRICT FIVE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Nikola starting his session by showcasing adequate fighting skills with a dagger. He also showcased decent speed, and an impressive command of trap making.
STRATEGY: Nikola has wormed his way into Talon's career alliance, despite District Two's initial hesitancy. He's quickly gained the trust of the other members, but Talon and Lana remain distant, and Nikola seems fearful of the duo. Nikola should be expected to exit the alliance early, likely attempting to sabotage or backstab his allies on the way out.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Nikola's father has recently been connected to an underground drug-smuggling and human-trafficking criminal syndicate, with his business as a front. Nikola works at HR at the business, and it's unclear if he knows of the business' true dealings.
ODDS: 1:24
RIS: 3.3
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Nikola puts on a charming facade, and can work his way through a conversation well. You should be fine. Maybe push him on his alliance and his father?
OBSERVATIONS: Nikola would make a solid outer-district victor. Strong, charming, independent when he needs to be, but able to play nice and work with allies while also keeping his distance. However, his alliance situation leaves much to be desired, and his father's criminal activity is a worrisome development. In such a stacked field of outer-district contenders, we can afford to lose him in the arena.
"RIVER", ~14?, DISTRICT FIVE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: "River" seemed to have little concept of the idea that she was being graded. She was goaded into showing off her talent with a bow, which was exemplary, then was excused.
STRATEGY: River has remained independent, actively avoiding others that have approached her, such as Talon Olympus and Marquise Clifton.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: See attached CDA file. Summary: outcast from a village nearby Five that somehow lived isolated from Panem for the last few hundred years. Age, name, family all unknown. She isn't mute, but she doesn't seem too interested in speaking to anyone either.
ODDS: 1:49
RIS: 4.75
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: She can talk, even if her grasp of spoken language is tenuous. This'll be a tough one, but you've faced worse interviewees. Perhaps speak to her about her home?
OBSERVATIONS: If you're looking for a dark horse victor, this is your bet. 1:49 odds is an absolute steal that any gambler should be leaping on. She's independent, a survivalist who's comfortable in nature, and seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to danger, all wrapped up with a talent with the bow challenging that of our previous year's victor Hailey Hills. Don't be surprised when you see her quietly surviving to make a deep run into the Games. Given our current state of victors, however, we might want to step in and ensure a more charismatic victor exits the arena.
JULIAN CLEMENT, 14, DISTRICT SIX
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Julian didn't seem to take his private session seriously, in much the same way he's treated all of training. He lazily threw some daggers with mediocre results, and then exited before his allotted time was complete.
STRATEGY: He's allied himself with many of the other weaker outliers, none of which possess any notable weapon skills. He doesn't seem to have much plan, and doesn't appear to be taking things seriously.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Julian tested positive for ADD in a Capitol examination.
ODDS: 1:99
RIS: 1
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: He's lazy, but a relatively funny and light-hearted kid. Crack some jokes with him and he'll open up.
OBSERVATIONS: Bloodbath fodder, just like the rest of his alliance.
EARHART ROBERTSON, 15, DISTRICT SIX
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Earhart presented some mediocre crafting skills, which seemed to be the only thing they were able to show.
STRATEGY: Earhart is a part of an alliance of weaker outliers. See Julian's section.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Earhart declined to appear for their screening, so we were unable to confirm any development issues or conditions that are suspected.
ODDS: 1:99
RIS: 1
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Earhart is a bit of a daydreamer, and tends to doze off of conversations. Work to ensure they stay in the moment and keep attention on you, it won't be easy.
OBSERVATIONS: See Julian's section.
VESA CARLISLE, 18, DISTRICT SEVEN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Vesa showed that he had nothing in his hands as he approached a dummy. He then pulled a knife out of his sleeve with impressive sleight of hand, and attacked the dummy with moderate skill.
STRATEGY: Vesa has joined the D4 career alliance, along with his district partner Juniper. He's somewhat of an outsider in the alliance, and if he has any strategy beyond sticking with his alliance, he isn't showing it.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Vesa has trained for the past year after being coerced by Peacekeepers to volunteer following a robbery of the Peacekeeper storage.
ODDS: 1:19
RIS: 4
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Avoid the whole training debacle, in fact, avoid his whole life back in District Seven just to be safe. Focus on his time in the Capitol and his alliance, and try to get out of him what his plans for the arena are.
OBSERVATIONS: A criminal who robbed from Peacekeepers isn't going to be allowed to win. That being said, a trained outlier makes for good drama, so keep him around for a bit. Let the mutts take him out at the later stages if he stays around for too long.
JUNIPER LOURDES, 16, DISTRICT SEVEN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Juniper had a standard private session. She showcased respectable climbing skills, basic hand to hand combat talent, and impressive plant identification.
STRATEGY: In an alliance where everyone appears to think they're playing everyone else, Juniper seems to be the top dog of the D4 career alliance. What she intends to do with her successful manipulation remains to be seen.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: N/A
ODDS: 1:23
RIS: 2.5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Juniper is charming, intelligent, and well-spoken. Let her take over the interview and she'll have Panem falling in love with her.
OBSERVATIONS: Juniper will be a favorite undoubtedly, and someone as well-spoken and adored as her would make an excellent victor. She should thrive in this year's arena, and will be just as fierce a contender as any outlier.
UDON CHANG, 16, DISTRICT EIGHT
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Udon made a makeshift nail bomb with crafting supplies, upon safe detonation afterwards it produced a fairly powerful explosion that would be able to kill a tribute or mutt in close proximity.
STRATEGY: Udon is currently a part of the D4 career alliance, but seems to be considering joining the D2 career alliance instead. Either way, he seems content with the idea of abandoning either alliance after the bloodbath.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: His father is the mayor back in D8. The man is currently being investigated for corruption.
ODDS: 1:24
RIS: 4
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: He's vulgar and stand-offish, and lacks any sort of charm, but he's a clever enough kid. Try to butter him up and you might avoid him cussing you out the entire time.
OBSERVATIONS: Udon would be a strong contender for victor if his personality weren't so brash and unlikable. As it stands, he'll likely be the first to get a knife in his back when the career pack falls apart.
INESA HUGO, 18, DISTRICT EIGHT
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Inesa showed decent skill with a knife, then went on to show herself to be capable at the agility course and scavenging station.
STRATEGY: Inesa is attempting to manipulate Udon and the rest of the D4 career pack, and seems to be doing a decent job of it, though Juniper seems to have a lead on her.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: N/A
ODDS: 1:49
RIS: 2.5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Inesa has a solid grasp on the Career alliance, and seems to know how to manipulate an audience. Ask her about how she ended up with the Careers so early on.
OBSERVATIONS: There's a lot of manipulative tributes this year, and Inesa doesn't seem to have the extra ability to give her the edge over the competition. Perhaps she'll prove us wrong in the arena.
ARNOLD SMITT, 18, DISTRICT NINE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Arkus entered the room, loudly declared himself to be immortal, then exited the room.
STRATEGY: He's allied himself with the D4 career alliance, albeit tentatively. What he does in the Games is anyone's guess.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Arnold has an offshoot of Cotard Delusion, though instead of believing himself to already be dead, he believes himself to be immortal.
ODDS: 1:49
RIS: 0
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Good luck.
OBSERVATIONS: He could be a pretty solid contender if he weren't such an idiot.
MAYA HOOVER, 18, DISTRICT NINE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Maya showcased decent talent with a knife, and moderate ability with scavenging and crafting.
STRATEGY: Maya has allied with the D2 career alliance, and seems closest to Talon and Lana out of any of the outsiders.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: N/A
ODDS: 1:39
RIS: 3
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Maya is witty and loves to speak, she should provide an interesting interview. Make sure to bring up her alliance with Talon.
OBSERVATIONS: Maya is a solid dark horse candidate, though her choice of allies makes victory difficult, as it's doubtful she outlasts the D2 duo. If she manages to separate herself before the end-game, however, perhaps with some mutt help, you could find less likely dark horse choices.
JAMIE CURIE, 12, DISTRICT TEN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Jamie was incredibly cordial and respectful during his session, in which he presented moderate scavenging and crafting ability.
STRATEGY: Jamie has allied with a few other weak outliers, all of whom seem determined to protect him.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Jamie saved the life of a Peacekeeper when his apothecary parents were out of town, and is generally beloved by the District Ten community.
ODDS: 1:99
RIS: 2
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: He's a sweetheart, and the Capitol already loves him. Highlight how good of a kid he is. Kid's a hero and a patriot, make sure everyone sees him as such.
OBSERVATIONS: It's a shame he was reaped, it's rare we see such a loyal patriot and kind citizen. He would have gone far in life, but sadly in the Games he's beyond a long shot.
PERSEPHONE SASKIA, 16, DISTRICT TEN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Persephone demonstrated her ability with axes on dummies, which was moderate, though she refused to spar with trainers.
STRATEGY: Persephone has isolated herself from others, completely distancing herself from all other tributes.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: See classified CDA document. Summary: parents were murdered by Peacekeeper raid, Persephone possibly subject to sexual assault, though this is still under investigation.
ODDS: 1:49
RIS: 2.5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Persephone is closed off, especially about her past, but she's relatively determined to win. Focus on that aspect, her motivation and desire to come out as victor.
OBSERVATIONS: Persephone will struggle in this year's arena, which is a shame, because otherwise she could have been a good underdog victor. As it stands, death at the bloodbath might be the best thing that can happen to her.
MARQUISE CLIFTON, 18, DISTRICT ELEVEN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Marquise was calm and cordial the entire private session. He explained his fighting philosophy, and then sparred with a trainer, easily disarming and subduing multiple expert trainers, and showing extreme talent with a bo staff.
STRATEGY: Marquise is going solo, and intends to wander the arena, helping those that need assistance.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: There's a lot. See attached CDA files. Summary: Marquise belonged to a wealthy plantation family, though an uprising saw his entire family brutally murdered, including his younger sisters. He was crucified and left to die, though he miraculously survived. Since then he's gone off the grid, apparently wandering the district.
ODDS: 1:12
RIS: 4.5
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Marquise is soft-spoken and mature, and should handle the interview fine. He's a fascinating young man, and well-spoken at that, get him to tell his story and we should have a crowd favorite.
OBSERVATIONS: Marquise is one of the most moral tributes we've ever seen, despite a truly dark past. His altruism will most likely be the end of him in the arena, but he has enough talent to emerge victorious, and he would make an intriguing victor.
CIERA OCUSSIA, 18, DISTRICT ELEVEN
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Ciera showcased her impressive memory, as well as her equally impressive trap-making and shelter-creation ability.
STRATEGY: Ciera seems conflicted on whether to join the D2 career alliance or stick with the group of weak outliers.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: N/A
ODDS: 1:29
RIS: 3
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: Like many others, she's charming and intelligent, and should be able to handle any interview questions deftly. Push her on her choice of alliance, there should be some good drama there.
OBSERVATIONS: Ciera is another of our dark-horse contenders, though that potential hinges entirely on which alliance she chooses to join. She may enjoy the company of Denver, but that alliance is a lost cause, while the D2 career pack is the strongest in the arena. Winning the Games requires making difficult choices for one's survival, and her first test has already been given.
DENVER LYON, 18, DISTRICT TWELVE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Denver was amiable and cracked self-deprecating jokes throughout his private session. He showcased impressive skills at numerous survival stations, though he announced his refusal to use a weapon as a self-proclaimed pacifist.
STRATEGY: Denver has allied with the aforementioned outer-district alliance of underdogs.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Denver is a student at Pioneer University in the Capitol, where he is widely beloved by the community and is a star student. He was going to be spending the summer as a research assistant for a Nature-Gamemaker, specifically our Cordyceps expert. That knowledge may come in handy during the Games.
ODDS: 1:149
RIS: 3
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: He's already a star in the Capitol's eyes, let him shine.
OBSERVATIONS: It's a shame, really, and represents a flaw in our current reaping system. People will be upset about his death, and it would be beneficial if we could somehow make him victor, particularly considering the unrest that is still hanging over from Prestige's defeat last year. However, a pacifist will have a tough time emerging victorious in this year's arena. What a waste.
SPARROW KALANI, 12, DISTRICT TWELVE
PRIVATE SESSION REPORT: Sparrow was quiet and focused during her private session, during which she showed surprisingly impressive survival skills and memorization.
STRATEGY: Sparrow has decided not to ally herself with the outlier group that her district partner is leading, and is instead going solo, an interesting choice for someone with no weapon skills and minimal sponsor attention.
EXCEPTIONALITIES: Sparrow seems to have low latent inhibition or some degree of autism, though further testing would be required.
ODDS: 1:99
RIS: 3
NOTES TO INTERVIEWER: She's quiet and shy, but observant, clever, and surprisingly competent and thoughtful. Dig deep and you might be able to make people remember the girl who has thus far gone unnoticed.
OBSERVATIONS: It's a shame she's gone under the radar, because she really is a talented and bright young girl. Sadly, that isn't enough to win the Games, and her lack of an alliance will make surviving the mutts a gargantuan task.
CLOSING NOTES
It's an interesting batch of tributes this year. With the splintered career packs, we have more potential victors than any year in recent memory. There's a dozen tributes that would make fine victors, and half of those would be phenomenal victors - victors that Panem is desperately in need of at the moment. I'm not normally one for suggesting a rigging of the Games in certain tributes favor, but with the current state of our nation we're in dire need of an inspiring and unifying victor. Troy Magnison, Talon Olympus, Ty Bale, Julie Novum, Jamie Curie, Marquise Clifton, and Denver Lyon are all phenomenal choices that could help our country to heal in the trying years to come.
It is my humble suggestion that we do what it takes to ensure Panem remains as it always has been, and always must be: unified, and strong.
Sincerely,
Head Gamemaker Gaius Caracalla
