Zananova "Zan" Pixa,13, District 3 female
I cackle to myself as I flip a page in my book, yes this is exactly what I'm going to do to my two 'allies' especially that obnoxious boy. It's still early in the morning as I'm sitting on the living room sofa, I doubt anyone is up yet and I'll enjoy the peace while I can. The idea of even being in an alliance sickens me. No one comprehends me, they'll just get in my damn way and ruin my plans. Maybe if Lysta was a bit more 'cold' we'll get along but no, she's soft. She doesn't want to advance her knowledge of chemistry by experimenting on humans. Still though, she's skilled and I don't like competition so after I finish off my two 'allies', she'll be next. That's right, I have quite the surprise planned for those two morons and the only reason why I'm allowing them to get so close to me is so I can have easy access to them when I'm ready to experiment. I just can't wait to hear their screams, to see their blood seeping out their fresh wounds, to see fear freeze in their face as they take their last breathes! I begin cackling again as I kick my small feet that won't even reach the floor.
"Oh I thought I heard giggling, that's quite the creepy thing to wake up to in the morning." Maige nonchalantly states as she arrives in the living room.
"It takes about 10 seconds to die from a severed carotid artery, would you like me to demonstrate?" I look away from my book asking her and she gives me a disturbed look.
"Creepy child." She mumbles as she leaves and I cackle even more as I continue my book. I want to kill the obnoxious boy quickly, but Sariah, she thinks this is just some kind of fantasy adventure. Oh I want her to just slowly realize she's in a nightmare with no way to escape. As I slowly disect her body and torture her to death, she'll realize that. She'll beg me to end it, but no I'll prolong it aslong as I can just to see all of that optimism and stupidity leave her and is replaced by fear, pain and hopelessness, I cannot wait!
"Good morning." Luther greets me before sitting at the dining table but I just ignore him as I flip another page in my book. Xavarion arrives out here shortly after and lets out a stretch and greets Luther before sitting on the small chair that he can barley fit on.
"Private sessions are today, what you got planned?" I hear Luther ask Xavarion.
"Ah I'll probably just do some light sparring, nothing too heavy." He answers as breakfast is brought out, I don't see any roasted apple slices over there, so I'm not interested.
"Not bad, what about you Zan?" Luther asks me.
"Your kidneys are the slowest deteriorating organ after death." Inform him and I only receive silence in response. Private sessions are today though and I think about what I can possibly do. It's just too bad I can't experiment on anyone for my private sessions, but maybe I can recreate the trap I used to kill those two brothers. I figure it's time to head down stairs now, so I close my book, hop off the couch and proceed towards the exit.
"Welp looks like it's about that time, see you guys later!" Xavarion waves at Luther as he gets up from the tiny chair. Why is he following me? He wasn't even thinking about leaving before he saw me get up. I start skipping towards the elevator as I hum a tune and I can hear Xavi's thundering footsteps behind me as it feels like he's trying to catch up with but I press the elevator and wait for it to arrive.
"Hey, Zananova." Xavarion calls to me and I give him an annoyed look.
"Whatever you have planned for that girl, you should at least have the courtesy to let her know what she's walking into, she thinks you're her friend." He calmly explains to me. Yes I am going to kill her and whether she knew that or not is on her.
The elevator door then suddenly opens and the two careers from district 4 are standing in there. The male Barbel is glaring him intensely.
"You should worry about your own problems." I give him a sarcastic smile as I skip Into the elevator and Xavarion and Barbel are only glaring at each other while I rock my head back and forth and hum a tune while Vendetta is only calmly leaning against the wall.
"Last day of training, you should make the most out of it. I do want to have to try after all." Barbel suddenly tells Xavarion as they continue looking at each other.
"You won't be disappointed." He sternly tells Barbel not looking away from him and Barbel lets out a dark chuckle.
"We'll see about that." He states as the elevator door opens and he walks out of it as Vendetta follows him not saying anything. Xavarion has a tense look on his face as he balls his fists.
"When you experience fear, blood flows away from your heart and into your limbs so you can throw punches or run away easier." I Inform him but he gives me annoyed look before leaving the elevator as well. He seems awfully quiet now, it's amazing what fear can do to you, I just can't wait to see the looks of fear on my two 'allies'.
Percival "Percy" Klein,17, District 8 Male
"Hey everyone! How's everyone doing!?" I shout as I continue running laps around the training facility passing by multiple tributes and nearly bump into Mercedes as she lets out a very girly scream.
"Oh sorry about that! So sorry! Do you accept my apology? Huh?" I shout as she's now far away from me.
"Nooooooo!" I hear her whine in the distance and I laugh. Anyways today's the last day of training, like totally the last day of training and I need to find an alliance, like any alliance will be cool like really cool! Are you listening?
I run by the weapon stations where most of the tributes are as they do their last minute training. Most of the careers are close to each other and training together, Victoria is away from them teaching Emmett how to throw a knife but the girl from district 9 Winter is standing directly behind the rest of the careers watching them train. I need an ally though! A super cool ally! I run to the heavy weapon station where i see Lykrie trying to teach Thomas how to use an axe but he's having trouble as his face is flush and full of sweat as he struggles to swing it.
"Hey you two! Hi! Answer me c'mon!" I jog in place in front of Lykrie and Thomas.
"H-" Lykrie begins to greet me .
"Hi!" I cut her off still jogging in place.
"H-" she begins again.
"Hi!" I cut her off again and she starts looking annoyed.
"You're annoying." She bluntly states.
"I know I know, it's super cool isn't it? Anyways I want to be in an alliance, a really cool one and you guys look really, really cool!" I quickly tell them and Lykrie looks a little confused.
"You talk way too fast, slow down a little but what do you think Tom, want another ally?" Lykrie asks Tom as I continue jogging in place and start doing jumping jacks.
"Hmm, well what are you good at?" Tom or Thomas whatever his name is narrows his eyes at me.
"Running, running, like a lot of running!" I shout as I start jogging in place.
"You just know how to run? That's it?" He seems disappointed.
"Could be useful actually. He can help scavenge supplies." Lykrie states.
"Hmm, well good point. Yeah I guess you can join us then, I'm Thomas, call me Tom though." Tom extends his hand.
"Percy! Yeah Percy, so nice to meet you like super nice to meet you!" I quickly say as i roughly shake his hand yanking it up and down.
"Ouch what the hell man!" Tom scolds me.
"Sorry, sorry like super sorry! What about you? What's your name? Huh? Huh? You going to answer me?" I quickly ask Lykrie. I already know her name of course.
"Lykrie, shake my hand like that though and I'll punch you in the mouth." She warns me before extending her hand. Ouch that'll hurt! I don't want her punching me. I shake her hand as gently as possible as I jog in place.
"Yes! Were allies! I'm in an alliance! That's so cool like super cool!" I jump up happily.
"Yeah now what weapons are you good with? I'm teaching Tom to use an axe so if you want to join, feel free to do so." Lykrie states.
"I know how to use a trident, but teach me how to use an axe too, it'll be so cool like super cool!" I jump up and down happily.
"Alright then." She answers as she turns back around to help Thomas with the axe. This is going to be so cool like really cool!
Winter Baromet,13, District 9 female
"Arrgh arrgh arrgh!." Barbel lets out battle cries as he's intensely landing his throwing axes into dozens of moving holograms at the simulator with near perfect accuracy. He seems real fired up for some reason. Anyways I've been analyzing the careers, they don't seem to mind me being around though, infact I think they work even harder when I'm watching them, probably to try and intimidate me or show off. Thing's still went In my favor as I'm starting to note their techniques and tendencies.
Teddy cockily throws a spear right through the head of a dummy and turns to me as he gives me a cocky grin and walks up to me.
"Hey, see you've been watching us for a while, are you impressed?" Teddy wipes a little bit of sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah, watching myself do these things is pretty impressive." I smile at him but he only gives me a confused look.
"What?" he looks at me with the same confused look and I let out a sigh as I smirk a bit, it's that time again.
"I meant watching you guys do these things is pretty impressive." I smirk feeling pretty embarrassed.
"Oh, well that makes much more sense. Teddy Trismegistus by the way." He extends his hand.
"Winter Baromet, nice to meet me." I shake his hand and he smirks as I let out another sigh and playfully roll my eyes. Oh my goodness, this seems to happen way more now that I'm talking to a boy around my age.
"I'll just assume you meant to say nice to meet you." He laughs as we shake hands. He's young but his hands are so rough, I can tell he must train almost nonstop.
"Yeah that's what I meant to say haha, what other kind of weapons are you good with?" I ask.
"Well there's not much I'm not good with, I'm really good with swords I can use a bow too but I don't really prefer that." He cockily say.
"Hmm, how about a slingshot?" I question.
"Yeah, those are easy as hell to use." He answers in that same cocky tone.
"Oh is it, you feel like backing up all that talk?" I grin at him.
"Oh please, this'll be a piece of cake! He walks to the brackets and grabs a slingshot, good this is all going to plan. He walks back next to me and immediately aims the slingshot at a dummy and I take note of his stance and the technique he's using. He releases the pellet in between the slingshot and it shoots right into the skull of the dummy. He shoots another round into it's head but the third lands a little lower in the torso.
"Ah close enough, why don't you try?" He hands the slingshot to me. The slingshot is my preferred weapon. I tried training with it a bit and don't consider myself too bad but I want to see how the careers handles this sort of weapon so I can learn the techniques they use.
"Yeah, sure." I smile as i take the slingshot and try to remember Teddy's technique and shoot a shot but it misses the head by only a few centimeters.
You're a lefty right?" Teddy asks.
"Y-yeah how you know?" I ask.
"I just happen to have a keen eye for these sort of things, hold the grip with your left hand, aim with your right." He suggests and I do exactly that before firing another shot and it lands in the dummy's eye.
"Whoa!" I'm surprised his advice is so helpful.
"Yeah see? Not too bad right? Just don't shoot my eye out in the arena" Teddy jokes and I laugh.
"I don't plan on." I laugh.
"Good to know, well keep practicing. I'll be at the obstacle course!" Teddy waves me goodbye.
"Ok and thank you Teddy!" I thank him as he only gives me a thumbs up.
I fire another round and it lands in it's neck, not bad I guess. I look over at Fall who's at the sword station practicing with a sword. That guy from district 6 Vladimir is standing several feet behind him though with a sadistic grin on his face. He definitely looks like he's up to no good.
"Hey Fall." I walk over to Fall ignoring Vladimir and Fall gives me a smile.
"Hey what's up, I'm getting better with this sword huh?" he confidently say as he slashes a dummy across the chest.
"Yeah you're getting better." I smirk.
"Ha, what about you though? What you been up to?" Fall asks still striking the dummy.
"Been practicing with my slingshot, I'm getting a little better." I state.
"Heh, that's good Winter!" Fall congratulates me but I hear Vladimir behind us laughing and Fall immediately turns around as he drops his sword.
"Something funny?" Fall immediately asks. Oh no, I really don't want fall messing with this guy, he's seems pretty strong and is creepy as hell.
"Oh, just looking at you swinging that sword like a little bitch is quite amusing." Vladimir continues his sinister laugh.
"What the hell you just said?" Fall gets closer to Vladimir.
"Hey Fall, let's just go somewhere else." I try to diffuse this before it escalates but Fall doesn't seem to hear me.
"Did I stutter little bitch?" Vladimir suddenly smacks Fall across the face and the sound of the smack rings out across the entire facility and Fall stumbles back as I gasp and rush at Vladimir.
"What the hell!" I shout as I prepare to attack Vladimir but he quickly smacks me across the face and I shriek in pain as I fall to my knees.
"Arrrgh!" Fall angrily charges at Vladimir and tries to take him down but Vladimir barley budges and quickly overpowers Fall as he lifts him up and slams him on the floor before punching him in the nose twice and I can already see blood spurting from his nose.
"Stop!" I cry as I rush at Vladimir but two instructors suddenly begin pulling Vladimir off of Fall but he begins overpowering them before two more instructors grabs him and the four of them forcibly pull him out of the facility as he curses at me and Fall.
"Fall!" I cry and hug him as he's sitting up wiping blood from his nose.
"it's ok, I'm alright Winter." He tries to console me but I see two more instructors walking towards us.
"No! Get away! Get away!" I yell at them as I continue hugging him sobbing.
"Ma'am it's ok, were going to help him, take him to the medical center to get him treated." One of the instructors informs me.
"Winter it's ok just let me go with them." He tries to assure me.
"I'm coming too!" I sternly tell them as i sniff.
"That's fine Ma'am." The other instructor tells me.
"Heh, wouldn't have it any other way!" Fall smiles at me as I help him up and the instructors begin to escort us out of the facility. That monster though, I swear if he ever touches me or my brother like that again, I'll kill him!
Thomas "Tom" Powell,18, District 5 male
I sit a plate of sponge cake down on the table as Lykrie only gives me an odd look and Percy is annoyingly tapping his feet on the cafeteria floor.
"That's all you're eating, cake?" she asks.
"Ha, yeah I had this at my best friend's wedding and just fell in love with it ever since." I comment as I take a forkful of the cake and the fluffy sweet cake instantly melts in my mouth, wow this is even better than the one at the wedding!
"Cute, now that we're all here though we need a strategy for the arena, can you stop tapping for your foot please it is so damn annoying." Lykrie faces Percy and he groans before he starts tapping his fork against his tray and Lykrie sighs.
"What kind of strategy you have in mind?" I ask trying to ignore the noise Percy is making.
"Now you just focus on mapping out a route for us to take. When the games start Percy you're going to scavenge for supplies, grab supplies and I'll cover you and keep any tributes off of you. Once we do that, Tom we'll meet up with you and run off. This has to be done quickly though, the careers are almost certainly going to try and secure the cornucopia so they can have most of the supplies.
"Shouldn't I join the cornucopia too, to help Percy?" I suggest.
"You're our only medic, we can't risk anything happening to you. Besides you seem pretty slow compared to Percy, no offense." Lykrie states.
"None taken…" I grumble.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" I suddenly hear a female shriek and I quickly spin around to see the girl from district 12 Karen is being chased by Victoria as they're both running around the cafeteria.
"Someone help me! Someone help me!" Karen shrieks as she tries to outrun Victoria but Victoria is quickly closing in on her as the rest of the tributes are just awkwardly watching as the cafeteria is dead silent.
"Help me! Someone help!" Karen shrieks again but as Victoria finally catches Karen and tackles her to the floor, several peacekeepers immediately rush in and pull Victoria off of her and separate them before Victoria can do any damage.
"You broke my nail you dumbass!" Karen screams at her
"There's going to be much more broken than that when I get my hands on you!" Victoria tries to force her way past the peacekeepers but it's just not happening. A peacekeeper escorts Karen out of the cafeteria as Karen is still shouting.
"You aren't going to do shit! Stupid bitch!" Karen shouts at Victoria and Victoria is still trying to force her way past the two peacekeepers holding her back as her face is as red as an apple, gosh she's really mad. The peacekeepers manage to eventually calm her down after Karen is long gone and she returns to the table with Emmett who seems pretty shaken up. She really cares about that kid, but still I'm just glad at least someone got his back. I just continue eating my lunch before these private sessions start.
Augustus Swiston,35, Head Gamemaker
I shift in chair as I try and ignore the inappropriate chatter going on between my two colleagues, but it's rather difficult to ignore as I'm sitting right between them.
"Wear that sexy latex suit tonight baby!" the woman Barbara seductively tells her Husband Remus. That's right, they're married.
"Oh I'm going to take a whole bottle of those new pills I ordered too! We're going way longer than 2 minutes this time!" Remus seductively says back to her and I roll my eyes.
"Things like that, I'll happily take to my grave." I scold Remus who seems pretty embarrassed and I pour an energy drink into my fancy glass as I signal for the first tribute to enter the facility as we sit above them behind a glass. The first girl that enters is Annabelle Royce from district 1.
"Annabelle Royce from district 1, but you can just call me Ms. Victor!" She cockily states as she puts on some lipstick and starts putting on eyeshadow.
"Are you here to perform or look cute?" I scold the conceited female.
"Both honeybun!" She winks at me and shakes her hips as she walks over to a bow and activates the simulator on the highest difficulty setting. She immediately begins shooting the holograms one by one with impressive accuracy. One of the holograms however dodges her shot and rushes at her but she quickly rolls underneath it's strike and shoot it in the head with her bow.
"Now that's something victor worthy! Better give me a 12!" she demands as she spends her remaining time only putting on lipstick.
Hmm I already know what score I'm giving her. I look at the scores of Remus and Barbara and they have the same score as me.
I take several sips from my fancy glass and signal the next tribute to enter, and it's the short boy from district 1, Teddy Trismegistus.
"Teddy Trismegistus, district 1. May I request a sparring partner?" He confidently asks as he grabs a spear and sword from the brackets. I then motion for a sparring partner to enter as he grabs a sword and Teddy stands across him as he holds his spear over his sword in a defensive stance and the trainer closes in on him. Teddy uses his spear to defend against the strikes and uses his sword to strike whenever the instructors leaves an opening. The boy appears to be quite skilled despite his young age. The instructor tries to strike Teddy once more but Teddy raises his spear to block the attack and uses his sword to knock the instructor's sword out of his hand and Teddy turns around and gives me a confident grin as he bows. His buzzer then rings and he cockily strolls out, not bad.
I write down a number and show it to my colleagues and they agree. Next is Victoria Aspen the tall girl from district 2. She also requests a sparring partner and aggressively rushes at him with her spear and starts attacking him like he stole something from her. She seems very emotional about something and it's impeding her ability to focus. The instructor finally manages to create some distance and begins peppering her with shots from his plastic sword but she's showing no regards at all for defense as she's disregarding all of the hits she's taking and recklessly strikes him but he creates distance and stays on the offense continuing to pick at her before she throws her spear down in frustration. She then grabs a batch of throwing knives and walks over to the stimulator as the instructor awkwardly leaves and she begins throwing knives at them. Once again she's filled with emotion. Her accuracy is still sharp but she's missing targets she shouldn't be missing and one of the holograms actually manages to strike her before her buzzer rings. She looks so disappointed in herself and I write down a number as my colleagues agree again. She definitely had the potential to score higher than this.
Amos Walton arrives next and he requests two sparring partners as he smiles brightly and I think he's biting off more than he can chew but I send them in anyways and holds his sword in a defensive stance as the two instructors circle him. One closes in and he immediately parry's their attack as he counters and knocks them off balance. The other instructor tries to strike him but Amos swiftly ducks under it and weaves another strike before parrying him and disarming him. The second instructor aggressively rushes at Amos but Amos spins out of the way and makes sure to cockily swing his sword in his hand before the Instructor rushes at him again only for for Amos to block his strike and immediately counter him as he knocks the blade from his hand and both instructors acknowledge their defeat as they head out. He still has a little bit of time left so spends the rest of it at the simulator striking down holograms before they can get anywhere near him and the buzzer rings. I'm impressed, probably the best swordsmanship I've seen from a district 2 tribute. He gives a confident wave goodbye and leaves before the small girl from district 3, Zananova Pixa is next. Without even introducing herself she skips over to the survival station and immediately starts constructing something. She creates what looks like a snare with wires surrounding it attached to a rope and looks up at me.
"May I request a dummy?" she nonchalantly asks and I motion for an instructor carrying a dummy to go. She has him place the dummy on the snare and it immediately wraps around the dummy's leg and hangs it above the ceiling as electric sparks shoot through the snare and through the dummy's body and I swear I can see a sadistic grin on her face. This isn't some ordinary little girl. She uses the time she has left to identify plants and she's pretty accurate for the most part. Her buzzer rings and we all agree to the score we're going to give her.
Her gigantic district partner is next and he gives us a smile.
"Xavarion Odoro can I have three sparring partners that's skilled in hand to hand combat please?" he smiles.
Three? He's a big guy and all but even that might be too much for him, I send them in anyways and they all stand across from him as he has a focused look on his face and does a fighting stance as he begins to bounce on his toes. I can tell from his fighting stance alone that he has fighting experience, quite unusual for district 3 tributes. One of instructors closes in on him and throws a punch but Xavarion grabs the instructors wrist and easily flips him onto the floor as the other two close in on him. Xavarion dodges a punch and ducks under a kick before delivering a quick two punch combo that immediately drops one of the instructors. I know he's pulling his punches but it's still evident his strength is immense. Despite his size he's quite elusive being able to block and evade strikes with ease and he dodges another from an instructor before getting them into a clinch and sweeps their feet as he forces them to the ground.
He delivers some weak ground and pound and transitions to a full mount before delivering some more light ground and pound as the instructor tries to block his strikes but Xavarion switches to side control and starts squeezing the instructors neck as he's now applying an arm triangle choke. He doesn't apply much pressure but the instructor taps anyways and Xavarion immediately releases his grip from him. He then has a friendly boxing match with one of the instructors as the other two leave and keeps the instructor at bay with his jab before follwing up with a straight and left hook that wobbles the instructor but they jab at Xavarion as he calmly weaves it and lands a left hook into the instructors body followed by a right hook to the head and the instructor is wobbled again until he acknowledges defeat. An mma fighter though, I'm quite impressed and intrigued to how he even learned this.
He gives the instructor a friendly handshake and his buzzer rings. I write down a number and my colleagues agree with no objections. Next is Vendetta McClain from district 4.
"Vendetta McClain, District 4. I'd like to request a sparring partner." She states as she grabs a Warhammer from the brackets and I motion for an instructor to enter and they do as they grab a sword. She immediately rushes at them though and swings her Warhammer. The instructor manages to stagger out of the way and immediately tries to counter her but she blocks his strike before pushing him back with the weight of her hammer. He stumbles back a bit but they both swing their weapons at the same time and her hammer slams against his sword knocking it out of his hand but he quickly picks it up as she rushes at him again swinging her hammer and knocking him to the floor. She also seems a bit emotional about something, it seems like she can actually use this as fuel, unlike Victoria who only lets it consume her. The instructor scurries to his feet again and tries to land several attacks but Vendetta blocks all of his attacks and knocks his sword out of his hand yet again before hitting him in the body with the hammer and he acknowledges defeat.
Wow she didn't let up for a moment, he was completely destroyed. Her buzzer rings shortly after and she heads out before her district partner enters.
"Barbel Beacher district 4." He grumbles before walking over to the simulator and readies his throwing axes as the holograms start running towards him and he starts throwing his axes at them one by one. Most of them land in the head and chest area and he allows some of the hologram to get close to him so he can strike them down at close range mixing up his striking with his axe wielding skills. This is already enough to garner him a high score but he faces me with a stern look.
"I request a sparring partner." He states and I motion for one to enter the facility. Barbel puts the throwing axes away and only stands still as the instructor inches towards him. He throws a weak punch at Barbel but Barbel grabs his arm and punches him across the face as the instructor stumbles back. Barbel continues standing still but the instructor closes in on him again and throws another punch but Barbel weaves it and punches the instructor in the face dropping him. The instructor seems to be getting a bit upset now as they quickly spring up to their feet and starts throwing a barrage of punches at Barbel but he calmly uses his wrists to block all of the punches and the instructor leaves himself open as Barbel goes for a counter but the instructor quickly punches Barbel across the face and he drops to his knee afterwards. I'm pretty shocked, a career actually got knocked down in sparring?
How unfortunate, I'm going to have to take a point or two off for that. Barbel remains on his knee as the instructor stands across from him and Barbel's body starts to tremble before shaking erratically and I can hear a growl coming from him. The instructor takes several steps back in fear but Barbel quickly raises his head up at the instructor. His eyes widened with a scowl across his face and lets out a terrifying yell as he rushes at the instructor with inhumane speed. The instructor lands a vicious punch directly into the jaw of Barbel but it apparently has no effect on Barbel as he immediately grabs the instructor by the neck with one hand and throws his against the weapon brackets. The instructor tries to scurry to their feet but Barbel immediately pins the instructor down and rains terriying punches down on the instructors face knocking him unconscious as his face is a bloody mess. I've seen enough, I motion for several peacekeepers to intervene and two peacekeepers rush in as Barbel lets out an angry yell and charges at them and quickly punches one in the face as he falls to the floor. The other peacekeeper quickly stuns him with his stun gun but it has no effect on Barbel as he immediately spins around and he immediately punches the peacekeeper in the face twice before kneeing in the face knocking him out.
I signal more security to enter and three rush in as one of them tries to pin Barbel against the wall but Barbel quickly overpowers him and punches the peacekeeper in the nose sending him flying across the room. The second peacekeeper whacks Barbel in the face with a baton stick but he easily shrugs it off and he grabs the peacekeepers arm and twists his arm as you can hear the snap followed by a pained scream and Barbel slams their face against the wall knocking them out. The third peacekeeper tries to throw a kick but Barbel catches his foot and twists it as the peacekeeper cries out in pain and falls to the floor. I'm losing my patience so summon 5 elite peacekeepers with riot shields and they storm in as Barbel immediately rushes at them punching one of the shields so hard that it knocks down one of the peacekeepers, one of the other peacekeepers sneaks behind Barbel as he's too busy trying to break through the defense of the other three before they inject something in his neck and he immediately goes limp. They immediately carry him out of the facility afterwards and I'm just glad we got that taken care of. I have to wait until all of the Injured peacekeepers and instructor are stretchered out before I can motion the next tribute to enter.
What an absolute monster though, he might be my favorite this year, I do a smirk as i sip the rest of my energy drink and turn to the couple who have terrified looks on their face as they both have the same number written down, yeah we'll be going with that score.
Once the last peacekeeper is stretchered out, I motion for the next tribute to enter and it's Thomas Powell from district 5.
"Thomas Powell, District 5." He introduces himself to us and I give him a nod before he walks over to the survival station and begins identifying plants as he gets almost all of them right. He then begins sorting them in various groups and starts brewing them together to create medicine and he walks over to the weapon station as he grabs a knife and starts slicing a dummy with it. His skills are average, nothing to write home about, his buzzer rings out afterwards and his district partner Lysta enters as I write down a number.
She doesn't introduce herself and immediately sprints to the survival station and begins boiling chemical together. She quickly crafts something that looks like a bomb of some sort and throws it into the middle of the facility and it immediately explodes as flames shoot out across the facility and Lysta only lets out an excited laugh as she jumps up and down. I I immediately summon a unit to put the fire out and to escort this girl out before she ends up burning this entire building down. I write down a number and the kinky couple agrees with me.
Next is Vladimir Licht from district 6. The tall and sinister looking man immediately grabs a scythe and starts striking down dummies with ease as his power and quick blows beheads them all with little effort. I see a grin spread across his face as his speed picks up and he's genuinely enjoying himself. His buzzer sounds and he throws his scythe as it beheads another dummy and he does a sinister smile as he exits the arena. Hmm he might be the strongest district 6 tribute we've had in a long time.
His district partner Rylee Turbin enters soon after and she seems very nervous.
"R-Rylee T-Turbin." She stutters and heads towards the climbing station where she immediately scales up the wall and I'm surprised. She's a lot faster than she looks. She seemingly grows some confidence and tries to do the obstacle course but she gets thrown off the second course as the wrecking balls pushes her off the platform. She has a disappointed look on her face but her buzzer rings and district 7 is up next.
The small boy from 7 immediately walks in wiping his eyes but looks up at us and gives us a cocky smile.
"Hello my slaves! You'll address me as Master Acalistor Macalister!" he declares. Why is he speaking that way when it looks like he was crying literally seconds ago?
Anyways he walks over to the blunt weapons station but suddenly trips over his shoelace and lets out a scream before his head slams into the weapon brackets and he's immediately knocked unconscious.
We only look at him awkwardly for several moments before I summon a unit to carry him out and he leaves behind a puddle of piss that I have another unit clean up. Next is his district partner who seems much more capable than him.
"Lykrie Ellisman, District 7 she introduces herself and grabs an axe before immediately striking dummies with relative ease. Her technique is very refined and I can tell she's done a lot of training. She ends the session by throwing her axe right into the skull of a dummy and requests a sparring partner as she demonstrates her hand to hand skills and even secures a takedown on the instructor, not bad. She confidently leaves and Percy from district 8 enters, well more like dashes in afterwards.
"Hey everyone I'm Percy, call me Percy! That's like really cool!" He shouts as he starts to runs laps. He literally spends all of his time here running in circles. Once his buzzer rings, he immediately runs out and his district partner arrives afterwards.
"Ewwwww! It smells like sweat in here!" she whines but looks up at us and smiles.
"Hi my name is Mercedes Swift, my daddy is rich just like all of you!" she proclaims and I only give a casual nod before she walks into the snack bar, what is she doing? We patiently wait for her to come out and she does with chocolate on her mouth as she stuff three more candy bars into her pockets.
"These are sooooo tasty like oh my gawd!" she shouts in excitement but grabs a Katana and slices a dummy's head off as she cheers aloud opening another candy bar afterwards.
Hmm well she appears to have pretty decent technique, if she would've spent more time showing us her skills than eating candy, I probably could've given her a higher score.
She leaves afterwards and the district 9 male who has a bandage on his nose casually walks in. He picks up a knife and is about to strike a dummy but he drops the knife.
"Oh no!" he sarcastically exclaims and he walks and trips over his own foot as he rolls across the floor.
"Oww I hurt myself!" he sarcastically shouts as he rolls across the floor and I roll my eyes, I don't have time for these games. He gets up and picks up a sword but swings it as it goes flying out of his hand and is about to bend down to pick it up but he grabs his side.
"Ooooh my back hurts! Can't bend down!" He sarcastically say. Remus and Barbara apparently finds this funny, but I'm not smiling. He starts walking towards the obstacle course and seems to get a little more serious as he runs through the course. He fails the third obstacle as he misses a jump and falls to the floor as he curses in anger but he seems pretty fast at least, that'll get him some points. He curses again as he leaves and his sister enters afterwards.
"Winter Baromet, District 9." She introduces herself.
She quickly walks over to the survival station and easily builds a fire. She then pours some dirty looking water into a pot as she begins to purify it and starts sorting through the various plants and quickly cooks up a poison that can be applied to weapons, not bad.
She isn't done here though. She walks over to the weapons and grabs a slingshot and begins firing at dummies. She manages to get 4 headshots out of the 10 shots she fire, the rest land into the body as her buzzer sounds and gives us a friendly thank you before leaving and I jot down a number.
District 10 is next and the small boy Oswine enters and gives us a shy look before nervously walking over to the camouflage station. He quickly paints himself the color of some bushes and hides inside of them and I can't even see him. He then walks to the survival station as he builds a snare as well as a hammock and his buzzer rings as he nervously walks out of the facility afterwards. His district partner arrives next.
"Treasure! What kind of treasure can I find!?" she jumps up and down and quickly scurries up the rocky wall even faster than Rylee and begins looking around the top of the surface for something, I assume treasure.
"Hmm no treasure here!" she quickly climbs down the wall and runs to the obstacle course.
"Treasure, where can I find treasure?" She shouts as she starts running through the course as she dodges all of the dangerous hazards and swiftly runs through as I raise my eyebrow. Well this is quite unusual. Only a handful of outliers managed to complete this course and she's making this look way too easy. She completes the course but still looks disappointed she can't find any 'treasure'. Her buzzer rings and she holds her head down in disappointment as she leaves the facility, this girl is odd but unusually talented. I jot down a number and Citrus from district 11 enters.
"Citrus Sabrilla from the ever so lovely district 11, pleased to make your acquaintance!" He politely introduces himself to us and also tries his hand at the obstacle course. He's extremely nimble and glides through most of it but fails the second to last obstacle and only shrugs his shoulders.
"Well it happens right? Haha!" He laughs as he runs to the weapons stations as he grabs a knife and starts showing off his skills. He's seems relatively skilled as he uses the proper technique followed by his natural speed and he runs towards the survival station afterwards as he quickly boils together a poison and dominates a plant identifying and edible test. Quite the talented boy, especially for district 11 standards. His buzzer rings and he waves us a friendly goodbye as he leaves the facility and his district partner Calla Fable enters afterwards. Without saying anything she picks up a knife and starts striking dummies. Her technique is really sloppy though. Once she realizes that's not working. She heads to the survival station and starts identifying plants, but also does pretty terrible. She then ties some knots and starts a fire which is passable I guess. Her buzzer sounds afterwards and she leaves.
Emmett arrives on his crutches and a large bandage is wrapped around his head but he gives us a happy smile.
"Emmett Portland! So nice to meet you guys!" he greets us and sits down at the survival station as he starts building a fire and makes it look pretty easy. He then ties up some snares and seems good there as well. He ties up a hammock afterwards and I'm impressed. His buzzer rings afterwards.
"Thank you guys! Have a good day!" he waves at us and leaves before his district partner arrives shortly afterwards.
She struts in confidently and immediately looks up at us.
"Well none of you are black and you all look straight so that's good!" she states and I only gaze at her. Yeah she's one of those tributes, she won't be lasting long even if I have to pull some strings myself.
"Now give me someone to kill!" she orders.
"I'm afraid we will not be able to fulfil that request." I explain to her but her face contorts to a scowl.
"Give me someone to kill! Don't you fuckers like that anyways?" She screams as she knocks down a bracket of weapons and begins trashing the entire facility in a rage. I just calmly watch this fool while my colleagues are laughing hysterically. She then starts throwing weapons at the glass we're sitting behind but nothing is getting through bulletproof glass so she's making an even bigger fool of herself as we just casually watch her.
"Fuck you! Kiss my ass!" she yells before she turns around, pulls down her pants and flashes her behind at us before storming out of the facility and I only cringe. This concludes the private sessions though and we have some very interesting tributes here to say the least.
Here's day 3 of training and the private sessions! We're getting even closer to the games and I'm growing even more nervous and sad! Next up will be interview preps and I'm most likely going to squeeze in the interviews as well as it'll be covered by someone in the audience. After that each tribute will get a final thoughts pov that will start the night before the games and end right before the launch. The bloodbath will then begin and it's going to be a very emotional roller coaster for me. Anyways the training scores and updated alliances will be posted below, Till next time!
