Kazuo Braun POV

One, Two, and Four had fifteen Victors. Between us, we had to get thirty-one Tributes mentored. That averaged out to two Tributes per Victor, at least for some of us. There were way more girls than boys. Azure, Hyden, Jerky and I had four Tributes to choose from, so we each only got one.

"I want Rapture," Jerky blurted. Fine with me. I didn't want anything that reminded me of what happened in that Arena and what was in that Arena. Azure and Hyden started arguing over Jynx, which left me with Glaudius and Tritium. Either of them would be all right. I found myself drawn toward Glaudius. He had no idea what the Careers had become. I was tired of killing and tired of death. With Glaudius, I could focus on living instead.

Estrella Vasquez POV

Me and Peridot got three girls each. Luckily, our personalities balanced. She wanted the ones who would kill the most. I wanted the ones that would be the most fun.

"I want Olivine," I said. Peridot considered.

"If I can have Chantal," she countered. She'd been my next choice, but I could live with it.

"All right. Let me have... Victory," I said. I was almost disappointed with this crop. I wanted Tributes that would go into the Games with the same gusto I did. The Games were the most fun I had in my entire life. Half these girls just wanted to win. How boring was that?

"I'll take Diamond, and I also want Charmaine," Peridot said.

"That leaves me with Priscilla," I said distastefully. Last time around, I'd have been happy. Priscilla was a riot. This time, all she did was mope about her brother.

"You can't get all your picks. I have preferences too," Peridot said. I went over my roster. It was the best I was going to do. Maybe I could put some wind back in Priscilla's sails.

"All right. Deal."

Crag Steiner POV

Two for me, two for Makarios. I didn't usually get to pick my mentees, so that was cool. I only wish we got as many boys as we did girls.

"Mind if I take Troy?" I asked.

"Nah. I wanted Hunter anyway," Makarios said. He would. He was one of the ones who still believed in the Games as a honorable spectacle.

"I'll take one for the team and tackle Orren. Why not?" I said. He wasn't going to win, but we could have some laughs. Troy was the best bet anyway.

Pray Jager POV

"I'll be taking Ava," I said.

"You don't say," Megara said.

"I'd have thought you'd want Venus. She has the best chance," Doris said.

"I don't care. You pick and I'll take whoever else is left," I said. I'd already won. I didn't need another notch on my belt.

I ended up with Steel as my other pick. Seemed no one else wanted her. I looked over her files and found out why. I had a waif and a lamb as my two mentees. What did I get myself into?

Jonah Breaker POV

I was the only one who didn't have any competition in my bracket. Ole, Whyte and Floki were all mine. Floki and Whyte had already gotten together an alliance, so that worked out nicely. My chances weren't half-bad.

Mags Cohen POV

"You take Mist."

"Oh no. You take her."

"I don't want to take her!"

"Neither do I!"

"Come on. Please?"

"I did it last time."

Crap.

I tried to keep all the requested mentors, but I am both disorganized and absent-minded. If your Tribute was supposed to go with someone else, I'll change it.
