The escorts did not sign up for this. They were supposed to be drawing the names of Panem's next seasoned warriors, not of mere infants.
The babies had no idea what was going on as they were carried onto the stage when their names were called out. Some screamed when they were handed to the escorts, becuase the weirdo clown was not their mother.
The escorts did not know how to take care of babies. Never were they more grateful fir the Avoxes, because no way in heck woukd the cream of the Capitol crop be changing diapers.
One poor escort, Julsta, got saddled with a screamer, and a slobberer. In just minutes her designer outfit was smothered in baby drool, and she had a major headache.
The mothers and fathers did fear for their babies, in the Capitol, without a parent.
One thing was known through all of Panem, this would be an unforgettable Hunger Games.
