"It's safe, I promise," Kibosh said, "It's not real fire. The suits are built so you won't feel a thing."
Gil: Looks real to me.
"Well," Kibosh said, "That's the point, You ready? Don't be afraid."
Molly: I'm not afraid.
The crowd cheers louder as they go out onto the stage. Gil grabs hold of Molly's hand but Molly pulls away.
Gil: Oh come on! Their gonna love it!
They hold hands and raise it in the air. Thurdigree Burns picks up his earpiece and stands up and walks to the podium.
Thurdigree Burns: Welcome, welcome tributes, we welcome you, we support you courage and sacrifice! We wish you a happy starving games and may the odds be In your favor!
Applause roar from the crowd.
Kibosh: That was amazing.
Deema: You can say that again, we are people are going to be talking about.
Marshall: So brave!
Molly: Are you sure you should be near an open flame?
Marshall: Fake Flame? Are you sure you... Let's uh go upstairs.
Casper, a tribute from the underworld stares at them.
Deema: So each of the realms get their own floor, and because your from Adventure Bay, you get the penthouse. Come on
Gil and Molly follow Deema.
Deema: So this is the living room. I know, I know, your room is right here, why don't you clean yourself up before dinner?
Molly goes to her room and looks at the device. It changes the setting to a place she is familiar with.
Frankengymteacher: In 2 weeks, 23 of you will be dead. One of you will be alive. Who that is depends on how well you pay attention over the next four days. Particularly, what I'm saying is no fighting with the other tributes. You have plenty of time in that arena. There are four compulsory exercises. The rest will be individual training. My advice is, do not ignore survival skills. Everybody wants to grab a sword, but most of you will die from natural causes, 10 percent from infection, 20 percent from dehydration. Exposure can kill as easily as a knife or (shivers) fire. Wait fire?! Where?! Ahhhhh! (Runs in circles)
Molly rolls her eyes then steps in, "Couch, there's no fire."
"Oh," he said, "Alright then."
Everyone else is training meanwhile Casper notices something wrong.
Casper: Ra, where's my knife, huh?
Ra: I didn't take your knife, Casper. I'm your friend. Why are you randomly blaming me of this after how long our friendship has lasted?
Casper: Yes, you took my knife.
People try to seperate them.
Casper: You took my knife, you liar!
Ra: Didn't touch it!
Casper: You stupid corpse! You took my knife!
Mantha is at the ceiling holding Casper's knife. Goby laughs at this as Frankengymteacher blew the whistle.
Frankengymteacher: Everyone! Back in line!
Ra:You know who your messing with, Casper?
Meanwhile back at the apartment.
Marshall: He's a career. Know what that is?
Molly: From the underworld.
Marshall: They train their whole lives and they volunteer. They are a lethal group.
Deema: But they don't recieve any special treatment. In fact they share an apartment with you. They also get no dessert like you can.
Gil: So how good are they?
Marshall: Obviously they are pretty good. They win the games almost every year. But...
Deema: Almost.
Marshall: They can be arrogant and Aragons can be a big problem. I hear you can shoot...
Molly: I'm alright.
Gil: She is better than alright. She has good traits and skills.
Molly: Gil's strong.
Gil: What?
Molly: he can throw a hundred pound sack of flour. I've seen him do it before.
Gil: I'm not going to kill anybody with a sack of flour.
Molly: No, but you'll have a better chance of winning if somebody comes after you with a knife.
Gil: I have no chance of winning, none! Alright. It's true, everybody knows it.
Gil gets up and leaves the table he was sitting at.
