The next training day passes by in a blur, and the next thing the tributes know, it's time for their private sessions. Like always, District one goes first, District Twelve last.
The Gamemakers are already ready, from Seneca Crane, to Plutarch Heavensbee, and everyone in between.
Charisma walks into the training room and picks up her weapon of choice: knives. She starts by hurling knives into makeshift dummies. After doing that for about a minute, she duels with a trainer, pinning the trainer to the ground in seconds. By then, her time is up.
Devin is up next, and he grabs a large axe. Quickly, the training room fills with severed dummy heads. He throws some spears around as well, being his second choice in weapon. Devin runs the agility course pretty quickly as well. He begins to throw knifes as well (though, less remarkably as charisma) when his time ended.
Cassie is one some of the Gamemakers have been looking forward to. She enters the training room with a smirk plastered across her face. Her weapon of choice, a double sided tomahawk, sat waiting for her, leaning against the far wall. She picked it up, weighing slowly in her hand, before racing through the obstacle course, nimbly jumping from platform to platform, decapitating dummies along the way. She beckoned for a trainer to fight her. Cassie used her trusty axe once again, to make sure the Gamemakers knew to put it in the cornucopia for her. The trainer Cassie picked was a tall, muscular one who prefers swords. She parried his quick blows with faster ones of her own. The smile was still etched across her face when dueling. She even got so excited that she might've kinda let the axe slip and cut off the trainer's dominate hand, but minor details, am I right? Cassie wanted to face off against another trainer, but not a single one would look her in the eye after she separated the man's wrist from his arm. Soon after her fifteen minutes were up.
Robert did the usually career crap. His main weapon was a long sword. The trainers were more hesitant to fight after Cassie's display.
Michelle analyzed the gamemakers' faces as she started her 15 minutes at the edible plants section. Scoring a perfect 100, she made a mediocre tent out of a sleeping bag and some sticks.
Ben set several traps, and demonstrated how each one could kill a human being or animal. His favorite was a trip-wire, and any unlucky sap who found themselves tripping over it would end up slowly dying from blood rushing to their head, as the trap cause the victim to be swept up by one foot and dangled upside down.
Abby scowled as she entered the training room, upon not seeing her sais. She barked to an assistant to fetch some for her, who ran off as fast as her legs could carry her. In the meantime, Abby threw some knives at a cutout of a human being. She called out which body part it would hit before throwing the knife to land in the exact place she had just described. When her sais arrived, she only had two minutes to duel with a trainer. Despite this, as she was leaving, one of the female Gamemakers nodded at her, to say that her sais would in fact be in the cornucopia.
Riley chucked some tridents around and stabbed some dummies with them. At the end he spent a few minutes at the camouflage station, painting a shelter to blend in with the trees.
Isabella ran the agility course twice, and practiced some of her newly found knife throwing skills. She wasn't nearly as good as the careers, but she had made an impression.
Ivan did some of the defensive stations, including fire making and edible plants. He Gamemakers were beginning to get bored now, and the wine had just arrived. Several of them left their seats to try some of the scotch.
Tricia decided to focus on her climbing skills, and she flew from fake tree to fake tree in the training center. She built a shelter as well and got in some last minute practice with a short sword and slingshot.
CJ mainly hopped from weapon station to weapon station, hoping something he had worked on the last two days would be remarkable enough to stick with the Gamemakers. He wasn't extraordinarily good with anything, but his scythe skills were mediocre.
The Gamemakers took a small break, enjoying the festivities.
Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry it's so small and very cringe, chapters will be better soon. -A
