Chibi: Hey people here are the district 1 Reapings! And I gotta tell you I'll love the contrast between the D1 girl and the D2 girl there WILL be conflict within the careers
~ Satin Chalcedony ~
I awake in my fluffy King sized bed; I look fantastic as always, I hop outta bed and admire my lovely body in the full length mirror. Just then a gentle knock comes on the door and my servant comes in servant.
"What do you want" I command my voice strong, loud, and asserting yet gentle and sweet, like a proper princess
"M-Miss Satin, I have prepared your bath, have your training and reaping clothes, laid out and Chef Sebatien is preparing your lunch, oh your family is down stairs as well." She says with a gentle voice, I smile.
"Thank you Margret, now get out." I say, I'm only nice to the servant since my daddy said he'll fire them if any of us disrespected the help, so I HAVE to be nice to them, ugh I hate these commoners. I walk into my bathroom, just right for someone as beautiful as me. I stepped out of my pajamas and throw them on the floor; the help will pick it up later. I once again admire at my nude body in the mirror, my long textured, sandy blonde hair I always have the best hair in the district better than any of those commoners, outside after all I'm part of the ultimate elite in district one, I'm part of the Elitist four, the most prestigious and important people in the country, Empress Yukianesa and her young junior assistant, what was her name… Alli? Who cares, she's not important, I look at my glossy blue eyes, look like the sapphire of Ploutos, himself. I slide into the tub, just the right temperature of course only Margret know the proper temperature the rest of the help, makes it too hot or too cold, which resulted in a slap from me, and serious reprimanding from daddy. After the bath I get up and dress in my outfit for reaping day, a rosy pink dress, knee length, short sleeved and a lovely white laced collar around it. I head down the common room of our manor to see my brothers Gleam and Shimmer at a glass table, Gleam lecturing Shimmer on how jewelry works.
"No Shimmer, I'm telling you this ruby works better with the garnet then that ugly jasper" Gleam snorts arrogantly, Shimmer looks casually to the side.
"How many times do I have to tell you Gleam, I don't care what goes with rubies and sapphires and emeralds… all I know is that chains should be made from gold and silver, and a pendant can be made from crystal…" Shimmer says, looking out. I decided to walk to them take a rose quartz necklace, I wear it and begin to leave, Gleam begins to complain, while Shimmer, yawns as he looks outside. I begin to walk before Gleam yells something audible.
"Hey, give that back you spoiled idiot." Gleam growls, I'm about the leave while I turn around.
"Enough of your squawking, if you don't like be royal, like me!" I say with a serious and menacing tone as I leave, I enter the kitchen, where Sebastien has just finished making breakfast.
"Hey, Sebastien are you finished" I say as I sit down, and stare at the beautiful arrangement on the table. Sebastien sets down my breakfast, French toast, with thick, creamy syrup. An edible diamond encrusted croissant, bacon and quail eggs. Perfect. I eat daintily and sit up, I walk into the main room to see my father sitting in his small corner of the room, where he hurries to finish order, I don't get why he chose to be a jeweler, whatever it didn't matter.
"I'm leaving early for the reapings; I don't want peasant sweat on m." I announce to my father, then my mother enters, she see's my hair and gasp.
"No daughter of mine, is leaving my house with that hairstyle!" she scoffed and pulled my by the arm back in.
"Hey watch the arm! Jesus, woman, is hair the only thing you can handle gently?" I growl, she glares at me
"Hey watch it, young lady I could just as easily have you thrown in the garbage, and I still can!" she hisses at me.
"Do it, I dare you! I'll start a scandal, believe me I will!" I spat back.
"Looks like the big cats can't share a cage." I hear Shimmer say as he leans on one of the ivory columns that decorated the entryways into other rooms.
"Shut up, commoner!" we both yelled at him. We both calm down a bit and I let her style my hair, it takes a while but I'm finally ready.
"Hey, Satin… c'mere for a bit" my father says, I walk up to him with a apathetic face, I look at him sitting at corner table he lift up my hand and slips a ring on it, It was a chalcedony ring, a blue one, how tacky of my father picking a blue one that would match my eyes… typical. I leave the house … or rather manor and head out to the middle of this section of the district. I see my two friends walk up to me. They're special people, I'm a goddess to one of them and the other… well I'm her voice. Sparkle steps up to me, her chocolate eyes sparkling, she was wearing an indigo dress, with some diamonds weaved into it. The seamstress at the end of the street must have made it. She wore a bracelet of platinum and a necklace of black pearls.
"Hiya, Satin you look so … dazzling today, pfft when don't you. What do you think of my outfit?" Sparkle says, she the one who considers me her goddess, I glance at her.
"I like the dress, but you could do without the pearls." I say bluntly, it was only half a lie, her dress was adequate but the woman in black who lives on Park Avenue does the best dresses.
"… hi Sa-"Jute, my other, quiet friend says before I intervene and begin speaking in place of her. Then I snap my fingers
"C'mon ladies off to the reapings" I say and lead us to the reapings, I shove the girl at the front aside as I bring Jute and Sparkle along
"HEY, WHO WENT AND MADE YOU QUEEN?!"The girl behind me shouts, oh it's her, that girl that was the kid of the close friend of the mockbird's games what was her name, Glisten? I didn't care I simply repeated the line I told Gleam. We sit at the reserved spot for the elite, Jute quietly refusing all it had to offer, asking for just a glass of water, I waited for almost forever until the Escort and Mayor Ellington step up to the high stage.
"Greetings District 1, it's once again time for our royal Empress's games! Now then before we start, there will be absolutely NO male volunteers this year. Unless you wish to repeat LAST year's incident." The Mayor says aloud, the damn boys are always causing trouble. Then our Escort steps up, Cynthy Sija
"Welcome all to the Empress' games!" She says with a gleeful smile, "Now then you all know the rules. Ladies fi-"
"I volunteer." I yell out with confidence and stride to the platform before a circle can form around me.
"Oh dear, it seems we have a volunteer! What is your name sweetie?" Cynthy says
"My name is Satin and I, the Princess of District 1, will bring you commoners victory! Prepare you self District one for a new win-"
"Shimmer Chalcedony" Cynthy says, that ignorant woman just ignored me, wait did she say… oh no my brother is coming along… that imbecile

I wake up in my room as usual, I ruffles my hair out of it weird bed head state and it falls in my face again, It's early morning … I decided to get up reaping are usually at noon, so I have a couple of hours to enjoy before I see another poor kid get sent to his death… now that I noticed it how did I end up in my roof, I fell asleep while staring at the stars…. Oh well. I walk to my bathroom, strip my pajamas and take a bath. After that I just throw on a white tunic and some slack and shoes. I head downstairs to see my twin brother, Gleam working on a few jewel, great, easy Shimmer, easy just sneak past him. I stealthily walk around the common room and I almost make it when I hear
"Shimmer! Where do you think you're going?" Gleam says I turn around and scratch the back of my head
"Eheh W-well I was gonna go get a spot up front for the reaping, Gleam what with waking up ear-"
"No time for that you know you have to take this lesson. Now sit." Gleam says, I sigh, take down a seat and watch him fiddle with necklace string and gems. I look off to the side and wonder who's going into the games, I eventually fall asleep again.
"Shimmer!" I hear Gleam voice yelled out I immediately wake up and yell a random gem name.
"No Shimmer, I'm telling you this ruby works better with the garnet then that ugly jasper" Gleam snorts arrogantly, I just look off, outside the window.
"How many times do I have to tell you Gleam, I don't care what goes with rubies and sapphires and emeralds… all I know, is that chains should be made from gold and silver, and a pendant can be made from crystal…" I murmur. Then my sister walks by picking up a rose quartz necklace and leaving, Gleam get angry, and demands she gives it back. I chuckle and while Gleam is distracted I leave. I leave through the side entrance, not bother to get some food, I ran out the side door being careful, not be spotted by the butler, I keep running for a bit before I crash right into someone, I fall flat on my back.
"Sorry man" we say in unison, I look up and see none other than my best friend, Ember. We stand up and laugh
"Ember my man how are you?" I say with a grin plaster on my face, he grins back.
"Fine, how my elitist friend doing?" he says back with a smirk on his face. His spiked hair bright in the sunshine, we start joking, until my stomach grumble, I tell him to go to the reaping before me and save me a good spot, while I snag some toast from the chef. He sighs and head off then I sneak in, grabs some toast and almost left, but I heard Satin and my mother argue.
Do it, I dare you! I'll start a scandal, believe me I will!" I hear Satin yell. I laugh and say
"Looks like the big cats can't share a cage." They both yell at me and I leave the same way I came in.
At the reaping I get recognized and taken to where Ember was, I sit down, some girls gawking at us. I think I heard one of them squealing about making some word that started wit think, with me and Ember, who cares, I just lay back and watch the reapings. Our Escorts as derpy as ever give a small speech and how there will be no male volunteer due to last year how 2 volunteer got fatally wounded, blah, blah, blah. She's about to announce the female tribute when Satin volunteers. Yes at least I won't have to deal with her anymore. I lay back, look at Ember with the biggest grin I can pull off, tonight we're gonna celebrate my sister's going away. I relax close my eye and are about to fall asleep, until I hear my name.
"Shimmer Calchedony" I sit up and say yes. I look over Ember looks mortified, I say what then realize. I'm the male tribute for district one. Geez and just when I thought I got off the hook. Oh well, I head to the platform, look out to the crowd, and silently smile.
… These are going to be some interesting games.
