The thought of being in the Hunger Games excited him greatly, he has no wife or child holding him back, so he doesn't see why he isn't the perfect candidate. He had never thought he'd have a chance at being in a Quarter Quell, Quarter Quells have always been his favorite. Regular Hunger Games aren't as cool, he was bouncing with excitement as he got ready for Reaping. He better be picked, after all, he did switch many of the names in the men's reaping bowl with his own. If for dumb reason does not get reaped, he better not hear his sister, Marcia's name. Nothing would anger him more, why should she have more glory then himself?

He is the better sibling in their crowded family of victors, literally everyone in his family are victors. His dad, Crab, actually mentored his mother, Aqua. That's how the hooked up really. His older brother, Sam, was the first sibling victor, then it was his twin, Sandy, he, himself was the third to become a victor, and THEN it was stupid Marcia. He doesn't remember when they started hating each other, it could've been while he and Sandy mentored Marcia and someone else unimportant. It could've also been during the time, he and Marcia mentored together for like two years, nothing made him madder then when she would try and steal his sponsors for his tribute! Marcia always tries to one up him and even he knows, he is the best, that is why he was born before her. If he was reaped with one of his sisters, he preferred Marcia, because he cared about Sandy more. And he on a daily bases has the urge to kill her anyways.

"Scald!" He nearly jumps out of his skin hearing Marcia's screech as she banged on the front door. Angrily, he stomps to the door and throws it open, "What?!" Scald yells causing Marcia to grin. "Why so tense big brother?" Marcia asks with fake innocence before strutting into his home. Scald narrows his eyes, why was Marcia here? She never comes by unless she wants something. "What do you want?" He asks bitterly, she smiles as she sits in HIS recliner. "Oh, nothing. Just came by to see you before reaping." She says driving him insane, he simply wanted her to state her request and leave. "Look, here Scald. I have a better chance at being reaped, and when I do. I will bring more honor to our family as the first second time victor." She says and stands up, Scald scoffs angrily, "The fuck you will!" He barks making her laugh, "You're hilarious, I'll see you at reaping. I've got to get ready so I look amazing." She walks straight for the door not looking back at him.

Scald sits between Sandy and Marcia, he's holding back the urge to just throw Marcia off the stage, head first. He was still angry at her for coming into his home, running her mouth as if she was somebody special. Marcia was showing fake enthusiasm as she smiled at the crowd, she couldn't careless about them, she only wanted to be reaped, just to piss Scald off. There was nothing more satisfying then to piss that grown man off, she figured that out during their training years.

Madeleine, the Escort beamed as she reached in for the first second time, female tribute. She walks back to the microphone as she opens the slip of paper, "Marcia Creek!" She says loudly, Scald feels his blood boiling as he watches his sister skip over to Madeleine, if he doesn't get reaped he will be very angry. Madeleine seemed to take forever before she finally got a male tribute slip out, she walks over to the microphone as she opened the slip of paper. "Scald Creek!" The crowd lets out gasps seeing the brother and sister duo now standing next to each other. Nobody but themselves could understand their hatred for each other.


Train Ride

Marcia grins watching her brother pout like a baby, the man has been behaving like a child since they've gotten on the train. She knew it would be funny to see his reaction to her being reaped, but now that they're together, it makes it just that more funny. She already knows she will win, it's an easy thought and the truth of course.
