I know this chapter is a little short, but it was a way of integrating the tribute list into the actual story so i don't breach fanfic regulations :)

Nathaniel Vice's POV

This is the life I think to myself as I relax in my lavender scented bathtub. I'm so glad that all the Reapings are over. No more having to watch the families of tributes cry. Crying creeps me out; it's a little pet peeve of mine. I had my own tear ducts removed long ago, so I'm incapable of crying, even if I feel sad; which I never do. Sometimes the things we Capitol citizens do does seem a little weird, but other times its just purely a matter of convenience.

"Sir, the final list of the tributes is here" my assistant Walter says as he hands me a sheet of paper. I read down the list carefully, memorising every letter on every line; as if the names of these tributes will open some sort of gateway so I can see into their souls.

From what I saw earlier on some of the tapes, the tributes are a rather odd bunch of kids. They come in all shapes and sizes; small, skinny, tall, muscled. It'll be fun watching as they all try to interact with each other on the training days. Soon all 24 will arrive on their little trains and be thrown headfirst into Capitol life. The best part? I'm going to be there every step of the way to watch them squirm with discomfort. There'll be more than one thing about this year's hunger games that will make these tributes uncomfortable. With my plans finally approved by President Swift, these tributes will be in for a big surprise when they step into that arena…

Ok so i received a review today that got me thinking... why dont I leave it to you guys to decide who you'd like to form an alliance with? I mean, these are your tributes and theoretically they watch the tapes from all the other tribute's hunger games, so they get a basic understanding of the other tributes.

So what i'm thinking is that if each of you PM me (through your character's thread, you should all still have it in your inbox) detailing your first and second preference for your tribute to be in an alliance with.

I will not accept more than two, any more will just be ignored. There will be no large alliances except for the careers, its just too unrealistic.

Not everyone will get their first choice, but i think that most people will be in some sort of alliance, as temporary as it may be.

Any questions feel free to PM me as well, i'm always happy to answer in as much detail as possible.

Happy hunting! :)
