Chariot Rides!
Hey guys! Can I please bother you to leave a review? I have over a hundred hits and what, like five reviews? It's all I'm asking! As GizzyGirl would say, even a smiley face is okay!Please!
Brook Philips POV
"Ow~!" I wince as Rainea pulls the last strip of hair off my body. We are getting ready for the chariot rides, and now my whole body is bright red from being waxed.
Cornelia comes into the room with a bottle of lotion. "This will soothe your skin." she says, understanding my pain. She rubs the lotion on me. I wince, it stings at first, then it soothes my skin. It feels so refreshing.
Cornelia then grabs a nail file from the shelf and files my scrawny dirty nails into uniform shape and paints them in a grey and yellow design.
Rainea plucks my eyebrows into an arc shape. My eyes water with each pull.
Finally, Fenda comes in and curls my hair into bouncy ringlets. Hm, I wonder what my stylist is up to this year...
Rainea, Fenda and Cornelia kiss my cheeks then exit, telling me my stylist would arrive shortly. I put on my silk robe and fiddle with the curls they put in. I could never afford to have my hair like this. . .
"Hello, Brooke. I am Koron, your stylist." I turn and look behind me to see who the owner of this voice was.
I remember Koron as the stylist from last year. He an do wonders with fabric, and even somehow use fire and electricity in an outfit. I'm so glad that I didn't get a horrible stylist.
"Hi." I say, not knowing what else I could say. "What have you got planned this year?"
"Something that will blow your mind." Is all he says.
Pre Chariot Rides, Motrid Twill POV
I sit in my carriage, waiting to go.
There are horsies attatched to it, so I lean forward to pet it. "Good horsie.." I say, stroking it.
One by one, the tributes start entering. All their costumes are so weird...
Finally, my partner, Brook, comes in. Wow, her costume is really cool.
"Just make sure not to get anything like dirt on it, it would jack up the electrical current-" her stylist starts.
"Got it." Brook says. I tap her and she turns to me. "Yeah?" she asks.
"Did he say dirt? Where is there dirt?" I ask eagerly.
"Um, the paths are dirt here-" she starts.
I jump out of the chariot into the dirt and do my favorite thing; draw in it. I do it with my friends at home all the time.
"Motrid! You're getting dirt on your costume!" Brook shouts. "And mine!"
I stand up. "Sorry, Brook." I say sadly. She sighs with sad eyes.
"It's all right."
Then the District Five chariots are on their way, and the horses pull us forward.
Chariot Rides, 3rd Person POV
Glint and Sprik ride in on their chariot, horses white as snow, in outfits fit for royalty. Glint has on a beautiful diamond tiara, her normal short brown ponytail has been abandoned for wavy extensions. She has on a rich red cape and a purple dress that a queen would wear. In her hand is a sceptor. Glint looks strong and fierce, not waving to anyone.
Sprik looks absolutely regal in a king style outfit, crown and everything. His crown is jeweled with rubies and diamonds and sapphires and everything in between. He has a prince style top and dress pants.
The crowd goes wild for their Career District, cheers of "Glint!" and "Sprik!" can be heard all around.
Mila and Kendrick come in next. They are dressed in PeaceKeepers uniforms... Sorry stylists, but I know you can do so much better! Even with the marshmallow like outfits, cheering fans scream their names from all around. Unlike PeaceKeepers, they are quite pleasant to everyone; waving and blowing kisses. The crowd goes absolutely wild when Mila grasps onto Kendrick's hand for dear life.
Next up is District Three! Serena has on a midnight black dress with matching high heels, her hair up in a bun, and her stylist some how simulated electricity swirling around her outfit! Amazing! TIm has on a bright yellow suit, with black electricity swirling around him. The crowd is going crazy for Serena, some shouts for Tim. I also hear some people chanting bumble bee...
After that we have District Four! Our beautiful Acacia Yandalu looks stunning in a flowy long ocean blue dress that looks like waves on a beach. Above her head is a halo made of water! Wow, the stylists are on a roll this year. Next to her is the manly man, Azgaro Ice! He looks incredibly handsome in a baby blue tuxedo style suit. The crowd goes bananas for them, the loudest cheers so far!
Orchid Whishart POV
I sit in my chariot, twiddling my thumbs nervously. My stylist has put me in a black leathe dress with green glow in the dark stitches. It's cool looking, I guess, but really big on me, as I constantly have to pull up the strapless bodice.
District Four's chariot pulls closer to the president's mansion and the horses yank us on to the road. I wave shyly, as my stylist told me to do. Next to me, Ben is waving enthusiastically and blowig kisses to the crowd. I just sit there and wave, hearing the many "oohs" and "aahs" of the crowd, probably admiring my dress.
"Orchid! Orchid! Orchid!" I can hear the cheers of the crowd, giving me a bit more confidence. I put on my most innocent and winning smile and hear the "awwws" of the fans, broken hearted by my innocentness.
Aw, poor them. So sad.
At least they don't have to fight to the death within the next week.
Before I know it, the chariot comes to a stop by the mansion.
Ben Striker POV
"Wow, Orchid! Wasn't that fun? Wasn't it? Huh?" I ask, so pumped up from the chariot rides.
"Yes, Ben, it was very fun." she replies. 'time of my life' she mutters in a monotone whisper.
I lean back in my seat. For my chariot outfit, I have on a suit made of leather, and all the sitches are glow in the dark green! It's so cool!
I turn around in my seat and watch as the next chariots ride in. They are District Six, Brook and Motrid. I like Motrid, he seems nice. Maybe we can be allies.
Brook has on a yellow dress. There is a small glass road circling around her, and little toy cars are riding on it. It looks so cool! Her hair is left down, curly, and she is waving to the crowd.
Motrid has a white suit and pants... wait, is that dirt in his suit? He is waving to the crowd and smiling big. He also has the little cars driving around him. I like their costumes, I think they have the coolest out fits this year, even though I like my out fit very much.
3rd Person POV
District Seven rides in on their chariot with pur white horses. Tasi Merkava has on a suit made of completely paper, though it looks like smooth chiffon. The proportions fit him well. He is smiling and waving to the crowd.
Galinda has on a form fitting dress and beret made completely out of paper. It's pure white and looks like chiffon, like Tasi's outfit. Galinda is whispering to herself and staring into space.
Now on to District Eight. Callum Grell has on a suit made completely of different square of fabric stitched together. Not the best outfit, but he is clearly from DIstrict Eight. Callum is waving friendly to the crowd.
Ribbon smooths her pink princess looking dress over her lap. She looks adorable in a pink princess type poofy dress with a crown and all. She smiles shyly at the crowd and waves a bit. The crowd goes wild for her innocentness.
District Nine is one of the harder Districts to dress. And... well, they didn't exactly do a good job. Azura is wearing a bunch of real tufts of grain belted together at the waist, and Gyrke has on a suit made of wheat... They both look hostile and above it all.
The District Ten chariot rides in. Cal and Jackson have on cow suits... They just sit there miserably, probably feeling as pathetic as they look.
Next is District Eleven. Dixie Therpast is dressed in dress made completely out of vines and flowers. She looks stunning and is waving to the crowd and blowing kisses. Bradley, on the other hand, is in little overalls and crying his eyes out.
Finally, we have District Twelve. Spiral Blue looks adorable in a baggy orange coal miner suit with a hard hat and everything. Julius Pow has a matching outfit, except his hat has a headlight and he has a toolbelt armed with a pick ax, a match, and a hammer. Spiral is smiling an adorable smile, missing a few teeth, and Julius looks bored and cruel.
It's the first time anyone has seen all the tributes together. I bet many can already bet on a winner...
