PRIVATE SESSION ASSESSMENTS FOR THE 128TH HUNGER GAMES
Preface: The following pages contain the assessments of each of the tributes from this, the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Annual Hunger Games. The following files are documentation of the tributes that will be fighting in these Games and the way they are evaluated by myself, Miss Aika Muramatsu, and the rest of my team of Gamemakers. Over the course of these five days, our team of professionals has logged the tributes' interactions with each other and with the aspects of training in order to determine their skills and odds. The following pages are an abbreviated summary of our assessment of each tribute based on their interactions and especially their private training sessions. These will justify the suggested training scores for each tribute and give our Announcer, Miss Viola Wallace, and our interviewer, Mx. Piccolo Wallace, suggested points of conversation for and about each tribute.
The abbreviated form will be presented in the following fashion:
NAME, AGE, DISTRICT
IDENTIFICATION CODE: Code for the tribute in the computer system, for easy access.
SKILLS SHOWN/COMMENTARY AND STRATEGY: A brief description of the tribute's chosen demonstrated skill during their private session, along with speculation about their strategy.
GIVEN SCORE: The consensus for the numerical score that will be publicly displayed with justification, if necessary.
INTERVIEW AND ANNOUNCEMENT ADVICE: A small paragraph to Mx. Piccolo Wallace and Miss Viola Wallace, regarding the best way to interview the tribute and what kind of questions to ask.
NOTES: Any extra observations about the tribute from the Gamemaking team. Some of this information can be relayed to mentors if applicable.
Section I: Alliance List
Wendy (1) / Basil (1) / Nadia (2) / Ryder (2) / Ridley (4) / Keelan (4) / Kodiak (10) / Wachiwi (10)
Typical Career alliance. Has great potential to splinter with the pairs of Ryder and Kodiak, as well as Ridley and Amiah. Wachiwi and Basil had a falling out, but it doesn't seem to have affected the alliance… Yet.
Alvis (3) / Robin (7)
Robin is being monitored closely by Agent Eight. Report expected before the party.
Vasilisa (11) / Dante (6)
Close friends that were ousted from alliances, not much of a chance at survival in the Games.
Rory (8) / Odessa (9) /Amiah (5) / Mary (7)
An outer-District alliance with a strong showing. We will see if one of them becomes an outsider.
Cadmus (9) / Paisley (8)
She is pulling the strings, and he is following. However, there seems to be a strong distrust.
Kaoru (5) / Ruthie (6)
He seems quite protective of her, perhaps because of her resemblance to his younger sister.
Vyka (3) / Antonio (11)
These two seem to be together by necessity, both of them rejected from other groups. However, both of them are thinkers that have talked strategy extensively.
Adrian (12)
Was approached by multiple tributes and turned them down. Solitary personality naturally.
Ember (12)
Seems to be soft-hearted, but determined to get home and insists on going alone, despite being approached by others.

…
"You have to do all this in a day?"
Aika looked up at her intern flipping the pages and released a heavy sigh. "That's not even the least of the secretary bullshit I have to deal with every day." She shook her head at that. She was not made to do this job and she hated every single second of it. "Did you see any typos?"
"I didn't catch any, Ma'am. Shall I take it down for you?" He tweaked his glasses and smiled at her. "It would be the least I could do."
"I should go with you. Lester…" She sighed. "We see you pulling tributes to the downstairs office. You should be very careful about that, it seems…"
"Suspicious?" He completed the sentence for her. "I realize it does appear that way. But I don't really know what else I can do to get the quotes and data I need for this project. It's a big part of my grade."
Aika narrowed her eyes at him for a moment. He had been a godsend for her – and she was glad she received a call from him inquiring about this job further. But… She liked Lester, a lot, and she did not want him to get himself in trouble. "The rebels will frame anyone they need to in order to succeed, regardless of their true loyalties. I just don't want you to be hurt." She truly did believe he was innocent. But that worry that he was part of this group of people advocating for war, death, destruction… It was ever present. It was present for everyone that Aika interacted with on a day-to-day basis.
"Thank you for your concern," he said. "I will be careful, Ms. Muramatsu, I promise. I don't have much more information to gather."
"I suggest that you bring tributes into a room that is bugged when you discuss these matters with them. I understand the office is where you have your textbooks and computer, but…"
Lester nodded and took a sip of coffee. "I understand. But we shouldn't hesitate to deliver this report, lest we upset the Commander. Again, we don't want to risk upsetting anyone right now."
Aika nodded a little bit, standing up. "Of course," she said. "And we have to stick together through all this mess… Right?"
"Definitely. Who else knows how you like your coffee?"
"I've never become this addicted to caffeine in my life," she mumbled to herself.
"Well, I was already addicted before this job, so I guess it's part of my due training," he teased, as they started walking towards the Commander's office together.
Aika knocked on the door nervously. It didn't take very long for it to be opened by an Avox, and the Commander ushered them quickly inside.
"The score report, Sir," Aika said, presenting him with the document. "I think you will be glad to hear that none of the tributes are exhibiting dangerous behaviors." Junius took the binder and put it on his desk. "Have the numbers been sent to the graphics team?"
"Yes sir," Lester said quickly. "I sent them as soon as they were finalized."
"We are running a very clean, tight ship," Aika said proudly. It started out rough, but between her and the young man beside her, they were able to make it work and hoist the sails.
"A tight ship indeed," Lester said. "The only thing missing now is a good sea shanty." He launched into a heartfelt rendition of the Wellerman that was abruptly cut off by a knock on the door.
"That would be Agent Eight," Junius said, narrowing his eyes at Lester as Aika flicked his ear. "We're going to have… a special meeting, about his conversations with his competition." He turned towards the other two. "You are both welcome to stay. In fact, you certainly should. This may guide your next steps to ensure a smooth transition to the Arena."
"Of course, Sir," said Aika, sitting down in a seat by his desk obediently.
Lester stood behind her, taking a long, loud sip of coffee as the door was opened and Alvis stepped in the room.
"Agent Eight, please." He gestured to the seat in front of his desk.
"Well, I wasn't expecting a full council," he commented as he walked in and sat down, his shoulders relaxing as soon as the door closed and he was hidden from the sight of the outside.
"Mr. Gilmour, how nice to see you again." Alvis gave him a nod.
"You as well," he said.
"So, Agent Eight, please report your findings to me. I trust you've been busy."
"I have," he said. "I've been collecting intel. And it seems that most of the tributes are clean. They truly only want to get out of here with their lives, and harbor no particular desire to incite anything. Not even with a little bit of probing."
Aika breathed a sigh of relief at that. She really hoped that was the case. None of the tributes really struck her as that sort. Lester put his elbows on her shoulders and rested his chin on the top of her head, taking another sip of coffee.
"Well, that's good news, right?" Aika asked, finally, at the silence in the room. "Agent Eight is the best there is, right?"
"So Apollo says," Junius said, his mind in thought. "Have you truly found nothing?"
"Well… Last night I did have quite an enlightening conversation. One in particular… Well… I simply worry about the nation's security if this individual is allowed free speech in the next phases of the Games."
"Do elaborate."
Alvis sighed quietly, not hesitating before he started. "Well, we're dealing with a dangerous individual. Who has simply been biding time, for a reason I still don't know, with the plan to incite violence, be a martyr, die for them mindlessly. And it is quite unfortunate, considering they volunteered to do this with no hesitance. Unfortunately, their will is weak, they are a coward, and they've continued to pretend that they are here for the right reasons. But personally, I certainly wouldn't want to afford them the opportunity to sabotage our nation's safety."
Lester's hand tensed around his coffee cup – Alvis could see it. But he casually looked away from the wildcard.
"Say the name. We will detain any dangerous individuals immediately."
Alvis leaned back in his chair. He harbored no sympathy – no nothing. After all, this was all just part of his job, no matter what he had to do or who he had to form relationships with. None of it mattered.
"I wish this could have ended differently for the fallen angel," he said, shaking his head. With one more small sigh, Alvis pushed his glasses up his nose and looked over at Junius in the eyes.
"Robin Nyquist."
