Still don't own the Hunger Games...
Aurora Austriallis, Capitolite (diary entry 1.1 complete)
I finally watched the male half of the District 11 Reapings! I can't believe I didn't write about it sooner, I forgot! Anyways, the boy was NOWHERE near as interesting as the girl. Speaking of Cinnamon, wasn't her outfit atrocious! There was a follow-up about her shirt in the news, and I found out that she hadn't been wearing anything so horrible when she had showed up at the sign-in table. Apparantly she wrote those horrible words on it, and probably during the Treaty of Treason. I hope her little sister isn't punished for it, but knowing President Vandara, she will probably be either made into an Avox or killed. It's sad, really. Sugar looked like such a sweet girl!
Back to the male Reapings: Vogue Embraer plunged her hand into the Reaping skyscraper and drew out a name. Looking up, she called the name into the microphone. "Coren Joss!"
Without hesitation, a boy stalked out of the backmost rows. He was wearing a light tan shirt, and a pair of simple dark brown slacks- it was such a relief to see that he wasn't wearing any contraband! He made his way to the stage without changing his expression in the least. Once next to the Escort, he seemed to freeze. Vogue stared at him, shocked. I can understand why; if I didn't know that this was District 11, I would think that he was a Career! Coren was built like a bull - tall, strong, and handsome. His eyes were a piercing bright blue, and when he stared straight at the cameras, I swear it was like he was looking right through me! I shivered at the sight of his tanned skin and shock of glossy black hair. Coren was a DREAMBOAT!
Vogue seemed to think so, too. She stared at him with eyes wide and mouth slightly open. It took the Mayor coughing for her to snap back to reality and ask Coren "How old are you, dreamy?" Coren, still emotionless (Gah, that's getting annoying. Why can't the guy show some enthusiasm? He gets to come to the Capitol! He should be rejoicing!), stated his age in a monotone. "Seventeen," he stated flatly. Then, without waiting for the bewildered Vogue, he turned faced his fellow tribute, shook her hand, and stepped to the microphone. "We are your Tributes for District 11 this year. Now, we go to our deaths. Thank you."
Vogue managed to focus in time to lead them off the stage and into the Justice Building. She seemed so shocked that the emotionless, robotic male tribute had dared to take over her position and announce that he and Cinnamon were the District Tributes. Serves her right for taking her time and zoning out on Coren!
Yes, I know that Coren sounds slightly familiar. Upon reading the Tribute submission, I noticed that he was almost a dead ringer for Thresh. Strong, tall, emotionless, African-American. So, I decided to modify him a little. My sincere apologies to Juggernaut661. Hopefully, people will get the moral of this lesson: no original Hunger Games tributes or look-alikes. From now on, anyone who seems like any HG originals will be severely modified. Thank you!
