The reason that the Reapings are not in any type of sensible order is because Aurora (the Capitolite) missed the original Reapings because of her boss. Hence, Aurora is watching the recorded Reapings in a willy-nilly order. That and I and my co-author have not only split up the districts, but have been doing the Reapings depending on how which Districts are full and which ones aren't.
Aurora Austriallis, Capitolite (diary entry 2.1)
So, I took a nice long, hot bath before watching the district three reaping. I watched it with a box of fat free chocolates and a nice glass of red wine in hand. Good thing the chocolates were fat free, because I SO do not need any extra weight. I really need a hot boyfriend.
Anyway, the reaping in three was kind of interesting. The reaping bowls were the bridge thingies again, and the escort, Adrian Artisan, was soooo dreamy. He had a bronze tan, chocolate colored eyes, and brown hair so dark that it was almost black. He was wearing tight leather pants with black boots, a tight black shirt that promised at least a six-pack of abs, and a leather jacket. The only decoration he had was leather studded bracelets, black stud earrings, a lot more pierces on his face, and heavy black eyeliner. I didn't hear a word he said until he said this;
"I know almost everybody reaps the lovely ladies first, so I'm going got reap the boys first." He waggled his perfect eyebrows. I just about melted. He reached his ring-less left hand (score!) into the bridge- shaped reaping bowl.
"Viole Ro!" Heads turned in the crowd to the second row, where the thirteen-year-olds were. An Asian boy with shoulder length black hair wearing a navy blue shirt with black pants and black leather shoes, walked to the stage. He was only about five foot five and a slender kid. He was biting his lip. I could see tears in his black wide set eyes. His lip began to bleed.
"VIOLE!" A girl's voice cried out. Viole's head snapped to the direction of the voice. It was from a girl in the thirteen year old girls. I didn't get a good look at her before the camera switched back to Adrian. I didn't mind because, dang, that man was eye-candy.
"How old are you?" Adrian asked.
"Thirteen." Viole's voice was quiet.
"Next, we are going to have our female Tribute." Adrian plunged a hand into the bridge shaped reaping bowl. He took a paper out. "Roxy Larose!" Heads turned to the eighteen year olds.
"WAIT, I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER!" A frantic Asian girl ran out from the thirteen year olds. I nearly spit out my wine when I saw that she and Viole were identical! She was wearing a light yellow blouse with a high-waisted navy blue skirt, a pair of black leather shoes and a blue ribbon around her neck. She ran up to the stage.
"Well, it looks like we have a Volunteer." Adrian raised a pierced eyebrow. "What's your name?"
"Viola Ro. I'm thirteen years old." I couldn't help but notice that she took Viole's hand.
"Is Viole your twin brother?" Adrian asked.
"Yes."
"Ladies and gentlemen, your District 3 Tributes for the 99th Annual Hunger Games!" Then, just as that dreamy Escort was about to have the twin Tribute shake hands, my stupid ex- boss called AGAIN! Why won't he just leave me alone? I'm seriously thinking of blocking his number!
"Aurora, I need a favor..."
