Claudius Templesmith finished up with the District 2 tributes and moved on to District 3. As always, the feamle was first. He did not pay much attention to her. She hadn't really done anything for him to take an intrest in her. Once she was finished, the orange-haired host looked over to Rain and his face went blank. "Wha-What are you doing here," Cladius questioned, stammering through his scentence. "What a wonderful introduction," Rain replied in a sarcastic tone. Claduis, remebering where he was, cnapped out of his terrified trance. "Oh, yes. My mistake. Rain Ermalon, your up!' Rain eased over to Claudius's podium. He was immediatly asked a question. "So Rain, On a scale of 1 to 10- 10 being the highest of course- How devastated where you when you heard you were choosen for the 42nd annual Hunger Games? " "Hmmm, let me think. An arena filled with 42 people. Only one person has the chance to come out, leaving you with the conclusion that you will have to murder another human being." Their was a short silence in the room, and an odd look on Claduius Templesmith's face. Like he was trying to say "Don't say it!" Rain smiled and turned back towards the audience. "I'd say about a 2." The crowd began to murmer wildly, and Rain could do nothing but smirk at their excpected reaction. "Let's move on," said the host who's patience was dying out. "Can you tell us your favorite thing about the captiol?" Rain tapped his chin and looked up to his left, as if he was in deep thought. "Well, nothing actually. I don't really like you all. Your too loud, and I can never seem to get on your bad side. The place where I would enjoy being quite a lot. It's always so happy and joyful and you guys live life as a game. You need to understand what It's like for all of us back in the Disticts. That's the only reason I'm bombing the city." The whole place froze in an instant. "Bomb?" "Already? Well okay, if you insist." Rain ripped away his metallic jacket and black shirt, to reveal a black device strapped to his chest. The crowd shreiked with terror and instantly ran for the doors, attempting to escape. Claudius backed away slowly and dropped the microphone, prepared to sprint full speed. "Oh calm down you bunch of babies," Rain ripped the tape recorder of his chest and placed it on the ground, revealing a string that attached to it. He could swear he felt May's eyes burning through his head. Feeling so stupid that she forgot to do a last minute check-up. The crowd sat back down, murmuring in anger. The buzzer went off, signaling it was the end of Rain's interview. "Well, seems that's it for me. Stay safe folks!" Rain walked back over to his seat and crossed his leg, looking over to his right and waiting for District 4 to begin.

Finally it was Suki's turn.
"Suki! Youre up!" Claudius says and Suki steps onto the stage. She was glad her designer gave her hewls, she looked much taller.
"So, what was going through your mind when your name was called on Reaping Day?" He asks her.
"Well I was actually in shock. I mean my name was in like 5 tines? The odds certainly weren't in my favor." Suki laughs a little at the end.
"I think we all agree with you. So how are you liking everything so far? Are you excited about the games?" He says.
"I'm liking everything here. It's so different from home! The food is so wonderful, I eat myself sick most of the time. I can't get enough!" I gush, "But honestly I'm not too excited about the games. I'm not a very outdoorsy person, but I'm sure I can cope." Suki say.
"Well we all wish you luck." Claudius says then the timer buzzes and Suki goes back to her seat.

Hawk yawned at district 3's bluff. He knew that in the arena that wouldn't have been a bluff, but this wasn't the arena. He watched the crowd begin to run and just stayed where he was. Then he watched the guy move back to his seat as the bell rang.

Lavender heard the buzzing go off. It was her turn, finally. The audience's applause grew thunderous and then quickly faded. She sat, hoping she didn't look as nervous as she felt.
Claudius Templesmith flashed a blinding smile, and she hoped he slight flinch hadn't been recorded. As he talked, she smothered her giggles. "So, Lavender, charming name, how are you feeling about going into the arena this year?" A current of answers flooded her mind, but none could be shown on television. Instead, she offered a stunning smile, and said,"Oh, it's a great honor! Even if I lose, I'm sure I will always be remembered, in my District, in the Capitol, and in the rest of the Districts, too!" As the words were coming out of her mouth, she knew it was a complete load of BS. Nobody remembered the tributes, unless he was impaled thirteen times and then eaten. "And your favorite part of being here, in the Capitol?"
She thought of spitting on him and saying That's what I think of your Capitol and all the scum that lives here. But instead, she said,"Oh everything is so glamorous, I could live here forever!" She hoped she didn't seem as plastic as she felt. This banter went on until the buzzer went off. She left and felt like throwing up.

Suki leaves after the boy tribute for district 12 finished his interview. Her prep team and designer congratulated her. Even her mentor patted her on the back. She mumbles her thanks as they all head up for dinner. "Do you think you can make the tattoo on my back permanent before the games tomorrow?" Suki asks her designer. "I will right after dinner." She says and smiles at Suki. Suki smiles back and eats her dinner happily. After dinner Suki was laying face down on her bed. She pressed a pillow to her face as her designer made the tattoo permanent. "Your name shouldve been Rose. The color suits you perfectly." My designer says. She let out a small laugh of approval. When she was done she helped Suki put a shirt on and change her pants so she didn't hit the tattoo too much. Suki slept soundly that night, knowing her fate made going through this so much easier.

Countdown was almost over. One more day until the Games. Excitement ran through Rain's veins at the speed of sound. He could not wait to get in there and go wild. What made it even better was that there was a hot shot assasin in there. He had never killed an assasin, but he imagined it wouldnt be much harder than trying to kill any other human being. Skipping Dinner, Rain put into his pajamas, slithered into his slik sheets, and rested peacefully, knowing that by tomorrow, he would have a chance to kill 23 people. What made it better, no laws in the arena. Only unlucky lives to be lost.

Suki wakes up in the morning and looks into the eyes of her designer. "Hey." Suki mumbles and rubs her eyes. "Hey." Her designer says and hugs Suki. "I hate seeing you go in there." She says and pulls away. "Well there's nothing we can do." She says and gets up. They go eat breakfast then Suki is brought to be dressed. Her designer dresses her in tight black clothes, very sturdy. She slips into the boots and warm jacket. "This will keep all of your body heat in." Her mentor says. A while later she is in the tube waiting. She stops breathing as the platform begins to go up.

-7:00 am-
It was impossible for Rain to stay alseep. His eyes refused to close. He was like a little kid who had a school feild trip tomorrow. Even if he TRIED to get a good night's sleep, he would eventually think more about the arena, and sleep would slip away with every thought.
-8:00 am-
Brushing his teeth in the shower. Muti-tasking was a little peeve of his. If he was doing one thing, he awlays had to be doing another. He got out and slipped the clothes that he had worn here on. His stylist would meet up with him later. He did not know what to do. The time he was supposed to be up was 9:30 am, but he knew THAT would not be possible. Rain walked up to the rooftop and stared out onto the capitol. Lit roads, people already up and about, and rainbow filled streets. The colors of the clothes from, the citzens were overwhelming. Rain almost went blindd trying to observe them.
-9:00 am-
May trotted into the dining room, as preppy as ever. "Good morning!" Rain groaned at the annoying attitude. It just HAD to be May who ruined the one day when he was happiest. "Well someboy woke up on the wrong side of the pillow." An avox boy came and put down a sliver tray. He opened it up and a delightful smell emerged from it. Bacon, scrambled egges, blueberry pancakes, butttered toast, and a small scent of freshly squeezed orange juice. Rain wasted not one minute to dig in. Going back for seconds, then thirds, and eventually fourths. "Slow down hotshot," May said casually, taking a sip of her dark coffee. "You don't want a stomach ache in that arena. Especially on the very first day." Rain scoffed behind his bacon and threw it down on the plate. "Whatever, I was done any way." May smiled a leaned across the table to tap her finger on his nose. "Sure you were."
-9:45 am-
Rain looked at his outfit in the mirror of the dressing room. An all black wife beater. His pants were a gray and black camo design, and his shoes were sharp tipped, jet black, combat boots. To top it off, he had a headband around his forehead reaching down to his shoulder blades, that had that same little electrical current flowing through it. May could be the most annoying person Rain had ever met, but when it came to fashion, she knew her bisnuess. He looked absolutely ready for combat. Adding an extra District 3 flare with the headband. Rain smiled a bit and left to go and mentally prepare himself for the arena.
-11:40 am-
Rain stood under the arena, all sorts of feelings tingling inside of him. One in particular was, of course, excitement. He was so anxious to get in there that his heart began to skip beats. May and Rain's mentor met him before he went into the glass tube. May just smiled politely and softly gave Rain a, "Good Luck." Sort of like she had lost her normal, bubbly personality. Maybe it pained her to see people going to the certain deaths. Maybe she could not bear the thought of what Rain may do to the other tributes. Or maybe, even after how rude Rain was to May, she came to like him. The mentor stood a little more distanced, scoffing. Rain jolted his shoulders up and held his arms out. "Any advice?" He snarled and replied rudely. "Your a 'Big Time' murderer. You'll figure it out. Dumb p***k." Rain smiled at him and gave a thumbs up.
-11:58-
Two minutes. Two minutes until it all began. Until Rain got a chance. An incredible chance to live life to the fullest! Rain steps into the tube and it closes behind him. After May waves one last time, he begins to rise up, and eventually reaches the very top. Looking out, he can see the other tributes. Trying to keep on their poker face. Some doing a very good job of it. Claudius Templesmith comes on the microphone, giving the same speech he does every year. Rain did not pay much attention to the words coming out of the invisible speaker. All he looked at was the tributes. "Okay, I'll kill him first. Then maybe her, and after that...hmm." It was a fustrating choice. Maybe he could go after the other assasin and just get rid of him before he caused trouble. But on the other hand, it could be better to prove to that District 12 girl that flaunting her goods in training was not a good idea. Decision, Decisions.
-12:00-
A loud buzzer went offf and the tubes opened with great force behind them. Rain instantly jumped out and ran towards a large green bookbag. It was towards the left of Cornicoupia, and was not hanging on anything specific. Probaly to heavy TO hang. It poked out in multiple places and there was a hint of metal sticking out of some holes. Sharp weapons. Maybe even more. It was obvious this bag was meant for Rain. He got to the bag annd began to sweep it up, but another girl c ame and grabbed it other strap. In a struggled voice, Rain tried to reason with her. "Hey honey, I think it would be better if you let the bag go so you live a little longer." She scoffed and began to snatch harder. "I think it would be better if you shut the **** before your *** gets hurt." Rain laughed out loud and shurgged. "If you insist." He quickly unzipped the bag, ang grabbed short swrod. About the length of a fan wing. He slid it across her neck and she instantly let go of the bookbag. "Oh my god my first kill! I hope there's a camera in this bag!" Rain felt knives qhizzing past his body and knew it was time to go.
((I was never told what the exact layout for the arena was, So I'm just gonna make it up. To the East, there is a large forest. Up North, you will find large, snowy, mountain tops. To the West there are Suburban houses and small, fast-food places. Like a regualr Town. And finally, down South,
there are very large plains. Grass as high as your chin.))
He Ran towards the Suburban neighoorhood and took shelter in a small orange house.

As soon as the gong sounds Suki takes flight, she reaches the Cornucopia and snatches random objects. She dodged weapons as she went. She makes a beeline for the tall grasses, she was short therefor, unseen. She runs for a while longer then stops to examine her supplies. Dried fruit and beef, water containers, a few knives, a sleeping bag, a backpack, and a spear. She smiles and packs up the small stuff and begins to hike. Her spear was taller than her. She kept it in a ready position, hopefully she'll learn how to use it soon.

Lavender stepped into the tube and went up. She closed her eyes and it went dark. When she opened them she was on the platform, waiting for the gong. As soon as it sounded, she backflipped over the battle and grapped small packs, and a knife. She took off running, not daring to look back, afraid of the blood being shed. She settled down in a rocky terrain, cold with fear. She opened the packs, and found a waterskin, several pieces of dry meat and fruit, and several knives of various sizes. She sighed. I guess I'll have to drink the bacteria in the water, she thought dryly.

She hears many footsteps advancing behind her. 'Careers' Sge thinks and sighs. Stop or run? Better to make allies, if it doesn't work out she can always kill one and make a run for it. She turns and faces the Career Pack, a sweet smile playing at her lips. They stop in front of her, covered in blood. Most of it probably wasn't theirs. One of the boys smiles at her. "Well, if it isn't the little District 12 girl. What's the matter? Legs let you down, or are you looking for allies." He says. "Allies, but you weren't my first choice." She says. He frowns at this. "Well, you were on my first to die list." He says and pulls out a knife. Suki turns and runs, but one of his knives cuts into her back. She let's out a cry of pain but keeps moving.
