I start to board the train after I settled down. Then I look around for my mentor, Silvia Old.
She seems concentrated on a book and doesn't even acknowledge me.
I try to start a conversation with her and try to know how to win the games.
She sighs and closes the book. "Later, ok?" She asks, then walks to the dining cart.
I follow, because I'm starving too.
I'm just a family from district 11 after all and we rarely have something to eat.
I trot over and stuff myself with breads, noodles in a broth, (Ramen 8D) meat covered with orange sauce and a hot creamy liquid.

As soon as Koen boarded the train, he was overcome by the lure of food and, realizing he'd hadn't eaten all day, immidentily took it upon himself to gorge himself on the rich goose covered in plum sauce, and a rather sweet type of tea, opposed to the bitter drink they usually had on holidays.
The entire meal started to sicken him after a while, for he'd never eaten a meal so rich in his life.
"Slow down." a gruff voice commanded.
Startled, Koen almost fell out of his highly decorated chair.
"You're gunna make yourself sick. Heavens know I did the first time. Hehehe."
The mentor, Koen remembered his name to be Treve Amare, was a gruff, almost hard-looking Barlog, with a stern face.
"Uhh...Okay." Koen said blankly, slowly coming back to reality for the first time since seeing the food.
"Yes, Dearie!" a high pitched voice, which could only belong to the Escot Onny. "You're eating like an animal! Tsk, I expected better!"
'And I expected someone who didn't have blue fur.' Koen thought harshly, but held his tounge.
"So, Uh, Treve?" the Chimera was slowly remembering why he was here. "What...Strategies do you have for the game?"
"I think we should wait for Kneve before discussing that; I hate repeating myself."
"Oh."
Koen sulked, forgetting that he would be in this death match going against someone from his own district. A GIRL, too. Kneve...Wasn't she from the wealthier part of District Nine?

cynt5100 • 14 May 2012 at 10:04 PM

I ran into my room as soon as I got on the train. I saw the rest of my distict flash by. I just wanted to escape. Instead, I jumped into the bed and slept. In two hours, the attendant told me to eat. I reluctantly got up, and walked into the main room for the first time. There was food everywhere. I sat down and started eating.
"At least ONE tribute has table manners." the Onny huffed.
I stared at her before liking my plate clean. The guy tribute and victor both laughed with me at the Onny's expression. After, I returned to "orderly eating" as the Onny liked to call it.
"Manners are so important in order to get sponsors." the Onny babbled. I really hated her.

taffy789 • 14 May 2012 at 11:37 PM

@cynt5100 -Oh, Koen wouldn't laugh to save his life. XD Maybe a chuckle, if anything. XD
Also, you can also control the Mentor..Or you can ask @linpug if you can make another.

Koen was amused that Kneve annoyed the Escot, but showed dissimulation. Instead, he pulled his scarf a bit higher up around his muzzle.
Kneve...He didn't know her. He WAS lower class, after all. Though he wasn't THAT poor, for he still had enough food on the table at home...
Then a sudden realization came over him. He had know idea how to gather any food except for grain and other wheats. How was he supposed to survive the Games?
Scowling, Koen sulked a bit more than usual.
"Oh, don't slouch!" Sara the freaky blue Onny scolded him once more.
"Ah, she's right you know, the Capitol citizens love posture! Unless you're going for the whole, "wild beast" look." Treve chuckled.
Koen scowled again and sat up.
"So, Kneve, Koen, how are you two doing?" Treve asked with a hint of mockery in his voice.

(OCC: Am I typing too much? XD I just think this is fun. X3 Sorry! XD )

cynt5100 • 15 May 2012 at 10:39 PM

@taffy789 I don't care *sits on* XD

Can we talk strategies? I asked. "I want to know everything we need."
Treve stared at me. He seemed to try to figure out if I was kidding. "I'll play it by year." he said "giving you tips when you need them." he suddenly got a very serious look on his face. He turned to Koen and I "It's going to take 2 and a half days to get to the Capitol. Let's start with the opening ceremonies."

Treve told us about getting sponsors. He told us about not complaining with the prep teams or stylists. He asked about our strengths, and he taught us how to make a good first impression. We talked for an hour, untill the escort told us that it was time to watch the reaping recaps.

linpug • 15 May 2012 at 11:01 PM

@taffy789 No. xD This is a literate roleplay after all. xD I wish I could type as much as you.

Soon, I started to get a stomach ache.
The rich food has been to much for me.
I slouched down in my chair groaning.
The Ambrie hopped cheerfully into the room.
"Oh, do stop that horrible noise! You sound like an animal!"
"I am!" I said with a chuckle.
She snorted and started to sit down to eat.
The way the ate was so amusing. She cut the tiniest bites with her fork, slowly put it in her mouth then dabbed the corners of her mouth and this way it would take her forever to finish.
I, on the other had just ripped of a piece and stuffed it in my mouth.
It's so strange how Capitol people act.
Saliva Old walked in a minutes later and sat down at the seat across from me.
I tried to start the conversation and said, "So, your supposed to give me tips on how to win the games?" I asked politely.

taffy789 • 16 May 2012 at 9:21 PM

@linpug okay then. X)
Reminding: @Balletninja : Sorry if I'm bothering. D:

"Yeah, yeah. Act nice." Koen muttered, not paying attention to the dealings.
"What I really want know is how to survive...But I'll ask you in private."
Koen stared back down at his plate, glaring.
Kneve. He wasn't going to talk to her.
Why?
He was expected to kill her later.
'I shouldn't ask important things around her.' Koen thought,' But what if I should? She could be useful, and maybe she wouldn't kill me then. Could you eveb try that buddy-buddy tactic? I seriously doubt it could work on anyone in District 1. Stupid careers.'
"Ohohoh, with that dirty look you're giving your dinner plate, I think you should try the cold and mysterious edge." Treve laughed, now smoking a pipe.
Sara crumpled her nose. "No smoking at the table."
Treve sighed, and put the pipe out.
"Sara, if we had things your way, the Games would be fought with daisies." the Barlog sighed.

cynt5100 • 23 May 2012 at 6:03 PM

I really tried to be nice to Koen. He had a family too. I guess I just knew how scared I was, so he should be too. We watched the recap, knowing that we had to kill these people later. There were many older kids, wich did nothing for my nerves.

Nyx flinched as three creatures came up to her. A Flickle, a Bellato, and a Blu were the stylists. They tussled her fur and styled it and dyed her fur and washed it and got her ready for Lenia the Brohu. Finally she was brought to Lenia.

"Hmmm... Interesting." Lenia muttered. She began to look through many clothes. "There we go." Lenia said in triumph. She had picked out a (blank article of clothing*) that looked like ice. "The ice queen. Fitting for a Nym." Lenia said.


*= I can't think of any clothes for Nyx to wear!

linpug • 28 May 2012 at 1:39 PM

@blackdeathkitty Thanks for posting. 😊
I was afraid this was going to die. D:
xD

Twitch ~ 11
I waited impatiently for my stylist to come. Saliva sensed my unease and told me to settle down. I groaned. Finally, my crew made it's appearance. There was a calla named, " Truffles" A Eyleymo named "Crystalina" and a luvlei named, " Secratra"(Random names O.o)

They gave me a haircut, cut my claws and did all sorts of things to me. Finally, they gave me a mirror, so I can see myself. It was the first time I ever saw my entire self. At home, we only have a broken piece of small glass, so we can see ourselves. I admired the work the did and smiled to know how much I appreciated it.

Soon, my stylist, an Adarna, walked into the room. I soon found out her name was "Celeste"

bunnyshadow • 28 May 2012 at 1:40 PM

Sylvia stepped off the train, to see that three stylists were waiting to drag her to do her Makeover. She sighed and slowly walked after. When they arrived at the room, the Ahjoon began shrieking about her fur. The solis tarted digging through a cabinet for lotion and the Flofbite started a bath.

taffy789 • 28 May 2012 at 2:01 PM

"Oh, we're appoarching the Capitol!" Sara clapped her hands happily as the entire train passed under a tunnel, making all the lights go out.
Koen looked up, and watched the window from a distance.
He slowly got up, and, curious, blankly peered outside.
Creatures covered in all sorts of weird clothing, with dyed fur and bejeweled scales waved as the Tribute train passed.
The Chimera made no effort to wave back, instead, he simply pulled his scarf a bit tighter around his neck.
"I am going to advise you not to do that, they love a nice friendly Tribute." Treve called from the table.
'Why?', Koen thought angrily to himself, his paw tightening into a fist, 'It's not like any of these people are my FRIENDS. They're going to cheer as they watch me die, for goodness sake!'
With that angry thought still in his head, Koen was hurriedly pushed out of the train by Sara, and was whisked away to go be "scrubbed clean" by his assistant stylists, a petite second-stage Tine, Tilli, and a Yuki, Deedee.

bunnyshadow • 28 May 2012 at 2:14 PM

When the Stylists were done, what fur Sylvia had were dyed black. Her tail fins were glowing silver from glitter and her claws were shining and filed sharp. They seemed to have made up her face and body, and real jewels were in her fur and in small bracelets around her limbs and tail.

linpug • 28 May 2012 at 8:56 PM

Celeste examined me, trying to figure out what costume I should have, and what personality I should do for my interview. I was very small, so I knew the best choice I had was pretending to be weak, then when they underestimate me, I show them my stuff.

I went to my hotel, where I was to stay until the games. My bedroom was huge. Bigger than our entire house. I was soon fell asleep.

I was called out, because my stylist was done doing the outlines of my dress, and he wanted to know if it was going to fit. My first draft of my dress singed of spring. It was blue, with a green sparkly translucent layer over the bottom half of the dress. Separating the bottom half and the top, was a belt of flower buds. On the front half, there was green swirls, just like vines. Then, my shoes looked as if it was made of wheat, which we harvested in district 11. I also had a small necklace that was a blue, which we had many in our district.

cynt5100 • 29 May 2012 at 3:58 PM

I looked out the window as Koen walked away. Treve looked at me expactantly
"Fine," I said "but I won't enjoy it."
He smiled at me as I went up smiling and waving at the freeked-out creatures. They pointed at me and started yelling things I couldn't hear.

"It's time to go." Treve said about 5 minutes later. "You have to go to the remake center. Remember everything I told you. Don't fight, no matter what they do. I'll see you and Koen after the parade." Then I was whisked away to be re-made, what ever that ment.

Deleted • 29 May 2012 at 4:09 PM

Lenia inspected Nyx for a while. After what seemed like a lifetime, Lenia shouted; "I got it!" She began to sketch out a drawing of Nyx's outfit. "You will be the ice princess." she smiled. Nyx looked at her. Lenia then made and outfit for Nyx. It was a blue dress, very simple. "Ummm... Doesn't the Capitol like fancy, special clothing?" Nyx asked. "Yes, but you see, this is no ordinary dress." Lenia laughed. "The second that you raise your arm into the sky, ice will cover your dress."

Nyx nodded eagerly. "May I try it?" she asked. Lenia smiled and gave the dress to Nyx. She raised her paw into the air, and her dress was covered in icy spikes.

cynt5100 • 29 May 2012 at 4:38 PM

Before I knew it, I was in the center. They cut, dyed, washed, and dryed my fur until it looked sleek and shiny. They they said to wait while they got a Maskey named Lucinda.

taffy789 • 29 May 2012 at 5:57 PM

After Tilli and Deedee finished masicuring Koen's "unruley" mane, Ally, a beautiful, Last-Stage Adarna, came sweeping out into the room.
"Hello dearie."
Koen fought the urge to stick out his tounge, for the voice seemed to be filled with too much honey.
The adarna scuntinized him for a few seconds, eyeing him up and down before finally letting out a loud, annoying laugh.
"You seem strong! Maybe there will be a winner from District Nine this year...Hmm...But it doesn't seem there is much to work with in the dressy department..." The last part was clearly meant to be kept to herself, but the Stylist's voice was loudly-pitched enough to be heard all the way in District 12.
Koen forced back the tounge-lashing he was about to give Ally, and simply attempted to dig his claws into the metal floor, dreaming that the floor was really the rich soil that he was so fond of, and he was back in District Nine with his unperfect life and loving family, instead of on Death Row.

@linpug (Yay! Me)


So so sorry I have been inactive. D: Time for the opening ceremonies! 8D

Twitch ~ 11
Celeste told me that the flower buds on my belt will open up into magnificent flowers, when I'm rolling on stage.
I nod, and then it's time for the opening ceremonies.

I board my carriage, nervous what the capital citizens would think of me.
Suddenly it hits me, if I'm playing the role or weak, then I most likely wouldn't get a single sponsor.
I wonder what my mentor is planning for me, but it's not my place to question what she does.


District 11's carriage goes almost last, so I get to see the others costume. District one goes first, and I wait to see the other tributes costumes.

taffy789 • 23 June 2012 at 12:58 PM

Uneasy about what was to come, Koen nervously shifted side-to-side in his carriage.
His tux seemed to be made of a light brown color, and had a texture that reminded him of the different grain types they harvested in his District. He could easily recongize many of them off the bat, and started to name them in his head to past the agonizing wait.
The people... They weren't going to like him, were they? He tugged at the sleeves of his tux, butterflies afloat in his stomach.
Koen wondered if he shoudl just face the facts.
He was going to die a painful, slow death at the hands of some murderous career, sponserless, friendless, and mostly likely already dying of hunger.
...Yep.
This was looking pretty bleak so far.

bunnyshadow • 23 June 2012 at 7:08 PM

Selena stepped outside, and found that the opening ceremonies were going to begin soon. She walked over to her chariot. The District 1 chariot was silver and had gems inlaid all over it, with beautiful Iccilah's in the front.

Selena got in, and waited for the signal that the ceremony was going to begin.

@linpug

linpug • 23 June 2012 at 10:18 PM

Thanks for the ping! 😃

Twitch~11

The signal sounded, and I tried to clear my throat.
My carriage started rolling out of the station and I saw thousands of Capitol reasidences staring at me expectantly.
It's funny how many of the creatures look. Many of them old trying desperately to look young and dyed strange colors. I look at the first carriage. And see a beautiful Draqua, Which I believe her name is Selene.
