Hunger Games discussion

"Get Your Tracker Here!"

Reyna stuck her arm out. "Reyna, D2." The Capitol woman looked at her tattoo and shook her head. She stuck the tracker in and motioned Reyna on her way.Reyna took her seat.
Bianca held her arm out nervously. She flinched as the tracker was put in. "Next," The Capitol attendant said after it had been placed. Bianca ran to her seat, sweating.

Bianca tapped on her arm and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
Reyna tied her hair back and smiled.
Luke put his arm out. The woman put his tracker in and pushed him away. "Next, we don't have all day!" Luke took his seat and closed his eyes.

Xavia, District five." She murmured.

The Capitol Attendant Stuck the tracker into Xavia's arm. She motioned her on and put David's tracker in.

Scarlet walked in, sitting in a chair.

The Capitol person motioned for Scarlet to get her tracker.

Valerie walked in, trying to act brave but stumbled over her own feet entering the room. She tripped, grabbing for a wall. She scraped her arm on the metal wall but regained her balance. Her cheeks burned up and she kept her face low, hair shielding her eyes.

Scarlet held out her arm, preparing herself. She hated needles.

Fortisca comes and strolls coolly over to the capitol person even though her heart is hammering. She notices the pained expressions on some of the other tributes and stiffens. she relaxes her muscles only because she thinks that it might hurt more if she was tensed up.
Fortisca holds up her arm and looks the other way.

Valerie stuck her arm out for the needle. As she waited, she looked around at the others in the room.

Fortisca smiled when Valerie sees her. She whispered to her "Don't worry." Fortisca decides that she likes that girl.

The girl's reassuring words helped Valerie feel better. "Thanks," she said with a small smile.

Fortisca sat in one of the seats. Next to her was an empty one. She motioned for the girl to sit next to her.
(( This is the hunger games. May the odds be ever in your favor!)) Fortisca thought it was handy to make friends with someone while she had the chance. Plus, she knew how good it feels to hear that from a stranger in the same circumstances.

Valerie sat down beside the girl warily. She wasn't sure if she wanted to make friends with the other tributes. After all, they are in the Hunger Games. But Valerie knew that sometimes it helps to make alliances.

Fortisca shook nervously and had a hard time keeping herself still. "Heh, this sure is reminds me of the time I tried asking a guy to date me." She said still looking forward, referring to her nervousness. "I'm not meaning to be nosy, but, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Fortisca pressed. She was trying to get their minds off of what the were about to do. "Do you know how it scary it is to go up to a boy you like? And if you haven't, then I'd consider you lucky!" Fortisca giggled.

"I haven't," Valerie replied. "I never really talked to anyone." She rubbed her sweaty palms on her pants.

(( Getting Late! If you don't hear from me it's either because I'm asleep or typing!))

((Yeah, getting late for me too))

Xavia kept quiet, not trying to have anyone pay attention to her. She could use allies though, she should talk to some people. She turned to a girl beside her. "Hey I'm Xavia." She said, smiling.

Violent Vi wrote: "Xavia kept quiet, not trying to have anyone pay attention to her. She could use allies though, she should talk to some people. She turned to a girl beside her. "Hey I'm Xavia." She said, smiling."



(( Me? XD Would that be okay with you Violet? ))

Fortisca frowned. Then she shrugged. "Well, you're talking now aren't you? And hey, Aren't you Valerie?"
Fortisca swore in her head at herself.I shouldn't have asked so many things. After all, I just met her!
"Look.." Fortisca rubbed her arm. " I would understand if you'd like me to shut up. I run my mouth too much. You can tell everyone that the annoying girls' name is Fortisca." She smiled foolishly.

((Yeah))

Fortisca turned her gaze over to Xavia. "Um, Hi! Xavia, huh? Well, my name's Fortisca. Fortisca Mack." She held out her hand, waiting for Xavia to shake it.

"Uh, it fine." Valerie faltered as Fortisca turned to the other girl beside her.

((U can do the bold thing ur selves!))

Fortisca looked quickly back at Valerie and whispered. "Do you mind if I tell her your name?"

Bianca gripped her arm and looked around. Her eyes seemed sparkly and her hat was pinned to her hair.

"Um, go ahead," Valerie replied shooting a glance over at the girl beside Fortisca.

Reyna looked regale. Her hair was loose and it had fallen around her face.

Scarlet winced as the needle went into her arm. But the pain was only for a moment. She felt a little nervous of what was going to happen in the Arena.

"And this is Valerie, in case you didn't know." Fortisca pointed behind her at Valerie. Fortisca felt as though there was a little tension between them so she felt she had break up that.Fortisca considered the possibility that they could all be allies. "Hey, why do you guys seem so tense? We're only going into a fight where we're all going to die horribly. That's nothing!" Fortisca joked lightheartedly. "Don't worry, were not capable of killing each other. Besides Xavia, Valerie doesn't bite....much."Fortisca felt that it was her job to lighten the mood.She just hopped it had worked.

Valerie forced a smile. She could sense that Fortisca was trying to ease the tension and was grateful to her for it.

((We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz XD))

Fortisca smiled back at Valerie and swatted her hand like she was swatting something away."Pfft. Hunger Gaming is baby stuff." She joked. Fortisca put her long black hair up now so that she didn't have to do it in the Games.
"I wish we could have gotten to know each other better before the Games, though. I guess we were just all traumatized and stressed to care what the others thought.I don't know about you guys, but that's how I felt."Fortisca sighed, her cheery mood almost gone now that she really realized what she had to do. "I don't want to kill anyone. But especially not you two. Even if you don't like me... I won't kill you. But if you try to first.." Fortisca smirked and eyed them menacingly. "Than I can change my mind." Fortisca laughed. It wasn't the kind of witch laugh that might bring people to tears. It was a happy laugh. Fortisca was back to her joking and nice mood."I'm kidding. Oh, if only you could have seen yourselves!"
Although...secretly Fortisca had thought in her head that if they did indeed make a move to kill her because she had said that...Well, she'd have to do something in order to get back home alive.

(( If this was a story now would have been a great ending for a chapter :D))

((It would!! :D))
"I wouldn't be able to kill anyone to save my life so you don't have to worry 'bout me," Valerie said. "I'll be dead," she added with a grim smile.

Fortisca smiled broadly. "I knew you'd become a victim to my contagious disease of evil humor!" For the first time since before she was reaped Fortisca laughed like she used too. Although she did laugh a lot, none of it was her true self. She only did it because she thought she had too. That sound was a sound that could relieve anyone of stress. And it just screamed Fortisca. "But anyway, there's no way that I'm going to let you die." Fortisca vowed. She stretched her stiff arms. "I'd rather die with you."

Valerie laughed- something she very rarely did- when Fortisca did. When Fortisca said the last part, Valerie felt tears prick her eyes. She quickly blinked them away and said softly, "Thank you. And it's the same for me."

Fortisca did a content sigh. Quietly, she said to Valerie "Do you want to be official allies? You know, try not to kill each other and protect one another until the very end since we will stay alive until it's only us two left? Fortiscas freckles were starting to show when she had a patch of light that had landed on her. "Look... I already love you so much that if I could I'd marry you. Although I'm not lesbian, you know what I mean. In other words, I really like you! So... are we allies?"

Valerie thought for a minute about Fortisca's proposal but realized she didn't need to. Already, she loved Fortisca as if she were her sister. Valerie smiled and nodded, "Allies."

"May I hug you? I'm going through a lot of emotions right now."She laughed out loud at herself at how she had just said that. "Never mind...Hugs are for children. Oh well, people never grow up, do they? I need a hug." Fortisca hugged Valerie anyway. When she pulled back, Fortiscas usually pale face had turned a bright red. "I'm never doing that again."

Scarlet sat looking at the ground. She was a little nervous about the Games, but nothing more than she could handle.

"Yeah," Valerie agreed, shifting in her chair. "How 'bout we shake instead," she said with a little smile. She held out her hand.

Bianca gripped her hat and looked around.
Reyna looked at Scarlet. "You okay?"

Scarlet nodded, "Just a little nervous, never know what to expect what will happen there."

Reyna sighed. "The games are cake, I've seen you in training."
Daring stuck her arm out. "Daring Chase, D6." She winced as it went in and ran to the nearest seat which was by Fortisca. She looked around and closed her eyes. "Hi," Her voice came out squeaky and high.

Scarlet smiled, "Thanks, I'm Scarlet."

Reyna held out her hand, her tattoo showing. "Reyna,"

Scarlet shook her hand, "What district are you from?"

"D2, I've been fighting for a long time. I think I was picked 'cause I was D2's front line fighter in the rebellion." She grinned and looked around. "Every one here was voted on for the games. Not by the Capitol, by our friends, family and districts."

"I'm from D4. I think I was picked because I'm swift and I've been trained for a situation like this. Well nothing exactly like this."
