Let The Hunger Games Begin! discussion

Go ahead and send in your characters to be taken to their premature deaths! :D Escorts can be played by anyone. If you have questions, please contact me! :)

Jonathan adjusted his glasses, waiting in the crowd for... Something. He was pretty sure it was a TV show, or something... He wasn't quite sure.

Lattice muttered her notes under her breath. She wasn't going to come back after these games...

Huh. There was that girl from his house, over there... He wondered if she knew what was going on.

Mostly, Lattice was not looking forward to having to spend the next week or so with Pheber. Ugh... Maybe the other tribute would be decent company. She thought of Jonathan. Nope. Not likely.

He wondered if he ought to go ask her. Would she get mad at him again? He still wasn't exactly sure what had caused her to get mad the first time... All he'd done was ask a question... Maybe it would be best not to ask her any questions. She must not like those.

((XD!))

Lattice glanced up at the stage. She really hated Reapings...

((Oh, his logic... XDXD))

He really did want I know why they were all standing here, though... And why they had to come here every year... It was odd. And why did everyone seem so sad? Why would they be sad about TV? He shook his head. He would never understand these humans...

Pheber walked to the stage to take his place. He really hated these things. " Welcome, everyone. I would like to introduce myself as Pheber Weaver. Most of you should know me. I have won the great honor and title of Victor of the hunger games. Today, we are gathered here to pick out two people. A young man and woman to compete in the 80th Hunger Games. I will be mentoring them and teaching them in the ways to survive. I hope that you all trust me with the life of your children. And with that I'm pleased to announce this year's escort, Ms.Petunia Flabor!!!!" he said, waving his hand over to the pink covered escort. She balanced lightly on her heels, and Pheber wondered how she did that. They seemed like torture devises. He took a bow once she was at the microphone. He walked over to his chair and sat down.

Lattice rolled her eyes. He was such an idiot...

((do you want me to play Petunia?))

((Sure. :) ))

((okay :) ))

Petunia looked at the crowd. Lots of dirty, filthy, glasses wearing people. "Hello everyone!!!! Thank you, Pheber, for that introduction. Let's roll the movie, brought to you, all the way from the capital. :)" she pointed to the big screen as the movie played stating the reasons for the hunger games. As it finished, she turned back to the crowd. ((hold on gotta get their names))

Lattice took a deep breath. This was it. Her name was about to be read out into the crowd.

"Ladies first" she said, reaching for a name out of the bowl. "Lattice Cascade" she read. She beckoned for the girl to come up. Once she was up there, She pulled a name out of the boys bowl. " Jonathan Hendrix" she said.

((hold on, how does she know?))

((The Reapings have been rigged to pull names from her family for the past three years. Just read her profile. ;) ))

Lattice carefully stepped up to the stage, making sure not to show emotion.
Inside she was groaning. Pheber and that Jonathan idiot? Why did the world hate her so much?

((Oh okay))

((ima gonna wait for Jonathan))

((Yup. :) ))

Huh? He looked up at the stage. Why was his name being called? Was there someone else here called Jonathan? He didn't remember signing up for any reality shows... And that girl didn't seem like the type to, either... He decided to just stay where he was, because he really wasn't sure what he was supposed to do.

"Jonathan Hendrix? Are you here? We need you up here. NOW!!" Petunia tried to stay happy but she needed this Jonathan boy.

((ha ha yeah!!!!!!))

Lattice turned and saw Jonathan not even moving. "For crying out loud, Jonathan..." she muttered, rolling her eyes.
She took her foot off the first step leading up to the stage. "Get out of my way," she told a peacekeeper, walking in Jonathan's direction.
When she reached him, she grabbed his sleeve and pulled him behind her up to the stage.

"Hey!" He said, as he was pulled toward the stage. "What're you doing? And why was my name called?" Whoops, he'd asked a question... He hoped she wouldn't get mad at him again. Although what she had against questions, he didn't know...

"You've been offered up to be killed so that Panem can keep on running smoothly. Illogical? Tell that to the Capitol. See what happens," Lattice said with another eyeroll, pulling him onto the stage.

"Killed?" He asked, looking more than slightly alarmed. She's joking, joking... Right?

"Yup. Probably brutally. With a really pointy object. By somebody else around your age, too," she said matter-of-factly.

"Um... You're joking, right?"

"Have I ever told you a joke, before?"

Pheber heard part of their conversation. He chuckled. Why was Jonathan so oblivious to the world? He barely even new what the Hunger Games were!!!




Petunia smiled and led her tributes to the train. "Now, everyone needs to get along and get in the train!!!!! When we get to the capital, you will meet your stylist." she said with a smile.

((train.....))

((I'm gonna wait for Meli to post before heading that way. :) ))

"Um... No? But people usually tell jokes... Are you sure this isn't one?"

Lattice wondered how in Panem she would be able to wait a whole week in the Capitol before murdering her district partner.

((To the train!))

((I just saw this and I swear I died laugh..."

((You know, if you ever want reading material, there was a HG role-play group that I was in that fizzled out last year. I had this charrie named Adelaide, who was a heck of a lot like Lattice. XD You should've seen what she did for her training session... XD I can send you a link, if you want. You'd just have to read some of the D5 role-plays on your own time. I re-read some of them this month. They made me laugh so much... I was so brilliant a year ago. XD))

((Gotcha! I'll pm it to you as soon as I find it. XD))

((can i have it too?))

((Yeah, sure! :)
