The Hunger Games discussion

((Btw we already know who is chosen. These games take place after the second rebellion, and after a rebellion of the capitol who then reinstated the games. Also the mods have said that the rule change from the 74th, two tributes may win if they are from the same district, is valid. 🙂))
Sala tied up her boots, mentally checking off the days till the games.

Sala stood up, grabbing her jacket, walked out, planning to sneak into the woods to practice throwing knives.

Elina laces her boots up tightly. She is going to have to start training now if she had even a slight chance of winning the Games. And she has to win the Games.

"Elina, wait!" Leto yells, running up behind her. "Wait up!" He trips (he's very clumsy)

Elina turns around. "Leto..."

"What?"

"Aren't you going to wait for me?" he says, half smiling

"Yes, I will. Just...be quiet. I wanna hunt."

"Okay, can I go with you?"

"Only if you're quiet," says Elina with a small smile.

"I'll try," he says, "But you know I'm clumsy."

She throws her hands up, exasperated. "Then you shouldn't come with me if you want dinner!"

"Eli-naaaaaaaaaaa" he whined. "You know I need the practice to get ready for the Hunger Games. Don't you want me to survive?" He says, partially joking but mostly serious.

Elina bites her lip and looks at the ground. "Fine. Be careful, though." She walks up to the fence surrounding District 12, which was supposed to be electrified but never was. She listens for the telltale buzz of electricity and when she doesn't hear it she slips through a hole in the fence.

"Okay, I will" he rolled his eyes, and climbed over the fence

He dropped down next to her, "So" he said whispering, "which way should we go?"

She shakes her head and carefully walks through the woods, being careful to avoid dry sticks or leaves that would alert animals to her presence.

He mirrors her, and is for once mostly silent (key word: mostly)

Elina looks at Leto and presses a finger to her lips, annoyed. Then when she turns back around she freezes as she spots a turkey. She slowly grabs an arrow out of her quiver. She puts it in the bow and aims, then releases the arrow. It goes right in the turkey's eye and it falls over, dead.

"Nice kill," Leto says. "Can I talk now or are we still being quiet?" he picks up the turkey

"Well, I guess we can take a short break, but generally when you're hunting you want to be quiet."
