The Hunger Games discussion

Here are the training scores! Your character can see both their own scores and everyone else's. In the spoilers are the reasons for each score. Those who didn't RP at all in the training days got a 4. Don't argue with the mods over a character's score, okay? It doesn't really mean much once you're actually in the arena. Post maybe one or two posts with your characters' reactions, if you'd like!

D1F: Taffeta Crey - 9 (view spoiler)[The Capitol likes her pride, her attitude. Plus, she's fast and good with weapons. However, her unwillingness to kill heavily affects her score. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D2F: Naja "Arcana" Ashlock - 12 (view spoiler)[To them, she seems like their perfect career girl. Strong, skilled, intelligent, brutal. They can't see any weaknesses she has, and the bets on her winning? Extremely high. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D2M: Markus Page - 6 (view spoiler)[He's a competitor with his strength, and he's from a career district, but they think he's too soft for the way he wants to help everyone. Plus, he hasn't done much in the Training Days. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D3F: Asora Tarani - 7 (view spoiler)[ She's smart and good with technology, and they're interested to see what she does in the games. However, her lack of skill with weapons and the district she comes from knocked her score down a few points. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D4F: Alisha Brown - 4 (view spoiler)[Hasn't done any RPing in the training days. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D4M: Carwyn "Kitt" Arledge - 11 (view spoiler)[A strong competitor and a brilliant fighter. He knows what he's doing, and his sarcasm and sass are very entertaining to the Capitol. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D5F: Vera Levisay - 10 (view spoiler)[The Capitol is very interested in the girl from district five. With her mysterious past and personality and strength and skill, they're all on the edges of their seats to see how she does in the Games. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D7F: Lamina Chreshin - 4 (view spoiler)[Hasn't RPed in the training days at all. (hide spoiler)]
D7M: Nathaniel Evers - 4 (view spoiler)[Hasn't RPed in the training days at all. (hide spoiler)]
D8F: Hero Blair - 5 (view spoiler)[She's skilled but not really enough for them to consider. She's kind of just another Tribute - a bit of an underdog. [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]
D9F: Riley Lark - 3 (view spoiler)[She doesn't stand out to them. Her lack of confidence and skill aren't winning her many favors, and very few people believe she has the strength to win. [Rue] (hide spoiler)]
D10F: Saiya Burns - 7 (view spoiler)[The Capitol likes her personality and chaos, and even though she's from a pretty low District she still has some skills that they think might be useful. [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]
D10M: Alren Dobry - 6 (view spoiler)[Because he's strong and has some skills. He also looks strong physically, so they think he might be a contender. There aren't many bets on him though. [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]
D11F: Zulema Briar Harlan - 6 (view spoiler)[They think she's strong material and could be a good bet, but not many people are all too interested in D11. She's a threat, but not enough of one in their eyes. [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]
D11M: Clark Jones - 5 (view spoiler)[People don't know what to think of him. He's competition, but also a little unstable to them, and the Capitol has a history of having killed off unstable Tributes [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]
D12F: Primrose Callistro - 6 (view spoiler)[She's sweet and pretty smart. A few people are betting on her because she's an underdog. But mostly she doesn't seem like a threat. Her skill with plants and poisons could be useful, but this girl just doesn't seem like their Victor. They're willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for some parts, but still. [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]
D12M: Crofton Fletcher - 4 (view spoiler)[He's good with plants but not much else. Not really noticed or supported [Firelily] (hide spoiler)]

A seven. Not bad. Saiya bounced on the balls of her feet, looking over everyone else's scores. Naja had gotten a perfect twelve, something she'd never seen happen before. Maybe she should start avoiding her. Or at the very least, stop staring whenever she did something relatively cool. Saiya didn't want to make herself a clear-cut target for anyone, especially someone with a score like that. Kitt too, she thought, eyeing his eleven, and Vera.

Naja stared at the number that flashed after her name and photo. A perfect twelve. Just what she'd wanted - what she'd expected, really. She would have been livid to see an eleven.
That had been Jules' score. He'd been a favorite, a crowd-pleaser, and a major threat. But he'd been too young for them to think he deserved a full score.
Bryell had gotten a twelve, too.
Once, Naja would have been ecstatic. Would have flashed all the other Tributes a dark smile, a promise that she would live up to her number. Would have thrown her midnight hair back in self-satisfied glory. Would have laughed to herself, knowing that Bryell waited for her in the Victor's Village or at the Academy.
Now, it was only another battle won.
Another mark shot.
One more step closer to bringing down the Games.

Prim looked at her score. It qas more than she thought she would have gotten. "A six?" She asked out loud, quietly. She shook her head, a small smile was forming on her lips. Maybe she could do this; or atleast last longer than she thought. It wasnt a twelve and if Prim was being honest with herself, she never actually would have wanted the twelve. But a six?! That was more than she could have imagined. People were betting knher, they wanted her to survive. The small smile grew to a large grin on her face

Taffeta looked up at her score. "Nine?" she whispered to herself. She had thought that she might score better, but a nine was still better than most of the other tributes, so she didn't complain much. She wished she had scored higher, but it was better that she didn't. The tributes with the higher scores tended to be more desirable contenders to kill. She didn't want to be too high profile.

Asora glanced over at her score, not paying much attention to it. The scores were nothing more than just a way for others to make money betting on their deaths. She knew that the higher the score, the higher the chances for sponsors, but even if she had gotten a high score, her district was less than desirable. No one would want to sponsor her naturally. She'd have to prove herself in the arena.

She didn't care much about her score. She knew she wasn't as skilled as a lot of the other tributes, but that wouldn't deter her. She would win without a high score. She didn't need one. She looked away from her score and thought about her strategy.

Alren saw his score. He wasn't surprised. Not with tributes like Naja, Kitt, and Vera. Prim's score was actually higher than he thought it would be. It seemed like the judges liked her despite her young age. That was good.

Alren looked around at the other tributes. The Career girl who had climbed the wall with ease--Taffeta--had gotten a 9. He needed to look out for her, as well as the rest of the Careers, but so far he liked his odds. Considering he was from District 10, he was satisfied with the score he got.

Riley watched her score come up. A three. 'That's higher than I expected' They thought. Riley knew she didn't have the strength required to win, but she did have was a cunning mind. They smiled to themself. They had received the lowest score out of all the tributes, that means no one would suspect they were capable of anything. And that gave her the advantage.

Vera fixed her intense gaze on her training score. A ten. Not bad, if she did say so herself. At least now, people wouldn't underestimate her.
Wouldn't be so quick to label her as the crazy girl from district five.
No, she was more than that.
The Capitol had control.
And so did she.
She was ready to use that control against them, had built it up enough to stay steady on her feet.
She had no one left to live for but herself.

As Kitt watched his picture flash onto the screen with his training score below it, his face lit up in a triumphant grin, his sea-green eyes sparkling. Second-highest score. Could be worse. It'll help with everything, won't it? I'll get more sponsors, and even without them, I'm clearly one of the strongest competitors here. This'll be interesting. He leaned back against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched the others' scores go up.

//i kinda thought that prim would get a lower score....not even joking XD//

((So did I.....but I'm glad she didn't =D))

//lol//

Clark ignored the scores, trying to leave. He managed to jam the door shut, then kicked it frustratedly. He pulled out a knife he had slipped out of the training room and tossed it, catching the blade without hurting himself.
