The Hunger Games discussion

To give you a little more of an edge in the games we have the Training Center. You have time to make allies, train, strategize, and give an impression of yourself to the other tributes. Who are you? What have you learned?
We're watching you.....


You can find things here such as:
Traps
Swords
Axe
Spears
Knot tying
Edible plants
Basic survival skills
and many more!

Alexis walks into the Training Centre and goes straight to the weapons rack. Picking up a hand-and-a-half sword, she moves to an open space of matt in the centre of the room. She starts going through her stances and posistions, slowly at first, graudually picking up speed until her sword is a silver blur all around her, her body moving so fast, you can barely see her movements.

Clara headed straight for the knives as soon as she walked into the Training Centre. Knowing that others would be watching her, she decided to go for the more covert way of playing down her natural talent of knife-throwing. She tossed one knife carelessly into the air, barely catching the wooden handle rather than the shining silver blade. "Oh, I would love to have a knife like this back home," Clara murmered.

Tessa entered the training center. She saw a couple of girls, and decided to sit in the corner by herself.

Emma entered the training center and cautiously looked around. She quickly but quietly made her way over to the Basic Survival Skills center.

Finishing with her sword practice, Alexis walked over to an unoccupied corner and spent 15 minutes stretching. When she was done, she moved over to the "Traps" section and spent a few hours manouvering through,under, around and over all of the traps.

Alex walked in his expression stern and almost angry, he walked toward the knot tying station, because that was one that he wasn't good at

After manouvering around through all the traps, Alexis moved to knot-tying.

((Alexis hahaha sorry i didn't c ur character name, i would have changed it, but if ya want me to i can :P))

Alex paid no attention to the people around him, he kept his eyes narrowed at the rope in his fingers, that he was trying to make into some kind of knot

Tessa exhaled stood up, and walked to the knot station. It helped relieve her stress, so she grabbed a knot and started tying without saying anything to the other two tributes.

Tessa saw the knot the male tribute was making, and slightly giggled to herself. Then tore her eyes away from his knot back to her own perfect one.

Alex looked over at the girl that was laughing at him, he scowled a bit and went back to trying to ty his own knot

((Hahaha, no don't worry :))

Alexis, tying an extremely complex knot, felt the tension leaving her shoulders. This always calmed her...

Tessa wasnt one to start a conversation, so she just sat there wondering as she tied her knot. What district is he from? Does he have any family? I wonder what his like... She stole a couple glances at him attempting to answer her own questions about this guy.

Alex looked out of the corner of his eyes to the two girls, who seemed to be really good, and it looked like they were just making him look bad, he ignored it, because he NEEDED to learn how to tie knots for the arena

Tessa put her knot down on the table, and smirked up at the boy, "You look like you need some help." It was her way of asking him if he wanted her help.

Alexis saw, out of the corner of her eye how the guy next to her was battling to tie his know. She smiled to herself. He'll get better, she thought.

Alex looked over at her his expression still plain "i can handle it" he said his voice slightly gruff and plain

((gtg soon))

"Looks like so." Tessa said attempting not to laugh, but she had a smirk on her face.

((k))

"I know." She said, smilling to herslef and shaking her head.

((K, we can carry on Tomaz maybe))

Tessa looked at this girl confused. Does she think I was speaking to her? She took the expression off of her face, "Nice knot." She said in a monotone voice.

((No, I was replying to Alex haha))

((lol))

Alex rolled his eyes proceeding to attempt to tie the knot

((Truth be told, i havent actually read the books yet...or seen the movie, cuz it isnt out yet here in S.A, so I'm just going with it))

((anyone on?))

((ME!!))

(( :( I missed you by an hour!))

((nooo im here!!, only for a little while though))

((okay. His we going to do this since both our charries aren't really chatters. Lol.))

((hahaha idk, :P but i dont have much time to lets rp))

Tessa started twirling her knot in circles daydreaming about home. Suddenly the knot slipped through the grasp of her fingers, and flew into the air. It slapped the male tribute right in the face, and she started laughing I uncontrolably, "oh my god-" she laughed, "I really didn't mean too." she kept laughing.

"oh god" Alex said his voice gruff, swiping the rope aside, "surrrre you didn't" he said sarcastically

((gtg now D:))

Tessa continued to giggle, "I really didn't." she giggled more, "I'll even apologize, and my apologies are rare to come by," she kept giggling between sentences," sorry, but you have to admitt it was funny."

(( :( ))

Clara noticed a pretty girl laughing, and moved nearer to her. A potential ally? She hoped! "Erm, Hi." she said cautiously. "I'm Clara. And you are?"

((she has a british accent))

Michelle wrote: "Tessa continued to giggle, "I really didn't." she giggled more, "I'll even apologize, and my apologies are rare to come by," she kept giggling between sentences," sorry, but you have to admitt it w..."

"i dont find the hunger games funny" his voice plain

Tessa curtseyed to Clara, "Tessa from district 4." She answered. Then looked back at the male tribute, "I dont either, but the rope hitting your face was quite funny especially being an accident."

"yes just hilariousness" he said solemnly

"I'm a district 3. " Clara replied. She wasn't sure yet if the curtsey was a joke on her or true. Being unsure, she stepped over to Tessa. "Care to work on traps with me?" she asked.

Alexis, seeing the ropw slap the make tribute in the face, started lughing, but, trying not to be rude, she tried to hold it in. It didn't work. She started laughing anyway.

Clara saw many others laughing as well about the rope. and decided to join in rather than look clueless.

Alex rolled his eyes and stood up, heading to the spear throwing station. He picked up the biggest spear and hucked it at the dummy, it hit the eye, but his target was the heart, but it made him look like a expert

Tessa looked at Clara, "Sure. Just a minute." Tessa walked over to the spear station, and leaned on the table full of spears. I wouldnt of felt bad if everyone wouldnt have laughed. A**holes. Now I have to apologize. Why must I have a conscious? At least its a small one. I could be one of those unfortunate souls with a big one. She looked up at the male tribute, "Nice shot," she smiled, "Look... I really didnt mean too. I didnt mean for everyone to laugh either. I sorry." she said stubbornly.

" i dont care. but im taking this seriously" he said throwing another spear, hitting the neck of the dummy, again not where he wanted to hit

Tessa looked at him shock, "Sooo... Your holding this against me even though it was an accident?" She asked.

Clara watched her walk away and knew she hadn't been lying. Waiting while she apologised, she stood around looking like a loser.
