  • Lucretius Gleam, District one

    "Lucretius, it time to get up." A voice spoke into Lucretius's ear. He at once opened his eyes.

    "Good morning." Silver says noticing the boys movement.

    "Morning Silver." Lucretius responds.

    "Better get moving Lucretius. I already let you sleep in." Silver says.

    "Five... More.... minutes." Lucretius jokingly says as he rolls back over. A few moments later the sheets were ripped from his bed.

    "No, now enough of that. Get up and get ready, the reaping's are going to start soon." Silver says, and suddenly something clicks in Lucretius's mind.

    "Oh shit! That's today?" He lets out. Silver looks at him sternly.

    "Watch your language. And yes, that's today. I got a nice suit out for you. I'll have food ready downstairs when your ready." Silver says as he disappears down the hallway, Lucretius listens as the footsteps quiet and disappear. He jumps up out of his warm bed and finds the suit Silver had been talking about. It was a silky black suit and a royal red tie to go with it. He grabbed the suit and got a towel from the closet and walked into the bathroom, twisting the knob on the shower and letting it run a little before he got in. The warm water soothed his back. He took a second to think about what had brought him here to this point...

    It was the dawn of a new Panem, right after the district revolution was put down by the capitol. The second annual Hunger Games was under way, and the district one reaping's had just begun. His mother Goldy had been set up, there was no way she was getting out of this one. The capitol still wanted to make a show of the rebellion leaders, and Goldy had been one of them. Unbenounced to the masses though, was the fact that she was pregnant. That year was the first year with a volunteer. His name was Silver Gleam. He went in to get revenge for his sisters death in the first Hunger Games, he came out alive. And with Lucretius. Lucretius's real father, Bronze, was murdered after he attempted to start a second rebellion against the capitol. Ever since the 2nd hunger games, Silver had fathered him. Silver was the only person he really knew.

    "Lucretius Damnit! Hurry up, before the food gets cold!" Silvers voice boomed bringing Lucretius back to the present. He shut off the water and grabbed the towel, hurrying to dry himself. He pulled on the black suit and hastily slapped on the tie. He whipped the fog off the mirror and gazed at his reflection. His short black hair and hazel eyes stared back at him. He'd been told he looked a lot like his mother.

    Lucretius opened the bathroom door and walked out, slowly walking down the marvelous wooden staircase that lead to the foyer. He walked past the multiple paintings and bookcases into the kitchen.

    "Oh, there you are." Silver said.

    "Yeah." Lucretius responded.

    "Here, you better hurry." Silver said sliding a plate towards him. Lucretius looked over it once before diving into it with his fork.

    "Now, Lucretius. Do you remember what I told you?" silver asked.

    "Sure." Lucretius responded.

    "You don't remember do you?" Silver asked, Lucretius shrugged his shoulders. "Great. At the reaping's today, if your name gets called don't move. This is district one. Someone will volunteer for you. And never, under any circumstances volunteer for someone. Understand?" Silver asked.

    "Yeah." Lucretius said.

    "Good." Silver said.

    .......

    Lucretius now stood in a large crowd of 18 year olds. He didn't know any of them and none of them knew him. He'd never really had a friend before.

    "Welcome all to the twentieth annual hunger games!" The escort chirps into the microphone. "And may the odds be in your favor! Now, before we begin, the capitol has sent us a special film to show you all." She says as she points to a screen. a short video plays about the dark days and why we have the hunger games.

    "What a lovely film! Now lets begin, shall we? As always, ladies first." She says as she shuffles over to a glass bowl full of paper slips. She dips her hand in twirling it around for a moment before plunging in and ripping out a slip. Lucretius could feel the tension. "Sof-" The escort begins but is cut off.

    "I volunteer!" A girl shouts and walks up onto the stage.

    "Lovely! What is your name, young lady?" The escort asks.

    "Petra Diamant" The girl responds.

    "Beautiful! I love seeing the youth stepping up to represent their district! Now for the men!" She says as she walks over to the bowl opposite the girl's. She repeats the tired prosses of building tension. Lucretius thinks back to Goldy, Silver and Bronze. How they were killed.

    "Kayd-" The escort begins.

    "I volunteer!" A voice booms, shocking Lucretius with its power. it took him as second to long to realize... It was his voice. He stood shocked at what he just did.

    "Wonderful! Come up here and tell us your name." The escort sings. Lucretius is firmly planted in place until someone pushes him from behind and he begins walking. He feebly walks up the steps and takes his place next to Petra. "What is your name?" The escort asks shoving the microphone into his face.

    "L-Lucretius Gleam." He finally gets out.

    "Wonderful!" The escort chirps. "Now, shake hands you two." She says. Lucretius looks over to Petra, she brushes a strand of her blonde hair out of her eye and sticks her hand out. Lucretius stands once again frozen.

    He could shake her hand, and get good with Petra. Or maybe if he denied he's look like a total badass to the entire capitol, but Petra would probably hate him, maybe she'd even kill him... Lucretius looks Petra over following her curves, looking up to her face. She is staring at him strangely with her emerald eyes. She puts her hand a little farther out.

    Since Petra volunteered, she's going to be one of the most dangerous tributes in the games. Pissing her off could be lethal.

  • Petra Diamant, District one

    Lucretius stares awkwardly for a second before proceeding to grip Petra's hand firmly. Petra pulls him closer to her and whispers into his ear.

    "Two things Lucretius." She begins. "One, if you ever want a chance at seeing home again, stick with me. And two, if I ever catch you checking me out ever again, I will stab you eyes out and force them down your throat. Do you understand?" She said as she pushed him away breaking his grip. He nods in agreement and Petra had to suppress a smile.

    "Your district one tributes everyone!" The escort chirps and the crowd roars in approval, cheering and chanting as they are ushered into the justice building.


    Petra admired the handy woodwork of the desk and the elegant artwork on the walls wondering how long ago this stuff must have been made. Suddenly the wooden door bursts open. Her entire family enters the room.

    "Oh Petra, were all so proud of you!" Her mother says.

    "Petra, you better not disgrace our family by losing." Petra's oldest sister, Jewelia, says.

    "Now Jewelia. Petra is not going to disgrace our family. She is most defiantly going to win, isn't that right sweetheart?" Petra's father says.

    "Of course that's right." Petra responded. There was a knock at the door and a peacekeeper walked in.

    "Its time." He said. Petra stood up and began to walk out of the room.

    "Petra..." Petra's youngest sister began.

    "Yes?" Petra asked.

    "I'll see you in a few days." She said.

    "Yes, yes you will." Petra said as she walk out of the room towards the train station, escorted by white uniformed peacekeepers.


    Aurora Margaly

    "Are you ready?" A voice says startling Aurora. She spins around to find her father standing in the doorway.

    "What are you doing in here?" Aurora asks angrily.

    "We need to talk." He says.

    "No. There's nothing to talk about. I'm not volunteering, that's final." Aurora says sternly.

    "God Damnit child! Listen to me!" He yells, as Aurora shrinks away. "You will volunteer. You will win."

    "Why should I? To fulfill your fantasies of being grandparents favorite child?" Aurora asks, more like demands. Livius doesn't say anything for a moment then a sinister smile pulls at the edge of his lips. He chuckles a little, just enough to make it clear he had something planned. "Would you mind telling me whats so funny?" Aurora demands.

    "Remember that training I put you through? That time I caught your cheek with my sword because you were off guard?" Livius asked.

    "Of course I do." Aurora says as she brushes the scar on her right cheek. "You bastard." She whispers.

    "I can promise you it could be a lot worse... And if you don't volunteer, I only have one last resort." Livius says slyly.

    "You wouldn't." Aurora says.

    "Your wrong. I would. And I would make it more unbearable that anything I put you through. In fact, my sword arm is feeling a little weak lately... It would be a shame if my sword were to... Slip... out of my grasp." Livius says.

    "You cant. You.... You'd get caught!" Aurora states.

    "Wrong. I have a lot of friends in the right places.... Aurora, this is your chance! Bring honor to our home, to your family. You just don't get it, and now I have to look like the bad guy because you wont take the chance of a lifetime." Livius says.

    "The games are a one way ticket father! Dying isn't much of living!" Aurora shouts.

    "Your mother has corrupted you. Today you will volunteer, or else your dear sister wont be much of a friend anymore." Livius says.


    Johnson Jackie, District two

    "Hell yeah." Johnson whispers to himself as he looks at his reflection. He notices a twitch in his eye but ignores it. His wicked smile says it all. Today was his day. He jumps up and down a few times taking a few breaths to calm himself.

    "Johnson? Are you ready?" Shawn asks, Shawn. The only person who would stick around Johnson. Not even his own parents would stick around him, but Shawn would leave him.

    "Hell yeah!" He yells.

    "What was that?" Shawn calls.

    "I mean, Yeah, I'm ready." Johnson says.

    "Lets go then." Shawn says

    ......

    "Lets get on with this already." Johnson grumbles.

    "Dude, calm down. It'll start eventually." A boy next to Johnson says.

    "Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the twentieth annual hunger games!" The escort speaks into the microphone. "As always, ladies first!" She says as she reaches into the glass sphere, selecting a slip of paper.

    "M-" The escort barely get the first sound out before being cut off.

    "I volunteer!" A girl shrieks.

    "Great! Please come up here and tell the people your name." The escort chirps. Moments later a girl appears on the stage. She stares out upon the crowd with her brown eyes, her matching curly hair gently being blown by the wind. "What is your name?"

    "Aurora Margaly." She says. She sounds more annoyed than anything.

    "How exiting! Now for the gentlemen." The escort says as she walks over to the glass bowl. Johnson could feel the adrenaline start flowing. A smile pulled at his lips. The escort dipped her hand into the bowl and started to pull out a slip of paper.

    "I volunteer!" Johnson shouts before she could even read the slip.

    "Way to go buddy. Represent." The kid next to Johnson says. Johnson begins to walk up to the stage and takes his place.

    "So, what is your name young man?" The escort asks.

    "Johnson Jackie." he responds barely able to with hold his excitement. He tried to suppress his smile but he knows he's failing. He looks over at his district partner and can tell she isn't feeling the same way. She was looking towards the crowd with a depressed look on her face, judging by her face she was about to cry... Not very career like. Johnson's mind suddenly switched tracks. This was his district partner, he was going to be in an alliance with her. If she busted out cry here, it would make the both of them look bad. But what could he do?

    choice

    [Do nothing]

    [Hug Aurora]

  • Great part! Good to see Aurora in action :D

    And two, if I ever catch you checking me out ever again, I will stab you eyes out and force them down your throat.

    Yeah... Petra is absolutely terrifying. Perhaps I made a mistake by creating a career tribute, since being close to her seems to be detrimental to a persons health. She's interesting in a very scary way, I have to give her that, but I somehow think she and Aurora won't get along very well.

    Aurora's father is a complete bastard though, exactly how he was meant to be. Part of me hopes that she wins, so that she can be in a position to wipe that smug smile off his face. And part of me hopes that she wins because I'm biased.

    [Hug Aurora]

    The last thing Aurora should do right now is appearing weak. Johnson could start to be useful for her by giving her some support.

  • Aurora Margaly, District 2

    Aurora just stood there frozen. she knew she'd just signed her life away to the capitol. In a matter of days, she and twenty-three other tributes would be dead. She knew she was lucky to be part of district two, since that meant she would have more allies. But that would only get her so far. She looked out upon the giant crowd and searched around, it was impossible to find anyone in there. She knew her sister was out there somewhere. Alone, scared that she'd never see Aurora again. Aurora shifted her gaze down and forced back the tears. She thought she'd done the right thing, but what was stopping her father from sending her sister into the games when Aurora died? Her father was a horribly wicked person who would do anything to get a chance at having fame somehow. Aurora felt a small tear running down her cheek and promptly wiped it away. After a few moments of just standing there staring at the stage Aurora felt something touch her. She looked up and saw it was her district partner Johnson. He'd moved closer to her and draped his arms around her, pulling her into his broad chest. Aurora felt to weak to pull away so she buried her face into his shoulder.

    .......

    Soon the 'aww's of the crowd died down and the two were ushered inside. Aurora now sat in a fancy looking room in a comfy chair. Johnson was also in the room.

    "You don't have to be in here with me." Aurora said.

    "Why not? I don't have any family." Johnson said, scanning her with diligent hazel colored eyes.

    "That's a little odd for district two isn't it?" Aurora asked.

    "Every district has its shortcomings." Johnson answered. Suddenly the door busted open and Livius walked in.

    "Aurora! I knew you would volunteer! I just knew it! I am so proud of you! You will bring such great honor to our family when you win." He said.

    "Where's mom and Arminia." Aurora asked. Her father looked at her and his smile faded.

    "They wouldn't quit crying and babbling so I didn't let them come." Livius said. Aurora felt a surge of anger.

    "You send me off to die, and you wont even let me say goodbye to my own God damn family?" Aurora demanded angrily.

    "Your the one that volunteered." Livius said. With that Aurora rose from her seat picking up a glass vase and smashing it against the table sending shards everywhere.

    "You Bastard! You made me volunteer!" She said as she picked up one of the biggest shards and leapt forward at him, but a force held her back.

    "Let me go! Let me do damnit!" She yelled as she struggled to get at her father.

    "Aurora, stop. He's not worth it." Johnson's voice responded. Aurora spun around and saw Johnson holding onto her arm with an iron grip. "He's not worth it." Johnson said again. Johnson pulled her arm and forced her back into the chair.

    "At least one of us can control her." Livius sneered.

    "Get out." Johnson said.

    "Excuse me?" Livius asked. Johnson marched up and got in his face, even though he was taller and more muscular than Livius.

    "I said get. Out." Johnson said.

    "Why should I?" Livius asked. Johnson didn't say anything after this, for he had no time. A peacekeeper gingerly opened the door and walked in.

    "It's time." He said.


    well, this is as far as I can get for now. I will need to get more tributes first. So, since it looks like no one else is going to join, feel free to make more characters. I will start the D3 reapings when I get a D3 female.

  • That was a great part, I liked it a lot! Johnson surprised me, he seems to be a bit better than I thought. I'm going to try and submit my second tribute tomorrow, since I've written a bit too much today already, but it will probably be either the D7 or the D11 Male, unless they are already taken by tomorrow of course.

    Binary Boolean, district 3

    Binary opened his eyes and noticed something odd. He wasn't in his bed. He looked around and realized he had fallen asleep at his table. Again. He picked up the multiple papers and stacked them neatly where he could get back to them later. He opened his door and headed out, down the staircase. He walked through the empty halls into the kitchen, where he received a pleasant surprise. His mother and father were both sitting at the table, conversing about something. Binary approached.

    "What are you guys doing here? Shouldn't you be at work?" He asked.His father looked at his mother and laughed a little under his breath.

    "Can you not remember anything? The reapings are today, everyone's off work." He answered. Binary scratched the back of his head.

    "I, uh, I knew that. I was just testing you." Binary lied.

    "Sure you were, now eat up." His mother said, passing a bowl full of cereal towards him. Binary eagerly agreed and began chowing down. After a few minutes he was finished.

    "You eat like a cow." His father joked.

    "Yeah?" Binary said.

    "Go on and get dressed." His father said. Binary stood from the table and walked back to his room. He found a nice suit with a fancy tie. He pulled off his old cloths and put on the new ones, looking in the mirror. It fit surprising well, for something that was probably his father's when he was his age. Never the less, it looked pretty good on him, or at least he thought so. Binary then rushed out of his room back into the kitchen.

    "You look so much like your father when he was younger." His mother said.

    "You've said that every year." Binary said. Binary's father checked his watch and looked up.

    "Looks like its time to go." He said. "We'll see you later."

    ...................

    Binary walked down the road towards the justice hall. There were a few more kids out there, but Binary paid them no attention.

    "Hey, Binary, going somewhere?" A familiar voice called. Binary just kept walking.

    "Hey, I said where the fuck are you going?" It asked again. Binary put his head down and walked faster, but something caught his leg and he fell.

    "Oh look, poor little Binary is in the dirt." The voice laughed. Binary got back onto his face and looked at the voice.

    "Fuck off." Binary said.

    "Oh, so the runt gets a temper." The boy said.

    "Look, I don't want no trouble." Binary said.

    "You should have thought about that a long time ago, runt." The boy said approaching. "You know, it might be for the best if you go die in the arena. Actually, I hope that's what happens." Now the boy was right in his face. "Now get the fuck out of here, runt." He said and Binary half ran away.

    "He's right you know." A new voice said. "Its probably for the best of you get killed. It will end this pain." it said.

    "Go away." Binary mumbled, and the voice disappeared.


    Pixey Key, District 3

    Everything was so surreal. Like drowning in an ocean of people. She looked around and in every direction all she saw was people. A women soon appeared on the stage, who looked like they had one to many plastic surgery's. These capitol people were pretty strange.

    "As always, ladies first!" The escort beams. She pulls a slip out of a bowl and reads it. "Pixey Key!" She says. Pixey was shocked. She waited for someone to volunteer.

    "No volunteers?" The escort says, sounding disappointed. "Alright then, Pixey Key come on up here." Pixey's legs grew a mind of their own and carried her forward onto the stage. The escort smiled at her. "Pixey Key, everyone!" She said, the crowd grew deadly silent. The escort frowned and walked over to the other bowl.

    "Now for the men!" She said as she selected a slip and began reading it, but was cut off by a shout of someone volunteering. The escort breathed a sigh of relief as a young man walked to the stage. He looked younger than Pixey. "What is your name?" The escort asked.

    "Binary Boolean." He responded.

    ..............................

    The room was silent. Her father sat with his head in his hands. He refused to make eye contact with her.

    "Pixey..." He said finally breaking the silence.

    "Yes?" Pixey asked.

    "You are strong enough to be a career, join them. Stick with the pack, and you'll be fine. But the pack seems weaker this year than usual. If anything seems odd with the careers, you leave them. You are young, and smart. I- I don't want to lose you to." Her father said.

    "You wont lose me. I will come back." She said. Her father lifted his head and looked at Pixey with sad eyes. He smiled weakly.

    "Don't go making promises you cant keep." He said.
