Ryan sighed as she watched the reaping on her large screen television that was mounted on the wall in her office. She was sorting through everything she may need when it came time to dress up her tributes. When the reaping for District 7 came onto the screen she watched as one of the tributes twins volunteered themselves after the other was selected. It made her smile and cry at the same time. The look in the girls eyes was heartbreaking, the two knew that there was a possibility of losing the other and they didn't want to leave each other's side even if it meant potentially being murdered by the capitol in their twisted games.

"AH the emotions that come with the reapings" ,a man's voice came from behind her. President MacNimare had walked into her office, the man never knocked then again he was the boss and she couldn't exactly argue with him even if she wanted to put a bullet in his head. "I take it you're almost ready to make your tributes beautiful Ryanna?" ,he continued.

"Yep, getting everything together now sir" ,Ryan replied. She hated that he used her full name to address her, she hated him in general.

"I trust that you won't be pulling any stunts like your mentor Cinna has in the past" ,he stated in an almost threatening tone.

"No sir I know better then to do that" ,Ryan replied. She felt MacNimare's hand on her shoulder and it made her cringe inwardly. His touch made her feel disgusting as if she were being touched by death himself.

"Good girl" ,MacNimare said with a smile. His eyes went to the television screen and an evil little smirk came across his features as he looked at the twins from District 7. "Ah the Draven girls, I was hoping to see one of them in the games this year, lucky me I get to see them both. Such rebels, no regard for rules in the least, I can't wait to see how they handle the games, I have a few special surprises for them" ,he said as he gave Ryan's shoulder a squeeze.

The stylist's heart sank into her stomach and she forced back her tears. She knew what President MacNimare meant by special surprises, he was going to try his hardest to make sure those girls didn't make it out of the arena alive. He was sick and all he was doing was throwing his weight around, abusing his power to show that he was in charge. Finally she felt his hand move away and heard as he walked out the door and shut it. As soon as he was out of sight Ryan broke down she knew she had to do something even if it was against her better judgement, she had to find and speak to the mentors of District 7 as soon as they arrived and let them know what President MacNimare had planned.

Both Rikki and Jamie walked into the dining hall hand in hand. They had both spent hours being prepped and dressed and poked and prodded with all kinds of instruments that would 'make them beautiful'. Their stylist was insane in their opinion all she kept talking about is how lucky they were to be in the games and how fortunate Jamie was to have a sister like Rikki who truly knew how to appreciate the games.

They looked around at the various people in the room and then to each other. "Thank goodness we aren't forced to wear the stuff that these people wear" ,Jamie whispered making Rikki snicker before pointing to a woman who had pink and blonde hair and her outfit was just outrageous. The two laughed and whispered a few things as they made their way to the table and sat down.

Crow noticed the two twins laughing and pointing at Luna and he let out a small laugh. "What's so funny?" ,Luna snapped before looking at her watch. "And where is Ryan, that woman is always late!" ,she complained. Crow simply rolled his eyes and shook his head, he hated when Ryan left him alone with Luna. "UGH!...." ,Luna gasped.

"What now?" ,Crow asked in an annoyed tone.

"Those two look atrocious, District 7's stylist has really lost her touch" ,Luna complained before pulling a small mirror from her purse and applying a coat of lipstick to her lips.

Emme had been working the floor from the moment she'd arrived. Michelle was by her side, undergoing all the attention and introductions with a smile. Pretty much every single guest was dressed to the nines. Most of the Capitol guests had gone far beyond extravagant, leaving the sensible to shine in simple elegance. Exactly what Emme had aimed for with her look tonight. Hers and Michelle's. Since the stylists had been busy enough with the rest of the team, Emme had taken the liberty of dressing her niece. A strategy so sensible they were one of the first tributes to arrive. At least they'd captured everyone's attention.. Emme flashed a smile for the different people who greeted her, even the ones that made her skin crawl. It came so easy to her to flirt. It was in her smile, her body, her voice, the attention she gave every single one. A greeting immediately followed by an introduction of her brave niece. Michelle could never go for intimidating, or seductive like Emme, so she'd have to be likable, charming.

All the emotion still burned hot underneath the surface. A molten mix of frustration, fear and fury. Of all the times she had made Michelle promise her.. Naive, stupid girl. Just thinking about had her sucking in a deep breath. She'd already shown the two girls her anger and frustration on the train. The sobbing parents of Whitley, her brother, begging her to help them get out alive were far too fresh in her memory. It was out of Emme's hands now. She'd do what she could to help them. Now it was maintaining and expanding on her already extensive network, making sure they'd embrace Michelle too. The only benefit coming from the additional services MacNimare required of her.

Speaking of the devil. From across the room their eyes met for just a moment. Her smile faltered while she was sure his smirk grew. Just that little glance had her even more on edge. The sadistic son of a bitch would have even more to enjoy in these Games.

The moment had passed and she excused Michelle from the polite little meet and greet she was having to get drinks together. Taking advantage of the moment alone, she whispered in the younger girl's ear. "Don't forget to smile.. MacNimare is here. Don't. Do. Anything. to. Antagonize. Him."

Michelle held onto her smile, murmuring. "I'm not stupid."

Emme drew back to look at her niece's face. "Could've fooled me."

Michelle had the good sense to cringe. Emme sighed softly. "Come on. Smile, make them love you." They returned to the party, drinks in hand. One of the Victors from District Seven waved and Emme sent him an extra bright smile. So incredibly glad to see a friend. The twins from Seven that had gone in together were not far from him. It'd been heartwrenching to watch their Reaping. The sisters sticking together, like Whitley and Michelle.

The twins were engaging in an amusing conversation about Luna when they seen their mentor wave at someone. Naturally curious the two turned their heads to see who he was waving at. Both Rikki and Jamie's seen a woman and a younger girl enjoying the party, they had been two of the first people here as well and hadn't really talked to many people other then each other and their mentors briefly. Rikki being the more outgoing one turned and brought her fingers to her mouth and let out a loud whistle to get the two's attention.

Jamie's face turned red and she looked up to the president who now had an annoyed expression on his face apparently he didn't like the fact Rikki was being so forward. The younger twin knew the man didn't like either of them just by the way he looked at the two when they walked in. The twins weren't the best behaved tributes he had and even Jamie knew that the president kept tabs on all the district members and her and Rikki didn't have the greatest wrap sheets so to speak. "Rikki please sit down MacNimare is glaring daggers at us right now" ,Jamie whispered softly.

"Eh who cares.....HEY WHY DON'T YOU COME SIT WITH US!" ,Rikki boomed out from across the room. The gummy smile on her face masking the pure disgust she felt inside for the celebration. Their mentors had instructed them to be pleasant and interact with as many people as possible, even the other tributes. It was clear the blonde was with a tribute and Rikki wanted to make a good impression even if they would be going head to head with the tribute in the arena.

Ash was good at hiding emotions, it is was a Capitol citizen must learn to do in order to remain a Capitol citizen. So, despite the anguish he felt for his little sister after she foolishly volunteered, he put on an aloof face, and radiated both calm and strategic charm as he entered the luxurious Dining Hall which was in the early stages of the extravagant meeting dinner.

Ash was dressed in a fine velvet suit that was deep red in color and tailored to perfectly compliment his lean, muscled frame, along with a pair of fine polished dress shoes and a black bow tie. The red of his suit clashed with the orange-ish red of his hair, but all in all, he looked the part of a District 1 Mentor. Not many of the Tributes and mentors had arrived just yet, but all of District 4 was there. The twins from District 7 -a look of distaste marked his face, they did indeed have a shameful track record...not to mention that they looked like trouble-, District 2's Mentor, along with her little niece. Ash could only imagine how eaten up the woman must be, he himself could relate well. He also spotted the President, as well as a few stylists milling about. Questionable, since it seemed with 72 Tributes they should be extremely busy. His sister had gone off to see if she could assist some of the Stylists since she preferred to dress herself.

Not prepared to mingle yet, Ash went to the bar and got himself a nice glass of red wine. It was nearly the same color of his suit, and then he turned to observe, wincing at the obnoxious shout from one of the Draven twins.

Ben showed up to see some of the other tributes here already at the party. He walks down with a slightly bored expression on his face. People came up to him shaking his hand. A lot of people commented on his looked and they kept bringing up Cinna. Ben knew that these were his clothes but he must have been a strong character as well to have this kind of reaction to people here. The President even took notice of how he was notice and realized that was the so called hero of the third district.

He made his way through the crowd and went to go to where the other tributes where. He knew it would be important for him to get to know about them and where they came from to know about their skills and strength. Walking up to a brother and sister who yelled out “Why don’t you come and sit with us!” smiling a little at the outgoingness of it all. “Hi, I’m ben. If you wanted someone to sit with y’all you need to ask nicer than that, you know.” Rikki with tattoos on her arm had a rugged look to her face and appearance even with the new outfit.

When Ben approached and said Rikki should ask nicer if her and Jamie wanted someone to sit with them Jamie let out a small laugh. "Rikki tries to be nice but she's just way too loud and hyper most of the time" ,Jamie said in response before taking a sip of juice from her glass. "So Ben I'm Jamie and this is my sister Rikki, would you like to sit with us?" ,she asked nicely before motioning to a seat at the table.

"So what district are you from?" ,Rikki asked. "Jamie and I are from 7 the lumber district up until now we've worked in the lumber yard with Caleb" ,she stated as she motioned towards the districts mentor. Not many tributes that came into the games ever worked it was usually school until they turned 18 or got selected for the games.

Jamie sipped her drink again then looked at Rikki then back to Ben, "We were forced to work as punishment for these" ,she told him as she lifted one of her sleeves to show off her tattoos. Rikki's were already showing due to her short sleeves. The twins could feel the glares coming from MacNimare and when they turned to look at the president he indeed was glaring daggers at them.

Ben laughed "How can somebody be excited about what is going to happen to us, or does she just have that much more energy to get started?" He nods to caleb and listens to them being district 7 the limber district Which is surprising considering that they were both females. It must have been work but that explained more of their rugged appearance. Looking up he saw President MacNimare glaring at them and he laughed a little and tilts his head at him before looking at the sisters "So any idea at why he is giving me the death look you think it is because something cawled up his ass and died? It's seemly like a lot of people here in the capital act like they shit rose gardens or something with their noses so high."

Seph didn't mind at all when Ryan explained that they would take the long way to the party dinner; she had no desire to go anyway. The walk through the empty hallways was pleasant, and it was almost nice to listen to Ryan's chatter. Seph didn't say much on the way, but it was clear that she was always listening. When they finally reached the large doors to the Dining Hall, Seph stopped and stared for a moment or so, realizing that she really, really did not want to go inside. There were people in there, people that she truly had no desire to meet or to see, or to be seen by. That and, she never had any desire to go to any party in all of her existence. It was the exact opposite of the type of activities she enjoyed doing. In all her time in the Capitol and in this mess of an ordeal, she had never wanted to run away more than in that moment. Her teeth clamped down on the inside of her lip and then she allowed her hazel gaze to slide and look over at the District 10 Stylist. "...Is this.... mandatory?" she asked in that low, raspy-ish voice of hers. "This dinner?"

When they reached the doors and Seph asked if the dinner was mandatory Ryan sighed, she hated that the young woman had to go through with all of this and wished she could give her the answer she wanted to hear. "Unfortunately....yes this is mandatory, even for me" ,Ryan stated. "Come on just stick with me" ,she stated before holding out her hand and giving Seph a smile. "I'll speak to a few people if you'd like and help you get some sponsors, just smile and wave and when people come up to you just be friendly ok".

"OH he's probably glaring at us, he's been doing it all night" ,Jamie began then leaned in to whisper. "He doesn't like how we behaved in our district....at all that's why he made us work and watch his fuc...." ,Jamie continued but was cut off by Rikki's hand going over her mouth. The younger twin pushed Rikki's hand away then shook her head to rid her mind of the memory of their tattoo artist getting his throat slit by peacekeepers.

"What Jamie is saying is MacNimare has been itching to get us into the arena for years now" ,Rikki stated. Just as she was about to say something else she noticed two people walk in, "Holy shit who's the hottie?" ,she asked in reference to Ryan. "Her friend's not bad either". Jamie nudged Rikki hard in the ribs and gave her a glare.

"Jeez even when you know you're about to be thrown into a death arena you still can't keep it in your fucking pants" ,Jamie hissed quietly.

"Hey just trying to live it up before I die!" ,Rikki shouted making sure MacNimare heard her loud and clear. She raised her glass and stared the president directly in the eyes before an evil little smirk came across her lips and she took a sip from the glass in her hand then slammed it onto the table.

Jamie knew Rikki was just covering up her true feelings with her actions, she was masking her fear and sadness by being loud and obnoxious and Jamie really couldn't blame her older twin for that really. She looked over to Ben and then back to Rikki who was staring into her glass, her knuckles white from how tightly she was gripping it. Rikki was there because of her, because she wanted to protect her, wouldn't let little Jamie go into the arena alone. Jamie placed a gentle hand onto Rikki's hand that wasn't gripping the glass, "I'm sorry" ,Jamie whispered as she felt her tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

Rikki looked over to Jamie and smiled, it was clearly forced, "It's not your fault Jame I told you I'll never leave your side no matter what" ,Rikki told her before looking to Ben once more. "Take a seat man let's get to know each other like we're supposed to do at this thing".

Turning around he saw Seph and Ryan coming in, and pointed to them, "I know them, would you.." before he could finish Rikki smashed the glass on the table. He could see in their reaction that they were scared, and how could you not be where you going to go and died for someone amusement. Still he had to get them to clam down a little "Alright getting to know, I'm from a very poor family and I work cause I the only one in my family who can with my father being the only alive but is in jail for something silly. I really don't care if I live or die, it doesn't really matter to me, but before I die I want to make an impact. I'm going to die for everyone to see I might as well go out with a bang you know."

Shortly after the women from District 10 made their entrance, the doors opened and a small crowd from District 1 entered. Such a crowd was lead by a tiny girl with fiery hair and paper white skin that was as flawless as porcelain; Cynder Tiffa. Beside her, standing at a rather protective distance was a massive dark skinned man named Evan Nakaian. He stood more than a foot taller than her, and the top of her head barely reached his shoulder. While the rest of the District 1 crowd fanned out to mingle, Cynder paused and scanned the crowd before catching sight of the red suit clashing with red hair. A happy squeal left her delicate lips and she rushed over to her elder brother to throw herself into his arms in a tight hug. Ash grunted as the small weight was thrown against him, and he hugged his sister quickly before hugging her off of him. Evan was grinning subtly, but said nothing. He was not a man of many words.

"Brother!" she cry joyously, that bell-like voice carried through the large hall, drawing eyes. "I haven't seen you yet! You've yet to come and see me..."

"Yes, well.. I have been a bit busy, Spark," he said, using her childhood nickname, which caused that smile to swell over her lips, "But I am glad to see you now."

"Well! I'm sure we will have lots of time together soon --- President MacNimare! It is good to see you again," she said, swooping away from her brother and over to the most hated man in Panem. She lifted herself up onto her toes and kissed him politely on the cheek. The lingering Evan gave a polite nod and nothing more.

"And it is good to see you, Ms. Tiffa. Enjoy the party," MacNimare said.

Cynder went to the bar and ordered a glass of wine for herself, never mind the fact that she was a few years too young to drink. She still knew fine wine, and no one denied the girl when she asked. Then, she took her time to survey the gathering crowd. There was a small group gathering around the table, and in the center of that crowd was to twins. Cynder's brows rose and her head tilted just a bit to the side. Markings covered their skin in intricate designs. Evan had similar designs that he was able to keep hidden, merely there to represent his heritage. She turned her head and looked up at the brute of a man. "What is on their skin?"

"Tattoos," Evan grunted, his voice a trembling baritone that carried even when he spoke quietly.

"You have some," she said, lowering her voice a bit. Evan nodded once, and then Cynder shook her head. "I want to see their's closer."

"Go ask."

And that was that. Cynder swooped from beside the bar and over to the table where the small group had gathered. They were lower Districts, but she did not know that, nor did she really care. Unlike many higher ranked District members, she was not snobbish. Classy, but not snobbish. She came to the table, and then spoke in a bright voice, "Hello! I'm Cynder, District 1."

Seph sighed inwardly. Of course it was mandatory. What was it with this bloody place and unpleasant things? Reluctantly, she followed Ryan into the Dining Hall. Her mannerism was that of a deer going into open space; cautious and wary. Quick eyes took in each person, some of them ridiculous and some less so than others. With no pockets to put her hands in, she simply curled her fingers; pressing her nails firmly into her palm. She did indeed stick closely to Ryan's side. The woman was familiar now, and she knew for a fact that she felt comfortable with her. Socializing was certainly not her forte, but she could possibly manage a smile here and there. At least she would try to do such.

As Ben spoke Both Rikki and Jamie listened, Jamie had begun to rub Rikki's back trying to calm her down a bit. The younger twin could feel the muscles in Rikki's back loosen up a bit and she turned to Ben, "We were forced to work in the lumber yard after we got our tattoos, Rikki and I've been working since we were fifteen" ,Jamie began. When Ben mentioned going out with a bang Jamie seen Rikki smirk.

"I agree most of us are gonna be killed so why not go out with a bang" ,Rikki said in response to Ben. It was clear she had something on her mind and that usually scared Jamie a bit, not because Rikki would hurt her but because Rikki often gotten herself into trouble when she got ideas.

The two twins looked up when the red head approached them and introduced herself. Rikki took a sip from her glass then held out her hand avoiding eye contact, she was too busy glaring back at MacNimare. "Rikki" ,she said through gritted teeth. There was a dangerous look in her eyes and an evil smirk on her face, she looked almost.....predatory.

"I'm Jamie, it's nice to meet you, Rikki and I are from District 7" ,Jamie stated with a smile before extending her hand. "Please forgive Rikki, she has mood swings sometimes" ,Jamie continued trying to cover for her twin a little bit. "Wanna sit with us?"

The two Martins siblings walked in arm in arm, heads held high. Kevin looked around and his eyes stopped at a table of tributes and he shook his head before leading Raven towards another table. "Look at that, speaking with the enemy, it's stupid" ,Kevin hissed before taking a seat. Raven simply shrugged her shoulders then sat down beside her brother.

"Why is it so stupid?" ,Raven asked.

"Because it's like making friends with cattle that you know is just going to be turned into steak and put on your dinner plate eventually" ,Kevin responded as he rolled his eyes.

Raven sighed and she shook her head, sometimes she couldn't stand how her brother was. He was so arrogant and cruel at points that sometimes she got the terrible urge to slap him. She thought about going over to the group when they had first walked in but due to her brother's attitude she thought it best to just follow him and stick to his side for the night. Angering her brother was something Raven never liked to do.

Ryan could sense Seph tension and she felt bad for the girl. The stylist spotted Caleb and the two twins at a table that had some of the tributes sitting at it. "Come with me I need to speak with that man over there" ,Ryan told Seph as she pointed to Caleb. She needed to let him know what MacNimare had said to her while alone in her office and she needed to somehow warn the twins without it being obvious. The stylist led the way towards the table and as she walked she leaned over towards Seph, "Just stick with me ok, you'll be fine" ,she told the young woman in a reassuring tone.

When Ryan reached the table she immediately walked over to Caleb, she put a smile on her face and made it look as if she were simpy saying hello and greeting the man but in all reality she was saying something completely different as she shook his hand. "The duo is in danger" ,was all she said then put on the brightest smile possible and let out a laugh.

Caleb's eyes immediately went to the twins but he quickly looked away and smiled at Ryan, "We'll talk soon" ,he stated before lettingout a laugh of his own. To anyone watching that couldn't hear them would think they were simply joking around with each other and having a good time. Caleb then looked to Seph and smiled a bit, "Hi I'm Caleb care to join us all, can I get you anything?" ,he asked trying to be friendly. "I'm heading to get drinks I can use a whiskey, Ryan....same thing?" ,He asked and Ryan nodded. "What can I get for you young lady?" ,Caleb asked as he once again looked to Seph.

Seph did not need to be told twice to follow the Stylist. She would most likely be sticking to her side like glue the rest of the night. In silence, she walked along with her to the man. He looked crisp and clean on the outside, but Seph could tell that he was undoubtedly tired... haggard. He was a Mentor. Seph's brow furrowed and she realized she had not bothered to speak to her own Mentor, an older drunken woman who was a Morphling. Morphlings made Seph uncomfortable with their listless stares and crusted mouths. Unfortunately for 10, she proved to be rather incompetent... Seph herself was doubtful about keeping all six of them alive to win against the other Districts.

She listened quietly and her eyes darted to the direction that Caleb's eyes had flicked. Two girls; twins. Cocky and carefree it seemed, but again, Seph saw past that. They were scared. Most of the Tributes were. Trouble?

Careful eyes combed through the crowd and settled on MacNimare. She recognized him from glimpses on TV. The way he carried himself was enough cause for dislike, so Seph released a sharp breath through her nose and then squared her shoulders. She looked again to the twins. They looked mischievous and Seph drew her own conclusions as to what was going on and what the cryptic words of Ryan meant. Snapped back to the two near her, she blinked and looked at the friendly man with a slightly furrowed brow. Silence carried on for a moment before she answered, "Water.... Please."

It was lucky that Cynder walked up after the conversation about causing trouble passed. She was born a loyalist, though it was not out of greed, or spite, or cruelty, it was just simply how she was raised. Those bright blue eyes glanced over the sulking Rikki and a small smile touched her lips. At the invitation, she slipped into one of the chairs, taking careful time to smooth the dark green fabric of her elegant dress before settling. Evan had remained standing, folding his arms over his barrel-like chest and surveying the room. He looked like a bodyguard, and Cynder took notice, knowing that the boy was protective of her. They grew up together, and they were nearly as close as she and Ash. Lifting a delicate hand, she touched his elbow and said with a smile, "Sit down, Brute. We're here to have fun, you know."

Then, she turned her attention back to the twins, taking one more look at Rikki. There was something about the girl that was slightly off-putting as she glared daggers at the President. A frown pulled at the corners of Cynder's lips, but it vanished after a brief second. "We all get a little off sometimes! Perhaps if she had some wine she would feel better. You may have some of mine if you want!" Cynder set her glass on the table and leaned forward a bit to place her arms politely on its polished surface. She then reached out and shook Jamie's hand, her eyes drifting to look curiously at the ink on the girl's arm. After a moment too long, she released her hand and smiled brightly; gesturing to Evan as he finally decided to sit. "This is Evan. He's a good friend of mine and volunteered after I did. He doesn't talk much... I call him Brute because he is one," she laughed merrily and looked again at Jamie's arm.

River entered alone. He was dressed handsomely, though this was not of his choosing. His blond hair was slicked back instead of hanging in his eyes like he preferred. He looked darkly handsome, but the aura he gave off let others know not to come and greet him. Without so much as a glance to his Mentor or his fellow District 2 Tributes, or any Tribute for that matter, he walked to a table that was out of the way from the rest and settled. He placed his ankle on his knee, one hand on his leg and the other on the table and he watched the crowd mingle.

It was an interesting crowd. He glanced at the twins from 7, odd looking ones they were. Not particularly his type. Then, he looked at the siblings from his own District. The shining star Martins. He disliked them, and he was relatively sure that they felt the same way about him. He bit the inside of his cheek and then he simply tilted his head back to stare up at the high ceiling, awaiting the end of this bloody dinner.

"I been working since I was...10 I think, it was a long time ago but I got my father's job." he looked around the place to see Cynder come up to the twins and ask about their tattoos. Ben looked up at the MacNimare and waved at him. He wondered why most of the people here are so superficial. They seem so fake, like this is where they fatten you up before something tragic happens. He excuses Himself from the table "I'm be back Jamie, Rikki, I'm going to get something to drink."

he walked over to the juice bowl, someone asked him about his clothes. "oh, ummm, I'm borrowing this for the night. hopefully I can keep it though cause I like them." he looked around seeing people pour in more with mentors of them own and wonder what it would be like to have a mentor here with him. He never took part in training nor did he feel like he should. He was a worker that was what he was and he was happy with that.

When Seph told Caleb she wanted water he gave her a smile then looked over to Rikki and Jamie as he made his way over to the bar and ordered drinks. As he came back he had one of the waiters bring Rikki a bourbon and had him set it in front of her, "Drink up you look tense kiddo" ,he told the older twin quietly before flashing a smile to Jamie, Ben, and the two tributes from District 1. He then excused himself and made his way over to Ryan and Seph placing their drinks on the table before pulling out two chairs for them. "Sit, relax for a bit, let's talk" ,he stated.

Ryan took a seat when Caleb pulled the chairs out and patted the seat next to her motioning for Seph to sit down. "Seph have you spoke to your district mentor yet?" ,Ryan asked curiously. She knew the District 10 mentors pretty well and knew they weren't the greatest, Caleb was one of the best and if Seph's own district mentor couldn't help her then maybe he could if she would let him.

Rikki was about to take the offer for the wine when her and Jamie's mentor set a glass of something stronger down in front of her. Caleb had squeezed her should in an almost fatherly way before moving to sit next to the woman she had eyed up and down when she first walked in. Something was up Rikki could feel it in her bones and she didn't like it. Finally her gaze broke from MacNimare and she turned her attention to the liquor before her and took a sip, she then turned and looked at Cynder then to Evan who was still standing. The guy was huge and made the older twin slightly nervous but she wouldn't dare show that, "Hey sit, join us we don't bite we may be forced to kill each other later but hey a big guy like you should have no problem snapping my neck right" ,Rikki stated with a cracked tone before taking a large gulp from her glass. Everything was finally starting to sink in as she looked around at her fellow tributes, her and Jamie stood no chance in hell and she could only hope their deaths were quick and as painless as possible.

Jamie nudged Rikki in the ribs hard with her free elbow while she noticed Cynder looking at her tattoos, "Do you like them?" ,Jamie asked giving a smile that made her coffee colored eyes sparkle a bit. The younger twin looked to Evan with an apologetic look in her eyes, "Please forgive Rikki I think everything's starting to sink in and she's a bit on edge" ,Jamie whispered so that Rikki couldn't hear her. She looked to Rikki again and seen her older twin down the rest of the glass then get up and stagger over to the bar to order another.

Ryan watched as one of the twins made her way over to the bar, the girl was already a bit tipsy from the first glass she had drunk and was slightly swaying as she made her way back to the table with her second. "Caleb we have to do something" ,Ryan stated as she leaned in close. She didn't mind if Seph heard what she was about to say because she already trusted the girl, "MacNimare came into my office this morning and pretty much told me....okay, his exact words were 'Ah the Draven girls, I was hoping to see one of them in the games this year, lucky me I get to see them both. Such rebels, no regard for rules in the least, I can't wait to see how they handle the games, I have a few special surprises for them' you know what that means" ,Ryan stated before taking a large sip of her whiskey.

Caleb swallowed hard then looked to the twins once more, "Fuck you're right we do have to do something but what?" ,he asked mainly himself before sipping his own drink.

Ben came back to the table he was sitting with Rikki and Jamie from before this time more people with Seph, Ryan and also the others. the first thing he notice about Cynder was her hair of course. He haven't met many red heads in his life and it was something different about it. Other than that she seem about the same as all the other people here. I don't even think she struggle in a day of her life. the guy next to her seem like a big man but Ben was fine with that. She had to of had some extra muscle that is how a lot of the privilege worked now of days. Only when you have money is life fun.

"Oh My..." Whitley paused as they came to the doorway. Sure, things were beautiful in District 2 but this was incredible. Her grip tightened on his arm before she released him. "Thank you Crow," She gave him a little bow. "I shall come to you from now on." Lifting to her toes she pressed a quick kiss to his cheek before she was off.

There were tables of mixed tributes, and then the tables of loners, the Martin twins and then the one boy.... She couldn't recall his name.

"River," came a giggling voice at her side.

"Shelly!" She whispered loudly before wrapping her arms around her best friend. "I am glad to see you... um, how?" She shook her head knowing that her best friend could read her mind. "So where should we go... River, Martins, or mixed?" Biting her lip she waited for friend. Though the look on her face said it all.

"You can't stay... only stopping by to say hi before being drug away." She sighed, "I understand." She dropped her voice level and hugged her friend while pressing her lips to her ear, "Go sell your soul, I'll be around." With a flash of smiles the friends parted ways.

Moving to the bar she ordered something the nice man recommended when she asked for something sweet. It came in a martini glass. Taking a sip she was pleased. Her eyes wandered the room, she could segregate herself and speak only with the Martin twins or with River. But being a social creature by nature she found herself following a wobbly girl back to the mixed table of tributes.

Casting a soft smile to her other tributes she joined the table. "Whitley, District 2," She held up two fingers. She recognized Ben and saw Luna roaming about as well as Crow and Ryan... even the shy tribute was hiding out... somewhere. "Hello." She slid into one of the open seats. Might as well meet the competition. At least KC could pump her for information, then he'd HAVE to talk to her and listen to what she had to say.

Seph sat beside Ryan and restrained herself from tucking her legs up by her chest like she usually did. Instead, she sat normally, if not a bit slouched, and then gave a nod of thanks when Caleb set her water down. She picked it up, took a sip, then set if back down before letting her gaze drift around the Hall and over the crowd that had gathered. Nearly everyone was there, curiously, besides the District 10 Mentor. Many other of the 10 Tributes looked nervous, but made an effort to mingle with the others. They were not the most promising bunch. Mostly just a bunch of farmer's children. One that stood out was a boy of about 15 who volunteered for his 12 year old sister. He did not look like he would have much better luck than she did unfortunately. Seph turned her attention away from them and to Ryan, giving a small shake of her head. "No... I have not seen her," she said simply.

As Caleb and Ryan talked, Seph simply listened on. Her thoughts were actually working on a solution to helping the girls. It was not fair to be hunted by something much larger than you. Cougars did not normally eat mice, and that is why she disliked the President. He chose little prey for fun instead of food. Seph bit her lip in thought before taking another small drink of water.

"Only bats can see in the dark," she said cryptically. But to her, it made perfect sense; implying that they could not fight what they could not see. They could not protect the twins if they did not know what exactly it was they were up against, so they had to find out exactly what MacNimare was planning before a plan could be made.

Seph went back to her water and scooted closer to the table to watch the ripples bounce around in her glass.

Evan was stony faced at the older twin's comment and a large dark brow arched ever so slightly before he folded his arms over his chest once more. "If Cynder gets hurt, then I will," he grumbled. With Cynder sitting so close, the deep voice of her friend rumbled in her chest. She smiled good-heartedly and shook her head slightly before clapping her hands together and beaming.

"Let us not be down and broody tonight! We should be excited," she said brightly. To nearly all of the other Tributes, she sounded insane holding such an attitude like that. But it was the Hunger Games and to her it was simply that. A game. Evan sometimes wondered if she even knew that people were actually slaughtered. A hinting feeling told her that she possibly wasn't able to grasp that concept just yet. Wait until the arena... then she'd know.

Cynder's attention was once again caught by the twins' tattoos. An almost sheepish smile crossed her face at the question and she leaned forward to look at them again, closer this time. Cynder -with her natural freckly skin that had been laser treated to get that paper white complexion- had always seen beauty more in the flawless skin. But this was different. The ink on the flesh made images that was lovely and just... nice to look at. Her blue eyes sparkled as she nodded eagerly. "I do like them! They are positively lovely. I have never seen them done like that before.... Whoever did it was an artist!"

Evan looked disgruntled, his own tattoos, of which he kept hidden, were blocky and tribal. They were art, of course, but a different kind. However, Cynder hardly knew better. Evan's dark eyes shifted to the oncoming man. From District 3, he recognized from the roster. The large islander made no comment to the 3 boy, and simply shifted in his seat. Cynder however greeted him with a smile and held out her hand to him. "Hello to you! I'm Cynder, District 1, and this is Evan," she said cheerfully, looking to the Whitley girl and flashing that same charming smile. "It's good to meet you all!"

More Tributes flooded in, he heard, but he had not bothered to look down from the ceiling until he heard a couple of female voices. His head lowered and he glanced at the two girl's from his own District. His black eyes lingered on Michelle longer than it should have before drifting to the table on which he rested his hand. Beside his hand was a steak knife for the main course later to come. His brow perked and bored fingers moved to pick it up. His other hand lay flat on the table top and he gripped the knife firmly before stabbing into the space between his outstretched index finger and thumb. He went on, stabbing quickly between each space, gradually picking up speed. Five finger fillet was a good game to play when one was bored.

When Whitley sat down Rikki's eyes went to her for a moment before she looked back at Evan, "I don't plan on hurting anyone unless they try and hurt Jamie or me, I'm not one to just randomly attack someone unless I'm forced to fight back I'm no threat" ,Rikki admitted before taking a large gulp from her now refilled glass. She could feel the alcohol getting to her and it was starting to relax her a bit but also made her very quick to be defensive with anything she found insulting.

Jamie smiled at Cynder's comments about her tattoos then when she had mentioned the artist the younger twins facial expression went from kind to sort of upset, "He....was, a fantastic artist" ,Jamie stated before smiling once more trying not to show her sadness. She took a sip of her juice and looked over to Rikki who was again sipping from her glass. "Rikki please slow down" ,she pleaded but only got a glare from her older twin.

When Seph mentioned that she hadn't seen her mentor yet Ryan shook her head, normally the mentors of the districts met with their tributes on the train. "If you'd like maybe Caleb can work with you, he's more clear headed and knows what he's talking about" ,Ryan suggested.

"I wouldn't mind at all, I don't think any tribute should go in without at least some kind of knowledge on how to survive, the trainers here can't teach you what I can because well they've never been in the arena" ,Caleb stated before taking a sip from his own glass.

When Seph made the comment about only bats being able to see in the dark Ryan thought for a moment then looked to Seph and smiled, "You're absolutely right, we have to figure out exactly what MacNimare has planned for them and we have about a week to do it, Caleb are you still in good with that gamemaker?" ,Ryan asked.

"Yeah but he probably won't give me any information if he thinks I'm gonna pass it along to the twins, whatever MacNimare has planned you know he's gonna want it to happen" ,Caleb stated.

"Fuck I know what I can do, it's gonna make my skin curl but...." ,Ryan began before gagging slightly. She knew MacNimare had the hots for her ever since she started her job. That's why he always visited her office when she was alone, always complimented her on her work, and always felt the need to touch her whenever he seen the opportunity. "I'll have an answer by the time I get back, Seph sit with Caleb I don't want you to think any less of me, what I'm about to do is gonna traumatize me for the rest of my life" ,Ryan stated before standing up. She turned and looked to the president and gave him a huge smile that lit up her whole face. When he smiled back she knew she had him hooked.

As she approached the table MacNimare pulled a chair out for her, another sign that she had him hooked. "Good evening sir" ,Ryan stated in her normal dark and husky tone as she sat down next to him. "So how has your night been so far?" ,she asked with a charming smile on her face.

MacNimare's eyes were fixed on the woman and he couldn't help but grin, "My night has been very good Ryanna, how has yours been?" ,he responded as he leaned closer to Ryan then poured her and himself a glass of wine. "Here drink this it's the best in house tonight" ,he stated with a hint of pride in his voice. The two conversed for about a half an hour, Ryan flirted and MacNimare ate it up and finally when Ryan got the answers she needed she reluctantly gave the man a soft kiss on the cheek and excused herself from his table. He too left his table to go mingle with the other guests again.

When Ryan returned to the table she looked to Caleb, "Two of the axes in the cornucopia have bombs in the handles, tell them to stick to the hatchets and swords" ,Ryan stated with a hint of disgust in her voice. She downed the rest of her whiskey in one gulp before her whole body shook and she nearly started crying. "I feel sick" ,she stated as she placed a hand on her stomach. Caleb slid another drink towards her without saying a word.

Ben nod "hey I'm Ben from district 3." Ben looked around it seemed like a lot of the tributes are around this twin girls it could have been a problem to stay around them cause he felt like they were mostly be targets. On the other hand if Mr. president wants them to die but better way to stick it to him to keep them alive.

Seph mention something about bats which would most likely be about who was going to come after them. but as long as he could keep a eye on them he could figure out who would come to take them out with all of the booty traps gone. Ben wasn't just good at build things from scraps but taking things apart too. As long as he could get on that team that is if not he would have to be a little shady about it.

The thing he didn't know what would be a wild card with be Cynder and Whitley. They were more loyal to this game and had a naïve view about this game and the capital in general. What would they do giving the chance to win the game to kill somebody.

First thing he had to do was to get hand to hand combat training. Take out some peacekeepers and somehow make it through the game alive.
