HG pre-games.

[CoolerThanIce]

This is the thread where all events before the actual games will take place.
That includes the reaping, escorting to the games, interviews and costume design for the tributes.

We will start with the reaping. As soon as we've found an escort, you're all free to to begin rp:ing.

Once the escort has welcomed the tributes to the games, you're all free to fire away!

Note: Don't ask questions in this thread. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the first thread I made (it's kinda a discussion thread now).

Octavia adjusted the microphone volume and simpered whilst squinting, to make the fake and constrained smile look a bit more natural. She was greeted by a crowd of young and frightened faces. One girl almost looked like she was about to pass out. Her eyes fixated on the girl and she was almost about to reach out a hand for the girl until she became aware of what she was doing and immediately straightened her arm. The children (because that was what they were) were divided into 12 groups, depending on which district they came from.

The president shot her an impatient and irritated glance. His snake-like eyes made her shiver each time she looked into them. She cleared her throat and finally spoke into the microphone:

"Welcome, welcome, welcome! You seem like a rather enthusiastic and agog crowd, don't you?" She uttered in a voice that sounded more shrill and insecure than cheerful and confident. She couldn't help but ogling the president whose look was now dark and deadly.

She brushed it off and continued "The time has come to select a courageous young man and woman from each district for the honor of representing their own district in the annual Hunger Games. But before we begin, we have a very special film for you, brought to you all the way from the capitol!" she managed to say in a powerful and assertive voice. She smiled to herself.

When the film was over, some of the faces in the crowd had gone from looking scared, pitiful and expressionless, to looking angry and almost furious.

"May the odds be ever in your favor and remember, volunteers are always appreciated!" she added and waved to the crowd in a queenly manner and bared her teeth in a wide and forced smile.

"Let the Hunger Games begin!"

Spoiler:

"We will start with District 1" Octavia announced and added with a wink "Ladies first"

She put her hand in the bowl and made sure to touch as many slips of papper as possible before she drew one from the bowl. The name on the scrap was rather odd and kind of ludicrous. "Who names their child Dynasty" she thought to herself.

"Could Dynasty Tenta come up to the podium?" she raised her voice, her eyes searching for the female tribute in the crowd.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dynasty!" the girl beside her hissed and drove her sharp elbow into her stomach.
"What!?" Dynasty hissed, irritated that she had been disrupted whilst filing her nails.
"Didn't you hear the announcement, you chicken head!" her classmate exclaimed and gave her a push forwards "Get going before the the peacemakers come and get you" she said anxiously.
Dynasty stared at her friend in disbelief, with a dumbfounded and startled expression on her beautiful face, making it look like something that could've easily belonged to a grotesque stone figure.
But she had never applied for tesserae! She had done everything she could to avoid having her name drawn. "This cannot be!" she thought to herself.
"Are you sure she said Dynasty and not Dina?" she frantically asked her friend whilst shooting a glance at Dina, a girl from her own district, who looked rather relieved. Her stomach tied itself into a knot. That moment made her realize that her friend wasn't lying.
"Yes, I'm a hundred percent sure, just go, they're already making their way over here!" her friend insisted and pointed towards the two muscular peacemakers who were marching towards them.
"So what? What can they do?" she said defiantly and cocked her left eyebrow. Her friend's eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Two minutes later she found herself being forcefully dragged towards the podium by the two peacemakers whilst furiously shouting profanities at them.

Donovan walked up to the podium when the woman asked for district 1. He could see the president from there. All going acording to plan. He though. Soon, he would be able to capitalize on the opportunity to end his mission. But not now. It was too soon.

Samuel stood at the podium after he had volunteered. "At this this way, I am only putting my self at risk and I can be there for my team mate. This useless bloodshed must stop one day, I am going to do everything in my power to win." Samuel thought to himself He just stood be Octavia acknowledging his life was now on the line.

Donovan looked around and he saw people braceing theirselves for the battle. He noticed people boast about their skills, and joke about the contest in general. A scowl and glare came across his face.
Idiots, He thought.

[ino>sakura!]

''hey whats up with the scowl??'' Paisley said smirking
