Also, for my advice:

Marcella, I am so happy you survived and you have food, water, and weapons. You also have nightlock, which I'm super happy about since now, you can use it. Nightlock is poisonous, so I'd advise you not to eat it (but you're smart enough not to, right?) and, instead, crush them up. The crushed up berries will make a type of liquid poison which you should rub your katana into. This way, when you're fighting someone, the poison from the nightlock will take into effect and kill the tribute upon contact, or shortly after contact. Over the course of the day, the nightlock berries should dry up and sort of make a coat around the katana, so you shouldn't have to reapply it, but just in case, only crush up a few berries at a time.

With the new twist, though, you should avoid the other tributes. You already know that Lightning's nearby, in fact, he's on the level right above you, and another threat, Elias, is located on the floor below you. Both are armed, so don't attack them. I read once that in order to defeat the enemy, you should let someone else defeat them. Now, this simply means that you should stay hidden and let the Careers do there thing: kill tributes. This way, not only will you be safe, but you'll also be able to get further into the Hunger Games without risking your own life. The twist is captivating and nerve-racking, since I have no idea who your partner may be, so just play it smart.
