James Desmond -

Private Training

James be sure to act confident and snarky for the gamemakers. Show them you mean business and you aren't weak or scared. Walk straight towards the dummies and line them up in a row. Grab your Tridents and throw them at the dummies heads. Then grab your Machete and quickly but quietly, showing off your speed and stealth, cut off every dummies head. Then grab the dummies heads and throw them far across the room. Finally to finish off, quickly grab a trainer and show the gamemakers your hand to hand combat skills. Then leave with a sick smile on your face and show them you are ready for the games.

Group Training

James just stay low, don't talk or do anything with anyone. Disconnect yourself from the group. Practice everything since you'll never know what's inside the arena. Don't worry about anyone, don't try to prove you are the best but every now and again, just show off a little bit. Watch for peoples strengths and weaknesses, study and use these three days wisely, they will definetly help you in the arena

Eric Desmond -

Private Training

Eric use your spear and throwing knives. Begin by showing off your strength of long distance weapons. Grab some dummies and use your spear and throwing knives to rip their bodies apart from a long range. Try to throw these weapons quickly to show off your speed. Don't show off your sword and close combat strengths. You want to be noticed by sponsors without becoming a target. However, don't act weak or scared, act confident with what you show the gamemakers.

Group Training

Eric obvisouly, always be with and surrounding your alliance of Anti-Careers. You are the leader, so they are relying on you to make some decisions. Be sure not to come off as bossy for your alliance they will easily turn on you. You really need to dicuss everything with your group. Such as who you're targetting, what the arena could hold, where are you going to try and set up camp, etc. You always need to be studying your alliance so that when push comes to shove you can easily take them out. However, you guys are hardly Anti-Careers with only three members - especially when the careers have four. You need to combine with another small alliance, such as district partners or the 12 and 8 alliances. Training can do a lot for somebodies games, use these days well and wisely.

P.S To Alice, you could begin to write about their confusing about seeing their brothes, since they wouldn't know about the other being in the games with him. Although they were brothers, they saw very differently about their father - James in love with, while Eric prefferred it if their father just disappeared. So depending on how you want to portray james's attadute, they could maybe form an alliance if whatever was to happen. However if push came to shove, especially with only two days to go, they wouldn't try to hard to save the other. They have a connection but not love, they both won't to leave the arena however, not with the other.
