User blog:The Targaryen of District 4/The Quick Games

These games are only a quickie and they'll be regular. I don't want to wait extremely long for submissions because I want to just get these games over and done with. There will be reaping, chariot parade, training, interview and games POVs. There will also be a victory tour POV included.

I'm doing this because I want to pass the time.

Tributes
'''^ As a twist, President Maysall has ordered one district to have two females compete. In this case, that is District 5.'''

Alliances
Alliances will be stated here. When a person dies, they will be taken out of the list.

Arena and Outfit
The arena for these games is a high school (partially Battle Royale inspired).

The Cornucopia is in front of the high school. The pedestals, like always, surround the Cornucopia.

There is also a field and forest on the right of the Cornucopia. However, it isn't safe there. Dangerous mutts lurk in the forest and any food provided there is poisonous. There is a lake which is safe to drink from in the day but at night, it becomes polluted.

The forest is only small and there are not many trees but the trees can give tributes a nice view of the arena.

The high school is very big in size. It consists of four different floors. There are several classrooms, giving tributes plenty of hiding spaces. There's also a canteen, sports hall (or as they say in America, gymnasium), changing rooms, drama hall/dance studio and science labs (my school in rl has all of these things).

At the back and the side of the school is an outside seating area, another field and some football pitches.

Arena Outfit
Females: Black blazer, white shirt, black tie, black skirt, white tights, black strap shoes.

Males: Black blazer, white shirt, black tie, black trousers, black shoes.

And on the back of the blazers is the tribute's district number.

Death Chart
Dead tributes will be listed here.

Odds
I will place odds on your tributes, depending on how well they do in training.

Summary of Characters
This is a summary of characters that I've created that have been mentioned in the Games.

Annamaria Stephayna
Age: 24

From: The Capitol

Occupation: District 5 Escort

Personality: A typical Capitol girl. Obsessed with makeup and jewellery so much that she likes to change her appearance almost every day. Loves the rich districts. Doesn't like being laughed at or mocked. Hard to please.

President Marcus Maysall
Age: 84

From: District 2

Occupation: President of Panem

Personality: Sadistic and evil old man from District 2 who won an edition of The Hunger Games before his rise to power as the President of Panem. Likes to torture people for fun and thinks of himself as the President that Panem needed when really, he's a cold-hearted dictator.

Has a pet snake which he uses to scare tributes during the Chariot Parade.

Adina Burnett
Age: 36

From: District 8

Occupation: Head Peacekeeper of District 8

Personality: Strict and mean. Rarely smiles or shows signs of happiness. Was also a previous victor of the Hunger Games, possibly leading to her rough personality and bitter attitude.

POVs
POVs begin here.

Lexi Greenway, District 5 Female
The Hunger Games. What comes into mind when you hear those words? Well there's killing, the Cornucopia bloodbath, tactics, the Careers, arena and many more stuff. But this year has been an exception. Unlike most years, there's not been much revealed about this year's Games. There's hardly been any advertisement on the Games.

Maybe privacy might be the theme of the Games this year? We'll just have to find out later today at the reaping.

I make my way out of the house with Mom and Dad. We gently stroll through the usual scenery of District 5. There's the old power plants, filling the air with billowing smoke. The smoke used to give us bad chesty coughs but now we're used to it.

All we could do was glance at our surroundings. They were familiar but it could be the last time I ever see District 5. It could also be the last moment I spend with my family before being catapulted into the games for unnecessary bloodshed.

Eventually, we arrive at the town square. I gulped intensely as I knew that this was where I had to part with my parents.

"Goodbye sweetheart and good luck. We'll support you every step of the way." Mom says, kissing me on the cheek. I 'repay' her with a warm hug.

"Thanks mom."

"Goodbye angel. Just remember what you're good at." Dad advises me. I also give him a warm hug.

"I will do, dad."

I let go and give my mom and dad one final goodbye.

"Goodbye mom and dad. If I die in the Games, keep in mind that I'll be watching from up there. I'll be the brightest star in the sky at night." I say, starting to cry. I could also see Mom and Dad jerking a few tears. After our family moment, the Peacekeepers take my parents to the barrier away from the 12-18 year old barriers. I let the Head Peacekeeper zap a little bit of blood from my finger, dab it on some sort of chart and scan the fingerprint. I couldn't see what my odds were since the side with the odds on was facing the Peacekeeper.

"Next." She shouted. A Peacekeeper escorts me into the 14 year olds barrier and I await the arrival of the district escort. I don't bother talking to any of the other 14 year olds, they were too busy gossiping and laughing amongst themselves anyway.

Mom and Dad were now nowhere in sight. I felt quite worried and anxious. Anxiety built up in me when I heard the sound of clinking high heels.

"Hello, District 5. Welcome to the reaping of the Quick Games!" The annoying voice of Annamaria Stephayna. Like always, she plays the same propaganda video from the Capitol. The President's boring voice makes me want to fall asleep again. I finally sigh with relief when the video ends.

"Wasn't that just great?" She asks. We frown back at her with no interest.

Annamaria, no.

We expect her to walk over to the female reaping bowl but instead, she grips the microphone in front of her.

"Before I do the reapings, there is one thing I need to tell you."

Oh god. Here we go.

"As part of a twist, we have randomly selected one district to have two female representatives. Can you guess which district has been selected?"

This is about as easy as those shape matching toys for infants.

"Dur, it's us!" Someone shouts from the male side. A few giggle and laugh. I try to hide away my anxiety and carry on observing what's going on.

"That's right, District 5. You've been chosen to have two female representatives." She says, starting to look annoyed. Then the moment came. The first female reaping.

"Bik Shire." She calls out. Most of the commotion came from behind me, meaning that Bik Shire was older than me. I finally realised who Bik Shire was when I saw a black haired girl being taken to the stage by Peacekeepers. She looked very serious, like she was prepared for it.

"Are you Bik Shire?" Annamaria asks.

"Obviously." Bik replies. More laughing continued until one of the Peacekeepers whipped the floor, silencing everybody. Even I jumped in fright.

"Now, for the male." She walked over to the male reaping bowl. Like always, a single white envelope was picked out. I closed my eyes, experimenting to see whether the atmosphere was better when my eyes were shut.

"Ivan Gorgoroth." She called out. This experiment was working. Even though I could hear shouting and talking, I felt more calm and content.

I open my eyes again. Ivan was tall and muscular, with blondish-brown hair and hazel eyes. I could already see what his strategies for the Games would be.

"I'm guessing your Ivan?" Annamaria asks, now looking kinda stressed.

"That's right, ma'am." He smirks cunningly at her, giving the impression that he was up to no good.

"And now for the second female representative." Once again, she walks over to the female reaping bowl. I decide to close my eyes again since I found it calming. Yet this time, it wasn't so calming. A unease had started in my stomach. Maybe this time, I would be the person reaped?

"Lexi Greenway."

My heart was racing. I couldn't believe it. I was the person reaped. My worst fears were confirmed.

I open my eyes and walk out of the barrier I was standing in. Everyone was now looking at me. The unease in my stomach continued. I never felt this nervous before.

"District 5, say goodbye to your tributes!" Annamaria shouts out.

The odds are certainly not in my favour.

Skiswalf Skaagilf, District 8 Male
I made my way to the square by myself. Due to a recent textile shortage, my parents were forced to work at the factory so they couldn't come to the reaping.

Masses of people were in my way. Some I recognised from school. I received a lot of dirty looks, mainly because I was thought of as annoying and awkward.

After waiting a long time in the queue, it was finally my turn to get my finger zapped. Unfortunately, the Head Peacekeeper, Adina Burnett, was the one available.

"NEXT!" She shouted. Unlike the other Peacekeepers, she didn't have her helmet on. She had extremely short hair, which only reached up to the back of her ears. Two strands were left at both sides of her face and were curled. Her hair was the same colour as a crow. And like always, she had a strict expression on her face.

I walk up to her and put my finger out. Hoping to get a different facial expression from her, I attempt to make conversation.

"Hi Adina."

She looks up at me.

"Whadd'ya want, kid?" She asks.

"I only wanted to say hi. And I'm not called 'kid', I'm called Skiswalf." I reply.

"Skis what? Anyway, why do I care what you're called? Shut up and get to the barrier you're meant to be in." She says nastily. I start to get quite angry myself. Angry enough that I couldn't resist the urge to yell in her face.

"Look,
