The games are comprised of 5 districts, each sending in 3 females and 3 males. Each person wants a chance to win, but are they willing to make sacrifices to achieve what they desire? ''

District 1- Filled with elegant oceans, which sparkle when the sun reflects off them. The buildings are comprised of lovely stone and each building is built to the owners wants. The people range from snotty rich people to the sweet and selfless. The district prohibits the use of guns, because they believe they are a cheap way to kill people. The people refer to themselves by the name "La haute société" which means High Society. Filled with elegance, everyone is doing their best and doing it beautifully, even when they are killing.

District 2- Filled with forests, the lush green areas provide many years worth of food to the district. Many people have comprised their houses out of logs. They are built with the best logs in the whole world, the other districts have nothing of the sort. The people are very close to each other, but with being close they often fight over land issues because of the trees in the area. They refer to themselves as "les amateurs d'arbres" which means Tree lovers. They are great with bladded weapons, and have plenty of practice with effortlessly cutting things down.

District 3- They are the common people, not caring about anything expenisvie materials. They live a very normal life, not expressing many emotions in what they do. They are more like the normal people and they are very down to Earth. They care more for themselves, and only care for others when they get something in return. They refer to them selves as the "roturier" which means commoner. They are deceptive, and use many people to their own purpose. They are well versed in any weapon and they don't favor any particular weapon.

District 4- They are very poor, they are the slums district. They steal from each other, even though they know they wont get much off each other. The houses are made of horrible materials and many don't even make it through a whole year, before they have to return back to the streets. They are very rude and hate anyone who is richer than they are and don't pity anyone who is in their own situation. They refer to themselves as the "pauvres" which means poor. They are very well versed in daggers as many have slit others throats to get what little they have.

District 5- They are the mysterious ones, they have metal gates around the district, no one who is foreign can come to the district unless you have authorization. They are very secretive in their own styles and have no clue if they can trust even their own neighbors. They build and make their own guns. They refer to themselves as the "inconnue" which means unknown. Each person build something fit for their own liking. The people give up their high tech materials each year to make money, the district keeps this incase a rebellion rises.

Arena Info


The Climatic Games, take place in a simulated computer-generated arena. The game makers have complete control over what goes on during the games. The tributes that are placed in the games are under watch of the Game maker the whole time. The tributes will be lined up in a circle, the trick is any slight movement and the Game maker will have the metal plate be set off. The games themselves are very dangerous now, from wildfires which can burn down the whole area within a few minutes, to freezing cold weather, cold enough to freeze the body from the inside out. However, the whole area will be darkened, with fog covering the whole area. Some area's will have water, however the game makers also create illusions, such as you might go to a river bed to receive water, but when you take a drink its revealed to be a forest fire which will engulf your body in flames. The whole arena is filled with mutts, but the tributes have to figure out if what they are fighting is real or maybe even the illusionment of an actual ally. The plants in the area are but normal plants except some have been genetically engineered to leave a tribute: tired, weak, paralyzed or even placed into a coma for up to a whole days worth of time. The arena is a forested area, but it has two mountains within the area and a lake in the middle with an underground sea cavern, but the further you go down, the less oxygen available and only great swimmers can go down that deep. Each tribute will be given a backpack on the metal plates and inside includes, a limited supply of water, survival knife, a meals worth of food, string and a special something that pertains to each districts sole import. Within the games there will also be acid rain showers, which can cause 1-2nd degree burns and also contaminate any water or food a tribute has. In the middle of the area in which the tributes start is the cornucopia, which is filled with extra supplies such as water, food, and weapons, but also a suprise signal for one expensively priced gift from any sponser without having to use any source of money. Within the days though the cornucopia will always reappear never in the same spot, so the tributes can't return to the old spot and expect it to be there again.

 Tributes  The Competitors Ball: Recreational purpose for alternative motives.

A brown haired woman with high cheeks bones and green eyes sat down on a radio broadcast over the capital news.

"Here we have it folks, the tributes coming into the beautiful prom-esque dance." Each tribute was given an hour to prepare for the dance and each will come out in a beautiful array of costumes. Deciding to change things up this year instead of having the boring old chariot ride, each person will be placed in the well masquerade dance. The style is presented so that you don't know who you are looking at, making you more aware of deception that the maskes hold behind them."

A man standing beside her, with his muscles and blonde hair and blue eyes started chiming in.

" The dance holds many secrets, because you have no clue of what your partner from your district will be wearing, keep your information secretive. Each of the tributes will be blindfolded and walked out into a room."

The Girl from earlier showed a diagram on the board of the room.

"Each tribute will be placed in a room, once the room door opens they will enter in a catwalk. The room will spin around and all doors connected to the outside will close, giving the tributes alone time. While this is going on the music will be enhanced to make the senses dull, seeing who has a powerfull mind to avoid spilling everything. Well I for am hoping for a romance to brew."

The man smirked and then nodded in approval. "May I say we have some dashing and elegant competitors this year, from boys and girls alike."

The girl grabbed a tissue from the box in front of her. "Yeah I can tell, your drool is everywhere on the table." She started laughing and the guy turned away from embarrassment.

She then pointed to the screen above their heads. "So lets get down to buisness here, we will give you a brief description of the tributes from each district. This shall be fun, I finally get to be paid to be honest, I'm ready to let my real opinion take over.

District 1
"What can I say? Other than each one of the tributes being drop dead handsome for the males and beautifully sexy for the females. To begin with lets just say I feel like a creeper considering most of the competitors are 15 years old."

"The two eldest memebers of District 1 are Xavier Doron and Marielle Jaffe, with both of them being the age of 18. Their district is the richest and most valuable of the ones we have brought here for the games. I just can't wait to see what elegant attire they will be dressed in. Only the finest and nothing less than the riches they have in their district i assume."

"Maroon seems to have a quiet and akward vibe to him, most likely a loner. Severus which means severe had a severe disruption with one of the capital members today, he didn't want them to touch any of his stuff, seems like he has trust issues. Xavier well lets just say we had a talk earlier today and the sarcastic prick called me a conserved virgin, refering to my open shirt revealing my cleavage. Ugh, I hope Jason had better luck with the female tributes he met up with because I have nothing left to say."

She crossed her legs and then turned to Jason the muscular host from earlier. She gave him a long stare and tapped her hands against her legs.

"Okay Veronica. I get the point its supposed to be a brief explanation, but your term for brief is I can sit here and never shut my mouth for the next 48 hours." She scoffed at the opinion of the host beside her and then turned away from him.

"Well lets see, who to begin with? lets start with Marielle. She is a very kind and caring person, she offered to help a little kid who had lost his mother in the crowd, luckily they found his mother. Next we have Haylah, which is a pretty unique name, she was the stuck up one of the group and referred to herself as the face of district 1, if that includes a someone you want to punch in the face to be the one who represents for your district then Haylah you have my vote. Finally we have Chardonnay, who is very ditsy, poor girl fell off the train when she arrived."

Jason was still thinking about how funny it was and then just blurted out laughing. He whispered into Veronica's ears and then she let out a little chuckle too. " Okay everyone, we will be back later to provide you with district's 2-5's tributes. I am so excited about meeting the district 4 people, I hear they are the poorest people, maybe I should throw a couple of dollars in their faces, show them what we make here, just kidding, maybe."

District 2
Veronica went and sat down on a chair next to Jason again. "Okay, how can I put this nicely, if I have to put up with seeing the district 2 tributes in a tree for the costumes, I will most likely put them on fire myself. Oh wait what kind of example would I be setting for mother Earth?"

She placed her hands on her lap and then looked directly into the camera. "Well we just got back with the district 2 tributes, the males are a whole lot different from district 1's. First off we have Anthony, Lets just say he was a well mannered man except he made everything a competion, even when leaving from the train he jumped out to be the first. Maximus, well he scared me to death, he was chanting about how much he wanted to kill, I'm glad I'm not a competitor. Lastly there was Edward, who actually didn't make me want to kill myself after the small chat, he was friendly, even offering to help one of the ladies off the train."

She stopped talking for a minute and placed her hand on her head. "God I'm glad that is over with, Jason please tell us about the girls so we can get this over with quicker and so I can go take a nap." She rolled her eyes and then Jason coughed.

"So the girls, they were something. Dawn was very shy and I noticed that when she stepped off the train, the poor girl about fainted in front of the crowds. Jordana was taking in the crowd and tried to get them to not take their attention off of her, she hated distractions. Then lastly there was Annastia, she was so boring I mean the whole time she was leaving the train, she had her face buried deep in a book about herbology. Ugh, I mean learning, how can you possibly want to actually do it when you dont have school."

He made a sign of him choking himself and then Veronica punched him in the arm and grabbed the glass of water in front of her. "Oh this should be good, next we have the normal people, ugh I just hate normal its so bland and boring I mean excitement is where everything is at now adays. Right Jason?"

He nodded in agreement and then took a bite of a sandwich he had on the table. "This work is making me hungry, if only we were given a buffet like the tributes. Want to join the games Veronica?" She chuckled and then grabbed a notebook on the table. "Yeah, but you would be dead lying on the floor. Have fun all the food would go to your gut. We have an image to keep. Now we will be discussing district 3 next."

District 3
Veronica got her glass of water out and held it up to the camera. "Now we get to dwell into district 3 who all together have just about as much personality as this glass of water." She put the glass down and then laid down on the couch. "I hope you all don't mind, but they basically almost put me to sleep, if it wasn't for Jason I would be passed out somewhere." She covered her face in the pillow. "Ugh, Jason you go first."

Jason started laughing at his co-host's behavior and then he poked her and she threw the pillow at him. "Okay from district 3 femals, well they were something. Chloe, well lets just say I wanted to choke her after she walked off the train and then proceeded to pour water all over me on purpose. Whitney, umm her singing was horrid and made my ears split in pain and Yasmine, she was viscious againt Whitney, even going as far to say that her singing was like nails on a chalk board."

He slouched into his chair and then cuddled against his pillow. "Veronica its your turn." He waited for her to respond and then he looked over and she had fallen asleep. "Get the hell up." He threw poured water on her head. She was drenched and then she looked over at Jason and then stuck the pillow over his head and then proceeded to sit on the pillow.

"Okay so the district 3 males, lets start with Redlow. He was really enjoying the company at the train, while I for one wanted nothing to do with any of them. Then we had Lucas, god I could tell on his face he was insecure I mean, normal people unlike me always get that feeling. Last we had Lyno, who wouldn't shut up the whole time, oh my god what an annoying tribute. Ugh, I'm go glad these post- interview descriptions are almost over."

She felt Jason flailing around under her and then she quickly got up because she had forgot he was even under there. "Oh my, are you okay?" He was trying to catch his breath and then he passed out onto the floor. "Oh well, he will be back soon enough to talk to us about the district 4 females, hopefully." She got down on the ground and waved a piece of cloth over his face.

District 4
"Welcome back, Jason will not be able to join us, so I got another male to cover his place." She pointed to the guy next to her with dark brown hair and deep sea blue eyes. "So everyone this is Alex, he will be taking over while they take Jason to the hospital."

Alex waved at the camera and then sat down in the seat Jason was sitting in. "So Alex, pour water on me and then you will be visiting Jason." He seemed scared and the he nodded. "Good so I got to meet the dirt poor males, oh what fun that was, I have never had as much fun in my life to see how horrible it can get past these walls."

She laughed and Alex gave her a nasty look. "So back to the discriptions umm well I felt bad for them, I mean they were all poor, so I threw them each a quarter, not like they are gonna live to put it to their names. Well anyways first I met Jake and boy does he hate every competitor out there, almost as much as I hate doing this. Secondly we had Calix, oh my what a handsome boy, if he was dirt poor i might have actually went out with him once, if I was younger. Lastly to round out the poorest district we have Frank. Is it bad I was seduced by a 18 year old?"

She akwardly poked Alex and then made a motion with her hands to move things along. "Okay the first female was Daria, she would not say a thing, to anyone for the matter. Next we had Zia, she was basically the same as Daria, a snooze fest. Lastly I was actually suprised, someone with an actual personality, Drina was hoping around and around and she made me dizzy."

Veronica was playing with something and then Alex leaned over and saw it was dirt. "Where did you get that?" She smirked and then started laughing. "It's kinda obvious, there was a pile coming from the tributes as they exited the train. Guess thats where the saying dirt poor comes from." Alex rolled his eyes and then brushed her dirt away. "We will be right back, we will be discussing the final district and how mysterious the people from it are."

District 5
Veronica was clapping now and she jumping up in the seat. "Yes, its finally over with. I can finally leave after I give this." She was jumping so hard she fell and hit her head againt the counter in front of her and recieved a loud laugh from Alex.

"Not funny, anyways the secrets were kept hidden with this crowd. The first person off was Krijger, and he left the others in the dust and didn't even both to look at the crowd. Second to follow was Griffon who walked off slowly and avoided all the gazes. Lastly Nikolai got off the train and was eating out of the hands of the people in the district, he was being so prideful that he forgot where he was going and walked into a wall."

She eagerly shook Alex. "Come on, I'm ready to get done with this. Hurry up already." He repositoned himself and then stared at Veronica. "I'm gonna take a few minutes to drink something." Veronica shot him the evil eyes as he slowly sipped the water. Veronica ended up snatching the glass out of his hand which made him chuckle.

"So the females from the district were all three different from each other. Calypso would not talk to any of the other three who were walking beside her, she kept to herself. Rosa was talking for a moment and then picked up a dead flower, she then proceeded to tear up, I believe she should live in district 2. Lastly we had Jennika, she was talking sweetly to the girls, but when they looked away you could tell she hated every minute of it."

Veronica burst up from the table and then ran to the door. "Yes its finished, finally." Alex slowly got up and walked out of the room. He slowly turned to the camera. "Thats all, stay tuned tomorrow for the tribute interviews, where hopefully things will go alot smoother." The Capital Ball: Being Hidden Behind a Mask, Can Only Tell Half The Story The Tributes are being placed in their outfits and are going to be released from their rooms to a secret passageway into a little room, which will have a walk way out onto the actual dance floor, where the real dance will begin. Behind the mask is a tribute, but who that tribute is remains a secret to each other. Be prepared for the Dance, secrets will be revealed, death might even take over someone, who will it be?

Each person will be video taped and then blindfolded and then the blindfold will be taken off of them in the small room. These Games couldn't have gotten more secretive.

Xavier Doron
The room is empty except a couch and a tv, he walked over to the T.V. and then it came on. "Hello Xavier, It's Veronica. Tonight there will be a special dance, the dance not only will be filled with joy and laughter, but there will also be a suprise twist. The capital has provided us with a very special outfit for you."

He looked around and then in a glass case was a pitch black tux, with a white diamond encrusted bowtie. Then laying next to the tux was a mask, the mask was quite unique, The design was of a golden key, that was lying next to a white lock, with key whole being pitch black.

"What is this?" He said pulling the mask up to his face. She smiled and then pulled up the mask on the video screen. "That is the mask of secrets, The mask knows everything, how long can you keep everything you know, before everything becomes foreign like it was never actually real?"

He placed the tux on and then placed the mask over his face, it was tight and then he felt something sharp go into his face. "The needle is a sedative, knocks the patient out, see you when you wake up." He fell to the floor and then he noticed strange dark figures walking into a room, but he couldn't make anything out and he was getting sleepy, so he gave in.

Severus Kerner
The room had masks all over it, all were happy and extatic, The T.V. came on and then Veronica came on the screen. "Welcome Severus, the challenge tonight is whether or not you can keep a serious face, everyone likes a mysterious boy, but will the pressure of the lies you will tell get you?"

He looked around and then a white Tux with blue saphires was laying on a wall next to a mask much different than all the other in the room. He saw the mask and it showed a face of seriousness, but the face also showed a wicked side in the mix, the wicked side as if it's mouth was stained red, which was encrusted in Rubies.

"We will see how long it takes, before the real you comes out, are you as levelheaded as you think you are? Or is it just another mask hiding what you really are?" The girl chuckled and then the glass case opened. He picked up tux and placed it on and put the bowtie on. "Is this safe?"

He placed the mask on and then it constricted his face, he was trying to rip it off and then the needle stabbed into his face and hid blood cascaded down the side of his mouth. "If you already have lost your cool, then its only a matter of time until we see what is to fully happen."

She was becoming blurry and then he passed out on the ground. "The mask of Seriousness, how long can you keep the face before you finally break and become the true you?"

Maroon Cutter
The room he was in was filled with silence. The T.V. started glowing and then Veronica came on. "Maroon, the room is quiet isn't it, how long can you remain quiet before you spill everything? Every secret you have ever kept, every lie you have every told. What happens if it all come out?"

His face was blood red and then he noticed a tux hanging from the wall, the tux was grey. "The color represents how you truly are, to others on the outside, you are a empty quite person, while on the inside, you are nothing more than a loud human, always driving yourself crazy with the things that you know."

He then picked up the mask, the mask was quite unique, it was a mask covering form his nose up, the pattern on it was unlike anything he had seen before. It was swirls of black and white diamonds that formed into a finger pressed against lips. veronica appeared on the screen. "That is the mask of quiet,  keep the mouth sealed and then nothing can be told, nothing like a little secret, the more you keep, the more they just want to slip out."

He placed the mask on his head and then it attatched to his face. "Keep quiet or the mask just might permanently shut you up." He fell to the ground and then his voice stopped. He tried reaching up, but then it went pitch black and he heard whispers.

Haylah Zimmerman
She was placed in a room where many faces were painted on the wall, each person had their eyes on her. The T.V. turned on and then Alex could be seen. "Hello Haylah, you have always been the center of attention haven't you? You are mrs. popularity."

She nodded and then flipped her hair. "Well yeah, I mean do you not see me?" He smirked. "Yeah I see you all right, but I see the real you, the one you keep hidden from everyone including yourself." She scoffed at his remark and then the T.V. screen turned off and behind it revealed a red ball gown, with a red bow.

She stood in front of the beauty and then placed the dress on and tied her hair using the bow. She then turned and noticed a mask on a mannequin's head. It was encrusted in pearls and shaped into a crown. "You said it yourself, you are the center of attention, but how will you feel when you lose all of it?"

She placed the beautiful mask on and then she felt a sharp pain in her lip. "What," She then fell to the ground and then hear vision started to blur. "Who is gonna be willing to pick you up not that you have fallen? The so called friend of yours are no where, you are no different than anybody else here, you have nobody."

Chardonnay Aude
The room she was in was filled with all sorts of creativive drawings and sculptures and paintings. "Chardonnay, hun the creativity stems from you, the more we see from you the more mysterious things get. Do you know the difference between reality and imagination?"

She picked up a paintbrush and then drew something on the wall, the drawing rose off the wall and then went onto the floor where it burst into paint. "How did you do that?" Alex smiled and then pointed at her. "I didn't do it you did, anything you draw can be real if you put your mind to it, but don't lose sight of whats reality."

She looked around the room and behind two huge paintbrushes was a black dress with white topaz on it. "Tonight you are the canvas, you are to create the real you tonight, before you lose sight of yourself from being worried about how everyone else is a masterpiece and you are a work in progress."

She then looked in the middle of the room was a mask, the mask was made of many colored diamonds which formed a paintbrush and on the tip black paint in the forms of coal. "The black means that you aren't seeing yourself in color, you aren't seeing the beauty of the one true beholder."

She placed the mask on and then her visio began to blur once the needle wen't into her skin and then flashes of bright colors swirled around in her head.

Marielle Jaffe
The room she was in was painted in the form of the sea. "The room around you sets off your true self, the calm and collected person that you are. You trully are the one who keeps herself together when things start to spiral out of control."

She touched the waves and then everything she hated seemed to go away. She then looked around the room and then she noticed a blue dress covered in white diamonds. "This is so beautiful." She then looked up and then noticed a mask hanging from the ceiling.

She picked it up and then noticed the swirling patten of the waves and the light colors of blue, green and purple mixed into the design out of diamonds. "The waves on the mask are calm, just like you, but they can't always accept pressure and they can get out of hand and cause huge massive changes. Just like you can."

She placed the dress on and then the mask and then she feel into a peaceful sleep, she could hear the ocean through the breeze in the room. Her body hit the carper softly as to guards came in and grabbed hold of her body and carried her out of the room.

"It's only a matter of time before a calm wave turns into a violent storm, lets see how long things can last." She chuckled.

Anthony Proxy
He was placed in a room which was mostly empty except for glass showcase of clothing. "Hello Anthony, other than the fact of how you acted with me before, you have tried to put on a front, your own mask. Well now its time you finally realized the true nature of yourself."

He tried to open the glass case but nothing would budge. "Thats not the real case." He ignored her and then smashed into the case, all the pieces of glass fell into the floor, revealing nothing to be inside. "You see arrogance, it got the best of you, I told you nothing was in there, but you didn't listen."

Then a tux was laid on the table, then he noticed a mask lying beside it, the mask was painted in green and brown, showing off the true colors of earth, but there was something unusual. In the middle of the mask was a depiction of a lion made out of dark black diamonds.

"The lion a perfect example of you, it is an arrogant animal, it believes that it is the highest being out there among everything else, but will soon realize that it's when it doesn't have anything to feed off of. Thats exacly how you are, you are nothing and you will be exposed for nothing, once everything stops following you and making you out to be it's leader."

He placed the mask on his head and then a needle was injected into his forehead. "The bigger they are, the harder they will fall, lets just hope you are still able to after everything that happens tonight.

Maximus Vanderschnootz
The room he was in was covered in red, the dark crimson red that almost looks like blood had stained everything in the room. "Maximus, how cruel can you get? I mean everything about you points off to how cruel you are and how sadistic your nature is."

He touched the wall and then his hands were stained in blood, He backed away and started blinking and the red was gone. "How would you feel when that touch guy act of yours is gone? How would you feel if you were against ever killing something?"

He backed up into something and then noticed it was a tux, it was red, like the blood covering the whole room, along beside it was a mask which had a skull burried in the dirt. "How many time have you wanted to kill? How many time have you killed, How many time are you going to kill? The blood all around this room is a symbol of what you are doing and how much has already been done, who knows your blood might shed by you too."

He placed the mask on and then his blood started pouring out from the needle and it filled up a scale on the wall beside him, the heart was overweighed by the sword right across from it. "Such a shame, leting battle rule you more than your heart does. Edward Monoghan

The room he was in was covered in ice. "Chill to the bone right, you are very cool. You think you are so chill that nothing will ever bother you right?" You are mistaken cause even the cool kids are eventually melted to the point where they are no different."

He looked around and noticed a blue tux laying on an ice crystal in the middle of the room. Next to it a mask which was covered in ice bits but also formed the symbol of an ice cube, which was partially melted. "The mask shows how you may be cool now, but even now your disguise is melting.

He placed the tux and the mask on and then the room started to melt as he passed out. The people came and drug him out of the room and then something started happening all the ice formed into a heart, which slowly started melting, until it was nothing.

Dawn Santori
She was in a room full of manequin, the people crowded the whole room. "Hey Dawn, we understand you are shy, the more people around means the more beating eyes staring at you. People can be so judgmental, I'm sure you know that though I mean you have been judged a lot."

She held her arm and then tried not to listen and then came upon a pink dress behind the sea of people. "You have to retrieve that." She started walking and then the mannequin's started talking and saying rude phrases about her. She tried to keep going and finally reached the dress.

She came up on the pink dress and then laying beside it was a mask, the mask had a picture of a bunny on it. "The bunny is docile like you Dawn, you and the bunny are both easily manipulated into believing things that aren't true." She started feeling sad.

She placed the mask on and then the people started getting closer and closer, their faces were full of evil like they wanted to get her. She tried to struggle to get them away but nothing worked and then she fell asleep when they got her

Annastia Bios
The room she was in was covered in trees, it was like the eternal Earth all within her hands. She looked around and the plants were full of life and healthy. "This is what a great herbology lesson can provide for a growing garden. I am glad the knowledge was well put.

She danced around the room and then stopped when she came up on the vines that were wrapped around a green dress, with a flower head piece. She placed both things on and then stopped when she noticed her mask behind help up by three seperate vines.

She picked up the mask and then stared at it, the brown and green colors forming a tree in the middle. "This is a great example for you, all great information extends from somewhere, in this case it stems from the treeof life, which gives life to everything else."

She placed her mask on and then the vines started closing in on her and then she passed out when they wraped her up like a cocoon.

Jordana Rusty
She was in a room where all the sounds were causing her to go insane. They were annoying her so much that it was almost about to make her cry. "No one like distractions, they cause people to become very upset, I'm sure you out of everyone else here should know that."

She looked around the room and covered her ears trying not to listen to the annoying sounds until she fell and ended up in front of her dress. She placed the purple puffy dress on and then looked around the room before she fell again.

This time she landed beside her mak, The yellowish color really complimented her dress and she enjoyed the two colors. She looked at the mask and in the middle was two red horns. She picked the mask up and then she looked and noticed a pointed tail.

"The evilness inside you is what is actually causing you to become distracted from everything else." She placed the mask on and then she looked around and noticed an evil glowing red version of herself with piercing black eyes coming closer. She cried out as her tears slowly stopped and she was still. Redlow Fexpo

He looked around the room and noticed all the chemicals on the wall, explosive powder, he remembers it well with his expierences. He then looked around the corner and then he noticed bombs placed all the way across the room and then a tv in the middle.

He approached the tv and then a small explosion went off like a firecracker and then tv turned on. "Hello Redlow, the display has been put on just for you, how obsessive are you over things that go tick? You in yourself are like a ticking bomb, one wick away from blowing up."

He turned his head to the side and then noticed a tux on a table. He picked up the black tux and then placed it on and then noticed a mask, which was hanging down from the ceiling. He picked it up and drew it closer to his face and then he noticed the design of of a bomb, but the wick was already gone and what looked like blood sprayed all across the mask.

" The mask represents your change in the games, you are peaceful now, but like everyone else, you will become caught up in the kill and will kill at all costs. Until you end up dead yourself." The tv shut off and then he decided to try on the mask and then a small needle pricked his cheek and then he collapsed after a vision of a bomb went off.

Lucas Sunsong
He looked around the room he was placed in and noticed the how empty it was, he also had to think about himself how he felt about himself, empty, even though he wants the best for himself, even if others don't express that about him.

He walked up next to a tv and then it turned on. "How hard is it? Being alone all the time, like you just get pushed around and no one is there because you are too shy to make friends? You are closed off from everyone, including yourself most of the time."

He shamefully looked away and saw a white tux in a case, the tux was laying beside a mask, he couldn't see it from where he was standing so he walked over to the mask. The mask showed and empty room filled with darkness. "Its how you feel about yourself on the inside."

He placed his tux on and then grabbed a hold of the mask and almost placed it on, but then he sat down and laid against the wall, He put in on finally, then he felt a small prick and then he drifted off as everything he saw was complete darkness.

Lyno Nactuna
He started walking along the room he was in, he knew there was something going on, but he couldn't place his finger on it. He looked around and noticed a tv and behind it all sorts of weapons, he felt intimidated. He walked up towards the tv and then it turned on.

"Hello Lyno, you are one of the smarter competitors that came with you from district 3, the most down to earth and normal tributes. It's weird having to be face with all the weapons of past champions who slayed their way to victory, blood still stained on their weapons."

He backed away and then ran into something soft and turned around and saw the bright red color and thought it was blood, but it was actually a red tux. "The red represents the blood of all those who have been slayed, knowing that there have been so many who have died just for one victor, and for someone to have more than one."

He gently grabbed the tux and put it on, even though the story made him feel uncomfortable. He looked around and then saw a mask. "A masquerade?" He asked. He grabbed the mask and held it closer to his face and it was a pile of weapons and then someone standing on top of them. "Will you rise to the top or be a tool on the bottom?" He placed the mask on and then he started to feel sick and then he collapsed into the floor. Yasmin Veleno

She woke up laying on the cold ground, The ground was like ice. She stood up and looked around the room, pictures of couples all over the wall. She proceeded to rip them off the wall and then she looked over at a tv in the middle of the room.

"Yasmin, such a cold personality. You really are as selfish as everyone says you are." Yasmin scoffed at the idea and flicked the girl off on the tv. She walked around the room avoiding the tv and came upon a purple prom dress with a crown of flowers.

She put the dress and the crown on, but then stopped when she noticed some cards laying beside her mask. "Whats this?" She picked up one of the cards and noticed the name "The lovers." She remembered her boyfriend from a month ago, she actually had feelings for him and then that horrible night. She shook it off and then grabbed the second card.

She held it in her shaking hands when she noticed the name "Death." She dropped the card and remembered their last night, How when she opened her eyes from when she was about to kiss him and then she heard screams and then his body was engulfed in flames. She looked over and noticed her mask laying face down, she turned it around and looked at the design, there was a girl and boy holding hands and then a sword through their chests.

"Try it on, Those two cards describe you life perfectly don't they?" She grabbed the mask and then tried it on. She felt a small prick and then she opened her eyes and then these flames started approaching her.

Whitney Spears
She looked around the room she woke up in and then she heard music playing, first all sweet and then it turned to slow sadness. "Welcome Whitney, you like to preform music, but do you really know the whole message behind a song or is it all about the money?"

She looked around and noticed all these musical notes around the room and all these sheet music. She turned around and grabbed one off the stand and looked over it and then crumbled it up and threw it on the ground. "Older cousin problems? Always the shadow."

She nodded and then looked around and found a silver puffy dress and then placed it on. "This is so pretty." She twirled around and then stopped when she noticed a mask behind held up by two half quarter notes. She picked it up and brought it closer to her face.

She looked at the design and it was a musical note in the middle. She placed the mask on and then she started hearing some music play and then noticed it turned into a sad vibe and then she felt a prick and then the music sounded dramatic and then she passed out.

Chloe Black
She looked around the room and then noticed pictures of the students she had went to school with. She become angered and grabbed all their pictures and then ripped them to shreds and when then fell into the floor and then she could hear all their voices teasing her.

She turned to the tv all full of anger. "I see you met the welcoming guests. They are very fluent in words arent they." She clenched her fists and then punched a hole in the wall. "What is the deal with this?" The girl on the tv laughed and then pointed to the wall behind her.

She turned her body quickly and noticed a dress on the wall, it was a black and it was strapless dress that hung all the way down to her knees. She placed it on and then looked at herself in the mirror. "I'm so beautiful, more so than any of the girls in that school." She twirled around and then stopped when she came upon a mask.

She picked up the mask and saw a mirror on it, the reflection of a little girl. "The image shows, you as a little girl vs the image you see of yourself in the mirror. You were different when you were younger. You were nice and now the teasing has left you with a bitter taste for everyone who can't match your beauty. Well beauty is only skin deep, you have a lot of layers to go through before you reach your actual beauty."

She rolled her eyes and then placed the mask on and she felt a small prick, she looked into the mirror and then she noticed her dead body and then the glass shattering. She fell to the ground and then fell asleep. Jake Taesond

He looked around the room and noticed how everything was all poor and run down, just like his home, all poor. He spat on the ground and then picked up a rag that had been torn to shreds and then tore it apart. "This isn't funny, you all sit there and have your fun."

He turned his direction towards the tv behind him. "Jake, how do you like the area? Its a replica of the trainwreck of district 4, the poorest district." He slammed his fist into the wall and then a picture frame fell on the ground and it caused him to step back for a minute.

He picked the picture frame up and noticed it was similar to the one he had broken when he was younger, it was of his family, but since he was too poor, he never could get enough money to ever replace the one he had broken and has lived with the sadness all his life.

"We have allowed you to live like a decent human being for these few nights. Enjoy it while it lasts." He looked around and noticed a Gold tux and he placed it on and then he looked in the mirror and noticed how clean he looks compared to how he always looked in district 4.

He then grabbed his mask which had the symbol of a coin. "The coin represents all the money you could make by winning or all the money your parents will have to pay to recieve your body after your death." He placed the mask on and then felt sleepy after a prick and fell to the ground. Calix Storm

He looked around the room and noticed all the weapons laying around. He felt the joy of killing overcome him and then he rushed over to the weapons and grabbed an spear and then threw it into the target on the wall behind him and then he picked up a sword.

He stopped when he noticed the tv turn on behind him. "Hello Calix, the most handsomest tribute in the games, breaking hearts as much as you break bones." He smirked at the saying and then brought his sword down and then cut off the head of a dummy and then the arms.

He looked around and then he noticed a trident laying on the floor, he dropped the sword and raced over and grabbed the trident and then threw it straight into the dummys chest and then pulled it out and turned and saw a black tux.

He placed the black tux on and then noticed a mask laying beside of it and he picked it up and then he noticed the symbol and it was of a trident. "Your favorite weapon might even become the reason of your downfall." He ignored the saying and placed his mask over his face and then he felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Frank Ocean

He looked around the room and saw nets plastered all around the room as if he was in a huge net himself and that he would be caught any minute. He started feeling the nets and noticed how some were knotted less than others and he tried to fix one.

He turned when he notcied the tv turn on. "Hey Frank, you are really cute for someone from such a filthy place, its really a shame, because you could find so many more prettier girls outside of your district, but you are stuck with the ugly ones."

He looked around the room and just tried to think for a moment, had all the girls he really liked been that ugly? He turned and noticed a white tux. He put it on and then turned and noticed a mask on the other side of it, he picked it up and then brought it closer to his face.

The mask had a net on it. "Try not to get caught up in lies." He placed the mask on and then he felt his eyes get heavy and then he closed them and fell onto the ground. Daria Suter

She woke up on the floor and then looked around on the ground, noticing many poker chips along the floor and then she found many mask on the walls. She turned around when she noticed the tv turning on and then she became startled a little bit.

"Daria, one of the richest families in the poorest of places, you are really hated arent you? I mean everyone around you basically resents you." She raised her fist but then stopped noticing that slamming her fist into a tv wouldn't solve anything and would just make things worse.

She turned around and then started walking to the closet door and opened it revealing an orange sundress. She placed it on and it fit comfortably because she had always wore one because the others were too expensive so the sundresses were the richer clothing in dsitrict 4.

She grabbed her mask also and then noticed all on playing cards the queens. "Four of a kind, almost like you, mysterious layers packed one on top of the other, its only a matter of time before they start peeling and we get to know the real you."

She placed the mask on and then fell asleep. Zia Clow

She woke up in a chair and then she looked around the room. She saw all sorts of knives all over the room and she tried out each one and they all hit the center of the target, she has been training for so long and its so easy for her now and she knows all the vital organs

She looked around the room and then saw a tv. "Hello Zia, you have had practice I see with throwing knives, your aim is great and it proves how much of an intent you have on killing someone." She started shaking with happiness when she threw one into a dummy's head

She looked around the room again and saw a brown dress which she happily put on and then she looked at herself in the mirror and then notices some cuts running down her arm and then she started freaking out and then she knocked over a table revealing a mask.

She looked at the mask and then it has a knife on it. "The knife represents the quick and painless way of death, or the agonizing pain of having not taken you own life away yet." She looked at the cuts and then tears started coming out of her eyes.

She placed the mask on and then went into a deep sleep. Drina Vox

She looked around the room and then got a book off the shelf and sat down on a little chair and then started reading until she noticed the tv had come on. "Hello Drina, you seem like a very bright girl, personality and intelligence."

She smiled and then put down the book and nestled herself up in the chair and looked at the tv. "Drina, for being in the situation you are at home, you don't seem very sad about it." She nodded and then grabbed her book. "Yeah it doesn't bother me, money isnt everything."

She got back up and then started walking towards the book shelf and then grabbed a white dress she had found. She placed it on and then spun around while reading her book. She then looked back and noticed she had missed her mask and ran back over to get it.

She bent down and grabbed the mask and noticed a book on it. "The book shows how much knowledge you have, but that alone may not be enough to help you win." She placed her book down and then placed the mask over her head.

She felt something weird and then fell down onto the ground. Krijger Schurk

He woke up in a room, the space in the room was very limited and it was very encasing. He stood up and looked around the room and noticed a claw in the middle of the room and then he touched his face, the claw was of a bear, it reminds him of how he was mauled.

He started walking towards the claw and then picked up the claw and then the tv behind him turned on and he became startled. "Hello Krijger, nice scar on your face, I hope the claw really set the mood of the whole situation of what happened."

He put the claw back down and then started looking around the room and noticed a black tux laying next to a dead bear on a table. He picked it up and placed it on, and then started walking away and then noticed a mask lying on the table next to it.

He picked up the mask and noticed the design, it was of a bear claw. He picked it up and then felt it and then the images of his attack came flashing back and then he fell to the floor. "Strong memories, and being haunted by the past, good luck conquering the past, when the games control you."

He placed the mask on and then he saw something slash at him and then he fell down on the ground, incapacitated. Griffon Skulleck

He looked around the room and then noticed all sorts of pictures around the walls from pictures of places along the world. He had always wished he could leave his district and visit other places and not be tied down to where he lived, well he sort of got it.

He walked around the room and then noticed a tv in the room and then he started to hear rushing water, he turned and then noticed a water fountain in the back of the room and then the tv turned on. "Hello Griffon, the world is a vast place, will you achieve more or die before you go anywhere?"

He looked out his window and then saw a large moutain in the background. He then looked around the room and then he noticed a blue tux and then he placed it on and then he started walking away and then something caught his attention.

He started walking to the waterfountain after he notcied something sparkling in it, he looked in the water and noticed a mask, he picked it up and noticed there wasnt water in the fountain.

He placed the mask on and then he fell. Nikolai Ivanov

He looked around the room and then he started walking towards a picture of a pair of twins sitting together eating ice cream. He took a closer look and then noticed it was of him and his brother. "Hey this me and my brother, how did this get here?"

He put the picture down and then he turned to the tv in the middle of the room that had just turned on. "Hello Nikolai, I hear your brother is in the games with you, how will it feel if you end up killing him or he ends up killing you?" He grabbed the picture and started looking at it.

"He would never do that to me, we will both win this year." He felt confident, but there was a side deep inside of him that was worried if his brother would actually want to kill him. He dropped the picture on the ground and then it smashed and his picture was broken while his brothers was fine.

"That is a bad omen, you might want to watch your back." He looked around and found a tux and placed it on and then he went and grabbed the mask which had glass pieces etched into it. He placed it on and then he started to feel sick and then he fell still. Calypso Davros

She got up and then looked around the room and then noticed little cannon like things that are outside of the walls. She started walking a wall and then wires started coming out of the room and then she ducked and then wrapped a wire around her hand.

She broke the wire off and then took chop stick out of her hair and then her black hair fell down and then she tied it around her chop stick and then threw it into the ceiling and then the the wire came lose and then the chopstick started falling down towards her.

She backed away and then a wire shot out and tied around the wire and then shot into the cannons, destroying them and then she walked onto the walls and grabbed her chops sticks and placed them in her hair and landed on one hand. She heard clapping and noticed a girl on the tv clapping.

"Good job Calypso, the talent of taking a sing wire and making it into a devious trap to not only destroy the cannons but to also provide safety from it not hitting you." She smiled and then looked around and noticed a crimson red dress, she placed it on and then grabbed the mask next to it.

She looked down at the mask and then noticed the symbol of wire formed into hands. She placed the mask on and then she started to feel weak and then she fell to the ground her chopsticks sticking into the floor. Rosa Solarie

She looked around the room and then saw a small little plant in the middle of the room, she noticed it was wilting away and then she grabbed the water container right beside her. She poured the water on the plant and then the plant stood upright healthy.

"How is that possible?" She said dropping the cantainer and then she turned around when she noticed the tv hehind her turn on. "The mixture is mystical, used from the best chemicals in the world only found here in the capital. It was forged together during the dying days of the games and afterwards after the sudden change in the climate."

She touched the plant and then the plants wilted and then died. She fell back and then tears started falling. "What happened?" She got back up and then backed up into a dress which was brown and black. She placed it on and then stopped infront of a mask.

She picked it up and then it was a crumbling leaf. She almost placed it up to her face and then she stopped when the pot exploded. She backed away and then she noticed something lying down in the middle of the pot and then she started walking to get it.

She bent down and picked up a necklace which had a plant wrapped around it. She put the necklace on and then placed her mask on and then she collapsed onto the ground. Jennika Acropolis

She stood up and then she started walking through this empty room with all the lights off and then they turned on real quickly and then she stopped moving at the sight of a bottle of alcohol. She backed up away from the bottle and then she backed into a bottle.

She twirled around and then it broke onto the floor and then she started having memories come back and covered her head. She thought her father and mother were gonna bust a bottle over her head. She looked down at her arm and noticed the scars. She saw a black dress and placed it on.

The scars were actually the result of them cutting her, she suffered a lot, all because of them. She looked back and noticed a tv turning on. "Jennika, the bottles only stack higher, you would know, I mean your parents cared more about them than you."

She threw a battle into the tv and then the bottle shattered into millions of pieces and then she dropped to the ground and then started crying. She looked down and noticed the reflection of a mask in the glass. She stood up and then walked over to the mask.

She picked the mask up and looked and saw the mark of a bottle on it. She picked up the mask and then placed it on and then she fell to the ground onto the glass.

All the tributes woke up when the doors to the next room opened up. They all stood in the middle of the room and then they all sat down in a chair. The video monitor above them turned on and then They saw Veronica and Jason sitting in chairs. "Hello beautiful and not so beautiful tributes, welcome to the first Masquerade Ball. The charriots were boring, so we decided to get rid of them, best decision of the entire Capital."

Jason chuckled and then looked towards Veronica. " Well Veronica, tonight should get juicy with details, take a good look around, you have no idea who you are looking at, you have no idea who you will be talking to and you have no idea who is being real from who is fake." The tributes looked around at each other and then the video panned in on Veronica.

"Well as for tonight goes, just have fun and dance with who ever you want. Don't worry about anything but having a good time. The more serious stuff comes later on during the training days and interviews, which sadly won't be held by us this year." One of the tribute shouted yes and Veronica shot him a dangerous looking glare. "Well have fun and don't get too roudy." She smiled and then waved goodbye with Jason and then the screen turned off.

Krijger got up and got her a drink and gave it to her, but they both still avoided any conversation.

All the tributes noticed a girl sitting in the middle of the seats still, she had her hair french braided and she was wearing a gold dress, she was also wearing a mask with glitter on it. All the tributes avoided her and then started walking towards the disco ball. The girl stood up and then started looking at all of them. "Get out while you all still can." The tributes turned to her.

She pointed to a door and then thats when they heard a gun. They all looked forwards and then the girl started to fall off the chair with blood flying out of her back from where she had been shot. The girl screamed in pain and then everyone backed away as a man in a black tux came over to the girl. He reached down and then pulled off his mask. Marielle noticed the man. "Jason?"

He picked up his gun and then called in for back up. Two guards came in and then picked up the girl who was laying in the floor, she had blood covering her face, from where she was laying in the puddle of her blood. "Please don't do this Jason." He had one of the guards hold her hair back and then he ripped the mask off her face and then it fell to the ground and crack into millions of pieces.

Jason grabbed her chin and then turned her to face the tributes. He smiled and then he grabbed a knife out of his pocket and then placed it up to her neck. "Veronica, lets tell them what you did wrong." He forced her forward onto the ground in front of all of them and in the puddle of her blood. which was still pouring out and she still was screaming out in pain.

"Run!" She screamed out, blood pouring out of her mouth. Jason grabbed his knife and then sliced her throat, she was flailing and blood gushing out of the cut. He finally reached into his pocket and then grabbed his gun and placed it inside her mouth. "No!" Screamed one of the girls in the crowd as he pulled the trigger. The blood shot everywhere, piles pouring out of her mouth and then covering the entire dance floor.

The guards dropped Veronica onto the floor and then her cold, lifeless body hit the floor with a loud noise. The room was silent and he put his gun away and then turned to face all of them. "Commit a crime and then you will end up just like she did." Everyone turned to girls body and then the guards drug the body away, leaving a trail of blood behind. He turned to them all and then gave them a sadistic smile.

"She tried to escape, If you try to escape from the capital then you are dead." He pointed at all the blood that was shed to prove his point. "She was chosen to be one of our interviewers and she hit her last one of her career." He put his gun away and then turned towards the tributes. "The masquerade ball is over, Don't bring this up or you will be killed violently, harsher than her death." All the tributes nodded as he opened the door revealing the exit back to their rooms. Everyone ran out of the room, leaving behind Jason.

Jason grabbed his gun and then some girl walked in, she had long flowing blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. "Goodjob Jason, the President will be proud of you murdering the unwanted criminal. She was a nuisance to our plans, after all if she would have escaped, the games would be over. We can't have that could we." She smiled sadistically. He nodded his head and then picked up the prints to the arena. "No Jessica, we couldn't." He handed her the prints and then they both walked away from the room, leaving the piles of blood still there.

Day 2: Training

All of the tributes arrived at exacly 10 A.M. to start the training session. Each of the tributes went back to the group they arrived to the Capital with, the first time since the horrible death yesterday. Each of the tributes waited to see who was going to be the training instructor. The girl walked out of the room behind them, she was dressed in a black dress with her blond hair put into a bun. "Hello My name is Claire."

All of the tributes greeted her nicely and then she took her stance in the middle of the room infront of everyone. "Gather round." The tribues gathered around her. "The games will be filled with many dangers, its going to be hard to tell whats real from whats fake.
