Harpsichord Burr:

I take in a deep breath, and slowly exhale. I take a second to to clear my mind before I stumble my way into the training room. I look up into the balcony, and I see everyone completely ignoring me. "H-he-hello..." I quietly mumble. Usually I'm never nervous.... "Hello, I'm Harpsichord" I say again. Still, they seem to be unaware of my presence. "PAY ATTENTION" I shout at the top of my lungs. Everyone stops and stares at me. Damn, I'm nervous again. I slowly breath in and out again. "Hello, I'm Harpsichord Burr, representing my home, District 3," I breath again, "and, I will demonstrate my skills with explosives." I turn to the table, and see a defunct grenade and a dead land mine. I grab the grenade, and I search around the table for materials to fix it. I grab what's necessary, and begin to work. My small fingers quickly glide over the materials, and I active the grenade in no more than a minuet. When I'm sure it's in working order, I pull the pin and send it flying into a group of dummies on the other side of the room. As soon as the grenade hits the chest of one of the dummies, it explodes in a burst of sound and heat. As soon as the smoke clears, I see the group of dummies obliterated. Literally, dummy pieces are everywhere. I turn to the people in the balcony, say "Thank you for your time!" and almost run out of the room. 'That didn't go to badly,' I think to myself as I leave.

Allison Pentyn:

"Greetings. I am Allison Pentyn, hailing from District 5." I grab a small, throwable club from the table. I send it hurdeling towards the one of the dummies in the group. It hits the face directly, and the dummy falls over; it's face looking as if it was hit by a cement block. I then grab a hammer, and begin sprinting towads the dummies. I swing the flat side of the hammer into a dummies chest, and it implodes upon impact. I swing in an arc and smash the blunt side of my hammer directly into the side of the head of another dummy. I then turn my hammer upside down, swing my body in another arc motion, and impale the top of the last dummies head with the sharp end of my hammer. I camly walk towards the table, set the hammer down, and slowly walk towards the exit. I turn back to see the people in the balcony gazing at me with wide eyes. I chuckle to myself, turn back around and leave the room.
