So, I decided to put in a little more work this time, and so I added this extra blog! I hope you enjoy it!
-Training-
Before the games begin, the tributes must train.
Polis and Zajn are good with melee weapons. Polis also seems to do well with swordlike weapons. Of course, they’re from District 1, so this was no surprise.
Trev and Mariana did pretty well. Trev described himself as the best fighter with every single weapon, even though he was really only dominant with melee weapons. Mariana, like her family, was really skilled with a katana.
Nano and Patricia didn’t really have any skills with any of the weapons, but they both were great with building deadly gadgets, such as explosives. They also seem to have formed a partnership over training.
Cross and Agatha did amazing with throwing knives. Cross was also good with a bow and arrow. He also did great in intelligence tests, but Agatha did poorly. She did, however, prove that she was brutal with her weapons, and she didn’t really talk to anyone.
Novak and Amelia worked well together in the tests being friends and all, and they were both handy with spears. They were even invited to join the career pack. However, they declined. What kind of career district is District 5 forming into?
Chicago tried his luck with all the weapons, but didn’t really find anything that suited him. He did, however, do well in tests that involved perspective and agility. Mobile did well with small handheld weapons, and according to her training results, she was good at adapting to her environment.
Jake didn’t really attend training. He requested that he train by himself, afraid of the other tributes targeting him early on. Gabbie did attend training, but refused to try out any of the weapons. She did try out the other tests involving intelligence, agility, strength, endurance, perspective, etc, and did well on most of them.
Tommy was reportedly good with swordlike weapons, most notably a machete. He also seemed to get along well with the non-career tributes. Ariya loved to use things such as daggers and sickles, but was reported to be average with them.
Fabio went nuts with his training. He really just did things at random and spontaneously, and didn’t do well in any of the tests for obvious reasons. Sun did actually attempt her tests, but didn’t do well with any of them except for perspective tests.
Ben and Row seemed to hate being around each other, but at the same time never left each other’s sight. They were both notably handy with knives, but failed with tests that involved their cooperation.
Belfio unsurprisingly didn’t do well on any of his tests, being 12 and all. Rachael on the other hand did well with throwing knives and spears, sticking close to Belfio at all times as he thought about how he would die. She is acting very protective of him.
Nacho and Summer didn’t do well with any of the physical tests. With Nacho being out of shape and Summer being very fragile, this wasn’t a surprise.
-Interviews-
Let’s do a short interview section!
They careers mainly talked about how it was an honor to play in the games, as usual. Well, except Agatha. She didn’t really talk at all.
Interviewer: What would it be like to win the games?
Polio: It would be an absolute honor.
Zajn: It would mean my life training paid off!
Trev: It would be no surprise, there’s no way I’m gonna lose!
Mariana: It would give my family a very respected reputation.
Cross: It would definitely bring pride to my District!
Novak: It would definitely mean District 5 is changing for the better!
Amelia: Hopefully it would incourage other people from District 5 to volunteer!
The other tributes mainly talked strategy, while Jake mainly just looked like he wanted to end his interview as fast as possible. Belfio was a sad mess when he came onstage.
Interviewer: What is your strategy going into the games?
Nano: Well, I would mainly just try to avoid tributes I don’t trust.
Patricia: I’m gonna try to stick by Nano. I think we would make a great duo in the games.
Chicago: I need to familiarize myself with the arena.
Mobile: I’ll constantly be on the move, non-stop.
Gabbie: I’m gonna try to do as little killing as possible. If someone tries to kill me, I’ll just run as fast as I can.
Tommy: I’ll be smart and swift. I’ll stay hidden, and I won’t come for anyone unless they come for me.
Ariya: I’m honestly just gonna go in there and see what happens!
Fabio: Who cares man? I’ll probably just enjoy whatever time I have left. I’m gonna go out having the time of my life.
Sun: I’ll make my strategy as I go. I gotta be prepared for anything.
Ben: My best bet is working with my ex. Ugh, I hated saying that.
Row: Don’t even ask me that. I don’t wanna talk about... him.
Rachael: I wanna protect my district partner at all costs. If I can give him a chance to go home, I will.
Nacho: Well, people will see me and then think I’m not a threat, so they won’t try to kill me right away... right?
Summer: I’ll just avoid the dangerous tributes for as long as possible. If they catch me, I think I’d be gone in 2 seconds.
There’s no need to see other questions asked.
And finally, there is the Parade!
-The Parade-
Let’s see what kind of costumes the tributes wear this year!
The District 1 kids are wearing... diamond texture clothes! Polio’s suit and Zajn’s dress look like they were made out of diamond ax
The District 2 kids are wearing... metal suits! Kind of an odd choice, but they do look badass as knights!
The District 3 kids are wearing... shiny black jumpsuits! Again, another odd choice, but they do look like nerds with them on!
The District 4 kids are wearing... outfits made of pearls! Well... Cross is anyway. Agatha is wearing a dress she brought from home, which is basically just a black goth dress. Who is this woman?
The District 5 kids are wearing... lightning outfits! Allow me to explain. Their outfits are conducting electricity. The suit and dress have visible lighting bolts traveling up and down the outfit.
The District 6 kids are wearing... sailor outfits! Yep, just picture Chicago and Mobile in a classic sailor outfit.
The District 7 kids are wearing... tree outfits! I heard this is basically the District 7 outfit every year, so I’m going with it!
The District 8 kids are wearing... abstract outfits! Each of their outfits has a cool abstract pattern on it.
The District 9 kids are wearing... jumpsuits! VERY weird choice, but they both thought it would be cool.
The District 10 kids are wearing... outfits with cow spots on it! A dress and suit with a cow pattern... they both say the other looks stupid.
The District 11 kids are wearing... philosopher uniforms! Picture them as philosophers from the early BC years.
The District 12 kids are wearing... diner looking outfits! Look up Fallout Shelter and you’ll know what I mean. Nacho’s suit is ripped.
That’s the parade! Which outfits did you like?

They officially begin tomorrow... good luck! And may the odds be ever in your favor.
