Ryder would focus more on physical attacks rather than trapping or hiding. But he had to show himself to be very powerful. He walks into the light and his skin slowly turns silver. He takes a knife and stabs himself with it. The blade dulls as it touches his skin. He rubs his fingers against the blade to sharpen it. He then tosses it. It hits the bulls eye with ease. He grabs more weapons. Throwing axes, spears, you name it. He walks away from the target after each hit lands, hitting multiple different targets each time. Finally, he is touching the wall and his spear falls short. He huffs, looking annoyed. But his training had payed off, he had managed to land a lot of hits. He glances up at the gamemakers faces as he tried to peg their reaction. But it's blank. He wipes a bit of sweat from his face and leaves

Halcyon's muscles ached profusely due to the brutal training she put herself through, which was vaguely reminiscent of the training she had recieved in district 2. She knew that toying with weaponry was not going to appear quite out of the box; they were graded on survival, no? She ran over a list in her head, and surprisingly, she settled on creating a brutal snare. When Ryder glared at her, she narrowed her eyes condescendingly, as if she was mocking his injuries. Look at you. She silently sneered in distaste at the young brute.

Once Ryder had left the training area the other two males from District One, then it was Alice's turn. She got up and sauntered over and into the room. She changed the color of her sking to blend in with the sroundings then stripped out of her training uniform and manged to get up on the lofters high up and was nearly in front of the game makers (who were confused on the child's disapearing act) then revealed only her face. "BOO!"

Several stumbled back in shock and Alice laughed in amusment, sliding down from her spot and dressed in he rtraining outfit before making herslf visable again. The head game maker had a berif moment of shock on her face before wiping it clean. "I've seen enough, you've proven yourself as a worthy oppenet. You may leave now." Alice nodded and left through the elevator.

Stealth. Speed. Camofaluge. A deadly combination.

"Distrcit Two. Kadia Pantazi."

"Whoops that me." Kardia laughed hopping off her seat. Sauntering into the room, Kardia made a beeline for the weights, knowing that her work with masonry had made her arms as strong as could be. Grabbing one of the heavier weights, Kardia hoisted it onto one shoulder, walking towards the knife area. Tossing a few up and down, she carelessly flicked a few at the target, missing her first target marginally before the next two hit dead center. Huffing at the weight, she began to up the ante, moving around fluidly despite the heavy weight she was precariously balancing on her shoulder as she spun and weaved her take of death, once even taking her hands off the ball and letting it roll down her shoulders as she flicked knives from the rack onto the target before catching the weight on her other hand.

Power, Accuracy, Strength. That was her presentation as she nearly stumbled over her feet returning the weight to it's proper place. Curtsying, as if she had finished a dance recital, Kardia bared her teeth at the impassive game maker and swept towards the exit drenched in sweat.

Mallory disapeared into the training arena.

Quote from xX_Artemis_Xx

Mallory stepped inside, she went over the knife rack and fingered four blades. She threw them, faster then sight, and they landed, hitting the heart, the neck, the forehead, and the chest.

When she had seen enough of Mallory's talent(s) she sent her on the way.

"District 4. Pearl."

Pearl smirked and headed in. She wasted no time to lift a heavy and deadly looking trident from the weapon rack and threw it at the targets, nailing them every time. She then showed a display of many ways to kill someone with water. When the head Game maker had seen enough she nodded and let Pearl leave.

"Tempest."

Quote from RaRaRasputin

Tempest looks terrified as she walks forward. She sucks in a deep breath and quickly ties one of those trapping knots. She purposely traps herself. She dangles upside down for a moment before her form changes. She turns into a lynx. She swipes at the rope using her back paw and falls. She then races forward and leaps. She hangs off of the balcony where the gamemakers sit. She climbs up and then turns human and bows. "T-thats it" she says shyly.

5. 6. 7.

"Harlow"

Quote from RaRaRasputin

Harlow wears no emotion as she walks in the room. She opens her palms. Her hands and arms enlargen and turn into blades. She rushes forward towards the human sized dummies. She cuts one of their heads off and then stabs the other in the back. She stops after that. "I'm sorry, this wasn't that interesting" she makes her hands normal and rubs the back of her head. "Um.. ta da!" She walks off, smacking her forehead. "stupid! stupid!" She mutters.

"Leaf."

Leaf entered and made several plants grow, they quickly sporouted into trees and nearly burst a hole in the roof. After a while of this she was sent out by the head game maker.

---

Rose watched. She already had a plan. She knew what she had to do.

"District 8. Rose."

Quote from xX_Artemis_Xx

Rose focuses on her targets as she grabs a bow and strings it. She let's arrows fly.

9. 10.

"Dixie Nex"

Dixie walked in and aproached the obsitcal course, she put it on the higest setting and passed it with flying colors. The Game maker nodded and sent her on the way.

"Shion Dorje."

---

Getting up, Shion steeled himself and strode into the area. Picking the survival area, he swiftly built a fire, flames sparking under his hands as he preceded to construct a shelter out of what he could find, sturdy and strong. Looking at his work, he smiled nervously. He was physically strong, but decided to show off his survival skills instead. Hopefully this would give him a lower mark and he escape most of the kill lists. With the game makers nodding, he scurried out of the room, heart racing.

"District 11. Blossom."

Blossom smiled and headed in. Most of them weren't even paying attention anymore, the only one seemingly to be paying any attention was the head Game maker. But what could she do about it? She could only go on. She climbed up onto the eqipment and jumped from one thing to another, she was light and fast for a thirteen year-old. This kept going on until she was released by teh head game maker.

"Thrush Chen."

*Insert AdMortme's training here*

"District 12. Blaze."

Blaze smoothed down her hair and stepped in. She knew she was in trouble the moment she stepped foot inside. None of them were even paying attention anymore, they were drunk and had watched sixty-six others preform and more then anything wanted to go home. Blaze headed over to the trowing knifes and grabbed a handful before throwing them one by one at the targets, and they hit their mark. It helped that throwings was something Blaze was good at, stemming from her childhood of throwing rocks at things as a young girl and even as she got older she still did it, either for fun or to get some's attention, or for other reasons.

Blaxe looked up at them, it was excellent throwing adn a few nodded in apporval. However, most of them are fixated on the roast goat that was just put on the banuet table. How was a dead animal more important then her? Her life was being used for entertainment and they dare have the audacity to pay more attention to something editable then her!? Face burning in anger she grabed another handful of knives and marched back over to the center and set the knives in her hand on fire, then launched one at the dead animal. The game makers stumble back and give alarmed cries as the food suddenly becomes ingulfed in flames then dies down, nothing but ash. Everyone stared at Blaze in disbelief.

Blaze gave a slight curtsy as she gave them some choice words before leaving without being dismissed, throwing the rest of them at the wall where they landed in a cluster.

"Flare"

Flare got up biting her cheek. She honestly had no idea what she was going to show them, maybe some survival skills. Whe she walked in they were all staring at her with pale faces. Like they were scared of her. Flare showed off her knoting and some editable plant skills until she was dismissed.

"District 13. Miko."

"Hey Miko, make their brains explode in awe." Nova winked at her.

---

“Oh shut up...” she muttered with a smile tugging at her mouth. She had something up her sleeve, and she was sure to impress them

---

The game makers watched Miko enter. As the door shut behind her the head Gamemaker spoke. "So, Miko, what what are you going to show us?"

---

She let in a deep breath and looked at the Game Maker in the eyes. She figured that just saying it would be silly, so she went ahead and grabbed a few knives. She looked at her target, then tossed a knife in the air, making sure it spun while doing so. She eyed the handle carefully, waiting for the perfect moment. She concentrated on the very bottom of the knife (opposite of the point of the blade), then once it was almost horizontal to her target she did it. The small part she was focusing on exploded and the knife shot straight through the air. It was much faster than just throwing it, causing it to go through the dummy and into the wall.

After she did that a few more times, doing 2 at a time, then 3, she stopped and took a deep breath. That had taken a bit out of her, making her eyes a bit heavy.

---

The game makers nodded, seemingly intrested. The Head Game maker noticed how tired Miko looked and made a mental note as she sent Miko out.

"Nova"

Nova entered the room and made a beeline towards the bow and arrows. She picked one up, strung it and shot some targets. She was a bit off, or would've been if she hadn't manipulated the arrow's energy to move right to the target, making her look better then what she was. The Head Gamemaker nodded and sent Nova out after she repeated this a few times.

(and I'll tally the scores, while I do that you guys can interact either with other tributes on diffrent floors OR with your fellow tributes from your own floor.)

---

Miko sighed as she walked out, trying not to seem as tired as she was. She noticed Nova coming out and smiled at her. “How’d you do?” She asked, curious. She was proud of herself for using her power without destroying anything important.

---

Nove rubbed her eyes, she may've over done it with the last arrow. "I think I did okay. How about you?"

---

“Think I did better than I expected!” She said with a bright smile. Wow... how naive could someone get? Didn’t she see that she was being used just for entertainment?

---

"Hey!" Harlow calls to Leaf. "How did it go?" Her expression is calm now that this was over. Admittedly she was worried about this. She didn't want a score that was too high, but she didn't want it to be too low either, approval from others is worth a lot in these games

Leaf rubbed the back of her neck like she had a crick in it. "Fine. I just grew some trees until they sent me on the way." She looked at Harlow. "How'd you do?"

---

"I played it safe. I just beheaded a few dummies" she shrugs. "If I score low, I score low. Maybe people will avoid us and we can think of a way where we could both survive"

Miko sat patiently, waiting for the interview. Her thoughts were becoming more and more faded as time passed, leaving her daydreaming.
