The head Game maker looked at Echo, she was older but her eyes held wisdom and sternness beyond her years. "Start whenever you're ready."

District Two. Adelaide Constantius.
Her ears perked up, the sound of the disembodied, robotic voice beckoning her to the ring cutting into her peaceful meditation. The other careers - especially those from her district - gave her encouraging looks, asserting their belief that no one could possibly outrank her. District Two, after all, was the district with possibly the highest connection to the Capitol. She had that, if nothing else, in her favor.
The white rose that had been hurriedly delivered by Tempest the other day, as well as the rose from her room, weighed heavily in the pocket in her lapel. Gods, Adelaide had never allowed herself to contemplate its meaning. The other, whiter, rose that she'd received right on her first day was sitting on her nightstand in a vase when she arrived. Adelaide’d taken one look at the icy mocking glow of the light on those icy white petals and hissed in displeasure. She couldn't stand it, hadn't in all her nerves been able to stand the odious feeling of dread and poison that just oozed from every petal. It was a sensuous, deadly promise in a pretty package. Pretty, poisoned lies.
She hadn't even found it within herself to touch the damn thing. Until today.
Adelaide rose gracefully, her head held high and her shoulders pulled back, a picture of grace that she would have been required to put on as if she were going to a ceremonial banquet. Pristine. Elegant and provocative. Her head adopted a regal tilt that coupled with the predatory, and slightly detached smile that perched upon her features, it was a deadly combination. As if she was comfortable, and she knew it. It was the face of a victor; a smile that would send a snake in its right mind slithering away, or perhaps smiling back as if to its kinsmen.
Cold, brutal unflinching cold stole into her veins; the shadows that had been webbing on the deepest corners of her mind came slinking in. Adelaide turned her eyes to the Gamemakers, respectfully inclining her head.
And got to work. The snares she’d dutifully practiced in the past three days, balancing the time adequately with cardio and weapons practice. The materials were lined up-the silver glinting off the berry pot that she opened almost appears to be mocking her. She screws off the lid of the first one to reveal its bright sanguine color. The color was bright red, and Adelaide thought absently that it looked like blood. It would do.
Soon what she was doing became clear as she hauled a dummy at least a foot into the air. The head tilted askance as if someone had tried to chop it off, but failed trying. The anchor was the sturdy leg of a table, which bore the rope steadily. Taking out Tempests’s rose, she carefully tied it around the rope encircling the dummy’s neck, and the white flower dangled tauntingly toward the Gamemakers.
She could see them getting to their feet, murmuring to themselves. The final pieces of her message came into place. Adelaide swept into a bow, revealing the two words she’d daringly printed on the dummy’s front in blood red ink.
PRESIDENT SNOW !
Something white fell onto the floor, and Adelaide nearly stepped onto the rose that she’d picked from her room. The white gleamed, the color seemingly laughing at her as if indeed the demon who’d given it to her was watching her now. Adelaide’s cold, near emotionless eyes, swept upwards to capture the Gamemakers in their fury. “I almost forgot this.” She hissed, fury driven from her hatred as she surveyed the ranks of the individuals above her. Picking up a dagger, she ruthlessly stabbed the rose into the dummy’s lapel with a force that made them flinch.

Kyu stood up and walked into the room with as much confidence a girl who'd gotten shot three days ago could have, which was quite a bit. And she had a plan, which unknowingly tied into Adelaide's little stunt. Kyu stood in the middle of the room as her body poised in confidence. When she was told to start, Kyu started singing a a beautiful but haunting tune, but it wasn't just as simple as that, as she sang the words seemed to make imagery behind her. It was bizzare, but in a strangly beautiful way. Several gamemakers actually started crying as memeories of their loved ones burned in their mind. Once the child had finished she was dismissed.
"District Four. Julian."
The gamemakers nodded in aproval. The very art of what a career should be. He was dismissed then Tempest was called. "District Four. Tempest."
Rose sighs. She changes the pattern of her jacket over and over again, never satisfied. The constant changing annoyed other tributes, but Rose did not care. She kept at it, allowing there frustration to grow. One of the other tributes growled at her, but Rose ignores them.
Bouncing his leg nervously, Molly fiddled with the helm of his shirt wondering what he could possibly do to impress the judges. He had exclusively spent time at the fishhook making station and nothing else, his fingers now making hooks in his sleep. His hands trembled with fear, leg bouncing up and down and annoying quite a few people
Gateguard leaned against the wall as he waited, eyes roving around the waiting room. So far, the only person who had ever seen him work with the weights had been Tempest so he was fairly certain people would underestimate his strength. His plan of attack had already been formulated and if he executed it flawlessly, he would hopefully be ranked above average, not enough to be put on a kill list, but enough to tell the others that he was more than capable in the arena.

Not feeling any better than before, Ophelia flopped onto the floor frustrated out of her mind.
Rita got up from her spot and sauntered in to the room. When the doors closed behind her she looked up at the gamemakers and went over ot eh bows. She grabbed one and strung it before loading an arrow. As she pulled the string back, the lights started to flicker before several broke and the electircy shot down to the arrow as Rita fired the arrow into the dummy. Both the electricty and the arrow hit the dummy, roasting it worse then someone leaving chicken nuggets in the microwave on high for several hours.
Rita looked up at them and when Rita was dismissed she tossed the bow and quiver of arrows behind her, making electricty zap the floor where they landed. Unfortunaly there was nothing that could be done about the mark let alone the smell of burnt cloth form the electricy. "District 6. Kayda."
