District 12 - Leona Soleil's POV
After I get my finger jabbed for the tesserae, I find myself walking rather quickly - almost jogging - to the girls' section of the square. I guess I want this to end quicker than I thought. I really want to see Dylan's face when that huge bucket of mud falls on his head. That'll teach him to take Elsa's dolls. After everyone is accounted for, the mayor reads out the long, winded boring passage they call the "Treaty of Treason," like they do every year. We've heard it so many times already, why do we have to hear it again? I've practically memorised the whole thing. After he's done, our escort, Effie Trinket, finally daintily walks onto the stage in here massive, swirly silver dress, dotted with silver stars made out of ribbon and silver glitter. She wears earings with huge stars like the ones on her dress, only these are blindingly light. And of course, silver. She has her typical afro/wig, died in a somewhat deep, depressing grey, risen by a small white butterfly coated in ribbons. Even her skin is in a cloud - white tone.
"The time has come," her ridiculous accent exclaims, "to pick one courageous yound man and woman to represent District 12 in the 72nd Hunger Games!" As she says that last bit, she raises her arms in joy, revealing the star shaped diamonds stabbed into her arm. "As usual, ladies first." She makes her way to the as usual, almost over - flowing girls' reaping bowl. I suddenly feel a huge amount of tension and heat around me as she plunges her hand into the slips of paper, plays around for a few seconds and picks one out, heading back to the middle of the stage. "Leona Soleil!"
My name. She just said my name. Everyone turns to stare at me. All looks of either empathy, or empathy and relief. One of them even looks awkardly jealous. I make my way out of this crowd of relieved and empathetic girls and walk down the aisle, and trudge next to Effie to face the crowd. I see my siblings at the back, Elsa and Bernilius, their deep grey eyes staring at me in grief, filling with tears.
"Hello Leona!" Effie says. "And now, for the boys." She walks to the opposite over flowing bowl of slips, and picks one out quicker than she did mine. Lucus. Lucus Mines. He walks out of the front crowd of boys. He looks out of place with them, being so muscular, tall and handsome when every other boy could easily pass for a skeleton. Maybe we could be allies? I'll just have to see after I charm him with my well - known bubbliness.
District 11 - Taytus Crem's POV
That "exciting" time of the year again. The time when we find out who the lucky two kids are from 11 who get thrown into a wood or a mountain or whatever and die several minutes later. It's really been the same cycle for the past four years. Get your finger stabbed, walk into a crowd of other guys from the district, see two random kids get reaped and leave. I don't know why kids worry so much. They always end up 19 years of age and are left to pick vegetables and starve to death in peace.
I soon find myself in the middle of the hundreds of boys, parallel to the hundreds of girls. Our escort, Gallery Clauda, walks onto the stage, in her green, fluffy stripy dress with a collar that goes up to her chin, and high heels - emphasising the word "high" - of the same colour. Not to mention her emerald hair that reaches her thighs even in a braid. She must use fertiliser.
After the mayor reads out the Treaty of Treason, the reaping finally gets underway. Without a word - since is weird because she's usually going on and on about how "excited" she is, she makes her way to the girls' reaping ball. She digs around the slips for a few seconds and soon takes out a slip of paper and reads out the name. "Lexi Greenway," she exclaims, somewhat bored. Lexi comes out of the crowd of girls nearer to the back, around where the 14 year olds are. She is obviously terrified, her red eyes flooed with tears. She walks to slowly, so peacekeepers have to half - jog behind her to speed her up. Gallery then goes to the boys' ball, again, without a word, and mixes the slips around. The kid to my right is exhilerating, panting like a dog. I expect her to read out a name I have never heard before. Someone who might go to the school on the other side of the distirct. But it's not like that.
It's no where near like that.
"Taytus Crem!"
District 10 - Kwartz Diodin's POV
My first reaping. I'm terrified. My mother says I won't be reaped. She says there's no chance because my name was only entered three times - tesserae for me and my parents. She must have forgotten about those few other years when kids my age were reaped, and they had their names entered either as many times as mine or less. My father says there's nothing really to worry about if I do get reaped. He says I run as fast bull after he sees red, and I can climb as if I run up what I'm climbing. They say there's nothing at all to worry about, but there's no guarantee of that. Right?
Our escort walks onto the stage. Zenithar Bawls. He walks on almost tripping on the fat ribbons coming from his shoes. His hair is shaped like a huge, sky blue cannonball he's balancing on his head. It even looks as if he is, because of the ribbons on his shoes making him wobble like a mad man. His suit is what a typical Capitol person would wear, with the hideous floral patterns that make him look like he's been tangled in blue, fat vines from which mushrooms are growing. Or maybe they look like onions. "Ladies and gentleman!" Zenithar exclaims into mis microphone. "This morning, one young man and woman of high courage and bravery shall be chosen from the ever so fine District 10," he is rather reluctant to call 10 "ever so fine" as he reacts to the smell of cow dung. "to participate in the 72nd Hunger Games!" With that he strolls across the stage to the girls' reaping ball. They all suddenly go red and start to breath heavily as he does. His hand dives into the bowl, fishes around and picks out a slip. Back in the middle of the stage, he shouts, "Amber Sunclair!"
Amber comes out of the crowd of girls from the ones two years older than me. I instantly recognise her. A sweet, caring, sisterly girl who would do anything for an animal and would never hurt a fly. Everyone seems disgusted or grieved as she reaches the stage. The most sweet, amazing, kind, innocent girls in the district just got reaped for the games. She reacts to, shivering all over, a huge frown on her face. Zenithar, however, is still smiling. As he walks to the boys' ball, everyone around me is suddenly red, shivering, almost crying. It's their first reaping too. But all this fear, worry, and shivering disappears suddenly. Well, from them, anyway. But I'm still on the edge of bursting out crying when Zenithar exclaims, "Kwartz Diodin!"
District 9 - Pharmacy Rivera's POV
For the past two years, life has been ridiculously boring. Same old school, same old home, same old smell of bread. But the reaping, the reaping has given me an idea. Why do they hold the reaping? To pick two kids to fight to the death wih 22 other kids. In a vast, outdoor area that holds nothing but horror. Horror that kills. They are given the ultimate test of life. And I want that test.
I took tesserae even though I don't need it just so there's more of a chance of me getting reaped. Five tesserae. It seemed enough. It'll save me the breath of shouting the world 'volunteer.' The mayor reads out the long, twisted, boring old passage of which's name I forgot, and then our escort appears on stage. Short, fat man, purple shiny shirt covered in pink dots made of cotton that stick out way too much. What's on his hat, however, is way more eye catching. Massive top hat that is almost taller than him. It has the sticking - out dots on his shirt, only on these stems there are purple ladybirds crawling all over. Ew.
"Hello, people of District 9!" His deep, booming, awkward voice says. "I am Jury Tedioc, and today, two children of this Dist -"
"Yeah we know the stupid drill, get on with it already!" I shout, losing my patience.
He sighs. "Very well, then..." He wobbles to the girls' reaping ball. I keep him from digging around for 51 years in the ball with an intimidating glare, so he just picks one from the top quickly. "Adrianna Sal -"
" I volunteer!" I start walking before I exclaim so. Jury gives a little "of course..." expression to the crowd. Hah hah. I get to the stairs of the stage and he's already making his wobbly way to the boy's ball. I don't have to look at him to make him pick one from the top in a second and read out: "Carson Johansen!" This Carson comes out from the crowd of sixteen year old boys. His skinnyness is supported by his height, nevertheless a 'pretty' boy. He seems quiet, and pretty bored like someone else got reaped, someone he doesn't know at all. He isn't very muscular either. This basically shouts out for him, "vulnerable."
District 8 - Burgundy Anthrocloth's POV
I'm ready now. I looked at myself in the mirror, and what I could see was not a small, weak kid who would come 23rd in the games. I see a tall, muscular, strong man who is ready go into the arena and come out in one peice, after two weeks of tearing other kids' limbs appart.
I get my finger stabbed for the tesserae and push my way into the crowd of every other 16 year old guy in the district. Once everyone has arrived, the mayor reads out the Treaty of Treason and our escort swiftly strolls onto the stage. Silky, pink short hair that reaches her chin and goes inwards at the end with white streaks. Her cheeck is florally tattooed, and she wears a candy pink dress that looks as if a ton of air has been pumped into it. She struggles to walk in those bright pink shoes that make it look like she's rolling around in two huge balls. And it doesn't help tthat there is tassle coming from her dress reaching these shoes. I suddenly remember her name. Chennenne Toffee.
"Ladies and gentleman," she wobbles in those two ball - shoes as she speaks, jerking her voice. "It is now time, to choose one honourably brave young man and woman to participate in the 72nd -" She screeches as her shoes roll to the side and she falls flat on her voice. Everyone laughs hysterically. I give a small smirk myself. After two peacekeepers stand her back up, she rolls over to the girls' reaping bowl. Once she gets there she holds onto it to prevent her from falling again and picks one out after a few seconds of mixing the slips about. She picks one, and reads out, "Rebekah Ure!"
You'd think a twelve year old girl would tear up after being reaped. Instead, she giggles as she dashes down the aisle. "Squeeze!" she exclaims as she jumps to grab Chennenne's neck and squeezes it like a teddy bear. Chennene falls back again onto her back. Everyone is again greatly amused and all you can hear is laughs. Chennenne is on the verge of sobbing as the two same peacekeepers stand her up, and grab Rebekah's arms to restrain her from squeezing any more necks. Chennenne rolls over to the boys' ball, picks out a slip, and reads, "Aiden Mars!"
Then I exclaim, "I volunteer!"
District 7 - Brux Konin's POV
My final reaping. Finally. If I can get through this reaping, I won't have to worry any more about being thrown into the arena and dying a bloody death for the Capitol's entertainment anymore. It's more than I can say for Janine, though...
I'm simply terrified for her. For this year and the next four, there is a brief chance expanding each year that she'll be thrown into the arena. If she's going to be reaped it had better be this year. At least I'll be in there with her. Janine wanted to take tesserae just so I didn't have to. She's way too brave. I didn't let her though. Of course I didn't. I never will. Our mayor reads out the Treaty of Treason, and then the reaping gets under way. I can see Janine at the back. She's terrified, as much as myself. Not that her name will be fished out of the reaping bowl, but mine. She's never afraid for herself, of course she isn't. It worries me sometimes. She might try to do something crazily dangerous, like maybe with an axe while we're in the woods. Or say things in school to the older kids that gets her on their blacklist. Or maybe look at the prize of a victor before the reaping, and get whole different ideas...
Our escort, Erimecs Star, strolls onto the stage. Spiked up green hair, a suit that's more like green armour that has intimidating spikes all over it, not to mention his shoes look razor sharp. Even his nose is sharpened upwards at the end, and his fake eyelashes could easily stab him in the eye. He looks like a walking green procupine.
"It is now time," Erimecs announces, "to pick from District 7, one young man and woman with corageous hearts," he reveals his razor sharp, green dyed teeth as he speaks, "to enter the arena of the 72nd Hunger Games!" When he starts walking to the girls' bowl, a sudden hush falls on the square. It's the same old, same old - plung in your hand, fish around a bit, take a slip out - and then he reads out the name. "Janine Konin!"
Her name was entered twice. There were only two slips of paper in that whole bowl that read her name, and yet hers was the one picked. The hush cast upon the square disappears as everyone is talking among themselves. Talking about how wrong this is. A thirteen year old girl in the games. But then, how it was this particular thirteen year old girl. Janine Konine. One of the two sibling survivors of the fire of the lumberjack barracks. Maybe her name was entered more than twice, they whisper. Because everyone in those barracks was suuposed to be engulfed in flames. She cheated death.
She cheated the Capitol.
"Calm down now, District Seven!" Erimecs booms into the mic. "It is time for the male to be reaped!" He walks to the bowl, clickety - clocking in his spike bottomed shoes and picks a slip. But it makes no difference when he exclaims, "Loqueris Daimon!" Because I only save Loqueris from the arena when I shout, "I volunteer!"
I need to protect her.
District 6 - Lana Khloros's POV
After I leap down the windows of one of the buildings near the square, I let the head peacekeeper jab my finger and make my way to the sixteen year olds' part of the girls' crowd. For the past weeks, I've been considering volunteering. I'm an excellent climber, and invisibility is like a power I have. And I'm the smartest person in my part of the district. But then I decided I shouldn't, because who needs riches when you have the smarts of myself?
The mayor reading out the Treaty of Treason is worse than the reaping itself. I cannot stand the boredom, and the infinite repeats of words I don't know what mean. But then I notice the mayor's reading way quicker than she ever has. She must find it boring too. Tablet Erga - something jogs onto stage. Our escort. Everything about him just screams out, "Capitol guy!" Golden shirt splattered with jigsaw peices with some crazy weird symbol on each one. His afro is not an afro, it's a sick, curly bush from which bells grow. And his shoes are not shoes, they are trains. Enough said.
He gets to the middle of the stage and his ridiculous voice starts to speak. "Ladies, gentleman, boys and girls of District Six!" It's obvious he can smell all the morphling when he scrunches up his golden nose. "This morning, the immensley brave young man and to participate in the 72nd Hunger Games, shall be chosen!" With that he awkwardly swings his arms back and forth while walking to the girls' reaping bowl. He takes out a slip of paper and reads out the unlucky name. "Lana Khloros!"
Oh. I didn't need to volunteer.
With the fact that all cameras are on me in mind, I stroll down the aisle, my head high, arms at my side. Inside though, I want to punch Tablet in the face. When I get to the stage, he says, "Why, lucky you, Lana!" Shut the heck up. Thirty seconds later he picks out a boy from the boys' bowl - Buck Rockwell. He comes from the crowd of guys the same age as me. I instantly recognise him. He beats up all the bullies in the school and leaves them crying. He even gave his own brother two black eyes - and he's twice as strong. Damn it, I'm in trouble.
District 5 - Iris Ruinthel's POV
Reaping time. Oh, how "terrifiying." Who knows maybe I'll be reaped and taken away from my "beloved" district. What does it matter? My mother is dead. My father is dead. My siblings are dead. I've been stripped of all my money. I now live in a dirty orphanage with fifty other kids. Dying in the games will only put me out of my misery.
I take the tesserae, of course I do. The oil and grain given by the Capitol is better than the junk they give us at the orphanage. I'm pretty close to the front this year. Only a few kids away from the eighteen year old girls. Once everyone's here, the mayor reads out the Treaty of Trees or whatever it's called, and then Solita Demtos finds the middle of the stage. Bronze hair reaching her shoulders, decorated with clips of flowers. Her puffy brown dress is plain, apart from a small floral pattern at the side. Her face makes her look like she fell into a mud puddle, and her high heels are covered in small flowers of paper tissue.
"Greetings, District 5!" She booms. "It is the time of year once again, during which one young man and woman as brave as can be shall be chosen to compete in the 72nd Hunger Games!" She swiftly moves to the girl's reaping bowl and plunges in her hand, and soon enough takes out a slip of paper - "Iris Ruinthel!"
Everyone turns to stare at me. What is it with these people? Don't they realise dying is way better than suffering here in this ditch of a country? I push my way out of the group of girls, climb the stairs to the stage, and turn to face the bewildered crowd. "I shall now pick the male!" Solita says and moves to the guys' bowl. Soon enough, she booms, "Tamriel Chariel!"
"I volunteer!" The squeaky voice comes from the crowd of fourteen year old guys. Konami Arentino. Looks pretty strong for a fourteen year old. I hear he trains too. But still, fourteen? This kid is plain mad.
District 4 - Mill Haper's POV
My first reaping, it wen pretty well. I got my finger jabbed, joined a crowd of girls, watched some other unlucky girl get reaped and left. But still, there's no guaranteeing what will happen this year. I could get thrown into the arena and get slaughtered, but no one will care. Including Matthew. It's not like he cared when father died.
After the mayor reads out the long, winded boring passage they call the Treaty of Treason, the reaping gets started. Out escort, Serena Glass, daintily walks to the stage, in her orange high heels that are curved upwards at the end. Her dress of the same colour is way too thrilly, with silk curls reaching her shoes, and her hair is a frantic, wavy sea of gold. "The time has come, District 4," she slightly raises her arms as she speaks, showing her nails curved inwards. It would be painful if they weren't so long. "To select one young man and woman to courageously compete in the arena of the 72nd Hunger Games!" her 'curly' tongue is hidden when she moves to the girls' bowl, plunges in, swims around a bit and comes out with a fish. "Mill Haper!"
My eyes suddenly flood as everyone turns to stare at my crimson face. I get out of the crowd, and when I walk too slowly down the aisle peacekeepers have to walk behind me to speed me up. When I get to the stage, I see Matthew with his petrified expression. Serena goes to the guys' bowl and does the same as she did with the girls', although it's more of a lazy float than a swim. "Cod Lenear!"
"I volunteer!" Matthew's hand shoots into the air.
Matthew, are you crazy?"
District 3 - Petra Mines's POV
I am going to volunteer. I'll step into the games and step out. People will call me crazy, suicidal, mad. These people need to take a mile's walk in my shoes and see I need to avenge my best friend somehow.
Once everyone's here, the mayor reads out the Treaty of Treason and our escort arrives on stage - Joel Shedrese. He's not a human, he's a giant blue porcupine who walks on his hind legs. His hair is spiked up with gel, and it almost reaches the 'ceiling' of the stage. His suit is dotted with giant saphire spikes, so anyone who came near him would easily be impaled. His shoulders awkawrdly look like walky - talkies with spikes for buttons, and his shoes are but huge spikes his feet rest in, and he balances in. He must have had them for a while - he's pretty good in them. "Many greetings, citizens of District 3!" he reveales his spike - tipped tongue and blue dyed 26 canines as he speaks. "It is now time to choose two immensely brave people, one young man and woman, to participate in the 72nd Hunger Games!" He strolls to the girls' reaping bowl, and everyone around me is suddenly terrified, When he takes out a slip of paper, he reads out, "Joanna Tile!"
"I volunteer!" I exclaim, and I start walking to the stage, everyone glaring at me with disbelief.
"Oh, how enthusiastic!" Joel says, and he moves to the opposite bowl. Once he pick out a slip of paper, he reads out, "Lyno Nactuna!"
This Lyno Nocturnal or whatever comes out of the crowd of guys about three years younger than me. He doesn't really qualify for skinny, and this is a supported by his height - only a little though. He looks like someone from the people from the rich/moderate part of the district. However he doesn't look too strong. No where near, actually.
You're dead, Lyno.
District 2 - Maylee Arms's POV
Once I reach the square and walk past the short line of tesserae kids, I join the crowd of 15 year old girls around the middle of the square. I'm not really thinking of volunteering. Yes, I'm amazing with a crossbow and could shoot everyone in the district down in a second, but I think I'm a little young, and maybe brush up on other skills.
Our mayor reads out that awkward, long speech they call the Treaty of Truce or something which really annoys me with its length, and then our escort finds the middle of the stage. Picallo Irewell. His gelled-to-the-side blue grey hair is much too tall, and his blazer reaches the floor, covered in loose threads that are all tangled with eachother. His shoes are practically the same, with stems coming even from the bottom, and his tie/rope coming from his collar reaches his ankles. "Ah, hello District 2!" he exclaims. "I trust, as always this district will be very enthusiastic with volunteers for the 72nd Hunger Games, as it always is!" his greeting seems different from the other disticts' escorts, as always. He then moves to the girls' reaping bowl, and digs in his long - nailed hands into the slips of paper. I'm pretty sure this year's theme is long. The slip of paper he picks out reads, "Demi Holmes!"
When Demi shakes out of the crowd of girls, I recognise her straight away. She is from my old school - she used to be one of my closest friends. I remember all the laughs and smiles we had shared, all the help and hugs we exchanged. That was all before it all changed. Before she turned on me. Before she turned school into hell, just because I have a trait I was forced to live with.Oh damn it Maylee, I tell myself. So what if she picked on me because of my ADHD? She was still my friend. We would do anything for each other. I still would.
"I volunteer!" I exclaim. Demi is relieved when I volunteer, but also confused as I walk to the stage. She knows she was one of the reasons I left school. She must have expected me to laugh at her in one of the private - goodbye things.
"Ah, I guess the enthusiasm just keeps on growing in 2!" Picallo says, as he strolls to the boys' bowl. When Sigar Tolley is reaped, a muscular arm is forced into the air in the front of the guys' crowd and with it, a deep - ish voice exclaims, "I volunteer!"
"Two volunteers, how exciting!" Picallo booms, as Daniel Halloy climbs the stairs to the stage. I've seen him at the Careers' academy. He's amazing with a sword, can practically turn invisible when he wants and has the speed of light. He could chop me into peices whenever.
District 1 - Zaphire Beux's POV
I'm ready now. I'm stronger than a career should be, and could climb a whole cliff without one small slip. I'll go into the games and win, and prove everyone in this damned district there's more to me than difference they don't agree with.
I get to the square just in time - one more second and peacekeepers would be banging on my door - for the reading out of the Treaty of Treason. After that, our escort finds the stage - Dorothy Encardle - getting there in her scarlet red flats which seem to be supported by springs. Her bright, huge dress follows the springy trend with the things bobbing out all over the ends, including the collar. Even her hair is a curdling sea of blood, and her blusher is somehow arranged to show swirls of red. "As always, a great pleasure to be with you, District One!" Dorothy's silly Captiol voice exclaims. "It is time to decide on who will be the two corageous young people, a young man and woman, to compete in the 72nd Hunger Games representing this District!" When she shows her side as she walks to the boys' ball, she show her springy, cirmson earings. The small slip of paper she picks from the bowl reads, "Globe Eastras!"
"I volunteer!" I exclaim it at the exact same time as a kid several metres behind me. and it's pretty awkward when we walk out at the same time.
"What the hell are you doing?" he sneers.
"Going to the stage, I just volunteered."
"No you didn't - get back in the crowd, creep."
"You get back. Don't get all peed just 'cause I'm in the games."
"Why would you want to go in?" His voice is getting louder. "It's not like anyone's cheering on you and your homo -"
"Calm down Onyx," a kid from the girls' crowd exclaims. "You have a year more than him to volunteer. And anyway, the gay retard's probably gonna be lured off of his plate at the countdown by the guy from 12 and explode." everyone laughs, and Onyx goes back, leaving me to go to the stage.
"Ah, the enthusiasm!" Dorothy exclaims, and goes to pick the girl. "Trinity Mace!" Trinity turns out to be the same girl who called me a retard. She doesn't seem too upset about being reaped, but her huge wet eyes partially covered by her curled, glowing blonde hair show the opposite. Serves her right.
The Tribute Parade - Seshia Tomser's POV
Seshia Tomser is a specatator of the parade.
"Hah, and you said it wasn't worth coming here at 4am to get a front seat!" I giggle to Jasara.
"Have you not been paying attention to the last five hours? People have been staring at us with our sleeping bags and bed-heads, and I'm aching all over!"
"Stop being so negative. It's about to start!" I don't know what he's saying about bed-heads. The new bright, glossy pink butterfly I put in my hair looks perfect!
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Claudius Templesmith booms. "Please welcome the tributes of the 72nd Hunger Games!" The huge wooden doors at the end of the road slowly open and I find myself cheering and roaring with the crowd as beige horses trot down the path, decorated with dozens of ribbons in amazing bright colours.They even wear glamarous masks, dosed in gems. The one on the right's mask has diamonds and rubies to create a bright pink flashy affect, and the one on the left wears a mask of saphires. The girl looks astonishing with her bright pink, flowing, flowery dress and pink glitter is sprinkled in her golden hair. The male also has glitter in his jet black hair only it is blue, and his glossy suit of the same colour reflects the sun in an amazing way.
Oh my, he's handsome.
"Ah, has there ever been a time when we couldn't rely on District One to blow us all away?" the crowd cheers in agreement, and the tributes from two come behind them. The horses pulling their chariot seem pretty much the same as the tributes, who are armed and armoured to the teeth in large, iron, spikes that reach out of their chariot which adorns silver chains. Even their eyelashes seem like little pricks, and the both hold two sword - like weapons from which more spikes shoot out of. "I better not go near them. My nails are highly rippable!" Claudius says, and everyone around me is either giggling or laughing so hard they're choking on their own laughs. I'm one of them.
The two from three come next, a little similar to those from two although they wear mostly chrome and silk. Their horses are in costumes which make them look like robotic stallions, with little lights and buttons scattered all over them. The tributes are robots too, with little satellites on their heads, and it's amusing how they are waving at us with stops every second just like the machines. Their eyes are lit up rectangles with LED lights in the middle of them that shine red. "Hey, something to check on your therapist with!" Claudius laughs, and I don't almost fall over the fence and into the road until I see the screens slightly sticking out of their chests.
The horses pulling the District 4 chariot are dressed as huge, sparkling sea horses. Haha, clever. They are connected to the chariot which is more like a moving sea of crashing, bright blue waves with emerald sea weed. The female is quite like the chariot aswell, with thrills in her saphire blue, glowing dress - which is dotted with gold, pink, and bronze sea shells - that resemble the huge waves. The male is in a scaly, golden suit and is tangled in sea weed. His tie is a net which he takes off and whips the crowd with, while they try to catch it.
"The eye - catch of the day, eh?" Jasara says it in sync with Caeser, and everyone around us reacts.
The beige - golden, glamarously lit up chariot of District 5 comes behind them, which is pulled by glittery horses of the same colour. Their eyes have a distinctive tango colour to them too. The tributes both have furious expressions, and are are in identical outfits - tango, shining bodysuits that are dotted with foam yellow lightning strikes.They both wear sorts of crowns that also have these strikes - very eye catching. There is some sort of box in between them from which they take these lightning strikes from - attatched to nothing - and jolt them at the crowd, starting a wave of colourful hands shooting into the sky trying to catch them. When one comes my way, I can't resist but to dive to the side on top of a shocked Jasara to get it. I screech "YES!" when I do.
"Boys, don't bring your third wife the wrong shampoo." Caeser sets off an explosion of giggles particularly from women.
I don't know how they did this, but the horses pulling the District 6 chariot almost exactly look like bright red, black - windowed cars! - It's unfortunate the clickety - clock of the horses ruin it. The tributes are waving at the crowd from the open sun roof of a jet black limo. The female is in a long grey dress with sorts of platinum, glossy wheels all over it - she's even wearing one on her head. It's pretty funny to be honest. But I'm not as bemused at her than I am at the male, who is a large, bright yellow bird with an orange beak the size of a particularly large or old baby a few months before becoming a toddler. He's also flapping his wings, waving off loose feathers. No more distinctive features on him. It isn't really the best District 6 have done - the crowd think so too when they don't particularly roar like they did then that Finnick guy from 4 won seven years ago. But they give them some credit for the car horses, as well as the fact they were pretty smart to make one of the tributes a bird.
The bronze and emerald chariot of District 7 is pulled by chestnut brown horses with green manes. They are decorated with tree grains made of a dark yet silky material I can't lay my finger on. The female is in a long, mahogany, shimmering dress that rustles like a bunch of leaves when she moves. It is also decorated with the grains on the horses, and her green hair is tied up some how like an afro, with leaves dotted all over. Even her arms look like branches with the huge thrilly bracelets at the ends. It doesn't help that she's quite small, not really as tall as a tree, but you couldn't say the same for the male in a bodysuit similar to her dress, only it is more chocolate brown than mahogany. He also has the afro, and the bracelets. Brother and sister trees, they shout. Quite a site.
The horses that pull the chariot of District 8 are draped in scarlet red, shimmering silk robes and leave behind a trail of golden glitter from their spongey hooves. Their masks are seas of colourful threads, and their manes are the saphire manes the waves crash upon. The female is in an amazing, thrilly long dress which is coloured every colour under the sun. She wears a scarf that reaches out of the chariot, a waterfall of emeralds and ambers from her neck. Her gloves reach her elbows, covered in feathers of silver and bronze. The male is just as eye - catching as his partner - but he's not exactly soft as my friend Elara's hair, which I am still so confused about. An array of needles, the small platinum pointy sticks sticking out from all over him. Each of the needles' eyes has a different colour thread hanging from them, making him lethal and a rainbow. When he waves his arms, he displays the flying sticks of platinum that seem to be attatched to the other ends of the threads.
"No loose threads here!" Claudius booms.
Of course, there's always a really sad attempt to pull off something amazing in these parades. In this case it may easily be District 9. The tributes are in the same, ridiculous outfit - two large loaves of bread. Both of them are covered in fake breadcrumbs, and are steaming like they've just been pulled out of an oven. The horses are a similar colour and are also covered in these crumbs. They didn't cover these horses really well - they are black in patches like they're burnt. The tributes look so stupid, expecting people to dive upon eachother to catch the giant plastic bread crumbs they're jolting at us.
You'd have to say that District 10 are way more than enough to draw our gazes from the bemusing District 9, when the crowd roars in amazement at them. The horses are astonishing, bright snow white stallions that gallop with their heads raised proudly. There are blobs and patches of what seems to be black paint all over them that make them look a lot like cows. Some sort of cross breed. The curly haired, beaming female looking lovely with her smile is in a long shimmering black and white gown with the black patches all over it. Like the horses and the male, she wears a necklace of onyxes and diamonds in the centre of which is a magnificent golden bell ding-a-linging heavenlily. Her curly hair is dyed white like her gown and the horses, and black glitter seems to be sprinkled all over it. I didn't even know black glitter was a thing. Her partner, however, seems to be dressed completely different. His cape of pitch black leather which is made to seem like only patches of leather on a great cloth of white silk flies from his shoulders. That is, however, the only white there is on him. He is dressed in a suit, a mix of leather black and brown. He holds in both of his hands two large bells which alert us all with the sun reflected off of it. I have to look closely to see that the cape isn't the only place where white is - his tie is of a black and white cow print as well.
The District 11 chariot is tangled in olive-ish vines, from which beautiful flowers of all colours blossom.The horses are like moving orchards, with the berries, grapes, apples, cherries and any other orchard fruit you could find on them. A rainbow of birds surround the whole thing, revolving around the tributes. The female is in a long, emerald green dress, flowering with plants and crops and - if you look closely - small trees. She wears an amazing crown of leaves, and her cape of vines flies behind her magnificently. When she gracefully waves you can hear the distinctive rustle of leaves. Her partner is in a similar bodysuit, a marvellous forest of fruits and flowers the same tiny trees. He also wears a crown of leaves, although his is dotted with small, silver objects that seem to look like spades and rakes that dig into the chestnut brown base.
Not really 11's best work, but they would've been a much better ending than 12. I don't really know what I see until Jasara tells me - two massive black blocks of coal. You can see the coal dust scatterd all over the tributes and horses, leaving a trail of black powder on the road. But that's all there really is to see. Both tributes - who don't look too thrilled to wear what they are - are massive blocks of coal covered in coal dust. Some grand finale.
The chariots circle round the end of the road for a few seconds, each of the tributes either waving at us or glaring viciously at each other. They then position themselves infront of the mansion, and look up at President Snow at the balcony. Everyone silences.
"Many greetings, tributes of the 72nd Hunger Games!" he begins. "We all honour you, for your courage to step into the arena, your ambition to claw your way to victory," he pauses for a bit. "And your sacrifice!" The crowd pauses him with a roar, and then he carries on. "Happy Hunger Games to you all. Fight well, never lose your hope," we all know what comes next. "And may the odds be ever in your favour."
Janine Konin's POV
Thump! That's the third time I fell of that stupid wall, onto this cold marble floor. The careers just stupidly laugh at me on the floor - well it's not like those fatsoes could do any better.
"Janine, I told you not to leap..." Brux says as he comes to retrieve me.
"But it could be useful!" I debate. "What if we were being chased up a cliff and we had to climb it, and the person who was coming after us was getting closer and the only way to gain speed was to leap?"
"That won't happen because we're staying well away from the other tributes. Remember?" He pulls me up. The careers are still laughing, even if there are only two of them and it looks pretty sad.
"Why don't you try to climb my -"
"Why don't you learn to stop scoffing other people's food at the table instead of just your own? You look like an elephant on morphling." I really can't stand that D6 guy.
"Janine, don't anger them more." Brux says, grabbing my arm and leading me to the edible plants section. I'll anger whoever I want. I hope those twats explode out of anger and they have to scrape their body parts off of the floor like that other girl from Seven.
Daniel Halloy's POV
"Hey, District One dude!" I call out. Buck and I have been warching him. He's pretty handy with a spear - he just bolted one right in the bull's eye of a target.

BP's tarnished image
Player utilities
Listen to the Story.
Skip to content
BP is doing its best to save its global image in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill. Anchor Marco Werman speaks about BP's tarnished image with Suzanne Vranica of the Wall Street Journal
MARCO WERMAN: You might have seen one of BP's ads in a newspaper or on TV this past weekend. The energy giant is apologizing for the spill and pledging to clean up the mess. The ads show that BP is also trying to clean up its image. Don't laugh. It can be done. Exxon's image hit rock bottom in 1989 when the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska's Prince William Sound. But the corporation didn't merely weather the storm, today it's America's most profitable company. Suzanne Vernitsa is a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. Do you think BP now has a world wide image problem Suzanne? Or is its brand tarnished primarily in the U.S.?
SUZANNE VERNITSA: I would think if you live on Mars, its image up there is also taking a beating. The fact of the matter is there's no such thing anymore as sort of a localized crisis. You saw clear evidence of this when BP's first phase of this image repair job took to the web. Obviously they got their agency Ogilvie and Mather involved to make sure that their YouTube channel was giving out all the information they could, videos of their CEO talking to the public, so nothing is a local crisis anymore. So obviously their image is taking a beating from every ocean and every continent around the world.
WERMAN: Explain exactly what they've done with YouTube.
VERNITSA: The first thing that they thought of, which a lot of companies tend to forget or are not as familiar with using is the web and they use social networking to get the message out really quickly. A lot of noise has been made about the print ads, but if you go on YouTube and you put in BP, they basically took over a channel on YouTube and made it the BP channel and immediately put up videos, newsfeeds, interviews from the CEO, every interview and every piece of content that they had addressing the situation. Then they rolled out all the print ads and everything else.
WERMAN: I guess there's some ethical considerations there with BP acquiring its own YouTube channel, but even more complex is the idea that they're dictating search terms with Google and Yahoo. Explain how that works.
VERNITSA: Well what they can do is then start to buy search terms so that when you put in, and I have not figured out if they've done that and we probably will start to see them buying up search terms, when people search in Google "BP", their results will come up or at least people will be more exposed to the message. That's just PR 101, especially in this day and age.
WERMAN: I'm wondering if some countries that have really quick on their toes environmental activists whether BP is suffering more intense blow back in any countries outside the U.S.
VERNITSA: Despite the years of advertising, their message of green companies, there is already a very sour taste in people's mouths from every country, so I think it's difficult for any of these oil giants to step out of this. That's why you're seeing the opinion scores and the reputation scores for all of the oil industries sinking right now. So it's a global phenomenon. It's not going to be limited to the U.S. Obviously it's worse in the U.S. and as you move further and further away, it dilutes. But if you look at BP as a U.K. based company and the fact is there's no way that they're not monitoring this situation, how it's affecting their brand world wide. They actually have the tools to do that.
WERMAN: In 2000 BP spent hundreds of millions of dollars to retool its image using slogans like "BP - Beyond Petroleum". Did that campaign work in terms of making consumers see BP as green?
VERNITSA: It very much did work. They invested hundreds of millions in dollars in this and if you look at some of the studies that we've seen, there's a big ad conglomerate named Omnicom in the U.S., basically they have data that says they are like the 83rd largest brand in the world, and they've done a pretty good job getting that tag line "beyond petroleum" and this green idea stuck. When you're putting this much money, hundreds of millions of dollars into a brand message it works and the fact of the matter is it heats up every once in a while about green washing, but they've done a good job in the general market getting this message through. Let's be sure, BP will probably have to dump "beyond petroleum" at this point. In fact, I have sources that are saying that they're working on what happens next. They're going to have to scrap that entire campaign and come up with a new position for this company.
WERMAN: Suzanne Vernitsa will the Wall Street Journal, thank you very much.
VERNITSA: Thank you for having me.

Will it happen?
No need to break out your calculators because I took care of it. Here are the numbers.
McCoy has played in 86 games in his career and has tallied 6,491 rushing yards. The near 6,500 yards is good for 71st all time on the career rushing list.
71st does not seem that high on the list, but consider the names he has surpassed in just his sixth year in the league. Larry Johnson, Calvin Hill, and the Philly Phaithful's own Steve Van Buren are in Shady's rear-view mirror.
As a matter of fact, McCoy is on pace to own the Birds' rushing record after Sunday's contest against the Seahawks. Shady needs just 48 yards to break Wilbert Montgomery's record 6,538 yards gained in an Eagles uniform. Montgomery owned the record since 1984.
McCoy's first start was on September 27th, 2009 against the Chiefs. The rookie ran for 84 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown in a 34-14 win against Kansas City.
Over his near six years in the league, McCoy has averaged 75.5 yards a game.
His most impressive season was last year with 1,607 yards on 314 carries.
2013 was the lone year McCoy started every game in a season. Though he has yet to miss a game this season.
With four games remaining this season, Shady has 1,018 yards on the ground, which is third most in the league. That stat in itself is astounding, as McCoy had putrid game totals of 17, 19, and 22 yards earlier this year.
He has just four 100 yard rushing games so far. However, the former Pittsburgh Panther is getting hot when it matters, as two of them have come in the last two weeks.
The streak might come to an end this week, as the Birds play host to the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Seattle comes into the contest with the 5th best rushing defense in the league, giving up 86.3 yards a game.
The Seahawks defense is straight up impermeable, giving up over 100 yards rushing in only five games, and just two 100 yard rushers this whole season (DeMarco Murray and Jamaal Charles).
For the Eagles to win this 4:25 date with the 'Hawks, the success of the running game will be imperative. All four of Seattle's losses have come when the opponent eclipses the century mark on the ground.
I personally do not see McCoy reaching triple digits on his own, but perhaps the three-headed attack of McCoy, Sproles, and Polk will lead the Eagles to the key component of beating the champs.
Philly's last three games are against their division rivals. LeSean's two highest outputs of the season have come against the Giants (149) and most recently the Cowboys (159). The Eagles home finale will be against the Cowboys next Sunday in front of America in prime time.
I would be shocked to see Dallas struggle as much as they did against the Eagles on Thanksgiving. Especially because of the extra rest they will have coming off a Thursday Night game against the Bears.
Nevertheless, It's totally plausible Shady can break off a couple of big runs and get to the 100 yard plateau in front of the hometown fans.
The Redskins do not have a lot to boast about, but they do have a very solid rush defense. Currently 9th overall in the league, Washington shut down Shady to a mere 22 yards on 19 carries in the brouhaha back in Week 3.
It couldn't get worse, right?
Plus, the Redskins are now rockin' their best Sixers impression, riding a four game losing streak and a 3-9 record into the weekend. The tanking for Mariota might already be in full effect.
"To the victor go the spoils," and McCoy might be the most victorious in Week 16.
Speaking of tanking. I'm proud to say the team on the longest losing streak in the league right now are the New York Giants.
New York, home of the 31st ranked rush defense, give up 140.6 rushing yards a game. They are the opponent for the Eagles in the final week of the season. If there was any team the McCoy could run on, it's the Giants.
Right now, McCoy averages 84.8 yards a game. If he simply hits that average for each of his remaining games, he would total 339 yards.
If he reaches what each of his opponent's give up, he would amass 441 yards.
My verdict: McCoy has been on fire, but won't get to the point of rushing for 110 yards a game for the final four weeks of the season. He will struggle against Seattle, but will make up for it in his final two contests on the road in Washington and East Rutherford. I predict a total of 1,408 yards on the season.
Last year around this time, the NFL was congratulating Adrian Peterson on his amazing accomplishment of being the third fastest player ever to gain 10,000 yards. At the age of 28, Peterson made the mark in his 101st career game.
With 86 games in the books, It is apparent McCoy will not reach that achievement in 101 games.
By the start of the season next year, Shady will be 27 and approximately 3,100 yards away from 10k.
For McCoy to achieve the glory of 10,000 yards before 30 years old, the running back can realistically take two paths.
The first one would be have another 1,600 yard or so year on the ground in 2015. Then the runner can clean up the final 1,500 yards over the following two years. Pounding the rock in 2015 will definitely help the cause, but would put ware on the tires for the following years.
The second path would be continue what the coach has called so far. Through what we have seen with Chip Kelly's game plan, McCoy has not had a game over 25 carries. Therefore, LeSean could average 1,200 yards a season, and still be healthy after the age of 30.
This route would be similar to what the Giants did with Tiki Barber. Barber owns two of the three seasons in NFL history where a 30+ year old has rushed for over 1,500 yards in a year (And those were for 1,860 and 1,662 yards).
Most important to the cause, #25 will have to stay healthy. Any injury that would make him miss six or more games would significantly hinder his chances at the achievement.
No matter if he reaches the goal or not, it is safe to say that LeSean McCoy will go down as one of, if not the, best runner in Philadelphia Eagles history.

Chocolate Coated Peanut Butter Balls (No Bake)
Be the first to review
READY IN: 24hrs
Recipe by Kittencalrecipezazz
These are so easy to make and require no baking, you can make these up to 5 days in advance and refrigerate in an airtight container. Plan ahead the balls have to be chilled overnight before coating in chocolate. Just a warning, these are VERY addicting LOL! You should get between 45-50 small balls, depending on the size you make them, so yield is only estimated.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 2 cups corn flakes cereal (just slighty crushed)
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups dry milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 15 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
Directions See How It's Made
- Line a cookie sheet with foil.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave.
- In a large bowl combine cereal, peanut butter, dry milk and powdered sugar; mix in melted butter.
- Moisten hands and roll about 1 tablespoon mixture into a ball.
- Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining mixture and then chill overnight.
- Line cookie sheets with foil.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occsionally.

Baby starlings are a common sight in suburbs and cities. If you happen upon a wild baby starling who you believe needs help, remember that fully feathered birds are fledglings and are ready to leave the nest. Leave these birds alone. They need two to three days to learn how to fly. Birds without feathers can be returned to the nest. The only baby starling you should attempt to feed is one that is injured, and who cannot therefore fly and feed itself.
Things You'll Need
- Popsicle stick or a similar instrument
- Avian vitamins
- Calcium tablet
- Pet food
Add water to pet food and mash it up to make it easier for the baby starling to digest. You can mash in such other items as hard boiled eggs, applesauce and baby food, if you wish to vary the taste.
Mix a spoonful of avian vitamins--available from a pet store--and a ground-up calcium tablet into your bird feed. This will ensure that the baby starling's nutritional requirements are met.
Feed the baby starling with a long, blunt instrument, such as a Popsicle stick, chopstick or a straw with its end cut. As the bird grows older, the handle of a spoon serves as a good feeding device. Do not use such sharp items as Q-Tips.
Feed the baby starling every 20 to 30 minutes and continue to feed it until the bird stops "begging" for food. A baby starling requires continuous feeding for about 12 hours a day. The typical "begging" action involves the baby starling opening its beak as wide as it can and tilting its head backward. When the baby starling grows older, it need only be fed every hour.
Tips & Warnings
- Buy pet food with chicken or meat as the main ingredient. Most dog or cat feeds in the supermarket will be fine. Starlings require a high protein diet so meat-based pet foods makes a good base for creating baby starling feed.
- Keep the bird feed is at room temperature when you serve it. This makes it easier for the baby starling to digest the food.
- Do not use other bird feed, such as soft bill pellets, to feed a baby starling because those feeds will not meet the bird's protein requirements.
- If the baby starling is wild, try to handle it as seldom as possible. Too much touching and the bird will view you as a parent figure, decreasing its chances of surviving in the wild.
- Never feed baby starlings earthworms or fishing worms. These carry parasites that are harmful to baby birds.

When the Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailer first hit, one of the weirdest things for me was watching Robert Redford and Nick Fury shake hands. And everybody was talking about The Sundance Kid (Redford's classic role alongside Paul Newman--kids, ask your parents) being in the cast of the film. But it struck me: I wonder if that could literally be the case?
In life as in the film (and sorry about spoilers, but Jesus, it's historical and the film's been out since 1969), Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid were both likely killed by the Bolivian Army in 1908. But there's been loads of speculation as to whether or not they actually died there. There's more than one theory out there about one or both of them surviving. (See the film Blackthorn for a fairly badass "Butch survived" setup.)
So here's another insane one. Let's say The Kid survived and managed to slowly make his way back to the United States. And let's say he continued to survive until World War II. He would have been in his mid-70s...and Robert Redford is 77 years old in real life.
So let's further say that some version of the Infinity Formula (from Marvel Comics...it slows down the aging process) was created in an attempt to recreate the process that made Steve Rogers into Captain America. The Kid could have been tapped by the government (for reasons unknown) and given the formula. Or maybe he wasn't given it by the government but some other rogue organization. Whatever. He's given it. And he regenerates and regains some youth as a result.
He takes on more than one alias before becoming Alexander Pierce. Those aliases could include Martin Bishop and Nathan Muir (his first job for the government that we know of). And the formula slows aging but doesn't stop it--so guess what, by the time we get to today, he would be the age Redford is now.
Mad? Perhaps. But The Two-Gun Kid traveled through time and joined The Avengers. And we're about to have a major motion picture starring a talking raccoon and a tree. So stranger things have happened and will continue to happen in Marveldom. And it's fun to go all Wold Newton on things. Helps make the wait until the film easier.

Update at 8:10 p.m. ET:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says the Senate will vote on Saturday to break the logjam on "don't ask, don't tell."
Our original post starts here:
The bid to overturn the "don't ask, don't tell" policy appears to be picking up steam in the Senate, as three key Republican moderates signal their support.
Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., will support overturning the ban on openly gay servicemembers "if and when a clean repeal bill comes up for a vote," spokeswoman Gail Gitcho told ABC News.
Brown now joins GOP Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska as new repeal supporters. According to ABC, that would mean on paper that the Senate would have 61 votes -- enough to not only get past any kind of procedural roadblock but also more than the majority necessary to pass the bill itself.
Brown's support comes a day after the House easily passed its own stand-alone bill to get rid of "don't ask, don't tell," which has been in place since 1993. House Democratic leaders have said their vote was aimed at getting the Senate to act.
Sixty votes are usually needed to get anything done in the Senate because of filibuster threats. Last week, the Senate essentially blocked repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" with a 57-40 vote -- three short of the 60 needed.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said again this afternoon that he wants to take up a stand-alone measure to overturn the policy before the lame-duck Congress ends. He also vowed to keep senators working right up to Jan. 5, when the new Congress gets sworn in, and he decried delay tactics by Republicans who "want to run out the clock."
USA TODAY's John Fritze spoke to Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., a sponsor of the repeal bill.
"It's just wrong to let the opponents of the repeal...to run out the clock," Lieberman said. "This is not only good for the military but it's a civil rights measure, and the day should be over where we let civil rights measures be filibustered so they can't be adopted."
