ic: Liv Dare - District 1

 My heart was racing faster than ever as I breathlessly ran, desperate to get to that gleaming Cornicopia first. I reaced my goal, and I slung a black backpack full of supplies over my shoulder, then grab two daggers from a nearby table. I was loaded with supplies and weapons, and I was ready to go. Now to see if anyone was dumb enough to challenge me.

Cassidy (Cassie) Bryant, 16~ Female Tribute- District 2

I madly dashed after some other Career girl as soon as the gong sounded. The sound of the huge, crashing gong still rang loud in my ears, but I didn't stop to test my ear; that would've been stupid. She had grabbed so many useful weapons already, while I had none.

Quickly, so not to lose what little time I had left, I randomly snagged up a bright blue backpack, and it was satisfyingly heavy. But I wasn't done-I would grab more as much as I could.

I grabbed a wispy looking oak bow and arrow. They were small and a bit stiff, but I knew how to handle one well, and it would only be a couple tries before I mastered the weapon.

I had what I needed to live in the arena. Now, I would start targeting others. I didn't want a foolish alliance- I didn't want to trust someone too easily and then have to kill him or her later... Without meaning to, I followed another girl- she was already panting, and she was heading towards safety.

District Seven

I raced off the platform immedietly, my svelte body maneuvering swiftly through the crowd of tributes, my wild blonde hair trailing behind me. I took a quick glance back before I was tackled to the ground. My pale green eyes looked up to meet the intense blue gaze of a muscled career tribute with a dagger in his hands, aiming to pierce my neck. Luckily, I had the first move since my feet had been against his stomach. I kicked them up and he went flying into the air and hit the ground with a sickening thud. That'll show him...

I quickly turned back and headed towards the golden Cornicopia, grabbing a bag of supplies and a pack of a dozen throwing knives. I whipped my head around and slung the bag over my bony shoulder then I ran after two girls who seemed to be heading towards safety, maybe I would form an alliance...

Liv Dare - District 1

 My wild black hair got in my eyes as I ran towards the lush forest's safety. It looked like the arena this year was a beautiful woodland area, which would be an advantage towards District 11, whom were natural climbers. But I wasn't worried about some tree-climbers. I would win these games, even if I had to kill for it.

 Then, a sudden noise- a twig snapping in half, I think. I whipped around, to see a pair of girls whom had followed me away from the Cornicopia. One I recognized as Cassidy Bryant, from District 2. The other I didn't remember, as she wasn't one of the Career districts, but I could tell she was from an outer district because she was bony, and looked under-fed.

 I held up one of my glittering silver daggers, but I would let them make the first move. If they wanted to fight, they could, or if they wanted to talk, they could. I didn't really care. I wouldn't kill them right here, right now unless I had to.

Cassidy (Cassie) Bryant, 16~ Female Tribute- District 2

I skidded to a halt behind Liv, my breathing even. She had pulled out an impressive looking dagger, and it glinted dangerously in the sun. She was panting, and she looked uncertain. Se find look too shabby for a lower district like 11. They were the second poorest district of all of us. But the girl, whose dark hair was all over her face, betrayed no emotion, especially not fear. "What are you doing? Get to safety!" was the first thing I said. I wonder why.

I was a Career! Why was I telling her she ought to find shelter instead of killing her?!

[confetti. says meow]

ooc: She's in District 1.

ic: Liv Dare - District 1
 
 I had voted "no" on the Career thing on the first day of training. I'd have to kill them all anyways, so why make friends with them? And plus, I prefer to work alone.

 I snickered softly at the District 2 girl's words. She was a Career, wasn't she? Or maybe just unworthy of her district. After all, I'd always admired District 2 for their strength and talent with weapons.

OOC: Oops... now Cassie just sounds like a big softie.

IC:

Cassie-2

Cassie hissed as she heard Liv's muffled laugh. "Dare to laugh at me?!" she snarled, and whipped out her weapon. It glinted in the sun, still stiff and hard to bend from it's newness. But nevertheless, Cassie equipped it with ease. "I'll show you!"

She pointed one arrow at the girl's chest and pulled back her string, then fired without hesitation. "Idiot!" she muttered and fled into the shady forest.

Liv - District 1

 "It's idiots like you that'll make this easy." I whispered as the arrow bounced off my glinting silver dagger. I had held it over her heart, as a sort of shield, and it had blocked the District 2 girl's weapon.

 With that, I skipped away, the black backpack hanging on my right shoulder and the dagger still in my hand.

Cassie-2

Cassie shook her head, her brown hair bouncing to and fro. Giving up on hunting down the other Career, as she knew they'd meet up later anyway, she hurried to retrieve her arrow and quickly got the heck out of the Cornicopia, not wanting to shed we own blood for no good reason. "What an idiot." she told herself. "Can't see a good ally in front of her own long nose." and Cassie ran to get a good place to shelter.

Liv - District 1

 I decided to set up camp in a tall tree, which someone would have to be a good climber to reach. Actually, it was diffucult for me to get up there, but I eventually made it. I lay down on a long, sturdy branch that I was sure wouldn't break. I put my daggers in my backpack, so they wouldn't fall onto the grass below.

OOc: I forgot my first person thing! Oops.

I quickly found a source of water, and beaming proudly, I ducked down beneath a veil of vines and lichen to get a drink of the cold liquid.

Drinking mouthfuls of the good, pure stuff, I tried to cram as much as I could into my belly, hoping that the water would deceive my stomach, so it would think it was food, and get hungry. Stupid hope, but I tried anyway. It did the trick. Happily, I filled my canteen- which I found in my backpack- and capped it. Then, I headed for the horizon, knowing that many would try to hide from the sun. But maybe there'd be more food sources there.

District Seven

I watched as they walked away from where I stood, alone. I just shrugged it off and continued my trek trough the lush green thicket, pale green eyes narrowed in concentration. I wouldn't need to make an alliance anyways, I knew how to scavenge food and I was great with lumber and making a fire, since I was from district seven and all. I also didn't want to get too attatched to someone, and then end up having to maul that person to death. Only one person gets out alive and I doubt that person will ever be me.

I quickly shook my head and turned my attention to finding a stream to fill my canteen, heading through a bush and sure enough, I find the same girl crouched down, filling her own canteen. I watched her before she stood up and heading towards the other direction. I guess I was too quiet for her to even notice me, so I crouched down and filled mine up, taking a quick sip. I finished and closed the canteen's cap, gingerly putting it back into my black, backpack.

I removed one of my dozen throwing knives and narrowed my eyes as the girl, who still didn't seem to notice me. I didn't know if she was a career or not, but if she whipped around and saw me, I had to be prepared, who knows what she would do...

[ѕaιrєFTW]

Cassie-2

I heard the faint rustle of undergrowth from behind me, and in an instant, I turned back around, my eyes narrowed suspiciously and my Bow and arrow at the ready. It was a girl, thin and stick-like. She couldn't be a Career. Her dagger was in one of her hands, held in a defensive position. Her eyes were as slitted as mine. "Well, well." I chuckled, putting my arms down but still clutching my weapon. "What are you doing, following a big ole' Career like me around?" I queried, curious. I wasn't one to always start the fight. I wanted to know her reasons before I attacked.

[{{ тнє иιgнт ѕку ™]

District Seven

A small grim smirk slowly formed across my pale lips, a career was she? They were always arrogant and obnoxious but she didn't seem to immedietly attack like most though I still gripped my throwing knife in my hands, once I threw this the fight would be on.

I shook my blonde head out of my thoughts and returned my attention back at the career, furrowing my arched eyebrow at the questions. "It's not that I'm following you, I simply keep running into you" I answered level-headedly, now waiting for some type of response and bracing myself for an attack, either way I'd be ready.

[ѕaιrєFTW]

Cassie-2

I snorted. What kind of an excuse was that? Either way, I wasn't going to get mad so easily, as many of the Careers did. "You do, huh?" I muttered. "That's just fabulous for both of us."
