Okay.

{Morning, I guess we can get along with it then while we wait for an answer}

Rena blinked her eyes open, bringing in the morning sun. Sitting up, she looked around her room that was full of golden light. Stiffly, she got out of bed and walked over to her door and out into the main room. She sat silently at the table and ate a small breakfast, unlike most of the other tributes, she and Austin were basically on a diet till the games. Even though all the food in front of her looked so tempting, Rena kept things at a down low.

I stay still in my bed. I think I have a headache right now. From the Hunger Games. I hate it. I don't want to get up. But my stomach growls. I need to eat. Sighing, I stand up and dress in a plain black T-shirt along with a mini-skirt. I don't want to dress up today. I walk to the dining table and sit down. I'm hungry. But I've got to go on a diet. I take a small bite out of a bread. The flavors are mixed, great, but I stop eating and drink milk. I can't drink juices or anything.

Austin looked up, he must've fell asleep. It was still early in the morning, maybe about six. At eight the Careers went down, two hours after the training room opens. Jumping out of bed, he quickly got into black sweatpants with a goldish yellow stripe one the sides and a sweatshirt with the same stripe on the arms. Under neath was a black tank top. { } Once he was done getting dressed, he briskly walked into the main room and grabbed a few rolls of bread from the center piece basket, then as soon as he stuffed one in his mouth he was out the door. "I'll be back 'round noon!" he yelled, letting his mentor know where he was.

[hotaru.]

I finish my breakfast and head back to my room. I'm bored. I don't want to train since I'm going to die, anyways. But I want to do something before I die. I just want to be with somebody.

(Question: Are all tributes on different places? Can they meet?)

{Well the Training Center that's mostly it }

Rena got up from the table and aimlessly stumbled towards the door. ""Rena honey, where you going?" she asked. "The Training Center," she replied, closing the door after her. Throughout the whole ride down to the basement, her hand clung to the tree pendant. As if her whole life literally depended on it.

[hotaru.]

I sigh and head out for the training center. I might as well as practice a bit. I head for the rope center. It's pretty hard. I'm not good with my fingers. They're too fat. But I try to do it. I make the first knot in 10 minutes, unlike the others.

By the time Austin was out of the elevator, he had finished his last roll. Quickly getting off, he walked right into Rena as she got out of her elevator. "Oh I'm sorry!" he exclaimed not seeing her, he had been so determined to get to the Training Center quickly that he was practically as blind as a bat.

"You could've flattened me!" Rena said loudly, holding back a giggle. "Oh well come one let's get to the Training Center before the Careers do..." she said faintly and headed for the room just ahead. She hadn't noticed until now that she was still wearing her pajamas which had been cashmere black pants and a silk tank top with a ruffle at the top. Her figure was quite small but she filled in the shirt perfectly.

[hotaru.]

I see Austin and Rena come in. I kind of like that pair. I wish I could be with them, but they're carreers. I can't be one. I continue on tying simple knots.

[dαєnєrчѕ tαrgαrчєn]

Austin looked at Rena, her hair wavy by last night's sleep, yet not a single tangle in her hair. "So what do you want to do first?" he asked her. He saw he look around deciding where to go.

"How about you teach me about weapons and I'll teach you about knots and herbs, ok? That way we can excel in those and still be top notch in what we're already good at," Rena said after she scanned the whole place.
