calypso jaclyn //
goes by calypso, she/her, cisfemale, 17 yrs, from district 11
━━━━━~♠~━━━━━
calypso jaclyn grew up in the district of grain, or rather, agriculture. she could often be found stealing food for her small family of three; her grandmother, her father, and her younger cousin. though she was caught a few times by another member of district 11, she’s never been found out by any peacekeepers. and so, calypso learned that stealing was nessecary at a young age. her father died a few years ago, leaving her and her cousin the only ones bringing in money and food.
calypso is a guarded person, she feels that only family can be the ones trusted with her own life. she can come off as reckless and rude, as calypso isn’t exactly a people-person. though, once you get to know her she’s almost as loyal as a dog. calypso wouldn’t want to betray anyone, and the hunger games are probably gonna be a hard time for her. if she even makes any allies.

Sasha Rivine
goes by Sasha or Sash, she/they, cisfemale, 17 years, from district 2

~~~~~~~~~❦~~~~~~~~~

Sasha grew up in the career districts, where she's had enough to eat. She had always had a soft spot for the lower districts and has wanted to help them. She had never been a violent type but once she got called for the reaping that changed. When her name got pulled out of the shiny glass owl she hoped someone would volunteer but no one did, so she is now working hard to win the hunger games so there is a better chance of her helping out others.

on the train to the capitol
━━━━━~♠~━━━━━

a day ago..
calypso was standing in the group of girls of district 11. she could see her cousin in the boy’s crowd, he looked nervous. she was nervous, but wouldn’t let them see it. she wanted them to see her confident and without worry. the capital woman stood at podium with a microphone in her hands. she looked so happy; as if she didn’t care for any of the children under immense pressure because they might just be leaving to their deaths.
calypso didn’t notice the boy’s name get called. he would end up being her district partner, though the girl didn’t know it yet. his name was asim foster, a 14 year old boy who was sweating like crazy as he walked to the podium where the capitol woman stood.
now it was the girl’s turn. calypso wanted to run, but she knew that they would just end up killing her. it would be a better fate than the hunger games, though. "and for our second district 11 tribute.." the woman reached into the glass bowl with a wide and creepy smile on her face, "..we have calypso jaclyn!" she and a few peacekeepers clapped like they had for asim. calypso’s world all the sudden went fuzzy, and as she walked up to the podium she realized something. she probably wasn’t coming back. she wasn’t going to survive the games, not with the careers.. it was a death trap.
she wouldn’t see her family again. calypso reached the stage, standing on the right side of the capital woman. she took calypso’s hand and held it up in the sky. "and there you have it! the district 11 tributes! welcome asim foster and calypso jaclyn!" calypso knew she was expected to smile, but she didn’t. franticly, calypso searched the crowd for her cousin. her grandmother couldn’t come out, but she needed to see a family member’s face. she couldn’t find him.

the present..
the land rolled by as time went by second by second, calypso had a lot of time to reflect on her time on the capitol’s train. there were other tributes on the train, but she was staying away from them. calypso didn’t want to get familiar with her new enemies. she knew that they would stab her in the back if she gave them the chance. literally. calypso sighed, wiping away a angry and sad tear. she couldn’t let them see weakness. a woman came over, asking her if she wanted a cup of water earlier. calypso had accepted. she had almost been dying of thirst. and so, the district 11 girl took a sip of the water. it was cold, a luxury that she never had in her district unless it was freezing cold out. calypso scanned her fellow tributes, searching for the careers. they looked so intimidating, and calypso felt fear. she had a slim chance that she could win, but she knew that it was small. very slim. the careers had a much better chance than her, they were most likely to get sponsored. calypso also knew she needed sponsors in order to even survive that far. every year calypso had watched the games, and she remembered something that her father had called the bloodbath. it sounded.. horrible. but the games were horrible, every single part of them was.

Sasha
Sasha awoke the morning of reaping to sunlight streaming into her room. She was part of District 2, so she had never gotten to experience the poverty that the lower districts had. She slid her legs out from under the silk satin sheets and yawned. She didn't have too busy of a day, so she decided she would make breakfast for her sisters. Her family consisted of all girls. Her father, Ryan died when she was young, but without a reason. She thinks that there is no reason for her father's mysterious disappearance is because the Capital had something to do with it, but there wasn't much she could do about that. She shuffled her way to the kitchen, still half asleep. "Hello, Claire!", she greeted her youngest sibling who was standing next to her, gripping tightly to her teddy bear plush. Claire pulled at her pantleg once. "Yes?" she asked. "What's going to happen this reaping?" She asked in her small voice. She asked this every year, and frankly, Sasha got quite fed up with it, but she answered as she always did. "Well, I'm not sure. But whatever happens, I assure you I'll be alright." She responded and patted her head to comfort her.


~LATER ON~
Sasha walked to the town square where the reaping was held, and she stood in her designated spot. "Girls' names go first, better to get it over with so we know it's not us." she murmured to the girl standing next to her. "Alright, and the girl tribute for District Two is... Sasha Rivine! Sasha, why don't you come on up sweetie?" Called the announcer. Sasha's heart froze. For a moment it felt like it stopped beating, she was never in any training to be a "career" as the lower districts called it. She walked up to the podium with her hands shaking, she felt like her legs were going to give out. What would happen to her family? Her family was all she had. When she got up to the podium and they called for volunteers, she sighed because most people in District Two were willing to volunteer, or even eager to do so. She looked around and when no one volunteered she swore she could hear crickets. Her head started pounding. This is real, and she was going to the Hunger Games to fight to the death. There was no going back from this.

trading center
━━━━━~♠~━━━━━

as they led her into the training center and apartment buildings, calypso thought about how luxurious and spacey this whole place was. it was as if she was an actual guest here. but calypso wasn’t, and the force field behind her reminded her of that. calypso fiddled with her hands as she walked. they were shuffled into an elevator, which took them up up and into the tributes’ layer of the building.
calypso knew that this would probably be one of the last places that she would stay, and that she should make the best of it. but the girl didn’t want to. she wanted to run over and go through that force field to go back to the mess that was district 11. soon enough, the doors opened to her apartment. she was led in, and then someone said, "training will start tomorrow." calypso couldn’t pin point the voice to the person, and her sight was too fuzzy. calypso fell onto the bed and the rest of the afternoon was a blur.

the next day..
calypso had gotten up early, knowing that most tributes would start training early. she had rushed through getting dressed, and had scarfed down breakfast. it was the biggest meal she had ever had, and however much she had tried to hide that she had enjoyed it, she knew that they saw it. a while later, calypso was in front of the door to the training area. it was 9:00 am. training usually started at 10, but she wanted to get there when there was nobody. hopefully. sucking in a breath, calypso pushed opened the door with her hand.
