The 25th Hunger Games (Hybrid Hunger Games rp; semi-lit)

I nodded and walked away to the giant net that hung from the ceiling. When I had the time, I climbed, just climbed. Trees, buildings, you name it, if it was back home in my district, then I'd climbed it. Unless, of coarse, it was somewhere I'd be punished for going. So now it sounded like a perfect time to practice and actually try and make that skill better. If I could. Remember, your hands and feet are different now, so climbing will probably be harder. I told myself as if I were one of the instructors. I walked back a couple of feet, and started running. My heels never once touched the ground when I ran, but it was the rest of my foot I was running on. I jumped up to the net, outstretching my hands to grab it. I climbed up the net quickly, using both my hands and my feet to move up the net to the ceiling. Once I reached the ceiling, I started climbing across it without thinking, my tail close to the net, ready to help. After a while of climbing the net across the ceiling, I got tried and stuck myself between the net and the ceiling. After resting, I returned to the climbign side of the net and started going back the same way I'd gotten up.

•Dakota---District 2---Genet•

How had Dakota gotten here in the first place? Everything was a blur. He remembered his name being called, then his sister giving him her necklace before he boarded the train...The tribute parade. He grimaced at the though of that. They'd left him totally bare-chested to show off his spots, then painted his face in an almost war-like way. Now he was training, mostly for the things he wasn't as experienced with, so that meant a lot of practicing with spears, tridents, camouflaging, survival skills. He was keeping as low a profile as possible through all of this, though, of course, everyone paid close attention to the career districts. At the moment, he was contemplating whether or not to go over to the hand-to-hand combat area...But there was another kid over there right now. He wasn't so sure if he wanted to show a beginner his secrets. He sighed. He'd have to go over there at some point to brush up on his moves...The Genet boy headed over to the hand-to-hand section, thankful that there were two instructors. He walked up to the one that wasn't occupied with the other kid and gave him a pointed look. "Let's begin." The instructor said, sliding into a fighting stance. Dakota mimicked his movements, ready to fight.

I sigh, and walk over and study the swords. I had always liked swords. I grabbed a pretty fancy one, and swing around, feeling it. I then walk over the dummies, and get in my ready postion, and charge at the dummy. I stop, and blink as it moves. Wah.....?!I think, and chase after it. It was suppost to give you the sensation of being there.... The voice of my trainer echoing in my mind, and I grin. I continue to chase it, until I had cut it up pretty good, and I had finally chopped off the head. I guess these games were harder than they looked.

(Training, mostly.)

Amber walked over to the bow and arrow spot and took each. She raised the arrow and aimed for her target. She release and hit a bulls-eye.

Cog-D3-14-Honey Badger
He'd been going at it for more then an hour, and Cog was finally starting to do it. Punch to the stomach, bring your forearm out to block his hit, reach around and grab the fist before it can break your block, and... Well, he was supposed to throw the instructor backwards, but the instructor had at least fifty pound on him, plus Cog didn't have enough momentum. The badger tribute mutters curses under his breath as he gets thrown back onto the mad for the fiftieth time... But he gets right back up again, determained.

Amber was watching Cog and was thinking. 'If I form an alliance with him then I'll just take him out at the end,' she thought. She strolled over to where he was and waited for Cog to finish.

Cog-D3-14-Honey Badger

The small boy fought with all the strength he could muster, this time stepping to the side, and raking his clawed fingers over the instructors side as said instructor stumbled foreward with momentum. Next, Cog turns to face the instructors back while the insctructs stops himself- and jumps. Right onto his back, where the raven-haired boy being tearing the shirt to ribbon's with his claws. He knows it's training, that's why he hasn't broken skin, but there sure would be blood flying if he was in the arena, he tells himself. ...Then, Cog lets the instructor up, and goes for a short break to cool down- he'll be back to practice his hand-to-hand soon enough.
It's just then when it hits him that someone's watching him, and his head snaps up to focus his poor day-vision on Amber. ...District 2, if he remembers correctly from the replay of the reapings. Cautiously, he wipes the sweat from his forehead and meets her gaze. "What?"

[Lover-Of-Music!]

Ambers wings fluttered nervously. "Hey. You're... Cog? I'm Amber. I was wondering if... well, if we could have an alliance." She whispered.
