| The District 5 escort steps up on stage and smiles with blindingly white teeth. She starts speaking in a high pitched voice, "Welcome everyone to the Reapings! Today one young man and woman will be chosen to participate in the 29th Annual Hunger Games!" She steps up to the big bowls containing the names of every child in the district, from 12 to 18. Her hands hover above the bowls for a second, as if deciding something. "Now then, Ladies first!" she says, and reaches into the bowl filled with girls names... | |

| .:The two tributes "Marcelina Kovac and Chase Tobias" had been chosen for slaughter, all that would be left would be to cart them off for their grand appearance in the Capitol. "Now then, are there any volunteers?" The escort asked as their two tributes joined them, on stage. | |

| Twyla Evangeline Carters District 5 ************************************************************************************ "Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?"
Ty was dressed in her mother's old dress. It was a cream color, and slightly faded. The Carters family didn't have enough money to buy a dress for reaping, so she hadn't argued with the selection of clothing. A leather belt and shoes finished her outfit for the day.
She sighed and heard the names being listed, hoping her's wasn't called. Without her, her family would be in a terrible condition and she couldn't have that happen. Letting out her breath, Ty looked up once more as she heard the names. It wasn't her, not this year.

| Evie couldn't breathe. She stared at the crowd in front of her, dreading what she figured was the inevitable. For the past two reapings, her name had been called. Last name, her best friend's sister had saved her. The time before, someone named Misty Gold, whom she had never met. This time, there would be no one. Evie wouldn't let another person die for her if she were reaped. The Games had tainted two of her friendships and killed her cousin in one move. Never again.
It came as a great shock to Evie when her name was not called. "Marcelina..." she whispered. She recognized the name. Someone she had heard whispers about in the Others.. someone Henry had been hanging out with. She had never met the girl, though. When Chase's name was called Evie nearly cried out. She didn't want another of her friends to die, even one she didn't know quite as well. She still cared about him. She cared about everyone. Still, it hurt slightly less when Henry volunteered. She didn't know why, but assumed it was because Henry had volunteered. The back of her brain told her it was because Henry probably stood a better chance of survival, but she didn't want to listen. She didn't want to think of anyone dying. Evie tugged at the corner of her blue-tipped dress and furrowed her eyebrows. "It's not right!" she burst out, unable to contain it. A Peacekeeper elbowed her in the stomach and glared. Evie gasped, clutching her midsection, and backed away, turning and running out of the crowd before she got further punishment or had to look anyone else in the eye. Just keep running, she told herself. I've been doing a lot of that lately. She knew eventually she'd have to face anything that she ran from, but she just didn't want to deal with it now. The person she needed was Solstice, but Evie couldn't face her right now. She didn't even know where she was. So Evie just kept on running. She didn't know where she was going, but she needed to not be where she had been. She just needed to run.

| "it's always time for another storm..."
Reaping day was not something that many outside of The Capitol would call a very happy day. it was a tainted day in the history of the Kovac family. Life in District 5 had been one thing, but there was always a threat--there were always dark clouds looming overhead, and when one storm passed, another one blew in. This was what the reapings felt like anyways.
but... it was time to go through the grind. it was just as they agreed. She had been over this with Verena many times before. If one of them was chosen, the other one was not to flip out. Augustine's little scene a few years ago was still deeply branded into Marcelina's mind.
she was reminded of how much she disliked wearing a dress; her legs felt more exposed than she liked... or maybe it was just because she felt like a carbon-copy of everyone else here. bah, that was the least of her problems. first up it was praying to the RN Goddess that the odds would be in her favor. The odds were against her though, and she heard her name. welp, this was it... it was time for her to die. She had to at least give her remaining sibling a last set of comforting words. "Ver," She began, "you know the drill." Verena did not exactly look comforted,but she wasn't in a frenzy either.
“May the odds...” Marcelina began, cracking a smirk. “...make it true that when you’re mortally wounded in an excruciatingly painful way, your body goes into shock and you don’t feel anything as you die.” Verena finished, and Marcelina gave her one last hug before stepping up to the stage. her expression was utterly stony, as most tribute's expressions were.
then that one boy... Henry, she thought it was; she wasn't exactly an expert with names, went up and volunteered. well, this may not have been like 10, 11, or 12 , but still... volunteering for a death tournament was not exactly on Marcelina's bucket list. she knew he liked her... but this was the end of their relationship either way now.
"What are you doing?" she whispered, "you know that we're gonna die, right? even if one of us wins, that's still just *one* of us..." then again, she wasn't speaking very loudly, so there was a full possibility that Henry had missed the entirety of what she had said. after all, she wasn't about to try and speak over the escort. | |
