| Velvet was filing her nails when she realized her tributes had walked in. The male tribute, who Velvet was pretty sure was named something starting with an A, looked at first like a strong young man who might actually make a good tribute, but then Velvet's brain reminded her that this was District 1. Perfection itself was considered painfully average. "Yikers," she said with wide eyes, glancing critically at the boy. "Well, I take it you're strong, but the first thing you've got to learn is not to take strong for granted. Plenty of tributes are strong. The majority of the ones from our lovely district are plenty strong, in fact. So don't get cocky, and don't assume that 'strong' is going to keep you alive." She crossed her arms. "What's your name again? Abraham? Abyss? Abbey? No, that's generally a girl's name nowadays... or something to do with monks, way back when... Abe? Abel?" Velvet squinted and tilted her head. "That sounds vaguely familiar, familiar enough to have been announced by an escort once recently, at least. Abel, is it?"

| Velvet smiled, in spite of herself. "Good. But don't rely on the probability of your own victory as a way to win, or you won't do any actual work, and you'll die faster than I can say 'I told you so.'" She raised an eyebrow and leaned forward. "I was in the Games a long time ago. They were a very early games, and were a big portion of my life. Sometimes it feels like we should have had a reunion, all the tributes from my games, and then I remember: they're all dead. I assume you've come to terms with death, or at least can ignore it, or let the bloodlust out when it comes time to kill someone so your conscience doesn't have to deal with it, or whatever, but believe it or not, the games aren't all about killing people." She scooted back again, relaxing against her seat. "They're about keeping yourself alive, and keeping the gamemakers happy. Give them what they want, and they won't want to kill you off. Simple as that." She looked sideways at Abel. "Abel Rhine, hm? Like a rhinoceros? There was a mutt of one of those in my games, I believe. At least, I think it was a rhino. Never seen one in person." She laughed. "Right, back to tips. What can I teach you? Well, obviously we're not going to spend hours going over everything you've already learn, so if you already know something, just learn it again, because now you know which of the things you've learned are important. Tip #1: Don't fall in love. It gets messy, there's sacrifice, guilt, ugh. No love for you, mister. Not that there's no flashing your muscles and handsome smile at anyone. It's fine if people love you. Just make sure not to love them back. Tip #2: Don't get cocky. Somehow I forsee problems with this one, but we'll make it through, eh? Maybe. Tip #3: Try to plan ahead, but expect the unexpected. Don't let anything catch you off guard. A surprise could be your demise. Easy enough to remember, right? It rhymes." Velvet uncrossed her legs, stood up and grabbed a glass of champagne and a pastry from the table nearby. She closed her eyes, tipped her head back, and poured the whole thing down her throat, finishing it off with a swallow and a bite of pastry. "Mm. Quality food they have here. We get pretty good stuff down in District 1, of course, but not compared to what they serve in the Capitol, of course."

| I strolled into the train room, my dark hair swept up into a ponytail. "Sorry I'm late," I grinned sheepishly, "there was a bit of a holdup back there." As I moved closer to the two others, my mentor and district partner, I raised my eyebrows jokingly. "If you asked me, she was asking for it." I sat down with a serious look on my face. "So, Abel... Long time: no see. You're what..." I looked him up and down and put my right hand level in the air with his head. "seventeen or eighteen now?" I turned to Violet with awe and wonder in my eyes. "They say you should never meet your hero, but here you are. Hi, my name is Amethyst Jayne. Call me Amy." | |

| Okie dokie...
I strolled into the train room, my dark hair swept up into a ponytail. "I hope I'm not late," I grinned sheepishly, "there was a bit of a holdup back there." As I moved throgh the exquite room, closer to my mentor, I raised my eyebrows jokingly. "If you asked me, she was asking for it." I sat down on a velvet chair with a with awe and wonder in my eyes. "Well, well, They say you should never meet your hero, but here you are. Hi, my name is Amethyst Jayne." I smiled figuring that Zan would kill to meet Violet. No pun intended. "Call me Amy." | |

| Velvet raised an eyebrow as the female tribute made her excuses and stepped onto the train. She shrugged. It was better than the male tribute, who had skulked off into a train cabin, apparently thinking himself too good for mentoring. Velvet rolled her eyes. Rich people. She knew that kid, or at least, his father. Cain Luxe was the son of Mr. Avarillo Luxe, one of the wealthiest men in District One. "Well, I guess it's just you and me then, huh? And between the two of us- a little practice can't hurt. Just don't get bored of that before we even reach the Capitol." When Amy introduced herself, Velvet smiled. "Velvet La Roux. Please to make your acquaintance. But trust me, I'm not a good personal hero. You're better off with a role model for that. Heroes always disappoint. Although, if it helps you listen to me, I'm not complaining." She glanced at the girl, sizing her up. "Well, you've got some muscle, at least, but don't rely on physical strength. Anyone can be born strong. Skill is far more important." Velvet paused. "Speaking of skills, what are you actually good at? And possibly more pertinent, what do you suck at?"

| I nodded and grinned with delight as I leaned forward in my plush red velvet seat, eager to begin. "Well, I guess I'm good with knives, healing and camouflage, but I'm rubbish at hand to hand combat and starting fires." I rubbed my neck with my right hand."I also figured you could give me some tips on impressing sponsors and winning over the game makers." I nearly kicked myself with embarrassment. Of course she could. She was a victor after all! I sat quietly while she spoke, my cheeks blushing. | |
