Anti-Career Truce

I sit down and don't even bother eating. I handed out leaflets to everyone who wasn't a career to join an Anti-Career truce. I just hoped it worked. We wouldnt be together right from the start and we most definitely wouldn't be hiding in the group, unlike the careers. We just wouldnt be killing each other until the Careers are dead. I just hope that people joined.

I stepped into the Lunch Room quietly but sure-footedly. Casually, I walked over to the trays and began gathering a light meal. I couldn't eat too much of this food or my stomach would reject eat, so half of my plate was empty by the time I got through the line. I glanced around, looking for my district partner, but instead my eyes caught a crumpled paper on the ground a few feet away. Balancing my plate in one hand, I picked up the note, unfolded it, and read most of it. It was mostly about some anti-career truce put on by the girl from district three, but it seemed interesting enough to try.

I found the girl without much trouble. She was older than me, sitting alone, so I assumed no one had even considered her offer. Now, I sit down across the table from her without hurry. "So, are you the one at the head of this 'truce'" I ask her

I walk into the Lunch room and see Thaila sitting at a table with a girl. I almost crack a smile, but it wasn't too exciting to me. I walk over and say, "Hey Thaila, who's your friend?", I smile at her.. it wasn't a real smile though, it was just my way of saying hi to people I don't know.

"Hey Tripp, this is Kera, the girl from 10. She was considering joining the Anti-Career Truce. We could make it so we stick together throughout the Games if that makes you feel better. I'm very open to suggestions on how to make the group better."

"Well, hi, I guess.." I say quietly and bummed, how many more days until we all have to kill each other? 2 or 3? "Well, if we do, we need to maybe plan guard duties at night.." I say with a calmer look on my face than before. I felt like I could trust both of them, "If we did go directly for the careers, won't we be outnumbered?" I say questioning Thaila's plans "I mean, they have Triton, Anders, Astrid, and Sav. They might even have the 7 boy who is probably just being Astrid's fake love so she can stab him in the heart, literally."

"Well, it would be best if we met up and the Cornucopia. Like you said at training, we want to act like the careers.. they need to love us more.." I whisper to her, watching the carers out of the corner of my eye. "I could take 1st watch.. its best to have the young one to die so you 2 can live your lives and all." I say like I'd be the third wheel of us.

I start to get agitated with Thaila and say, "Do you really think I'm here to win, I'm here to die. Unlike everyone else, I don't have a reason to be back home.." I put my head down on the table.. "What's the point of going back home to a family that isn't truly mine. I'd rather be up in heaven with my family.. my biological family." I say and start to sniffle.

Tripp Mattet

I keep head down.. still upset.. I had all these plans for the alliance.. all she cares about right now is me thinking I'll die. I slowly pick up my head and say "Okay, so here is the plan. You and Kera go off with as much gear as you can.. I'll catch up with some gear after. I know the careers will be there.. but it won't be fun without a challenge". I felt very confident saying that..

I can hear him getting more confident. "We can help, but yes. We do need a lot of gear. Swords, bows, knives and loads of food. Plus water bottles, anything to help purify water and rope will help as well. I hope to grab a rucksack and weapon though. That is what I feel would help most." I say. A rucksack would help and I don't see how I can win without a weapon.[/color]

I smile and say, "Its settled then, I'll stick around with the careers and sneak out when they aren't looking?" I say happily and smile "And don't tell me no, because I'll do it anyways."

I actually like that plan. He is short and he is artistic. He will be able to sneak around quite easily. "OK, I believe that they won't spot you. Just keep close contact with us on what they are doing and what they have." I say. "Lets just wait now for any other tributes. I have a feeling that others will want to join. Otherwise, they have two good groups going up against them."[/color]

I smile at the boy and say "Yea, you just need to commit to the group and all that good stuff." I say smiling

I give a slight smile to the kid that suddenly shows up, recognizing him from the melee station. "You're not really willing to join these guys, right? They're probably on a whole new level of insane" I say jokingly, in stark contrast from the serious tone I was using earlier, before sliding over to give him room to sit. If he's joining, I may as well take another moment to think about it.

Tripp Mattet

"Bro, all you need to do is say you'll join and everyone will meet up after the bloodbath, besides me of course.. I'll be at the Cornucopia getting extras and all that good stuff. I say smiling.. proud to be me.
