--Rin Emerson Female age 16 district 12--
I cross my arms after eating a plate and a half of food. For the first time feeling full. I watch the passing scenery. Most people would probably be crying. Crying cus they got picked, crying cus' they might noy get to see their families ever again. Not me, I got nothing back home. Not a family or friends. Will I fight like heck to survive? Of course. But I won't have anything to look forward to if I get home. Except a full stomach each night.

Shirin was wasting her day away on the couch, reading a random book she took off the shelf, it wasn't really her thing though. Who writes stuff like how this serial killer goes around killing people with their high heels? Crazy much. But Shirin put the horrid book down when she heard the train's door slide open and close and utensils start clattering not to long later. The woman gave the passenger a few minutes of alone time before deciding to break the silence. She poked her head from behind a door to see a girl sitting by the dining table, helping herself to the food. "Oh hi! I see you found your way to the food, always a great choice to start off," Shirin rolls her eyes, many tributes, her included, come onto the train and the first thing they do is grab a bite. Always fill up your tummy before you get grumpy. Shirin made her way to the table to sit down with the girl and clapse her hands together, smiling, "So I'm Shirin! And I'll be your mentor for the Games. Hope you're settling in just fine. Oh would you like a second helping? The muffins here are really good!" She reached over for two muffins, tossing one over to the girl, "So what's your name, young lady?" Shirin asked with lively eyes, curious over a new comer.

"It's nice to meet you." I say my voice a bit too quiet. Better then rude I guess like I usually am. "I''m Rin."
This woman didn't seem that bad really. Maybe a bit too friendly but, other then that...I start to trail off lost in my thoughts. Hopefully I didn't miss anything that she said.

Shirin nodded, taking note of her girl, "Nice to meet you too Rin." She leaned forward towards Rin, "So I take that you want to win," Shirin paused and realised what she's saying and slapped a palm onto her forehead, "What am I saying? Of course everyone wants to win. Anyways, do you have any thoughts about how you're gonna show your hand for the Capitol?" She rested her chin on her hand and glanced to the young girl, looking as if they were gossiping about something juicy. "They may be a bunch of neon paint buckets but you never know when they'll come in handy painting your road back home." She shrugged and winked before nibbling in the muffin in her hand.

I shrug. "I guess I wanna go home. I mean....the only thing I can look forward to when I get home is not having an empty stomach. I'm kind of glad it was me that got picked and not some other girl that has a family back home." I say and grab another muffin. "As far as what I'll show the capitol, I'm not entirely sure yet." I shrug and take a bite of the muffin. I eat the bite I took waiting for her to continue.

Shirin tutted disapprovingly, nudging Rin, "Hey don't say that, the district would look forward to seeing you come home! But well, sometimes, a full stomach is enough of a incentive." She then shrugged after thinking about it. To each their own, but she patted the tribute on her shoulder, "At least you know I'll be rootin' for you! So don't be so gloomy, the rain clouds are literally following us at this rate!" She leaned back into the seat, rocking it as she smoothened out her hair. Shirin then looked at the girl, a little more concern showing up in her eyes, "Then I suggest you think fast, even though we just got here. I know it's so sudden, the shock probably haven't even wave past yet. We may be the furthest district away but in a few days we'll be there. And time usually go by really quickly once we reach the Capitol. But of course, there are a couple of tributes who just winged it, and it worked just fine for them. It's your call on how you want to present yourself, and all I can convince you is that it can be important. Let's face it, we ain't the strongest of the bunch, and a little help along the way would be nice, but we still have to earn it." Shirin got up from her seat to walk around, she really couldn't sit still for too long and she admired the wine bottles at the counter on the other side. "How about game plan? No pressure though, just any bright ideas or thoughts. Just good to keep your brain rolling for a little while." Shirin wanted to know if she's though of these things yet. Giving her advice from her own experience was partially useless, every game is different and Shirin has seen them all. No game is identical, with different kinds of people every year. She can only pass on the basics, and the rest of the social game, unfortunately Rin may have to figure it out herself.

I nod at the commet about not being gloomy. As far as a game plan? I didn't have much of one.
"I don't have much of one." I admit. "Just...I've seen from past games that it's not okay to rely too much on nature?" Ya. That shouldbe right.

Shirin was about to nod and continue until she heard the reply and processed it in her head. "Oh no no no, nature is really important, it's your whole reason to still be alive by day 3! But before blindly relying on it, you'll need to understand it first. Mother Nature isn't always kind and giving for all, there's always an ugly side to balance it out; poisonous berry, plants, trees, non-potable water, you name them nature probably has them. That's just it. Of course, the gamemakers once in while love going against nature itself, but that's a little different. You'll need to peel open your eyes and ears 'cause they're always watching. Kinda creepy no? Be mindful of your actions, the Capitol will be looking at your every move." Shirin shuddered at the thought, she didn't like the fact that there was no privacy at all, that's horrible if you think about it, it's like being on a reality show without the paycheck. She turned back to Rin but continued to pace around, "Well, that's all I wanted to know, now you can ask the questions. Don't be shy! I'll answer them to the best I can." She gave a serene smile, grabbing a bottle of Jack Daniels and helping herself to a glass. She's not a heavy drinker, but it's about time she treated herself to a glass or two.

I nod. "I'm not entirely sure what questions to ask." I shrug. "I mean, I like your idea of just winging it." I say.
I take another bite of my muffin waiting for her to continue.
