Agility 101

Subject: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:00 pm

I walk into the Agility Course to see what it's all about. The trainer there explains that it is an obstacle course designed to improve the agility of tributes. It starts with jumping from platform to platform, and then a set of monkey bars to go across. It has several other sections. I decide to try and do them all in one go.

I hop onto the first platform, and then the second one. I grin, this would be fun to try.

As soon as we had finished with instructions, I walked over to the Agility Course. It was the place where we'd go through Obstacle Courses and test our speed and stamina. I smiled. This was all I ever did besides practice archery and throwing handmade knives in D11. Not like I did it during the day. I had to at night, as we were usually working or at school during the day.

I ran up to the platforms. I looked to see a boy from District 2 at the same station. Great.

I walk around, looking for the other people from the career districts. Then I see a suit that has the number two on it. "Hey Two." I say as I see him hopping. "I'm Hunter Smith. District 4."

I hop up to the top platform after someone calls my district number, the four kid. I turn to look down at him. "Sup?" I ask him, awaiting his request, which was obviously going to be a proposal to form a career pack.

Silver had come in with Flint. He had gone straight for the Agiliy Course. She on the other hand took her time and then went over there. She climbed up and jumped from platform to platform. It was really easy. Or maybe that was because she was lightweight and agile. She reached the monkey bars and swung across them. They were really fun. So was the whole course. So when she has finished Silver went back to try it again. Only this time she stopped where Flint was. She wanted to see what the four guy had to say.

I smiled. Look another two." I said, looking at the district 2 girl. "I think you both already know what I want. The alliance. Also known as, the career pack." I push my hair back a bit. "You in?"

I looked back at the Career Pack forming. I shivered and analyzed both of them. Both strong, tall, muscular, could easily kill me. Well, not if I got my hand on some knives or a bow. I would be strong then. I blinked my eyes and jumped up on the monkey bars, climbing across. I swung down, and repeated the agility course again, dodging the Trainers' hits. The second time I reached the monkey bars, I swung my legs up, hanging upside down, before lowering myself. I looked over at the Careers. They probably thought I was worthless.

I grin, predictable call. I jump onto the bars and slide down the pole to the floor, and walk up to him. "Allies then, Hunter?" I ask, smirking. I turn to my district partner for a second, and then back to Hunter. "I can't speak for her, but I'm Flint" I say, and so, just like that, the Career pack had started.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:43 pm

"Sounds good Flint." I look around the room. "There's a few people that aren't in the career districts that I think we should add." I say. I point to a few people around the room. "You okay with that?"

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:47 pm

I nod in agreement. "Yeah, the One tributes are twins or something, too many liabilities there" I say, "Lets leave them out and get the good stuff from the others" I say, adding to the recruitment strategy. I move on to skills, "What are you good at?"

I perked up at the sound of that, but then shook my head. They'd never want me on their team. I should leave now. But they seemed to not notice me. Besides, I hadn't been running in a while. I'd need all the practice. Besides, I was learning all their tactics. So District 1 was out.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:49 pm

Silver merely nodded in agreement to the alliance. She would let the boys talk about adding people. She didn't really care. Silver would probably be the one to keep the peace. She'd also probably have to play nurse. Allthe guys would be focused on weapons and wouldn't learn any medical or survival things. Hopefully another girl would join. That way Silver might not be alone.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:55 pm

I grin. "I'm good at knives." I lied. I was okay with knives. I was good with tridents. I was amazing with spears. "And I can catch a meal of seafood if I want to." so we'll have food no matter what in that arena."

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:58 pm

I laugh, he was keeping secrets, and boasting of something that may not be available. "Unless there are no fish in the water" I add helpfully. I look towards the Melee section. "I'm good with swords, and speed" I say.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:01 pm

"I'm good with knives." Silver offered. "Actually I never miss." No doubt she was better at knives then Hunter. He was probably just boasting. Silver never really saw the point of boasting. You were basically just lying and being annoying. "I'm also good with speed and agility." she added.

I began to walk away, towards the snare section. But I lingered, just slightly, to hear them speak. I felt like they were all lying. They didn't matter to me. I'd probably survive alone, or team up with the lesser Districts. Not the Careers.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:06 pm

I glanced over at the girl sneaking off, "Hey District 11!" I shouted, alerting everyone of where she and I were. I didn't wait for her to turn around. "Ever heard of being polite, and not just eavesdropping and then running to another station?" I say it loud to make sure everyone is aware of her. Embarrassment was a powerful tool.

I turned around at the District 2 boy, glaring deeply. "Ever heard of being polite, and acknowledging someone?" I said, in a lower voice, but a darker tone. He thinks he can finally acknowledge me when I'm leaving. "I didn't care about what you were saying anyways. Just trying to get some training in," I said, crossing my arms.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:14 pm

I grin smugly. "I just did acknowledge you, in case you did not notice" I say, my tone neutral, indifferent. I also reply to her remark. "Oh, I'm sure you aren't interested in what your fellow tributes can do"

"Nice way of acknowledgement," I said, narrowing my eyes. "And I'm sure you aren't interested in what I can do either." I did not like this guy. What was his name? Flint. No, not one bit. I really didn't care what the hell they were saying. It couldn't matter anything to me.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:18 pm

I laugh. "Eleven girlie! You think we have some wittle fear of you?" I say with fire in my eyes. "Secrets only hurt people. And our last intention is to hurt people." I laugh really hard then.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:21 pm

Silver rolled her eyes at the fight. They were so immature. Silver just stood and listened. She was pretty bored. Maybe she would go tie knots or something anything other than this. "You do realise you can't physically hurt her right?" she drawled.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:22 pm

I grin and lean against part of the agility course, crossing my arms. "You haven't asked me if I care or not" I say, using the same amiable tone I'd ended up using around my mentor. Some things were taught without knowing it, I guessed. I turn to Silver, "Not yet, that is" I say to her remark.

I rolled my eyes at the District 4 boy. "Stop being cocky and maybe you'll learn something," I said. "I'd like to see you try, District 2," I said, to the boy.

Subject: Re: Agility 101 Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:26 pm

Silver smirked. "Just checking." she said before jumping away to another platform. Pretty soon she was back on the ground. Silver needed to learn some things to increase her survival rate in he arena. And standing around listening to a fight would not help her at all. So Silver walked off to another station. She would probably hear more about the fight at lunch anyway.
