Cole Haister

After hours of training Cole was ready for a break. His fingers ached from tying knots, starting fire's, fighting, learning medical skills and much more. He was sweaty from combat, his black spiky hair was now a mess. Cole's head was full of information. He had a pounding head ache. You could see the strain in Cole's green eye's. He was trying to take in as much information on his fellow tributes and the training knowledge. Alliances, friends, love, fighting, fire, hate for the capitol, family back home, sadness, determination. All these thoughts ran thought Cole's troubled mind. Cole started to make his way to the dinning area. The room was big, filled with tables and carts filled with food. So much food he could barely take it all in. Soup, bread, sandwiches, meats, greens, so much food. You'd think since Cole lived in district 11, agriculture, he would have more knowledge of the food served, but the capitol altered it so much he didnt know what half the food was. It was almost like how the capitol people looked, altered, unnatural. Cole's mouth watered. Cole picked up one of the green trays and made his way around the carts. When he had gotten the food he wanted he went to look for a table. A few people where already eating. Cole found a table and at down.

Where are they? He thought. He drummed his fingers on the soft wood of the table. Waiting for Estelle, Alkin and Theodore to come join him.

Estelle Havenporth

After my episode, I decided to go get something for Lunch. I grabbed a plate and loaded it up with some of the most luxurious and or outlandish foods you could think of: A buttermilk fried piece of giant shrimp, a waffle cone filled with tiny grains the color of peas, a small chicken and apple soup, a bagel remicent of homes bread, a piece of cake, and a bottle of mango and pineapple juice. It all looked delicious, so I just piled it onto my plate, which I slid to cole via.

"Ello Cole!" I said, setting down the tray on the table, which made a slight indent (maybe) on it. My episode was now forgotten within boundry of the chicken and apple soup. I used a spoon to eat the whole thing dry. "Wow thats good soup." I was sure I was getting looks from everywhere in the room, but I just shrugged and continued to lunch on the bounty. Sure, I may be short and thin, but I can pack down more food than some boys in my grade. You know, some of the monster types who always were hungry? Yeah, those people. My incredible eating skills were an odd balance of goodness, but I needed some nutrition before the arena, so why not take adavantage of the buttermilk shrimp? I mean, thats why its there.

I finally set down the mango and pineapple juice, the meal was perfectly satisfying. "So...." I said. "Alliance? Strategies" I asked him. "We need them. Or shall we wait until they come in?." I said, looking at him, followed by my taking a sip of my juice.

Theodore Croggstad

Seeing all the faces of potential murderers made Theodore uneasy. One of those seemingly innocent faces would be the one to hover over him as they delivered the death blow, sending him from this world to the next. Would it all go down that fast? Dying -- was it really that harsh? Remembering all the tributes in the last Games, he could only imagine what was going through their heads as they were being slaughtered. How well did they know their murderer? He figured it must have been heart-wrenching. . . .

Theodore shoved all the morbid thoughts to the back of his mind as he entered the dining hall, determined to steer clear of dark images. Picking up a tray, he silently ventured through the line, picking out bits of food that didn't seem too awkward like everything else in the Capitol. A biscuit, few slices of turkey, some gravy, something that looked like okra (though he wasn't sure if it was), and green beans. A decent amount, though he hardly believed any of it would taste like it did back home.

Turning towards the tables, his eyes scanned the crowd, spotting two familiar faces. As much as he wanted to smile at the two he knew, he had no will to do it. In a place like this, he hardly had the will for anything other than to learn as much as he could at the stations. Adjusting his grip on his tray, Theodore headed over towards Cole and Estelle, sitting down beside them.

"Hey you two."

He greeted, picking off bits of his biscuit and dipping them into the gravy before eating them.

"Hey T!" I said, sipping again. I dont know what was so fabulous about the juice, all I knew that it was good and there. I think people gave me odd looks again. "Sorry if you dont like T Theodore. Or do you perfer Theo?" I asked, cutting up another piece of shrimp (Ok the shrimp was like the size of my hand. Each.) I bit into the forkful, savoring its crunch texture. Mmm.... It was good. Now, ill stop going on about food and continue with the story.

I needed the last ingredient to the alliance (why another food reference) still, and I tapped my fingernails against the intricate clapboard table, the echoing sounds reminding me of home, when I was waiting by the apple tree.

It was a warm day, one of those spring days that dosent seem important until its over, with the sun streaking through the apple trees and leaving patterns in the shadows. I was taking a break, reading. I was seven, fairly young, actually. I paused at the book as I saw a peacekeeper come by, dressed in the uniform from head to toe. I cringed and tried to climb up the tree, my arms grasping the limbs quickly and pulling myself up by its branches. Mockingjays cried, and all of a sudden, I was in the tree, safe, picking apples. But then, the book fell to the ground. A peacekeeper turned around and gave me a cold, hard, stare. "Come down! NOW!" He yelled, so I jumped down from the tree. He took me to the whipping post, and scars came a year or so later. It was sad, but true, and I wasnt sure if they'd go away. They didnt, so I was stuck with a scarred back.

Another memory came, this one, pleasant. It was in the fields one night, with the willows bordering where some people worked all day, so they could eat their lunch in the shade. One of my friends, Irisa and all the children from my little village were playing tag in the fields, fireflies circled us. We caught them in jars, using them as lanterns to carry around in the night. One of the most pleasant memories had been that night. We stayed out late, and when I got back, I had wonderful dreams.

Not that the games was going to help. Dreams turned to nightmares. For all I know, there could be killer fireflies.

Cole Haister

Cole sat, deep in thought about todays events. Training, more training and wouldn't you guess more training. Cole drummed his hands on the table as he thought. He quickly ran his hand thought his hair. Cole looked around and then set to work on his plate filled with food. First there was a nice piece of stake, it was juicy and delightful. Cole had never had food this good. Then he dug into the potato's and gravy, another delight. Cole was so wrapped up in how good the food tasted he didn't notice Estelle and Theodor had sat down to join him. Cole looked up, his face lit up. This was a first since he had gotten to the capitol. "Hey Estelle and Theodore." Cole said.

Estelle seemed to be enjoying the food. Good for her, she should enjoy things while she has the chance. Cole thought. Theodor had just sat down. "You enjoying the shrimp Estelle?" Cole asked with a small smile on his face. Then he realized he hadn't really introduced himself to Theodore yet. Cole stuck his hand out. "I'm Cole." He said and gave a smile and extend his hand. He would hopped Alkin would get here soon so the whole group would be here.
