One Lucky Bug {Petunia/Ping Blitz}

Training was starting to finally become enjoyable, only to be interrupted by the hungry grumbling of my stomach. Unfortunately, this meant that I needed to put down what I was working with and retrieve some sort of nutrition for myself. It was going to be much easier to do that here than it would in the arena. Therefore, I'd certainly be taking advantage of what was available to me. There was a plethora of food available to the tributes in the dining hall, and I immediately retrieved a few things that I'd never had back in the District I called home. The first items I retrieved were something that were labeled as 'mozzarella sticks' and let me tell you, they were some of the most amazing things I've ever consumed in my life.

After getting a few more items of food onto my tray, I went to find somewhere to sit. With how empty the dining hall was, I easily could have sat alone if I wanted to. I, however, was more of a social person, and if I was going to survive in the arena, I needed to make a few 'friends' beforehand. There was a girl who I recognized as being from District Nine, her red hair making her easy to spot. She looked friendly enough, so I decided that I'd make myself acquainted with her, at least a little bit, if she'd allow it. Setting my tray down on the table and sitting in the seat across from her, I gave a friendly smile.

"Hi, I'm Ping. District Eleven. Nice to meet you," I said to the girl I'd decided to sit with.
