As the first day breaks on the training center, you awaken in your four poster bed, the linens and bed itself being the finest thing that you have ever seen. Before long, your mentor comes and gathers you to breakfast. For breakfast, you are only sitting with the fellow tribute from your district, your mentor, and your district representative. Breakfast is a grand affair, with honeyed biscuits, ham and things you can't even identify. For the first time in your life, you are allowed to eat your fill. You have enough time to attend at least three stations. Your mentor reminds you that should come discuss your strategy for dinner. You know that you'll be eating with all of the tributes this afternoon at lunch... Then you are led to a large room that contains several stations. On the fair wall, a long table holds several men and women wearing expensive robes with the symbol of the Hunger Games emblazoned upon them. These must be the Game makers who will be rating you at the end of the week. As you move into the Training Center, you walk by these training stations: - Animal Identification
- Archery
- Axes
- Boxing
- Blowguns
- Camouflague
- Chakram
- Climbing: The climbing station features a rock wall, a rope climbing excercise and a tree saddle where you practice scurrying up trees
- Edible Insects
- Edible Plants & Medicinal Plants
- First Aid
- Fire - making
- Hand - to - hand combat
- Knots
- Shelters
- Slingshots
- Spears
- Swimming (complete with an indoor pool)
- Sword Training
- Stealth
- Throwing weapons (thowing axes and knives)
- Tracking
- Tridents
- Weight lifing
In addition to these training stations, you spot three obstacle courses set up in the far end of the room. - One appears to be a vertical challenge of jumping high distances and climbing irregular rocks while infrequent weather changes such as gusts of wind or buckets of hail rain down.
- Another appears to be a large wooden block under water, marked with six designs on interlocking wooden blocks.
- The third is a Tree Course: The last tree course appears to stretch between six tall trees, spaced about nine - twelve feet apart. Each tree has some attachment - a rope, a perch, likely meant to propel one to the other tree.

Thankfully, Tank isn't a talker, because Rory isn't up for much conversation. She knows there's a buzz about her. People are already talking about the girl from District 7 who volunteered. Most couldn't recall the last time someone from district 7 volunteered, that's what her designer had told her. Rory is at a loss as well trying to recall one such person. The Careers have people like that all of the time. However they are looking for fame, Rory just wants her freedom.
Rory goes over her skills as she looks at down the line of training stations, her eyes are already fixed on helpful stations, Edible Plants & Medicinal Plants and Fire Making. She was going for those later. But first...
She stops at the Tree Course station and waits, a grin settling in. She is the little tree squirrel. Maybe she could stay off the ground and wait until they came for her.

"Strong..." Tank muttered to himself, eying the various training facilities until he caught sight of the weights at the end of the room.Slowly Tank walked over to the far wall, the gears in his head turning as he studied the weights trying to determine which to start with first. Tank was good at lifting stuff. Good enough to get allies?

Use two of the stations to get better at something he wasn't quite skilled with. The third, if Jace had time, would be to get better at something he was already capable of.
Because even if this was the 'training center', they were always watching. They were always there.
He steps into the room in the training garb, the bright '9' on the side of it making him feel like and animal. There was no name. Just a District designation, and the feeling that he was being watched. Wiry strength that was easily hidden beneath dressy clothes was now there for others to see.
A look around and he figured he could stand to get a bit better at throwing a weapon. Learn to throw a knife....
...Put on a good show, and maybe he'd get out of this alive.
First: Learn to throw a knife.
Second: Learn to better defend himself. . Third: How off how quiet and downright stealthy he could be, and figure out how to make that his greatest strength in the arena. That thing that 'popped' to the sponsors.
Because by God...he'd need them.
With that thought he headed to the thrown knife area and waited.

There was plenty to do inside the training center, but Lallek had a fairly clear plan as to what he needed to train for. The other tributes would go to stations and mingle, but he planned on being less social. Nettle had said not to look too weak or too strong. Lallek's solution was to go to the hand-to-hand station. He had no talent for fighting and it would make him look vulnerable, then he could visit the knife throwing station and show off just a bit.
His eyes dance to the other tributes for just a moment. Soon they would be fighting to the death. Trying to kill each other for the entertainment value. It wasn't a pleasant thought, but that was the way things were.

Femra walked in looking as confident as ever. Already knowing what she wanted to do, she wasted know time before going to the "First-Aid" Station. After that there was Edible Plants & Medicinal Plants, Animal Identification, Swimming, and Shelter.
As she walked towards the 1st station, she noticed the tribute from 7. The girl that volunteered.
"She might be a good ally" Femra thought to herself..
Femra then decided that she will wait until later to form alliances... She needs to practice if she wants to win the Games.

He knows he doesn't make a good impression here, wide eyed and shivering as he stares around the room. He knows he doesn't look very impressive, but that's the point isn't it? To win this he needs to be everything he's not.
He'll try, he has to. He just was never expecting to end up here.
Maybe he can just hide and this will all go away. Maybe he can just wait them out until they all kill each other. Maybe.
He should at least try to figure out how to use a weapon other than just wire cutters. He should probably figure out a lot of things.
Still, at barely five feet tall, long hair, too pale, too thin, he looks more like a thirteen year old girl than a seventeen year old boy. Another thing that will cost him sponsors.

Rory"The object of this obstacle course is to navigate between these six trees without touching the ground," Nate, the instructor for this course, states. "Each tree has an aid to represent what you may find in the arena - vines, for example." He approaches the first tree and gestures for Rory to join him. "We will practice the ascent on this first tree." He takes three long strides from the tree, crouching. Nate then ran forward, placing a foot at the base of the tree and jumping. His hand gripped the rod that intersected the tree horizontally five feet above the ground. He fluidly pushed himself upwards using the rod, then placed a heel on top of the rod. Using the leverage, he launched himself into the crook of the tree. He lowers himself back down to the rod and hops down to the ground. "This will help you practice mounting without a rope or tree seat." He explains. "Many trees won't have this pole," He grips it. "- but you could hammer a grip within or even throw a knife into the trunk of a tree for a moment's foothold. Here," He gestures for Rory to come where he stood, a few feet from the tree. "- why don't you try it? Run forward, jump - grip the pole and keep your forward momentum." [roll Athletics (+1 for her specialty) + Dexterity here sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller ] To Tank"Hello," Greene, the weight lifter trainer, approaches Tank. "I see that you're interested in this station. How about we try a lifting excercise to see where you are right now." He points to three various medicine balls. "How about you try lifting this ball and carrying it five feet forward and placing it in that basket." He points to a basket four feet off of the ground. It would be a test of lifting and carrying the weight... [roll Strength + Athletics here sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller ] To Jace:"Hello," A trim young female approached Jace, introducing herself as Christie. "Lets talk about these knives. This is what you can find in the cornucopia or from a benevolent sponsor." She gestures to ten throwing knives laid within a rolling satchel. "These knives in these first three slots are lighter weight, good for a closer target. These farther ones have more weight..." She plucks three different knives from the satchel, letting Jace handle each one. "You hold the knife like this," She demonstrates with one of the lighter knives. "- and watch how I follow through with my arm." She turns and throws at a target twenty feet away, striking the bulls eye. " Christie gestures to the target. "Go ahead and try with these nine knives. We'll talk about how you do after that." [roll Dexterity + Athletics here sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller ] To Lallek:"All right," The dark haired, tall instructor stepped forward. "My name is Holden. Every one please follow me."You found yourself led by Holden over to a row of five suspended training forms shaped like men. "Now, this is all about getting the best of your opponent," Holden states. "- I advise a quick maneuver to catch your opponent off guard; then to try a throw that I'll be teaching you one on one. Remember that you are not to touch one another right now. I want you three to focus on delivering fast, hard punches to your dummies while I work with you one on one."He directs the other two male tributes at the station to practice the 'quick manuever' to distract thier opponent. He leads you to a mat and begins to describe how to perform a hip toss. "This is the first thing that we'll learn." He states. You are shown where to place your hands on him and how to throw your body weight and control his body to the ground. After a few moments, you learn how to perform a hip toss. "Lets work on a complete attack." Holden advised. "Strike me and then take me to the ground." [Brawl + Strength] To Femra: It appeared that Femra was the the first arrival. They were handed two small medical kits containing sterile cloth 3 inches by inches, a roll of self sticking medical tape, long bandages and cleansing wipes.

The cut is three inches long and bleeding freely." She uses her finger to trace a cut that length on her left fore arm. "If you had this kit; what is the first thing you should do?" [You can make an Intelligence + Medicine roll] To LuciAs Luci evaluates the training room, he notices people drifting to the tree obstacle course, the weight lifting, hand to hand and first aid stations.

Not to the tree course, that he knows far better than any of these and he doesn't want to show off just yet. Too dangerous. Archery looks good, but he's not strong enough to draw those bows. Weightlifting. He'll look silly, but maybe he can build up enough strength to at least be able to hold his own against some of the girls. That's worth something isn't it.
Course decided for the moment, he heads over to where the weights are. This... well, it wasn't going to be impressive, that was for sure.

As Luci approaches the weightlifting station, he sees another tall tribute being given instruction. "Hello," Luci is greeted. "I was just telling Tank to see where we are as far as strength." He gestures to three different sized medicine balls. "How about you try lifting this ball and carrying it five feet forward and placing it in that basket." He points to a basket four feet off of the ground. It would be a test of lifting and carrying the weight... [roll Strength + Athletics here sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller ]

Rory: District 7 Female Tribute
Rory's gaze is focused on Nate. She is a tree squirrel but she isn't one to think she has this course in the bag. Besides, there's a part of her that's slightly terrified she'll do well. A high score would single her out to the career tributes. As if she isn't between their crosshairs already.
The grip is five feet off the ground. Just two inches below her height. She had made jumps like this at home however, it not always. And when she didn't make it... well that's how she got the two faint scars on her face.
Rory jogs forward and nods once more telling Nate she's ready before the tree squirrel from district 7 launches herself forward.

Yep, this ended just like he thought it would. With him struggling and failing to lift the ball she handed him. Not his day. Then again, that was why he was doing this wasn't it? What was the point of doing something he knew how to do. Better to be well rounded. Better to at least try to live. Roll

ST to Rory: District 7 Female Tribute
Rory grasps the pole and vaults herself forward, using the pole as a toe hold to hop into the crook of the tree. "Good." Nate approves, gesturing for her to come back down. "You did very well." He nods. "Remember to keep your momentum up and you can continue to climb upwards. The larger tributes -especially if they are wearing heavy armor- won't be able to follow. Follow me to this next tree."
He guides Rory to the next tree, where a vine drapes down. This appears to be a jungle type tree, foreign from the deciduous trees that Rory has seen in her district. It has smooth bark and a slightly curved trunk as the tree goes up to some spiky palm fronds.
"On this tree, you want to test if the vine can support your weight. Once you climb up, you need to keep your balance. This tree won't have a natural resting place like most trees with branches. In the arena, you can cut the vine and use it for a tie - down or other use."
Nate reaches into his vest and removes a small holster that fits around Rory's thiegh. It contains a small straight blade. "Go ahead and take this up there. Feel free to cut the vine free and imagine what you could use it for in the arena."
[Strength + Athletics (climbing the vine)]
"You are picking it up..." The trainer encourages Luci. "I suggest a daily strength training course. Here," He gestures for Luci to follow to a bench where a series of free weights were lined up. "Find the heaviest one that you can lift and do this curl." He lifts one of the weights and demonstrates the excercise. "Do this twenty times, each arm. Then we'll work on your chest muscles."

Rory: District 7 Female Tribute
Rory knows better than to look pleased with herself. She's not. She did well at something she is skilled at. Big deal. However she commits what Nate tell her to memory. The bigger tributes in full armor wouldn't be able to catch her if she got up a tree fast enough.
She hops down with ease and follows her trainer to the next tree. Rory stops herself at marveling at the exotic tree. If she wasn't a tribute, Rory could see herself enjoying this.
However she's not as skilled with this type of climbing. So she takes a deep breath and grabs the vine to start her ascent.

"Slower." Nate observes from the ground. "You might want to practice your vine climbing skills here. They require a different set of skills that you may not have used before. Come on down."
He waits for Rory to descend and leads her to the third tree. This tree appears to be an oak with higher branches, the first three feet above Rory's head. "This is a flipline." He shows Rory a different kind of rope that seems resistant to fraying. "You can use this to climb more difficult trees. First, you want to make a sort of saddle. For now, we'll use this." He reaches to a small pile of gear and helps Rory step into a tree saddle that encircles her hips and thighs. "You use the flipline like this to secure yourself to the tree," He hurls it upwards around a branch and brings it back down, showing Rory how to thread it through her saddle and grip it tight. " Then you keep this held behind your back at all times." He guides her hand holding the line behind her back. "If you start to fall, clench your fist and it will control your descent. Use your other hand to pull upon the rope and your feet to walk up the tree. Go ahead and climb up." Nate encourages.

Rory: District 7 Female Tribute
Her arms are beginning to ache. Nate's right. That isn't something she has experience with. Rory makes a note. She'll need to work on her upper body strength here too. She is fast, agile but not remotely strong. She logs that under weaknesses. Rory's sure that won't be the last one she logs today.
The flipline is something that she's familiar with. The lumberjacks her father supervises use a similar system. Mostly improved and Rory notices that this rig is better. Way better. Still no elation shows in her expression. Just determination.

"Hi..." Tank listened to the instructions of the trainer and nodded in understanding. Ball to basket. He was more using to hefting crates and timber, but this wasn't much different. Gripping the handle of the first medicine ball he pulled upwards...
Tank rolled 5 dice to "Lifting Weights" 5,3,4,2,7 (0 successes)
...and the sweat on his palms caused him to completely lose his grip, the ball hitting back onto the floor with a thud. As Tank brushed them off onto his training clothes, Tank was sure he heard someone laughing behind him and his face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
Tank rolled 5 dice to "Lifting Weights Again" 9,8,10,6,4,5 (3 successes)
Tank picked up the second ball with little to no effort and hurled it in the direction the mocking snigger had come from, narrowly missing the tribute responsible as he glared over with a furious rage in his eyes.

ST to Rory, District 7 femaleRory ascends easily up the tree, pausing when she reaches a branch about twenty feet from the center floor and the end of the flipline. She masters how to let out the slack in the flipline to control a slow descent. As she descends down to the floor in a manner of seconds, she finds Nate smiling. "You definitely want to get your hands on some flip line in the arena. You're a natural." He assists Rory in getting out of the saddle, dropping it down to the gear. "Let me show you the last two trees." He states, leading you to a tree four feet away. This one is covered with some slick, moist moss that makes grasping it difficult. "You can use pitons and a hammer to make handholds." He explains, but he doesn't slow. It doesn't look like a demonstration is likely to come on this one. The last tree is an oak with nice, low hanging branches. You see that something wispy and white trails between some of the branches. "Simulated spider web." He explained. "Keep that knife that I loaned you for it. Fire also works nicely. " He turns so that Rory can see the whole line of trees. "This line of trees is part of an obstacle course. Start at the first tree and work your way back towards me. If you're feeling brave, you can attempt to stay off of the ground with this." He offers Rory a length of flipline and a grappling hook attachment. "It works for swinging between the trees, but you can descend to the ground if you're more comfortable. Do you have any questions? [Make 4 rolls of Dex + Athletics and one Strength + Athletics to make a run through the tree obstacle course. If you have any questions, shoot them to me in the ooc ] ST to Tank, District 7 maleTank quickly discovers that the trainer steps in and gathers the rolling medicine ball. The district 1 male tribute, Silver, is angrily approaching Tank. Silver stands at 5' 10, with broad, muscular shoulders. Any one who had watched the Reaping videos know that he's sixteen and that he grinned with a cocky self assurance at the Reaping. Luci is likely the first one to notice an imminient fight; yet four Peace Keepers immediately block the space between Silver and Tank. Two of them grab Silver by the elbows and frog walk him back to the sword training station. They remain behind him; watching to ensure he didn't have any ideas of picking up where he left off. "Watch that ball." One of the Peace Keepers barks at Tank, cold and impersonal. The Two Peace Keepers remain by the weight training station, watching the behavior of the tributes there. "Easy does it," The instructor cautions Tank, approaching him. "- come try this." He guides Tank to a tall column of metal with six round platforms, each slightly smaller in diameter as they go up. The instructor indicated six various sized weighted balls in a box. "Arrange them from lightest to heaviest." He directed Tank. Tank would soon realize that this excercise worked his whole body as he carried the ball at at least waist level and had to arrange the balls, some several times as he found a heavier ball.

Jace Colton
He'd never been much of a talker, which meant he was more of a listener. It served him well back home, where he let his brother do the talking and he just took in their surroundings. Listened to people talk and often they were shocked at how perceptive he was. At the things he remembered.
Because often, they forgot he was even there. [Presence 1]
So the knife lesson is listen to. When Christie shows him how to properly hold the lighter knife he mimics her actions, watching even the intricacy of how she holds her fingers. At the 'follow through' which wasn't an odd concept to him
When you were threshing grain, it was important to follow through with the scythe. Obviously this wasn't too horribly different.
She throws and he watches the knife it the target. Blinks and then picks up one of the others. Likely he holds it too long in his hand, measuring the weight of it, but in the end it served him well to do so.
His own first attempt is either beginner's luck, or he was just a natural talent.
2012-04-03 13:57:37 Jace Colton rolled 4 dice to "Throwing Knives (Dexterity 2 + Athletics 2)" 2,10,10,3,5,9 (3 successes)
Once again, Jace blinks. Swallows and then looks around. Something to be said for being a good listener, he supposed, and he picked up another and hit again. Not as good as the first but...he still hit.
2012-04-03 14:04:26 Jace Colton rolled 4 dice to "Throwing Knives (Dexterity 2 + Athletics 2)" 7,10,2,5,7 (1 successes)
2012-04-03 14:23:49 Jace Colton rolled 4 dice to "Throwing Knives (Dexterity 2 + Athletics 2)" 6,10,8,7,3 (2 successes)
2012-04-03 14:25:17 Jace Colton rolled 4 dice to "Throwing Knives (Dexterity 2 + Athletics 2)" 7,8,7,1 (1 successes)
HE should be happy he's doing so well, but in the end, he's not. What did it say about a person, that they picked up being a killer so very, very easily?

Rory: District 7 Female Tribute
Her forehead begins to feel moist, slick with sweat. Climbing the tree had been easy. She files that under strength, nodding to Nate's suggestion. She notices his proud smile, finding it odd that a trainer would grin at all. Most of the children he trains dies. Why would he be remotely proud of her accomplishments?
Rory straps the knife to her thigh. She wouldn't be able to get to the knife fast enough if it is on her ankle. And she isn't planning on dying because her knife isn't within reach.
She accepts the flipline and the grappling hook. She doesn't want to show off by staying off the ground completely, however Rory needed to know she could do this before the games. She is a tree climber. She could use them as a perch to scout the arena, and possibly see an ambush coming a mile away.
“Thank you,” she says to the instructor before walking up to the first tree. Rory takes a deep and begins her ascent.
{Rory uses Use 5 Dice to Run through the tree obstacle course; 7,4,7,1,1 (0 successes) }
She fails, sliding back to down, signs of fatigue starting to show. Good, she thinks. That will keep the careers off her back. At least at the start.
{Rory uses Use 5 Dice to Run through the tree obstacle course; 8,1,6,2,5 (1 successes)}
Rory’s second attempt goes better but just barely. She catches her breath at the top of the perch. Alright, now for the hard part.
{Rory uses Use 5 Dice to Run through the tree obstacle course; 8,10,10,9,2,7,10,4 (5 successes)}
Her stomach flutters as she swings to the second tree. Enjoying the rush of cool air on her face. Her legs hook around a branch high off the ground and with a snap and jerk Rory pulls on the rope that attaches to the grappling hook until it’s in her hands.
She pauses for a moment and maps out her second swing.
{Rory uses Use 5 Dice to Run through the tree obstacle course; 2,8,5,1,1 (1 successes) }
Again a near miss. Okay. Now for the hardest part. Rory takes a moment to focus her thoughts.
[{Rory uses Use 5 Dice to Run through the tree obstacle course; 7,10,9,9,5,8 (4 successes)}
Rory slices through the web. She did it. She actually did it. A look of amazement is etched into her features. Rory swings back to the instructor, looking up at him waiting for his input.

As the trainer gathered the rolling medicine ball, Tank noticed another tribute storming angrily towards him. He was younger and smaller than Tank, and the large male was not intimidated, returning the angry look with one of his own. Silver shouldn't have laughed at him.
Whatever conflict was stirring between them was thwarted by the Peace Keepers, as the instructor hastily led Tank to the next exercise. Pretty soon Tank was heavily absorbed in the task, finding it surprisingly enjoyable as he swapped the weights back and forth.

To Jace: District 9 Male
Christie evaluated Jace's throws with a nod. The woman is composed, not showing much on her face. "You're doing well." She stated to Jace. "Lets move onto some moving targets. The first two are at twenty feet. " The average proximity of a rival at Cornucopia? "The third is at thirty feet and the last two are at forty feet."
She leads Jace to another range and at her sign, the wooden round targets begin to move to the left or right on lines. It may be practice in learning how to lead his opponent, as they moved at the same speed.
"If you have any questions, let me know." She encourages Jace, moving to stand about four feet away to give him some room to work.
To Rory: District 7 Female
Nate nods as he evaluates Rory. "Not bad. You know how to climb the trees, how to navigate them. Remember that climbing vines and other aids the tree may have works a skill that you haven't perfected. Allow yourself extra time or try and work on your upper body strength. " He gives her an approving nod. "You've done well on the tree course, Rory. I say that you've learned every thing that you can here."
To Tank: District 7 male & Luci: District 5 male
The instructor - and Peace Keepers - continue to watch the weight lifters carefully. The instructor walks between Luci and Tank, watching thier form. He encourages Tank to 'Lift with your back."
He drifts back over to Luci, watching how he gets through his curls. As he nears the end, he brings over a smaller medicine ball near Luci; awaiting his completion of the excercise.

Rory: District 7 Female Tribute
Rory nods, taking a few moments to catch her breath. She fights the urge to smile. She isn’t please with herself. Not yet. When the real fight starts, will make all the difference. Did she plan to go home? No. But in a way she it’s fitting she’s here. The aunt she never knew died to protect a mother she couldn’t remember. At the very least she promised she’d give District 7 a showing to remember her by.
Where to next, she asks herself. Nate told her to work on her upper body strength and maybe she would if she has the time. But Rory also knows her weak points. Survival instincts were not her strong suit. She needed to know what she could and could not eat out there. The last thing Rory wants is to die of something she ate.
Rory makes her way to the Edible Plants & Medicinal Plants sections with her hands tucked behind her back.
