District Four Reaping

[Elletnah™ The JabberJay]

District 4 was often one that would revel in the potential of the games. It meant reason for celebrations, parties and everything! Hell, even if their district didn't win they still had a victory tour. And with a victory tour there were MORE parties!!

With a smile upon his face, The mayor of District Four stood upon the podium and announced officially to the waiting crowds "Happy Hunger Games!" As his microphone echoed across the town, he felt it was necessary to give off a grin. He didn't care much for the games but it always gave off a good vibe of sorts.

"It was then decreed that each district would give, as payment, two tributes, one male and one female, between the ages of 12 and 18 to fight to the death in an arena for a yearly event now rightfully named the Hunger Games." With a smile upon his face and one last "Happy Hunger Games" The mayor sat down at his seat, allowing their escort, a short woman wearing a rather skimpy, way-too-revealing dress which made the mayor kind of want to heave every time he saw her, take his place. As she stood barely high enough, she quickly dragged her chair to the podium and stood, with a smile on her face as she repeated his exact words.

With the help of peacekeepers, the lady who's name kind of blanked in the mayor's mind managed to get hold of two slips. One for the boys and one for the girls.

"And our tributes are James Aberdean and Autumn Rose!!"
Her voice annoyed him. It was the kinda voice that made you want to just walk up to the person who it's coming from and punch them in the face. But of course the mayor couldn't do that. Could pay someone to do it, he guessed..

But not the point, James Aberdean and Autumn Rose. Who knows? Maybe one of them would win. All he could say was good luck to them..

Hmm.. May The Odds Be In Their Favour.

Recently, I've had dreams, not nightmares but dreams of a little girl I have a feeling I would soon call my own. Every time it would be the same thing happening over and over again, she would look me in the eyes, those oh so big eyes and grasp my hand tightly, just like what I imagine the young girls father would do. The wind would be slightly blowing as her bright scarlet hair would move back and forth in a pattern. After a couple moments her small frame would look up to me again and simply squeeze onto my leg and the saddest look would cover her face and she asked the same question every time and it would haunt me. "Where's daddy?" Then I'd awake to find myself pondering those words, looking over to the male I had loved my whole life. Now I was with him. We'd have a kid and be happy. It was my dream. I was wrong though. Dreams were just for princesses and I for sure wasn't a princess. A lot of things would happen that I had not expected. I remember that morning so clearly that it felt like nothing. There was a bright ray of sunshine coming from the window of the large beach house mansion, mere minutes ticking my life down to the wire. Then I'd wake to the loud annoying buzzing of the alarm clock and his stiff arms around me. I slowly slipped from his grasp and threw my legs over the side of the bed, a small bump coming from my stomach as I continued to leap up, caressing it softly. Stumbling, I make it to the bathroom, riding myself of the pajamas and into the hot steamed shower scorching my skin. It burned but I didn't care. I had more important things on my mind now, as if I were to be reaped or not. It took me a simple 10 minutes, slipping on the pink robe and throwing my hair up in an old towel. When I walked out the door I was not greeted the usual way for he was getting ready to. I quickly made my way to the dresser in our room and pulled out the short pink dress I had picked out, slipping it on. I twirled around for a few moments, letting the jumbled mess of hair flow freely as I searched the room for a comb. I took many minutes to brush it, running my fingers through it, trying to get it dry. I didn't really have much time so I slipped on my shoes and rushed with the makeup. On my bottom lash line I put a dark pink fleshy color that made my eyes pop. mascara, and some eye shadow. A very light eye shadow. Now that I was pretty much set I threw on my pink heels and fixed my hair. I had never looked better, winking at the tall handsome man standing in the doorway. My lips quickly touched his as I smiled, my hands wrapping around him. Fear was present in his eyes and I remember wondering.. What did he fear most? Loosing me or himself? It didn't really matter though. Things happen for a reason, right? Then we stepped out the door, our hands clasped tightly as we made our way to the stands where our fingers were pricked and we were off. Minutes pasted by until the ladies were called and my name was first up. "Autumn Rose!" My heart sank as I glanced over to James.. Eyes watering as I stood there for a few moments, walking slowly onto the stage. I straightened my posture, looked into the crowd and stared. I spoke with confidence. "I take my place as tribute for district 4," Stepping away from the microphone I waited for the male. I couldn't hear and my body felt numb as his name was called and he uneasily took his place... Accepting and quickly embracing me for a kiss. I could feel the tension in his movements, ripped from me as I was pulled down the stairs and into the justice building.. Here I am now, reliving it, hoping that maybe that little girl in the dream is wrong. Daddy is okay and I'm alright. Even hoping, sitting on the dark velvet couch, hoping this is a dream...

James felt a harsh yell rise from the back of his throat as he hear his finance's name called. "NO!" He fought his way through the crowd and nearly punched a peacekeeper in the face before he realized his own name had also been called. He shrugged his way out of the crowd and found Autumn, wrapping his arms tight around her and kissing her fiercely up on that stage. The crowd cheered them on before the peacekeepers tore them apart. They'ed been living together for 3 months now, and everything had been going great, with minor arguments here and there. His voice shook as he spoke into the microphone. "I... I accept."

Rally The District!

We need to rally all the District members here for the annual Hunger Games! It seems to us officials that not every spot here has been claimed by someone. Currently the male spot are open to be taken from another member.

If you currently have more than one character in the games at the moment, then you are not eligible to take the spot.

If Katie decides to return then she has first right to the spot, but if not the first person to claim the spot gets it.
