 The Town Center
The Town Center is right in front of the District 12 Justice Building. It's a common place where the citizens meet and chat. This is also the place shown around the country during the Reaping Day, where the children line up and wait to see the fate of one of their fellow citizens.

 Gemma Neive Vanderbell DISTRICT 12 Today was a day that not even the mayor's daughter was safe from the reaping, and while it terrified me, I was glad that the system was fair in that way. Of course, nothing about the Hunger Games were likable or fair, but if I were to be the tribute called up and somehow I managed to win, then I'd be able to help my district out a bit and stop the starvation for a year or so. I'd spend my winnings on helping them maintain a decent life in this grey and dying district. I wanted people to lead easier lives here in district twelve, and I'd be honored in making it better for them. I worried about my brother, Gabriel being called into the reaping as I always did, but he only had two more times in being risked for the reaping, and then he would be free of the Capitol's evil grasp and I'd never have to worry for him about the games. I'd certainly spend the rest of my time worrying about him in the mines though. There was no stopping me there.
My mother had been her usual teary self this morning about her two children going into the reaping and my father had been quiet and thoughtful as he usually was during the reaping ceremony. I was nervous for myself as well, but I'd try to handle it the best that I could without letting myself appear too affected by it to the rest of the district, but my family knew me enough to know that I was chilled to the bone by having my name at risk.
I was currently standing in my age group's barrier and watching as our district escort greeted us with extreme exuberance. I couldn't remember their name, but all I knew about them was that they were here to deliver news of the two tributes that would most likely die in these games. It was safe enough to say, due to not having a victor in twenty four years. I found it hard to believe that we'd be so lucky as to win this year, but I never gave up hope for whomever was called. People just tended to give up before the games even began and I knew that many were capable of winning.

 Chuck Dalton THE STEPS OF HAPPINESS WERE LONG GONE
AS I WALK TOWARDS OBLIVION •·.·´¯`·.·••·.·´¯`·.·• I always dread the reaping. I didn't even sleep last night the nightmares came back and the need to drown them out with my liquor overcame my want to be sober for the new tributes as it does most years. I make an attempt every year but alcohol has been my coping method for too long. I was awoken by the arrival of some capitol people and they helped me become at least a bit sober and presentable for the day ahead. The one good thing I can look forward to is some good capitol alcohol in the next few hours.
I can't even look into the crowd when I enter onto the platform brought in for the reaping. I'm hoping maybe I can get a pair of fighters like last year. When I lost them at the feast I don't remember much else of my time in the capitol. I drank away the sorrow. I had had so much hope for them. I suppose it was better that way though. Making it out of the arena could be much worse than dying in it plus I doubted both of them would make it out and it would have been torturous for the one that did.
So here I am sitting on the platform with a large hangover avoiding looking out into the sea of children who I will be mentoring this year. Next year is a quarter quell. I fear my ability to help any tribute that is reaped next year and maybe just maybe they could have another mentor to help. Although they would only have a year to get prepared and might still be traumatized from their games. Everything is just a mess.

Eric had woken up bright and early that morning, getting ready for the day slowly and meticulously. His thoughts, as they always did, turned to the pain the people of the District would have to endure. It was a day when none smiled and no one managed to look him in the eye, for some odd reason. Of course, it was well known that his children had no immunity from the Reaping, but there was still a part of everyone that thought this was false. A fact that pained Eric greatly. As much as he would love for his children to be immune from the Games, no one in any of the Districts were safe, and the fact that his own people's hearts filled with loathing on this day for nothing hurt him.
With sure, confident steps and a raised chin, Eric mounted the stand and took his seat behind the podium where the Escort would speak from. The Mayor sat next to their District's Victor and Mentor, nodding at the man and saying softly, "Hello, Mr. Dalton." He didn't say "how are you?" or "good-morning." because he knew how Chuck was and it was certainly not a good morning. The Mayor let his eyes scan the children standing, waiting for their names to be called, and locked eyes with his daughter. They had not spoken much that morning, although Eric had hugged his daughter when he got the chance. Just before they departed the house he'd kissed her forehead, and now he looked into her blue eyes and nodded once, mouthing the words "I love you" silently. Then the Mayor sat straight and silent, stoic and reserved. He didn't show the dread that rose in his heart, nor how he prayed that neither of his children would be called to the stand. They had gone years without being summoned, and Eric hoped that they would remain safe.

Zero walked her way into the town center, anxious. "...Here we go again..." She thought, as she remembered that about her sister being called up. "Why didn't I volunteer that year?" She asked herself. Walking over to her age bracket, she stood with the other seventeen year old children. Not knowing most of the kids there. "Oh joy...People I don't know..." She sarcastically thought. "I guess it's my fault...I hardly ever do go to school..." Shrugging it off and looking up on stage a surge of hate flowed throughout her body."...Stupid Capitol pawns...Enjoy the show..." She bitterly thought, clenching her fist.

GINGER ICECRYSTAl
I Wacthed as they pulled the Female tributes name from the bowl and looked at my 2 sisters with a half smile.When they Read the name I froze Perhaps theres another Ginger Icecrystal but no I knew then and there that it was totally me going into the arena.I looked around and noticed that kid not looking at me at all looking the other way.I wont be able to even get her name.I looked at my two sisters and new they were doomed with the pain of watching me in despair.First our parents now me.I looked around perhaps I can win I thought really just fooling myself.I cant even climb a tree that well.I will learn for my sisters I thought about that kids tactics and started to play it over in my head.In the mist of thinking I noticed all eyes were on me to walk on the stage.As the peace keepers walked me on I looked around thinking this will be the last moments in district 12 if I do not come back alive.When I sat down they called the second tribute it was thomos.Remembering him from the woods I finally new his name now.

 ➳ Talia Catalina Thanatos ➳ But all I ever wanted to do was to fall in love. Just to be in love. But my heart was racing. My mind was screaming, "You've got your whole life to do these things." But my legs were shaking. My hands were searching Always searching Talia was in the crowd, watching as everyone got ready for the Reaping. She breathed a sigh of relief when her name wasn't called. She loked around at the other girls whom were breathing in relief as well. Tal watched as the girl went up on stage. She vaguely remembered the girl from seeing her at school but she hadn't really talked to her much. She watched as she took her spot on the stage. And then the boys were called. She watched in horror as Thomas made his way up to the stage. No, there had to be a mistake. There's no way that her Thomas could be called. She had only been flirting with him in the forest just yesterday. This couldn't be! No. She's wouldn't accept it. She watched as he took his spot and then they asked for volunteers. She looked at the crowd of boys, praying that someone was brave enough to volunteer for him.

Zero waited in anticipation until the name was called. "Ginger? Oh no... I just met the kid yesterday and now she just got called out..." She thought to herself. Waiting a few more minutes for the male tribute it turned out to be Thomas. "Wh-What?! I met him a few days ago and had a fight with him...That's great...The tributes this year are people I know...I should've volunteered years ago...This is just like three years ago..." Her hand clenched into a fist.

Chuck Dalton THE STEPS OF HAPPINESS WERE LONG GONE
AS I WALK TOWARDS OBLIVION •·.·´¯`·.·••·.·´¯`·.·• The mayor comes up onto the stage and offers me a greeting. He does not ask me how I am though or look too excited though. Most people in district twelve know how I must be right now. It's not hard to guess and you can obviously see I'm hungover and not at all happy to be here. The mayor has children on the line for reaping. His status does not get them out of that. I feel a sense of distress as I wonder if I could be mentoring his children this year but I try to shove it off.
Our escort begins a speech and then gets right to business with the video shown every year. I keep my eyes fixated on a crack in the platform though having only looked up from it to acknowledge the mayor and nod a greeting. Before I know it I'm drawn out of my thoughts to our escort saying, 'Ladies first.' per usual.
My eyes flash upward as she pulls out one of the thousands of slips and walks back towards the microphone. The name that resounds over the square is not one familiar to me at all. I'm trying to judge her personality. Will she stay strong, not show emotion, and stand a chance in the arena? It is too early to tell as she makes her way up here. Well she hasn't fallen into hysteria crying maybe that is a good sign.
I ignore her for the time being as the escort moves over to grab the boy tribute's slip. It is pulled out and she is hurrying back to the microphone and the name Thomas rebounds across the square. Another unfamiliar name to me, but that is not much of a surprise seeing as I keep to myself most of the time. My eyes follow the crowd's finding the boy amongst a group. It is easy to find the person chosen as everybody takes a step back and stares. I watch as he registers the fact that he has been chosen for the games wondering how he will react.

I Watched as they were going to pick the tributes my palms sweading even thoe sometimes I wish I would be picked as he calls of the Ladie tribute my mouth drops its Ginger the happy go lucky girls in the woods she wouldt stand a chance.My eyes teared a little bit and I wanted to volunteer for her but my hand wouldt go up in the air and I wouldt start talking fast enough I was so shocked and befor I new it volunteering was up I dipped my head not whanting to look at her.I thought about it I really should of volunteered there is a low possiblity she could win.Then I thought back to the forest she ran quicker then any one ive seen befor and her bow and arrow skills arnt that bad eaither.Then I saw that jerk thomas get called up I must admit I dont feel as bad as usual and the more I thought about it he was a strong canidate maybe he will help get Ginger out of the arena.I thought back to last years tributes who won of course it was district 1.Well this year I know theese kids somewhat this will be bad.I thought to my self.And all at the same time I was releived deep down I know I shouldt be but I am.I looked at Zero and cought her eye and gave her the eye of a yikes.I blew my hair back in my face as Ginger tried to make Eyecontact with me again I decide Ill try to vist her for the 3 minutes friends and family get. I looked at my shoes as they continued.
