The District 5 Justice Building & Town Center
This is where any number of things happen. Where the town gossips meet to talk, where friends get together to hang out, and where people go if they just want friendly conversation. But, it is also the place where criminals are put on trial, men and woman are executed and where the District gathers to hear the names of the latest Tributes.

Lucy walked into the town square with her heart in her throat and sweat on her palms. Yes, she was frightened, and yes, she was afraid that that fear was showing on her face. Reaping day always sent foreboding flushing through her, because, even if some kids were confident in their abilities, frankly, Lucy thought that she'd be one of the first to die in the Games. A bleak outlook on it all, but it's what she honestly thought. So she hoped, as she was registered and sent to stand with the other fifteen year olds, that she wouldn't be called. She hoped too, that Nim wouldn't be called. But this second one she hoped for with all of her being. She would be relatively okay if she were called, but if her older sister were... Well she'd probably have a nervous breakdown. Nim meant everything to her, and to see her older sister called into the Games would be worse than death. She'd already lost so many people.... She shook these thoughts from her head and stood quietly, waiting for the Escort to take the stage and begin the Reaping.
The mechanic wished, suddenly, that she'd been allowed to bring Socket, but her mother had forbidden it. Lucy understood why, really, but it would have been nice to have the dog with her. The girl stood on the tips of her toes and looked around fro her sister, ignoring the agitated murmurs of the kids who she stumbled into. There was another reason she wouldn't make it in the Games, she was clumsy as hell. Oh, this should be an interesting day, for little Lucy-Ann.

 Nim Ivory Gallagher DISTRICT 5 Fingers clutched around the locket that lie gently against my chest, I stared around frightfully at the other girls my age, praying that neither my sister or myself were called into the Hunger Games. My mind fought against acknowledging the fact that I had already lost a sister to the games because I knew it could easily throw me off balance. The last thing I needed was to have a breakdown by admitting to myself that this horrible thing happened to my family. I exhaled softly and looked around, trying to focus my view on my younger sister, Lucy-Ann. After a few moments of searching her age group, I spotted her standing there looking a little spooked by the entire process. I felt a strong maternal desire to give her a hug in hopes that I could provide some form of comfort, but I remained in place, knowing that I'd probably be scolded for leaving the designated area.
I stared up at the stage before us, feeling incredibly nervous about seeing our escort come up to begin the official process of the reaping. My stomach was flipping nervously as I waited, desperately wanting this process to be over, but at the same time wanting it to never start. The only thing that I desired doing was going back home and telling my remaining family members how much I care for them and having a nice little feast together. I had decorated a nice little white cake for us to share once the reaping was over and we were all safe and sound, and I was curious as to how they would enjoy the lemon frosting I had worked so hard on creating for them.

Caleb
Caleb wasn't scared, he wasn't nervous,nor distraught. In fact this was the calmest Caleb has been all week, except whenever he was with his sister. He loved being around her. If he was scared, nervous or distraught today, it was for her. He wouldn't know what to do if she was pulled, but there was a low chance of that. Her name was only in Tesserae once, so it didn't matter.
He sighed, as he watched the other guys of his age file in around him. Some he noticed from the power plant, others he noticed from school. Either way he could easily tell they were nervous. He kept his eyes ahead, constantly tugging at the cuffs of his sleeves. They bothered him more than the Reaping, they made him feel even more confined than normal. But he didn't complain about it since his sister wanted him to wear it.
He waited patiently for the capitol representative to take the stage. The show was about to begin.

┗━━━━━━━━━┛ After giving my grandmother a kiss on the cheek, I turned to the rest of my family, ready to embrace everyone before we had to head out to the reaping ceremony. My little sister, Whistle, threw herself at me first, and I gave her a hug, lifting her off the floor of our home and giving her a light spin around. I placed her back on the ground, and she gave me a small smile through her tear stained face. I pinched her cheek. "That's more like it, you silly thing. There's no need for tears. Me and Chrome will be just fine, you'll see. " I said to her, and she slowly nodded, her extraordinarily childish face peering up at me, willing to believe what I told her. I only hoped that I was right. I looked over at Chrome, and he had his usual silent demeanor that I saw every time the reapings came around. I hated that he was so frightened, as was I, and wished that I could say something that would comfort him. Sadly he wasn't as gullible as Whistle was.
I gave my farewells to my mother and grandfather, and slowly walked over to get my finger pricked in order to be lead to my age group of seventeen year old girls. The moment I stepped within the group, panic slowly began rising in me, for the fear of everyone surrounding me was so present in the air, that I could not escape its suffocating grasp. Our escort began merrily chatting away to us, much to my displeasure, and I cast my eyes over to my younger brother, desperately hoping that his name wouldn't be drawn. His eyes were staring fearfully up at the woman speaking on the stage, and I reverted my gaze back to her as well. Once the video that described why the hunger games occurred each year were over, the escort wasted no time in walking over to the bowls.
"Morrigan Ravine!"
My pounding heart skidded to a painful stop, and I could barely keep the look of shock from my face, knowing that the cameras were desperately trying to zoom in on my face. The sound of my sister crying broke me out of my paralyzed state, and I bravely put one foot in front of the other as I made my way to the stage, focusing on the sound of my footsteps the entire distance. Once I was onstage with the escort, she had me say my name to the crowd, and then quickly went on to calling the boy.
Tao Massey The name rung a bell somewhere in the back of my mind, but I couldn't place where I had heard of it before. Of course, I was in a state of complete panic, so I wasn't going to blame myself for not remembering who the boy was that would be joining me in our journey to the Capitol. I couldn't believe it. I was a tribute...━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 T a oXXM a s s e yD i s t r i c tXXF i v e--------------------------------------------------On the Reaping Day Tao's family life was always hectic. His mother and grandmother were always very frantic and fearful that either him or his sister would someday be chosen for the Hunger Games. Though it wasn't like it was impossible it was just very unlikely that it would. At least that's what Tao thought. There were thousands other other boys in his District and there was a long shot that he could be chosen. As for Tao's father, he was always very quiet about it. He might have never told us but his mother told him a story about how his brother had died in the Games. Tao could understand his reason of trying to ignore them after hearing that. So he always refrained from bringing anything up with anyone in his family. Well that was besides his sister. They were close. Yes she was young but she was quite intelligent and wise for her age. He enjoyed going on walks with her and having long conservations about life and the future. Oh how he loved those talks. To bad he couldn't have one today though...
As Tao went out the door of their home his sister called for him to slow down so they could go together. "Hurry up you slow poke!" He called to her teasingly as she caught up to him. "Sorry T.J., ma and mema didn't want let go of me! You know she's upset that you didn't give her a hug before you left." She said looking at him with her big sad eyes. "I'm a big boy I can take care of myself, I understand she cares for me and wishes me to be safe but after all those years on the streets you'd think she would get a clue about me feeling independent and not reliant on her...Now don't give me that look! Everything will be alright!" Tao said quickly realizing that he had upset his sister with his words. This killed him. He hated seeing her cry. "Listen to me, I'm sorry...I love ma, mema, and pa I should have hugged them. You know that. I swear when we are done I'll go up to each one of them and give them a big old hug and a sloppy kiss! Hows that sound?" He said nudging her arm playfully and then smiling and wiped a tear away from her cheek. She nodded and smiled, signaling that she felt a little better then they continued walking on toward the town center.
When they finally reached the center they checked in with the peacekeepers and made their ways to their separate lines. He was in a group of the other sixteen year old boys, many he knew from school and some from the street fights. Though many wouldn't know him, he always hid his identity when fighting. Out here he was known as Ares, who was the god of war form ancient history. A name given to him by his fighting mentor, Zeus. He was rather famous in his younger years but later quit and sought out Tao after watching him fight when he was 13 and offered him training and advice. Tao loved Zeus like a father, he wishes he could see him more often but the power plants have forced him to work longer hours in preparation for the 124th Hunger Games.
As Tao looked to the stage he noticed they had begun the opening of the District 5 Reaping. The Escort was as ridiculous looking as she was acting, the usual act. He wished they would at least have a somewhat happy Escort, that way it could make the Reaping less painful. Just as she finished up talking she presented the video from the Captiol, they played the same stupid video each year. You'd think with all the money and technology they had in the Captiol they could make a new one. As it ended Tao began to feel the a horrible feeling in his stomach. The nerves were, killing him. As the Escort made her way over to the Female Reaping Ball she picked out a name and went over to the microphone and called the first name.
"Morrigan Ravine!"
Tao let out a sigh of relief, his sister was safe. Though he couldn't say the same for the girl chosen. He really didn't recognize her the only thing he did know about her was that she must have been seventeen because she was in that age group. There were cries from the audience from another girl, maybe family, as she made her way to the stage. He could imagine what he would do if his sister was chosen, he would probably have a breakdown. Though thank goodness this wasn't the case. The odds were in his sister's favor...though he couldn't say the same for himself.
"Tao Massey!"
It took him a moment to realize that his name was called. He just starred at the Escort for a moment until he heard a scream from his sister and his family. He broken from his frozen trance and put on his poker face. The one he always used to put on before a fight, so he would never show any fear. Always keeping them guessing. That's what Zeus taught him. As he climbed the stairs to the stage and took his place beside Morrigan. He felt like he had to say or do something, he wasn't going to go out without the his District knowing the truth. While the crowd was still looking at him he placed his hand on his chest, tapped it twice with his fist and then put it in the air in front of him. The signal of Ares' victory. He had revealed his identity. Their were several gasps and a loud wave of whispers that began to circulate around the center as Tao lowered his hand and looked to his fellow Tribute. He gave her a reassuring nod and the best smile he could work up at the moment.

┗━━━━━━━━━┛ I was just as shocked as the rest of the district to see that Tao was the teen legend of the district, or better known as Ares. I'd heard many stories of his street fights, and it was a rare thing to find someone who didn't know at least a little bit about what the kid does out there. I found myself more relieved, however, than surprised, for now I knew I had a perfectly capable partner going into the games with me. I returned the smile at Tao, hoping that I looked at least a little positive for the upcoming events. While having a tough partner was a bit of a relief, it wasn't nearly enough to calm myself down. I was still terrified for what would be happening to me in the future. My sisters crying was thankfully drown out in all the noise that the crowd was making, so it definitely made it a lot easier to walk off the stage and into the building where we would have to confront those we loved and say our farewells.
I was led into an empty room with a soft plush couch and I sat down upon it, tapping my fingers nervously over my legs, trying to come up with what I was going to say to my family. I'd need to reassure them the best that I could, but I could barely function and I was right on the edge of bursting into tears. How could I comfort them when I was so frightened and unsure of what the future held for me? There's no way I could live through the games. I may survive the bloodbath, but I don't expect to make it to the top five tributes. Those would be reserved for the careers, or even district seven. They seem to have done well for the past couple of years, and for a morbid moment I hope that their luck runs out this year.
Before I could berate myself for thinking so disturbingly, my mother and siblings come into the room and I'm instantly overcome with emotion. My mother makes a sound of genuine sympathy and wraps her arms around me, causing the tears to immediately begin falling. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry. I have to be strong..." I sniffle, and my mother manages a soft laugh and shakes her head, running her hand through my hair, causing me such comfort that I just want to sit here all day and let her do so. "Don't be foolish, Morrigan. It's perfectly fine." She says. Both my siblings watch me with concern, and I can see the tears in Whistle's eyes as she watches our mother try to comfort me. Chrome stands there with his lips pursed and I can see that his cheeks are red from trying to be strong for me. I love him for it and gesture the both of them to come to me. We all sit huddled together on that far too comfortable bench until the peacekeepers order them away. My sister struggles to stay near me, but she's eventually taken from me as well.
The next to come in are my grandparents, and I'm relieved to see the both of them. I quickly stand up to give them tight hugs before sitting down with them. My grandmother is the first to speak, but before she does, she reaches from within her pocket and hands me a small beaded bracelet. It's extremely pretty and I can only stare at it in awe for few moments before I hear her voice. "I want you to wear this into the games. I've never told you this, but I had a sister who died in the games, back when I was very young. This is what she wore into the games. Perhaps you can put her at peace by winning." She said, her lively voice for once minimized to one of melancholy. I then realized how old and worn down she truly looked, for she was generally a very loud and demanding woman, and it was no secret why my mother always got into little arguments with her. "Thank you Grams, I'll do my best for her." I said with newly found determination that I had not possessed moments ago. My grandfather was quite quiet, just as he always was, and I knew that I would most likely not hear him say anything to me, but his facial expressions told me enough that I did not doubt his caring for me. He gave me one final nod as the peacekeepers came in for them, and I was finally left alone. The only other person I could depend on now was my partner, Tao. It was us against the rest of them, and I planned to give these games my all... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 N I MxxI V O R YxxG A L L A G H E R I gave my sister a small peck on the head before we were forced to separate into our age groups, and truly hoped that neither of our names were called this year or we would both be fighting for our lives in the arena. I definitely did not want that for my younger sister. If I were going in alone then at least I would be comforted by the fact that my sister would be safe at home with our mother, but this year was different. This year, our mother could lose both of her daughters, and I couldn't stand thinking about the pain my mother must be in today, with both of her precious girls at risk. Bees swarmed in my stomach as I approached the seventeen year old girls from my district, and glanced over my shoulder to see if I could spot my sister. My eyes landed on her making her way past the boys and towards the other girls, her face just as serious as I felt.
My finger still stung from the needle that had penetrated through my skin, and I stuck it in my mouth for a quick moment, hoping to stop the slight bleeding. It worked and I dropped my hand and stood in place, looking around at the other girls who I also knew had siblings. I gave whoever would meet my eyes a small smile of good luck, but few returned it. I'm sure that they'd rather see me in the games than themselves. I'll admit that I felt the same, but it made me sick to acknowledge those feelings. It was wrong or any of us to feel this way, or even be sent into the games, but there was nothing that we could do about it. We were destined to send our children into the games for the rest of eternity, or so it seemed. If only people would take a stand against the Capitol. Last years tribute, Tao, had appeared to want to take revenge on the Capitol for the loss of his partner, Morrigan. I had known neither of them, but I had recognized their faces upon them stepping on stage. They had been so strong, and nearly won.
The district escort took the stage, and my attention was drawn away from my forbidden thoughts of rebellion, not that I was the law bending type in any way. Everything I did was to maintain safety and the protection of my mother and sister. As I watch the escort unfold the first slip of paper, I pray that it is not my name that condemns our entire family.

 V E L O C I T YxxxR A I N E xxx S P A R R O WI stare out at the crowd, wondering who the tributes would be for the quarter quell. I'm sure that it will be difficult to mentor tributes this year what with the terrible twist that the Capitol threw at us. My last years tributes, Morrigan and Tao, had made it quite far in the games, but had both perished in the battles at the feast. It was a terribly sad thing to witness, especially with all the hope that I had for one of them to make it out alive. They were almost as close as Remira and Paidor had been to winning the games, but perhaps this year there would be a victory. I shift uncomfortably in my seat on the stage before all of district five, feeling self conscious of the eyes on me. Even after all these years in the spotlight I still didn't like being under the constant scrutiny of my fellow people of district five. My life had been a mess up until recently with the birth of my daughter who had saved my from myself. I had named her after the girl I had killed in the games at the end. Even though she was a career, I still wanted to acknowledge that I had taken a life, and I wanted to honor her being through the creation of my own daughter.
Soon, the escort came out on stage and announced the official beginning of the games. She was a tall stern woman whom I did not like as much as the escort from when I was competing. However, I wasn't entitled to having to like anyone from the Capitol, but in order to gain sponsors. I hear an infant cry in the silent crowd and I instantly think of my newborn daughter, who I had named Lily Morrigan. Lily was one of the names of the girls I had ended the life of in the arena when I fought in my own games, and Morrigan for obvious reasons. I pray that neither of my daughters be reaped in their lifetimes, or I will no longer be able to go on with my life. Losing one of them would mean the end of my life. I sighed and looked over at the escort, who was now pulling the first name from the bowl, and I folded my hands on my lap, wondering whose family was going to be destroyed this year, and who I will help as much as I possibly can to win the games.D I S T R I C TxxxF I V E xxx M E N T O R
