It's nice that they're giving us advance notice of the first Gamemaker death this year. It should help out all of the bettors, and it's good to know which Tribute Chet should bother doing anything with. I like the trend of mentor assistance. Next year I hope they dress them in shirts stating their IQ and likelihood of death.

Training's begun, children. Now's the time to speak up if you have anything interesting to tell us, or any unusual stations or Tributes you think are likely to be able to kill you.

And if you want to be mentored separately, now's the time to tell us that, too.

Practice your pretty smiles for interviews, and try not to trip over Risio's feet, I know they're hard to miss, at that size.

It's probably for the best. What good is a victor who can't clap politely at parties?

And then there were five.

[Locked Private to Maia]
I've heard you, the last few nights. Are you all right? You know if you want company, my door is always open, for you.

[Locked to Maia]
They lost some food in that torching, and from how little we're seeing hunting worthy game on the screens, I think the Gamemakers want them hungry.

I don't think we need to yet, but we might end up having to feed them at some point.

So far, my favorite Tribute inspired accessory is the little birds people are sporting on their shoulders. Though I imagine it gets messy.

[Victors, Minus 3, 7, & 11]
Did the kids this year not get the memo about not being able to win unless everyone else was dead? What the hell was that?

He's not even one of the doe eyed 12 year olds, like it was with Bray and Mags' girl last year.

[Maia, Mags, Bray, Silver, & Gemma]
It looks like they're planning on today, from the set up.

Hotswap, I'll forgive you for stealing my man's heart if you wear something slinky and dance with me at that party this weekend.

Our Tributes seem destined to clash. I'm sorry, for what it's worth. I saw you got your girl a bow. She must have fans.

Five hours I had to sit and be painted with henna. I look like an art school project, and I can't even blame Risio for it.

So far, I've had one sponsor already earnestly ask me if their donation would go toward sending Gallus more canned meat.

Gallus talked to me about discussing interview strategy. He's mostly content to be coached with Livia, but since he asked, I'll pass along what we come up with and take him for the final killing tips, and you can take Livia.

Though he said that you were badass.

Someone wanted me to sign a box with a doll whose head detaches. I don't

I know at this time of year, we all have to compete, and watch our precious Tributes fight for the glory of Panem, but I think it's time we all were honest, and faced the true threat amongst us. Divisive as the Games can be, we have to focus and come together as a nation to combat the real danger.

Canaries. Always there, lurking in the shadows, searching for innocent hats and showing no mercy for any they find to decimate. It has gone unnoticed and un-combated for too long.

I salute 12's valiant stylist for staging such a public demonstration of the type of horrors canaries are capable of.

Damn. I was hoping that 9 would put more of a dent in girl 1 than he did, when he went out. At least the boy looks pretty shaky.

Two against two, it might come down to a Capitol friendly show, at this rate.

That's my boy.

[Locked to Maia]
Showy and brutal, the Capitol will love it.

They sure as hell better love it enough to shell out for first aid and meds. They paid for Haline's. She's not half as dynamic as my our boy.
[/Maia]

[Locked to Tesla]
Holding up all right? I'd say I'm sorry, but it would be a blatant lie. Your boy's still going, that's something.

The wrist is bad, with the weight of that weapon. He has the axe, and the knife at least, I doubt even Maia or I could drum up enough to send a different weapon at this point in the game.

He needs drugs to power through. I'll figure out something to get them.
