I've never seen so many people proud of their districts' inability to win. I mean, I'm sure all those Top 5 finishers left behind marvelous corpses, but is that really something one should aspire to?

Truly, the "pride" of the lower districts is a most baffling thing.

I apologize on behalf of Maniac. He's one of those people who believes everything he reads on the internet. I'm sure every district has at least one person like that.

That is just moonshine. While official records show that District 5 had their tributes finish in 2nd/3rd place on two separate occasions, they've never finished above 6th in the other games.

I remember specifically roleplaying as girls in every. Hunger. Games. Roleplay. These were the Games where you claim a spot, and I am ALWAYS stuck with the opposite gender. And the people who claim the males write in one-sentences and generally suck at roleplaying.

lol roleplaying community

I'd doubt it would be gender-based though. I would go against it.

Chapter 2

Beyond the lush green fields on the edge of District 1, the sun rose cautiously into the sky. For many people in Contestia, today would be a day of caution, and worry, as today… was Draw Day.

For one man in District 1 though, today was not a day of worry at all, today was a day he looked forward to every year, and was notoriously the most vocally proud man of his district. Pram squinted as the sunlight hit his eyes from a small gap in his expensive linen curtains. After a few moments, he broke in to a gleaming smile.

“Todays the day” he said with a broad smile.

Elsewhere other Disctrict 1 members were rising from their luxurious beds. Butlers, privileged enough to live in the district, but always at a beck and call to their masters were also entered in to the draw for tributes at this years Hunger Games. Butlers such as Leo.

Leo, amongst other servants to the rich and wealthy of District 1, dreaded Draw Day. Over the ten years The Hunger Games had been running though, only one servant had ever been chosen to compete… He had lasted no more than 5 minutes when the game started. He had run for a weapon and got to it second, and met a gruesome death, which all the servants had witnessed on a large screen TVs situated around the vast district. Leo had hoped he wasn’t going to be the second ever to be picked.

“LEO! BRING ME SOME COFFEE! NOW!” Came the scream from upstairs.

“Yes Master Plum, right away!” Leo shouted politely back, and scurried off to the kitchen, more things weighing on his mind today than coffee.

Plum sat in his leather armchair, crossed one leg over the other, and opened todays newspaper. “Draw Day is upon us. Who will lead District 1 to victory?!” read the headline. Plum, like many other District members, relished the games, and had been training all year in preparation to be picked. He may now be in his mid 30s, but he had the athleticism of a 19 year old.

District 1, more commonly known as the Phoenix District, is the wealthiest area in the country, outside the capital city. The capital city is mainly full of political rich types, and people that contribute fully to the prosperity of the nation, in a supportive and political manner. Those in District 1 are rich types who did not support the current regime, most likely were involved within the rebellion, and no longer really contribute much at all in the way of society, and just sit on family inheritances.

What the Phoenix District does have though, is an extreme amount of money, pride, and a lot of time on their hands. When The 1st Hunger Games were announced, most people had their heads in their hands, panic spread in the lower districts, but not here. People now felt they had a purpose, they had something to do with their time, they would train all year in preparation, win The Games for their District, and sit on even more money than they already do.

Although there are a lot of people in District 1 that sit around and live a life of leisure and luxury, it is also home to professional doctors and the highest earning businesses within the country.

Chris and Ryoko are two of the aforementioned doctors. Although they are meant to spend most of their time treating the sick and injured, there isn’t too much of it in District 1. The most they usually have to deal with is a strange rash, or a broken toenail. So most of the time, they actually spend in the gym, or out in the fields weapon training. Chris and Ryoko had been friends since childhood, their families were close, and both had pushed them to be doctors from an early age.

Chris had wanted to be involved in The Hunger Games for years. He believed a lot in the power of his district, and although he would cheer the District 1 tribute on in the previous games, he had always wished it would be him. He knew the draw for the tributes was at midday sharp in the city square, he knew that if he was picked this year, this was the last time to get in some field training.

The sun had barely risen over the horizon and Chris had set up his wooden target in the field and was already pacing back to his bow and arrow. He picked up his bow, loaded an arrow and pulled the string back in preparation to shoot. As he drew back, so did his shirt sleeve, revealing the tattoo he had on his forearm. “We never truly die”. Chris wanted to be in The Hunger Games for the glory, and to go down in history, not for the money… He already had enough of that.

“You’re up early” came a shout from behind him, causing his arrow to fly away from the target.

“Goddammit Ryoko!” Chris span round angrily “You put me off!”

A beautiful girl in her mid twenties with shoulder length brown hair and fair skin was walking towards him.

“What if someone shouts at you whilst you’re in The Hunger Games? You going to tell them off for distracting you?” She smirked, crossing her arms.

“Pshh… Whatever” Chris said, turning back to load up another arrow.

---------------------

Luis Sera looked at his watch. 10am. 2 hours until Draw Day. He hoped he wouldn’t be picked. He had a business to run. He couldn’t possibly leave it to his assistant. The place would be in ruins. If he did get picked, he thought, he would have to win it within 12 hours. Kill everyone as quickly as possible, then he could get back to work. Yes, he thought, I can do that.

“You look lost in thought sir” came a voice from his office door.

It was his assistant, Tyder. Tyder was much younger than Luis, in his early thirties, and although passionate about the company, didn’t have the initiative or intelligence to run it if Luis was selected.

“Just thinking about the draw today” Luis responded in a truthful manner, tapping his fingers on his desk.

“Don’t worry sir!” Tyder piped up with a beaming smile. “If you get picked, I can quite happily run the company in your stead!”

Luis forced a smile back, but all the time was thinking ‘well actually Tyder, I hope you ****ing get picked.”

---------------------------
District 1 also had its fair share of musical stars. Most lived in the capital, but those who rebelled, or just weren’t that popular anymore, were shifted to District 1. Hobo was one of those music stars, or a rapper to be more precise.

Hobo wanted to be in the games this year for many reasons. The main one was publicity. In the interviews beforehand, he could really sell his music to the people, maybe do a bit of rapping, get his name back out there. He wasn’t too worried either about the competition itself. Like most people in the district, he held a lot of pride in their record in The Games, and made sure he was fit and ready if the time ever came.

As he made his way to the square for the drawing of the names, Hobo looked around him as hundreds more were doing the same thing.

“Please let it be me this year…” He muttered under his breath.

----------------------------

Caelus could hear his two sons downstairs. They were optimistic and excited about todays tribute selection. He smiled secretly as he finished off writing a page of his memoirs. As he set down his fountain pen, his oldest son of 22, Silver, came in through the door.

“What have I told you about knocking?!” Caelus said sternly.

“Sorry father, I just thought I would let you know its time”

Caelus’ other son, CPU came up just behind his older brother. “Hey Dad, I was thinking, what if you get selected today? You haven’t trained nearly as hard as me and Silver have!

Caelus knew they were telling the truth, but he didn’t care, if he did get picked, he would have to just use his experience and knowledge to win… And win he shall, if the time came. Caelus was now 50 years old though, the last year of eligibility for The Games. He was an experienced fighter though, and helped significantly in the year of the rebellion with his skills on the battlefield. He had handed these skills down to his sons, in case they were ever picked on Draw Day. If they ever got picked he knew they would do the district proud and have every chance of winning, and of course, he wouldn’t want to see either one of them dead.

“Come on father” Silver said impatiently, flicking his shoulder length white hair “We’re going to miss it!”

“Don’t be so overdramatic son, of course we won’t. They always run late anyway.” Caelus said as he rose from his chair.

---------------------
As Caelus had predicted, they were late. It was 12:10 when the mayor of District 1, Miles Edgeworth began giving his speech before the drawing.

“Today, as you know, is Draw Day!” He started, and a cheer erupted from the anticipating crowd. “District 1 has a great reputation in these games, and one that is expected to be upheld. I know many of you have been training tirelessly this year, so if you do get picked, do us all proud!” This was met by another roar from the sea of faces.

--
~C~ - NIO BUNNY - http://img.imgcake.com/nio/76ayvpngam.png
A Hot Dog will make you a fatty, a SuperNiceDog will make you a GURU!

Another man arose as Edgeworth finished his speech. He wore a tank top, which although unbecoming of general style and fashion in District 1, did show off the mans rippling muscles. The sun reflected off his dark sunglasses, causing some members of the crowd who were standing in the wrong position to squint a little. As he reached the podium though, he was met with rapturous applause. This man was the first ever winner of The Hunger Games, and represented District 1. His name was Duke Nukem. Not your typical Distict 1er, Nukem had actually been employed by the district as a trainer for The Games, but instead himself had been drawn out of the hat. He became an instant District legend, and had won The Games in some style.

“Please” He shouted in his deep voice “I’m here to pick tributes and chew bubblegum… And I’m all out of gum!”

Huge amounts of cheers and laughter erupted from the crowd once more, all familiar with Duke’s famous phrases from the interviews before the first ever Hunger Games.

“Good luck to all of you.”

Duke reached his hand in to the giant glass bowl in front of him, filled with small pieces of paper. He grabbed one and pulled it out, unravelled it, and read the content out.

“Chris Knight!” He bellowed.

Chris’ eyes widened as the name was read out. Him and Ryoko were standing only a few rows back from where the crowd started. Ryoko had to give him a big pat on the back to snap him out of his daze, and he came round to hear cheers and clapping surrounding his ears. He staggered up to the stage not quite believing what was happening. He’d been picked! His dream had finally come true! He was going to be in the games.

Duke grabbed him round the neck. “How do you feel son?” He said, thrusting the microphone in his face.

Chris just smiled. “Fantastic” he replied. “I promise I will do the District proud, and bring home the win!” He pumped his fist in to the air, which encouraged the crowd to do the same, accompanied by another whooping cheer.

“Ok, and our second tribute will be…” Duke started, as he drew another name out of the bowl. “Ryoko Shadow!” He yelled aloud.

More cheers, but Ryoko, like Chris, didn’t hear them at first. She looked up on to the stage to see her childhood friends reaction. It was one of pure disbelief and surprise.

Chris looked down at Ryoko as she made her way up to the stage to join him. She was smiling, and looked full of confidence, but he knew that inside, she would be afraid… Or so he thought. Although he felt a sudden shock when Ryoko’s name was called, Chris knew he couldn’t let emotion take over, this was about pride, this was about winning, nothing or no-one was going to stand in his way, even if it was Ryoko.

Ryoko smiled at him as she walked past to be spoken to by Duke.

“What are the odds eh?” She laughed.
