Urial: This was such a great POV. Not only was it relatable but I loved the way it was presented. So good.

Anne: Oh I love Anne. She also a unique POV that was written to be a certain way and I loved it. Really enjoyed these two a lot! It's refreshing to have good D12 characters.

I'm confused with the Lockweed kid. I need some clarity if his name is Urial, Uriel, or Arthur. I'm gonna call him Lockweed in the meantime, because I'm pretty sure that's correct at least, and it's not a bad name to just cringe over or get confused over someone else like a more common surname. Anyway, Lockweed seems like the typical Canadian: "Sorry." It's all over him. Imagine blindsiding someone then saying sorry as they exit. Also imagine when the last word he hears from someone who voted him out is, "Sorry." XD This is gonna be fun. It's such an easy concept for a character yet I didn't think of it. Funny how his uncle talked to him about an instant kill technique. I don't know how true it is, but at least it sounds funny right now.

Anne hates crowds, okay. She's always hungry, uhuh. Makes sense in D12. She eats garbage. Oh. Ew. Then again, she's always hungry and lives in D12, so I get why. She has natural survival instincts, which can play as an advantage in Survivor depending how much food is provided to them. Edge of Extinction? Oh she's used to the food condition. She hates crowds though. She wants to avoid people. She's done for unless someone takes her as a goat to the end. She isn't physical either. I don't see her going far unless she has at least one awesome ally.

The escort's name though. :l At least she smells good lol.

Normally, I'd name my favorites here, but due to the nature of this story, I'm not gonna, at least not publicly hehe. Hmmm... I feel like I'm forgetting something, but that's about it for now.

OwOwOwO!

-District 12-
Urial - Thats his thing... Yeah, that got old with one character from my SYOT and it's not funny here. Hope he stops apologizing, even Canadians would cringe from Urial.

Anne - I'd pity anyone with a last name like hers. She appears to be self-conscious and scared of crowds but showed some kindness or kinship from the equally or more nervous Urial.

-District 11-
Florian: So, your friend Ryan gets a pass and proceeds to spank you(is this real? Am I on drugs?). That's actually the most uncomfortable thing thing here, I mean, I'd hate that. Everyone I know would certainly that hate it. Oh yeah... And Florian is coming out of the closet. That's good, and I still don't like your friend Ryan for reason.

Fleur: What kind of mystical voodoo bullshit is this?! I blame the French for this(no reason in particular, I just do). I mean, she sounds original and interesting, but she creeps me out and confuses me more.

-District 10-
Bran - So he's a bit of an arrogant blowhard who's family was the richest but then got burned down... Wait a fucking minute! Sorry, Bran isn't Lavern, he seems nicer, but I can't help but see some similarities.

Urie: She just seems... Like a cowgirl. A nice lady with a good work ethic, for the most part, however I can only remember her as the cow girl.

-District 9-
Ryelie: I'm just sad now. Looks like she's lived a tough life.

Keaton: I like him. Introverted, shy, and well, he's a little kid. Looks like District 9 has the short stick here, but he dyed his hair purple and that means I respect him.

Uriel: He really reminds me of a typical Midwestern kid. We're always saying Sorry and Ope for things that aren't really our fault here in the center of the US. I love everything about him, from trying to impress kids by telling him his uncle taught him a instant killing move to day dreaming and saying he's sorry on stage. Best of all was when he said he was a big kid but all the other kids are bigger kids. Oh and the future me thing, I say that all the time. That must be why I like him, I see a lot of myself in him.

Oh also, I noticed his name reads as Arthur Lockweed in your profile. Not sure if that was on purpose or not

Anne: She was a really fun read. She's so twitchy and her senses seem so strong. All of her descriptions were hilarious. I wonder if she'll be able to smell betrayal from a ways away too. The scene on stage was so funny. Picturing it was probably my favorite part of all 12 reapings. One girl who's throwing up in her mouth and a guy who's daydreaming and not paying any attention to the escort. Oh also interesting that she has the least Latina name I've ever heard a Latina have.

I hope Ryelie has some allies in the arena, so that she doesn't have to be alone.
Oh no, Keaton's only twelve! I'm nervous for him.

I like these one-shots before the reapings, but the only problem is it gives us a chance to get attached to tributes! I like Seibold, and I want to know more about his training in ballroom dancing.
I feel bad for Damask, and for her sister Dimity.

Oooo, Silas's bit is action-packed! I wonder what happens with the fire?
Oh my stars! Dafne is an assassin! Since she is an experienced killer I wonder if she'll ally with the Careers.

Daveth! His storyline is so intriguing and his ambitions too. I love that he's an actor! We'll see how he takes those skills into the Games and Survivor aspects.
It's cool to see Makenna's perception of the reaping and how she can't be terrified all the time. Obviously, it's sad because this time she does get reaped.

I'm curious to learn more about Bran. . .
Yay, Urie! That was such a sweet one-shot.

I gotta catch up, I'll do this chapter now and the next one later today. I'm excited we're through the reapings!

Florian: I don't mean to sound judgey or anything but regardless of gender or identity, lipstick shouldn't give you power nor should any makeup. The happiest and most beautiful people I know are happiest and looking best without makeup but maybe that's just my world view and I love simplicity. I do hope his parents get along and accept him but I'm not a fan of several things about him. The other being that he lets his friend call him homo when they're alone but not around others. That's odd, but maybe I read that wrong.

Fleur: Wow this was interesting and completely unexpected. I haven't seen any characters with this kind of region and rituals on this site. Rituals are super creepy to me and although I enjoy reading about this it doesn't make her one of my favorites for sure. She'd have been wise to not embrace her momma's voodoo and taking revenge on people really never seems to work out well for anyone. That being said, I'm pretty sure she'd be a strong tribute in the regular games. She might go far in these too, who knows.
