A minute later

She walked out of the train, and she was immediately engaged by many capitol citizens and she just smiled and grinned, feeling uncomfortable by their sense of closeness and lack of giving space to people. Corick walked in front of them and shoo'd a few wild capitol citizens away from him. After the short walk they reached the twelve story tower that they'd be spending the next few days in, They stepped into the elevator and Corick pressed the button and looked at the two tributes, "The parade is tonight. Just keep calm and try not to get too stressed about attaining sponsors." Gavin shrugged indiferently since anyone in their right mind would probably sponsor him, but Ursula took his words to heart. They soon reached the door to their quarters and Corick opened the door, the inside was amazing the table was adorned with fruit and a prepared meal. Ursula Immediately walked to the table and grabbed an apple and began chewing on it. They spent the next few hours getting acquainted with their room before the stylists came and picked up both tributes.

She walked with the stylists whose name was Deona. She led Ursula to a room full of makeup and a few assistants, she sat her down in a chair and began to wash her hair and slather it in a very strange scented shampoo that will increase the shine of your hair. After the hair ordeal she moved onto something Ursula was way more fond of, makeup. Her mother was a wealthy socialite whose corset was way too tight, so of course she'd been dressed up and flaunted around before. After a few minutes of makeup, she moved on to deciding an outfit for her. She decided on a very revealing femme fatale version of a peacekeeper outfit and Gavin was wearing the male version. She didn't want the angle of the beautiful dumb blonde but at the rate that the stylist was going that'd soon be her fate. Deona looked at her one last time and showed her the mirror. "You look fabulous, you are sure to leave an image in the president's mind, and most of all any sponsors." Ursula blushed slightly, "you are way too nice, Deona." Deona grinned and flipped on the television in the room, and it showed recaps of all the reapings.

Many of these tributes intrigued Ursula, but she knew that the older tributes were going to be the easiest targets for her. She grinned and looked at Deona, "I think that I have as good of a shot as anyone." She nodded back, "you'll do well, dear. Now the parade is starting in less than twenty minutes. Let's go get you and your partner saddled.

After a few minutes of navigating corridors they finally reached the tunnel where their chariot was. She saw the tributes from district one wearing some kind of very expensive looking furs. She stared for a few more seconds than appropriate and the male from one immediately looked at her and gave her a slight wink, she quickly looked away towards Gavin who was busy sizing up the fellow competitors. Finally a voice came on over the intercom, "every tribute report to your chariot." Ursula and Gavin climbed into the chariot and stood silently as their chariot slowly reached the edge of the tunnel then it emerged from the tunnel, and the crowd busted out in a mixture of applause and perverted whistling. Ursula just smiled as genuinely as possible and waved to the crowd and blew kisses to them. Gavin looked at the crowd and began laughing loudly and he pointed towards the losers from district three, who were dressed up in a rust colored outfit with gears on it. Ursula kept her eyes on the crowd, but she slammed her elbow into his ribs and whispered. "Don't make enemies this early on. I care about you." Their ride felt slower than it really was, soon they reached the tunnel and they dismounted the chariot.

They were immediately led back to their room and they slept... ready for their first training day tomorrow.
