Junko 2,815 Posted March 11, 2012 Miki walked into a room where her stylists where waiting for her. A woman that looked like she was in her middle 20s and had flowing black hair walked up to Miki and shook her hand. "Hi. Im Bella and you must be Miki." She said energetically and pointed to the other two women that looked slightly older than her. "And the brown haired one is Sasha and the redhead is Tori. Now come on, we got work to do." Bella gave Miki a small nudge forward and she follwed Bella. ~later~ Miki was now in a robe and sitting on a chair. She muttered something as she couldnt keep her legs from twiching since the stings from all that waxing wouldnt go away. Ow..., she thougnt as she rubbed her now hairless legs. Tori, who left the room to get something, came back with a pink, purple and white flowing dress. "I think this will fit you perfectlu." She said and slipped the dress on Miki. Woah, she thought and twirled around in it. "Dont forget this."Sasha said as she walked over with Miki's necklace and put it on her. Bella gave a huge smile, admring the dress. "Dont forget to kncok 'em dead." She said to Miki. Miki looked down at the dress on her again. I feel like im in a cloud, she thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo 69 Posted March 12, 2012 Ebony nodded wondering what torture he had in mind. " Ebony, distict 7." She said flatlywatching him as he looked her over. " Tall..... Thin....." She could here him murmmering then he walked closer and felt her arm. " Good tone, I know just the thing." Gavin said snapping his fingers and dissapearing again. Ebony looked over t the two assistants, they seemed to have calmed down and were preapring their tools of torture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XIIISwords 1,059 Posted March 12, 2012 OOC: Sorry, I was away. So we're at the styist visits? Rereading posts and adding to mine... Achilles walked into the waiting room and saw Soul sitting. He chose not to approach him and walked over to a window, reflecting on his stylist. She was young, maybe my age. Her name was Emma. She seemed energetic and friendly. From the Capitol probably. She immediately clasped my hands and claimed to know exactly what I would look good in. Emma gave me green and black camo, khaki-style pants and a camo vest over my brown undershirt. And looking at Soul, they had the same idea in mind. Achilles took another look at Soul. What is his motive? He does want to fight me, but why before the arena? Injure me prematurely? Nah, he'd be punished. Analyse my weaknesses? Probably. I'm bigger and tougher than him, but he could be crafty. Better play it safe. "So, Soul, our stylists had the same idea, didn't they," he said almost nonchalantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naegi 149 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Behind the black cloak was a white dress and when Yuko put the dress on her, she realized the dress was the softest thing she ever wore. It was like a pillow on your body. "Soft right?" Yuko said as if she'd read her mind. "Made out of sheep fur." The front part of the dress went down to her knees while the back part touched the back of her feet. Yuko got a guy with blue hair to curl her hair, while Yuko put some white powder on her face making Melody's face angel-like. Then Yuko gave her white high heel shoes, and finally, accessories. "Beautiful!" Yuko said after she was finish. "You'll charm the crowd!" Melody looked at herself in the mirror, "Wow." Was all she could say.

Namine` 28 Posted March 12, 2012 The door swung open, and three of those ridiculous looking Capitol people walked in. They were three women, probably in their 30's, all dressed in their own basic color scheme. The one who was dressed in blue and yellow turned to me and smiled. "Hello, I am Cybele, your hair stylist, this is Yaminah, your nail stylist, and Rena, who will do the waxing." Cybele instructed me to lie on the bed, and I decided to follow my mentor's advice. Rena began waxing my arms, and bit back all the insults I wanted to hurl at them, and swallowed all he moans of pain. I just squeezed my eyes shut and prayed for it to end. When she finished, Yaminah began filing away at my nails, shaping them to perfect ovals. She began to paint them the same gold color of the headress. Cybele curled my hair with something they called a curling iron, making it flow down my back. Cybele helped me into the dress, and told me to wait here until Orchid came back. I looked in the mirror and spun around a little. Well, they certainly can do their job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Ace 1 Posted March 12, 2012 soul smiled and said "well, I guess I couldn't blame them after all,we are from the weapon district and also,that look in your eye and your expression tells me that you're wondering why I asked to fight you..." he continued "it's because when I'm in the arena,i need someone to back me up and I want to make sure that if we were to form an alliance that you wouldn't be dead eight and someone I have to protect".he had stopped talking and started thinking about Robyn.he wondered what would happen if she saw him die,it's kinda funny, I had such a good time and now i have to kill people soul sighed why are the capitol people assholes who want to see us fight for entertainment,it's sick.soul thought to himself."it's almost time for the chariots,right?"he asked achilles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Always 309 Posted March 12, 2012 Helen examined Golden's body up and down, taking in her height, her proportions, even running her long-nailed fingers through Golden's hair to get a sense of its length and texture. Helen then stepped back and ran her fingers through her own hair thoughtfully. Golden took this pregnant moment to take in her stylist's features: bright pink hair in a pixie cut, ghostly pale skin, amethyst irises, dark eye shadow and lipstick. She wore several accessories around her wrists, fingers, neck, and bare ankles. Her tall, platform shoes had unbelievably high heels, and Golden had seen some pretty high heels where she cam from. Her clothes were interesting, too: short, neon green skirt and white, loose-fitting, button-up shirt that was sheer in the back and shone iridescent when it caught the light. Golden took all of this in within a second, and kept her expression blank and unimpressed, though she was anything but unimpressed. Helen nodded, satisfied. “Well, you're just what I was expecting. I shouldn't need to make any alterations.” Golden scowled. Just what she expected? What was that supposed to mean? Helen gestured to one of the prep team men, and he went directly to the closet and brought out Golden's garment and quickly put it on her. Helen and the prep team then spent the next hour accessorizing and putting make-up on Golden, then painting her nails and doing her hair. When Golden was finally able to look in the mirror, she nearly gasped. Her dress was a metallic gold and shimmered iridescent in the light, much like Helen's top, except more noticeable. She was adorned with gems of every color on her wrists, around her neck, and throughout her elaborately done hair. Her make-up could only be described as mature and seductive, and her shoes had sky-rocketing heels, though not quite as high as Helen's. Golden looked over at Helen and could see a smug look on her face, as if she had caught her at something. Golden realized that she had let her guard down and wasn't able to keep the amazement from her face. She quickly went back to her signature nonchalant look, turned her eyes away then mumbled, “Thanks.” “You'll look great out there,” Helen said in her Capitol accent.

XIIISwords 1,059 Posted March 12, 2012 "Yep, sounds about right," Achilles said. "We'll sort this out some other time. Trust me, I can fight, but how about you?" He's looking to form another one of the Career groups. There is strength in that, so it would be beneficial to both us and those from Districts 1 and 4. Veiling his planning, Achilles began speaking of the chariots. "So, the interview is after the chariots. Do you think your ready?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Ace 1 Posted March 12, 2012 Soul smiled "Achilles,I can fight and I can act,being innocent in front of people when you commit a crime is easy,especially when you're a peacekeepers son". Soul wondered what they would have to do on the chariots.last year,all of the tributes had to hold hands,smile and wave.the idea of soul smiling and waving,as well as holding hands with Achilles made him laugh uncontrollably.soul felt a little dizzy from laughing and sat down.a few minutes later,he stood up to go to the water fountain and drink.

Namine` 28 Posted March 12, 2012 Orchid came back into the room, and smiled approvingly. "You look gorgeous, Keithia." she complimented. "Okay, when Gavin is done with Ebony, you'll both go onto the chariots, and try to make an impression on the citizens of the Capitol. After that, its the interviews and training. You'll need to have something to remeber you by. Whether its your kindness or charm, you have to make an impression." Orchid left, with me wishing she had been my mentor instead of those two bickering adults. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TripleNipple 308 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) My prep team comes in. "Dark skin!" "Yellow teeth!" "Skinny bones!" "Weird eyes!" "Wow! You don't have any hair on your face, arms, or legs at all!" Those are the only things my prep team tells me. "Hold this..." one of the men say. He has white hair, but still looks really young. He hands me a kama (a type of sickle). "Perfect!" The prep team puts some kind of powder on my skin, making it look whiter. They brush my teeth, compliment me on my eyebrows, and plucks each of my eyelashes out. "Ouch!" I yell. I feel tears coming out. IT HURTS. Once I'm done, they sit me on a chair. They give me a haircut. I have bangs now. Great. Once I've been tended, I exit out of the room. I look in a mirror. Wow. I look like a rich farmer. I don't have my glasses anymore, my skin looks a bit whiter, my eyelashes are gone, my teeth are white and straightened, I have bangs, and I'm holding onto a kama. I go outside. I see the other tributes. The ones I have to kill later. Edited March 13, 2012 by solantap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo 69 Posted March 13, 2012 Ebony was told to sit in a chair while on of the capital idiots waxed her legs and arms even her stomach. She didn't hold back from yelling obscenities after every pull.She capital girls were quite used to this by now and went on with their usless chatter. I'll kill the capital for doing this to me. She htought and one of the women took her hand and filed her nails as the other made her firey red hair even straighter than it already was. She heard comments here and there like, " Such fair skin," Or " Look at the color of this hair!" Ebony sighed and relaxed a little her body tiggling with the loss of hair. Once there were done and Ebony was back in her robe Gavin came back in and looked her over once more. He pulled out a dark green dress the color of the pine needles at home, but it had hints of gold in the fabric. Once of the dress hugged her upper body then spread out almost like a trunk of a tree. Gavin nodded, " Alright Ebony, go join Keithia and best of luck." Ebony nodded and ran over, or what she could do which was lift the dress up and do a sort of trot, then tapped Keithia on the shoulder. " You ready?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XIIISwords 1,059 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Achilles sighed. The interview is going to be harder than even the test. I'm sure I can impress with my marksmanship, but who is going to want to hear from a victor's little brother? I hope they don't ask excessively about him. I hate his guts anyway. Achilles frowned and looked at Soul. "Hey, any tips for the interview? Because honestly, if they mention my brother again I'm going to strangle someone."

Namine` 28 Posted March 13, 2012 Keithia turned to look at Ebony, and managed a smile. "Yeah." She clutched the small heart so tight she was begining to worry if she would start bleeding. Keithia took a deep breath and climbed into their chariot. Time to make an impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naegi 149 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Melody took out her father's gold pocket watch and check the time. It was almost time. "Do you want to have that around you for the ceremony?" Yuko asked. "Yes but how?" She asked. "Simple." Yuko grabbed a big yellow ribbon and tied it around her waist, next she took the pocket watch and after a few minutes, the pocket watch was hanging loosely from the ribbon. "Now let's get this show on the road!" Yuko squealed. Edited March 13, 2012 by Sammy Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JesusFreak 41 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Luckily for Sara, she didn't need much prepping so it wasn't long before her stylist had met her and started looking her over. "Hmm, I think I know just the thing for you." Her stylist, Benjamin snapped his fingers and some rather ridiculous looking girls came running over with something. Probably my dress. Sara thought as she boringly watched the two girls fix her hair and help her into the dress. I have to admit the dress is pretty gorgeous. No stop it. I'm not letting them get the satisfaction of anything. She thought as she took a glance in the mirror. The dress was entirely black yet glimmered in red whenever Sara moved into the light. Her family would be extremely surprised as Sara wasn't one for dressy attire. Benjamin came back and looked her over again, "Yes, perfect. Just as I imagined it. Will you be wearing that gorgeous necklace?" Sara nodded, "Yes, I am. Are we done yet?" "Very well. Yes, yes,off you go to the chariots. Make a good impression now." Sara went over to the chariots and got into hers. This will be easy..it's the interview I'm a bit worried about. She thought as she waited for the chariot to go. OOC: Sorry I hadn't posted!

TripleNipple 308 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) (Wait, are we doing the interviews, or the chariot ride O_O Can someone tell me? sorry I'm lost. If we are doing the interviews, who's interviewing us? Caeser?) Edited March 13, 2012 by solantap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Always 309 Posted March 13, 2012 (Yeah, I'm a little confused on that, too. I thought the interviews weren't supposed to be until later? I mean, I don't mind if we condense the story a bit to get the action going sooner, but are we trying to do that or stay true to the book?) Golden soon found Sara, who was already in their chariot, waiting to take off. She assumed her position next to Sara without saying anything. Well, at least the girl finally wears something decent, she thought. She gazed straight ahead, offering her I'm-better-than-all-of-you-pathetic-beings expression for the crowd they were about to be revealed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aqua's Heart 2 Posted March 13, 2012 I was waiting by my chariot for the other tributes admiring my new dress. My clothing stylist Bobina gave me a emerald-green top that felt like silk and a long skirt that reached my ankles. It made me feel as light as air. The long skirt I wore had small yellow ruffles every where that were almost shaped as corn (argiculter district) on my dress. And I wore and headband on my head that had an assortment of berries fruit exc. It looked like I had a cornucopia on my head. Bobina said I could be called Mother Nature cause of my "Child Care" backround and the district I'm from. My shoes were green sandels that straped up to my knees even though you couldn't see them because of my long dress. Some of the people from the districts were starting to trickle in. I sighed deeply lets just get this over with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junko 2,815 Posted March 13, 2012 Miki walked out towards her chariot. The chariot looked somewhat related to her dress. Cool, she thought as she rubbed her hand on it. She could hear cheering where the crowd was. They must be waiting to see me get killed, she thought as she kept staring at the chariot. Knock em dead. Miki looked around and saw the other tributes are fancied up in their dresses. All that's left is the interview, then the games, she thought and sighed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TripleNipple 308 Posted March 13, 2012 I walk up to the chariot. I don't see Melody yet. My bangs are hiding my eyes. I brush them away. That can get annoying... I think. I take take out my glasses. OR at least try to. I forget that I have contacts now. I jab my eyes. The Capitol laughs. I give a sheepish smile. I can feel my face turn red. Oh God, why. Where's Melody!? I think. I'm really impatient. I hope that the chariots will go soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echo 69 Posted March 13, 2012 Ebony sighs and looks over at the chariot then peaks out catching a glimps of the crowd. " Why are there so many people here to see a couple chariots ride around in a cirlce?" She asked more to herself than to Keithia. " I just want to get this over with..." Ebony mummbled leaning against the chariot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
