Great.

It was just another reason why the world was awful. We all just sat complacently and let the Capitol shuffle us off to die. What could we do about it? Not much at all. I vaguely wondered where my district partner was as I sat in the train with Bellepheron. His curly lavender hair seemed almost fluorescent, even crystalline. It wasn't though, because it moved like hair would. Golden stars twinkled in it, and I rolled my eyes. Typical Capitolite flaunting the wealth they hoarded from us. I waited for him to spout the predictable crap about how lucky I was to get this opportunity, but it never came. He gave me a confident smile, and waved.

"Hi, I'm Bellepheron, and I am your Capitol Assigned Mentor and Escort. I will be available during your time in the Capitol to help with anything you may need."

"Can you throw me out the window? I think we're on a bridge over a canyon."

Bellerophon paused.

"What?"

"I asked if you would be so kind as to help me hurl myself off the bridge and into the canyon."

"Uhmmm… I think I should check with my supervisor, and I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Somehow that was harder to respond to than a yes or a no. And the look on his face told me he knew that.

What was it with the tributes this year? They all seemed to have almost come from different universes or something.

I didn't know the other ones as well, but I was pretty confident I had the worst two. One of them literally wanted to die, which was awful, mostly for him but also me if something happened. The other one… I didn't even know. Half the time she seemed perfectly normal, but the rest of the time she was very erratic, loud, vulgar, and somehow had a thick German accent. I was trying to help her, but she had a lot of choice things to say about me and eventually I gave up. Morty would never guess it, but I knew how he felt, though not to the degree he was feeling. I would have to put my effort into helping him before the games, and hope for the best with Samantha.

Short lil chapter to round it out. You have almost certainly noticed Samantha is not featured much. For personal reasons, I have decided to go this route with the story. Sorry if ur a Samantha stan. Check out the other Organized Chaos's for that. Next up we might have an interlude, we might have the main train rides, we might have training, we might have the parade, IDK.
