I'll be with Zara for the transport and all of the last minute preparations, but I wanted to tell you both how proud I am of you. You did well. Never doubt that you can do this, and I'm honored to have had a hand in dressing you.

Stay alive, babies. I'm sorry you had to be here, but you've made the best of it so far. Keep doing so.

Just making sure that you do know you'll be seeing Luc off tomorrow. And lovely as you are, we do want the poor boy to be able to focus, so you might consider wearing something other than lingerie.

I hope Felix and Cintha managed to smuggle the flowers in to you. Good luck tomorrow.

Good luck to all our Tributes, and here's to another year, and another Games.

How goes Training? You both did well at the parade, and every time I've seen you since. I know it's overwhelming, but you're handling it with grace.

Zara, I'm going to come by your room after training tomorrow to check a color against your skin. I know you'll be tired, I promise to be quick.

Any thoughts on interviews, loves? I was going to go a bit simple with Zara, after the drama of the parade, and let her be pretty, but not in a distinctly feminine way. 1 is already playing up their pretty blond that way, I don't want to put Zara up in direct comparison.

But if you have an angle you're looking to play, I'm happy to accommodate whatever will work best for them. For our boy, as well. I somehow don't think Adorabella is going to be terribly proactive.

How would any of you feel about doing me a small favor? I have some of Paisley's favorite flowers that I put out for her last year, and thought Russell might like to see them. Would you mind slipping a few to him for me?

So many new faces this year. Welcome to the Games, all of you. Much as I can play welcome wagon. And good luck to our Tributes and their mentors. Except for you Careers, I doubt you need it. Just opportunity.

I saw the Reapings, sweetlings. I'm sorry about Paisley's brother. Maybe he'll have a better chance than she had.

You don't know me, but my name is Dray, and I was the Stylist for 8 last year. I had a chance to talk with your sister a good bit, while she was with us. She was a lovely soul, inside and out. I'm sorry the Odds brought you to the Capitol too.

You needn't answer, I just wanted you to know there's a few people outside of 8 who will be rooting for you, and for your family, too.

[Locked to District 8]
I'll miss you, babies, but the powers that be have decided that I should step into Tacita's shoes in three. So good luck next year. I hope the Odds are kinder.

[Locked to District 3]
It looks like the talented Miss Tacita has vanished stepped down, so I'll be styling for you next year. If there's anything you'd like me to know about your preferences, and how much you'd like to be dressed during your Games duties, then I'm all ears.

How are you holding up, Surah? I'm sorry, he was a sweet thing.

Are you planning to throw in the towel, or try to help the teams for the little girl or the 12 boy?
[/Locked to 8]

An awful eventful few days all around, wasn't it?

[Locked to Stylists/Escorts, Minus Shynnah]
Not that I enjoy the pain of others - but how much of a show did I miss when Shynnah lost her boy?

They were taking their time, but things seem to be coming faster, now. Who knows the stats on the longest Games so far? Lets hope these don't compete. I don't know how long he'll last. If that girl gets sicker and dies, her hulking Tribute partner has no reason not to pick off the smaller ones, unless 12 takes him out first. She's keeping him at bay too, I think.

[Locked to District 8]
Between the cuddling, the reactions to the gifts, and falling in a hole, I just want to invade the Arena and hug him.

Surah, what do you think of the 12 boy? I don't trust him after that score, and with Mad Dog coaching him. Neither of those children are prepared to handle that kind of threat.
[/Locked to District 8]

All of the suspense and drama in the Arena, and sometimes I still think the real killer instincts are in fashion. One more word about Paisley, and I'll find a way to stab out Typher's eyes with safety pins.

[Locked to 8]
Part of the game it may be, but I can't say I'm not going to be satisfied if that 4 girl doesn't come out on top.

Though she may have done our girl a favor - I think it was gentler she wasn't aware before the end.

And for a moment there, I was afraid things might be routine. But then 7 surprised us all, and the Gamemakers followed up by sweeping it all away. It was a flashy start, kudos to the Gamemakers. Sadistic bastards.
