Snippet #1984468

As Luster waved to the crowds of the capitol, he couldn't help but remember where all of his newfound fame had started, right at the reaping in district one. Nobody dared to volunteer for Luster, for fear that if they did win, their skulls would be bashed into their bodies when they got home.

The train ride was short but sweet, and meeting the stylists was even sweeter. Leo (Luster's nickname) and Diamond had become buddies or "chums" as they called it. They talked about what they would do during the games and how they would find unique ways to kill each individual from each district. Leo got a laugh out of the thoughts of burying the district 6 boy alive, tying the district 5 girl to a tree (if there were any) and throwing knives at her heart, and burning the district 11 boy alive. Leo had a feeling he would get the most parachutes. He just knew he was that strong and powerful.

Leo laughed when he saw that the district one costume would represent a diamond. He almost felt bad for his female partner. She must've been embarassed. Leo had to wear a jumpsuit with many sequins, rhinestones, and glitter. His face was also covered with paint that sparkled like his jumpsuit. The costume was complete with a diamond headress.

During the parade, Leo could barely make out the other district's costumes. Leo didn't want to admit it, but he was a tad bit jealous of district 9's costumes. the scythes were amazing. But what was district 12's costumes about? District twelve was not about angels and devils, it was about dirty disgusting blobs of coal. If anything, the tributes in district 12 shoud've been painted all black.

When the parade was over, Leo showered, watched some tv, and went to bad with good dreams. (most having to do with eternal glory)

When Leo woke up, he made his way to the dining area of district 1's small apartment. Back in the day there weren't many, but there were still some Avoxes. Leo pointed to one and shouted at her, "You, get me some breakfast!!!" Leo sat at the table, not expecting Diamond, and chugged down his breakfast, making a mess. Even though he was from district 1, Leo knew that capitol food was the best.

Later, Leo got into his black and red suit, and headed down the elevator to the training room. He stood in the middle of the room, waiting for the tributes from 2 and 4, his partners in crime during the games.
