Let Me Axe You a Question // Finn + Blaire // Axes

This day was getting long but it was the last day of training and I needed to get whatever I could under my belt. I saw the axes and shrugged thinking that I should as well try them out. I saw a girl standing there I knew rather well and I walked up behind her and covered her eyes being playful. "Guess who?" I said with a slight laugh.

Bullseye! | Blaise + Harlequin

Darts. I chewed on my lip, figuring out if it was worth the effort. After all, even if there were darts in the cornucopia, I wasn't sure I'd honestly try and get them. There was a limit to their usefulness. At the same time, I was good with throwing knifes, and they had to be at least distantly related. Kind of. I shrugged and walked into the station, grabbing a handful of the darts and moving into position. I heard a voice telling me to move out of the way, and realised I was right in someone else's line of aim.

"My bad.." I said, stepping out of the way and moving up beside him. "Go on then, let's see what you got."

Shooting The Bull // Finn + Scarlet // Bows and Arrows

Spears was something different, something I wasn't used to really. I saw the bows and arrows station and knew I didn't get much training there and wouldn't mind some more there because I knew there would be bows and arrows there most likely. I picked up the bow I used last time and put an arrow in it and shot, hitting the dummy in the shoulder. Well I'm glad I'm back here. Suddenly I heard a voice behind me and I turned around to see Scarlet standing behind me.

Let Me See Your Axe Wound | Blaise + Izara

Having trouble deciding which station to head to, it was the tribute at the axes that decided for me. I recognised her from the day before, having seen her talking to another tribute. I didn't know her name, but she was from district two. Or, in other words, a career. Finally, somebody might actually show some desire to be here. I didn't hesitate before heading over, and picking up one of the axes.

"Mind if I join you?" I asked, though my actions clearly indicated it was rhetorical. Whether she liked it or not, I'd be there for a while.

Spear me // Finn + Harlequin // Spears

Relaxing at the slingshot place wasn't that bad. It gave me time to relax and gather my breath back as I walked around the training area everything was still black and I wondered how long they were actually going to keep up with this. Maybe it's a long hint on what was in the arena. I saw a tribute at the spears and didn't know who they were actually. I walked up beside them and picked up a spear, "Have you ever done this before? Throwing the spears."

Ready, Aim, Fire | Blaise + Finn

Arriving into the training centre on the final day of training, a smile formed across my face as I realised every station from the last few days had returned. Without hesitation, I headed to the one I'd most wanted to do before but hadn't got a chance; slingshots. I headed over and picked one up. People in eleven occasionally used them to shoot birds and other animals away from food growing up in the trees, but having never had the chance to work like most people had, I didn't have the experience in them that many in eleven had.

I'd used them before when I was trying to train myself, but not enough to feel particularly confident. I leant over and picked one up, a sleek, metallic object so different to the wooden ones abundant at home. I wrapped my fingers around it, feeling its unfamiliar weight, before searching for ammunition. Looking around, I saw a tribute I'd yet to meet holding it.

"Are you using that?" I asked, cursing the fact I had to share the training centre with other tributes at all.
