                         Training Day 2

Right in the Kisser ( ❦ )

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as I look around in the Biomesimulator. The area around me was beautiful, much like what one would expect a rain forest to look like. I spent the next few hours learning different ways to survive in different climates, how to hunt different animals and many other things. This might be the most useful training I’ve done so far.

There was no telling whether or not Angel would be blessed with any kind of weapon in the Arena, so she thought it was best to learn how to attack as well as defend with only her hands and feet. 

Spotting the empty Unarmed Station, Angel was quick to call it her own, not planning on sharing with any Tribute whatsoever. She wrapped some sort of fabric around her knuckles, eyeing the Trainer in front of her. Hailing from the Peacekeeper District, she knew a thing or two about fighting, at least more than the Outliers. However, Angel preferred having daggers or what Gattin called a “coward’s weapon of choice” in her possession. 

Rinse and repeat, darlin. Train, think about home, grow a little bit too emotional, remind myself why I here, sleep, dream about home, grow a little bit too emotional in my sleep, wake up n remind myself why I am here train, think about home... Truth is there’s not much time before the Arena and all that means for me is not much time to find the right person. Cale would’ve been so much better than this than me. But God has a plan, right? I told myself that. 

Early mornin I ate breakfast, lack of appetite and all, and then I went to the training center. I was indifferent to the addition of new stations. The touch tunnel looked frightening but I was intrigued. Maybe the lull in my mood was coaxing to me to dabble in the unknown - the last time I felt like this it got me in trouble. So I didn’ take more than a half glance at the thing and went some place where my heart felt more clean. 

The biome simulator was a work a technology I never imagined seein’ in my life. But I stood there and the instructor asked me what biome I wanted, and I shrugged because I didn’t want to be there. Or anywhere for that matter. I wanted to be home. And then I was on a beach.

There was a breeze blowin’ and I could hear waves.. I felt my attitude relax to somethin’ more like the usual me and I laughed... I spun around in circles feelin’ the wind blow, and when I stopped, still smilin’ there was a boy entering the biome. I looked at the instructor, who provided nothin’ really. Just stood near the panel on the wall swingin a chain. So I met the boy half, covering my heart with my hands and lower my head when he was close enough. 

After the spectacle that was the collective district Twelve training session yesterday, Ximena had gone straight to her room. Between Ajax’s revelation and Ester’s willingness for sacrifice she really didn’t want to see either of them. The two of them together were enough to have Ximena’s anxiety running through the roof. 

When she wakes, she finds the suite completely silent, which suits her perfectly. Dressing quickly, she tosses her two tone hair up in a bun and steps into the elevator before anyone can catch her. Training doesn’t formally start for another hour or so but the training centre is open all the same. Apparently running was supposed to be cathartic for people under stress so it was worth a shot.

Mandatory Task: T R A I N I N G  D A Y  #2

Welcome to your second day of training. As with day one, you are required to train at a minimum of two stations, and are free to interact in your suites, the roof, cafeteria and lobby. 

As you enter the training center you find three new stations available to you, as well as one of your Game Makers, Gattin Sykes on the training room floor. If you would like to para with your Game Maker send a message to the main and post a starter.

Reminder: We are still accepting sponsor appeals and will continue to do so until the conclusion of public training. At the moment we have received one appeal.

You have 3 OOC days to complete your second day of training, due by Thursday, October 29th at 11:59pm PST. Tag all oneshots and paras as acttraining2. 

If you have not done so, please post your status update for day 1 before beginning your second day of training.
