Elita looked at her, "Before my dad had died, he taught me this." She painted on the girl's hand with light brushstrokes. "The better it is when you go softly so the paint won't smudge." She said simply.

"Elita, District 6." Elita answered simply continuing to paint her arm like moss. "Welcome, its my thing to help." She said simply once more.
Sicily decided it was rime ro try fire making though she'd have to be careful about when she used it and how big in the games, she also needed to make sure that she didn't freeze. She decided to work with a basic tipi fire. Sici placed some dry pine needles as her kindling and stacked the smaller branches in a tipi. Then did the same with bigger and bigger branches on top of that.
Felix trudged into the training centre, yawning. He wandered over to the knices station and threw one experimently. He gave a short laugh as he was way off target. He had been aiming for the gut, not it's face. "Not for me, are ya?"

"Yeah. You?" Kaiden asked. Of course, coming off as far too nosy wouldn't be a good thing, but he didn't let his guard down.

((I looked for her account but it is erased.))
James walked up to the ropes course, "Better learn how to climb..." He mumbled to himself. He grabbed onto the large, rope net and began to climb up it. He missed his footing on his left foot and nearly fell to the pads below, "Shit." as he was looking down at his foot trying to get it into a foothold he missed a piece of rope with his hand and fell to the pads.
Elita chuckled at sight and climbed up the rope without falling. "Easy." She said simply with a cheeky grin.
James stood up and rubbed his arm. He looked up at her, shook his head and began climbing again. He moved over a few feet from her to reduce the chance of him talking to her. He missed another foothold, this time he got it back in place before trying to continue.
Elita pulled the dagger off her belt and tried to cut the rope so she could loosen it.
"Hey! What do you think your doing!?" He shouted up at her.
Catt shrugged. "Maybe if I saw you do it..." She trailed off, she looked at the course with a worried expression. She hoped she was playing her part well. She took another glance at the boy in front off her. She though he was pretty cute, she found herself wonder how old he was.
Elita smirked and when the rope was thin enough she climbed to the top and cuts the rest. She loved annoyng boys a lot.
The rope quickly lost slack, he lost his grip and fell back down to the mats. He landed on his back and he coughed blood at the impact.(Yes, that can actually happen.))
Elita jumped down and came to him, "I'm so sorry I was just having fun..." She murmured giving him a water bottle.
He spit the rest of the blood out of his mouth as he took the water bottle, "Thats what i get for not being able to climb..." He said quietly. He drank from the bottle, screwed the cap back on and put it back on the ground.
((It was a gauntlet I just typed water bottle though))
Elita rolled her eyes and put the dagger away in her pocket.

((Gauntlet? like the glove?))"Well, thanks for the water... I should probably try to practice what i am good at..." He says as he began to stand. He quickly sat back down with a grunt, he grabbed at his back and tried to stand once more, success.
((A water gauntlet from...the old age))
Elita continued hand stared at the stands. She cursed loudly at them and noticed they didn't hear.

((like a canteen?))He began to walk over to the swimming area, "You any good at swimming?" he slowly asked.
Elita looked at him. "Yeah my parents were old victors."
"Cool..." He said as he lowered himself into the water.

Oh, there was something dreadfully wrong, and he knew it all too well. "Maybe. I'm going to do it right now, anyways, maybe in a few minutes though." He had to find out more about the girl in order for him to make wise actions around her. "Anyways, what district are you from?"

Elita walked away out of interest and decided to shoot some arrows instead.
He began swimming laps, often diving to the bottom of the pool and then coming back up for a quick breath. The peace of the water was barely broken as he glided through it.
Catt shrugged and traced her fingers over the controls. She was curious about them, and she let that seep through. "I'm from Four." Was all she said and looked back at him. She thought of something really sad, letting tears come to her eyes. "I thought I would never leave." She looked down, letting a tear fall down and drip onto the floor.
Kaiden didn't recognize the tears to be true or false, he didn't really care. Whatever the girl was hiding would be revealed in the Arena, he hopefully thought. He nodded at her answer. "I'm from Two." He just found that second comment that sparked the tears interesting. Four was a Career district, most there had been training for the Games. "You have trained though, so in a way you could have been expecting it."
Catt just shook her head and wiped her tears. "I actually never trained. My father and mother were rich, so I never had to get tessera." The lie came easily out of her mouth. She gave a sniff to add to her lie. "So two huh?" She asked quietly . She might just tell this guy her secret.
"Yeah. Tough out there, my mother and father were rich so I was trained privately." Kaiden stated. He had truly enjoyed training privately because then in the Arena the other tributes- especially the one from his own district- wouldn't know what to expect.
Catt looked around the room. She had to think of something, she couldn't be totally helpless. "So, what do you think the arena's going to be like?"
James walks back over to the spear station, He picks up a short shafted spear with a long and dangerous point. He puts one arm out and pulls the spear back with another. He throws the piece of death and hits his target dead on.(( *Inserts self into rp* ))
Sicily finished with the fire making and headed over to the spears. She nodded, "Nice aim. Where'd you learn that?" It was technically illegal to 'train' for the games and if she could catch him having trained for it then maybe the capital would take him out for her.
"District four, fishing." He said without stopping to look at her.
"So the target's a fish?" she sneered.
"Maybe a fish, maybe a skull, all of it is the same to me." He said with a slight smirk. "It's the hunger games. Someone has to die. And it ain't gonna be me."
"Wanna bet? You can fight all you want but it's strategy that makes a victor. You may eat and you may kill, but you can't win until you have a plan." she picked up a spear, weighing it in her hands, "And wouldn't it suck to be killed by a girl with weird clothes and no social skills."
He shrugged. "Have fun killing me then." He didn't like talking to people but he was beginning to warm up to her a bit more.
She threw the spear and it slice his in half. She nodded approvingly. Pretty good for her first ever time throwing a spear. She'd discovered a handy new talent.
"For someone who didn't know how to hold a knife you sure can throw a spear." He said with a slight smile, "trying holding it a few inches closer to the front, you get more speed that way." He said while rearranging her hands.
She smiled, "Why thank you, but I don't think speed will make it anymore deadly." She throwing it again, dead on.
Adela grew tired of her knoting, and moved on to the fire starting section. This was something that she needed to work on, since she'd never started one before. The most she could do was set up the sticks in the same manner as the instructor, but lighting it would be a different matter in itself. Pursing her lips, she cocked her head to either side in thought before sighing softly.
"True, but you never know, someone might dodge it..." He said as he pointed to himself with a slight smile.
She rolled her eyes, "Not from behind, when you're in a tree. And their asleep." She smirked.
"I can't climb..." He said with a sigh. He threw another spear into the dummies.
"Are you serious? That was probably a bad move telling me that. Could get you killed, y'know." she said, doing the same.
"I have other techniques to survive through the night." He said as he hurled another spear towards the dummies. "Hey, can you spar with me? You know, in case I am going hand-to-hand with someone."
