PRIVATE SESSION REPORTS

THEODORA HARP AND HER ROOTIN TOOTIN PARTNER HARLEQUIN "HOLLERIN' HARLEY" MARCEAU

"Harley, this is serious!" I crossed out her addendum. There was no way I could do my job properly with 73 Tributes. I remembered what happened last Resurrection Games, and that was only 54. I was in trouble for weeks.
