All-Stars: Non-Careers

Chapter 27

I did four parts instead because I'm about to leave for my sister's house and this way you could have another chapter. Harlequin is still bold.

NAME: JUNIE BRETT

DISTRICT SEVEN FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: FIRST AID

SKILLS ASSESSED: Due to her past in Seven, Junie is familiar with first aid. She showed skill in general injuries, specializing in trauma (which is perfect for the Arena)

STRENGTHS: River and Junie are an ideal pairing. Junie defends and River attacks,

WEAKNESSES: Junie will be reluctant to kill anyone.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing

ODDS: 70:1

NOTES: 4/10 would not bang.

NAME: EVER FELLOWS

DISTRICT SEVEN FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: THROWING KNIVES

SKILLS ASSESSED: Ever is naturally good at her weapon. Now that she's been using them so long, she has experience to add to talent.

STRENGTHS: Ranged weapons, alliance

WEAKNESSES: Likely to be targeted by strongest Tributes.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing

ODDS: 60:1

NOTES: I try over and over and all I get is cuts. How do you do that? Not fair!

NAME: DESIREE REDWOOD

DISTRICT SEVEN FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: STRENGTH, AXE

SKILLS ASSESSED: SUPERGOOD. Des is super strong and super good with her axe. And she looks super good too.

STRENGTHS: SMOKING HOT, strong, brave, sponsors.

WEAKNESSES: She'll stay with Electra even if she really should leave.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Crazy good-looking

ODDS: 1:1 (Theodora might try to change this but she's wrong)

NOTES: 10/10 would bang.

"This is so boring. How do you do this?" Harlequin asked from the table.

"It pays the bills," I said.

"Break time's over, lazybones. My turn to goof off," she said. She slumped on the couch and I looked over her notes. They weren't totally unusable.

"You're just done because you got to Des," I said.

"I don't see the problem..." she said.

NAME: BLAISE WESLEY

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SURVIVAL

SKILLS ASSESSED: It was obvious Blaise was uninterested with survival matters, and it showed in his work. His shelter was lacking and his fire was fragile.

STRENGTHS: Strong allies, easy to hide

WEAKNESSES: Lack of strength, doesn't stand out.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing

ODDS: 120:1

NOTES: You're just going to die in the Bloodbath again.

NAME: RYKER MERLIN

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: RUNNING, BOLO

SKILLS ASSESSED: Like last time, Ryker proved to be a great runner. He was also reasonably adept at his newfound weapon. His attacks were meant to slow, not to injure.

STRENGTHS: Speed

WEAKNESSES: You can't slow someone to death. He's not aggressive like most Victors.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Tends to feel guilt more acutely than average.

NOTES: You got enough stuff to worry about without guilt. Yeah, chill out.

NAME: ARTER WIRE

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SCYTHE

SKILLS ASSESSED: Though he possessed little knowledge of his weapon, Arter was scarily accurate and very determined. What the heck was that? The room is Arter-proof, right? I like Theodora's face the way it is!

STRENGTHS: Singleminded, willing to kill

WEAKNESSES: Obsessive to the point that he will neglect self-care.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Arter seems to have suffered damage in the cloning process. He is obsessed with death and has delusions of being the Grim Reaper.

ODDS: 200:1

NOTES: Forward Arter's file to Titian Qin. This may be the villain he's been looking for.

NAME: TORCHY CONDEN

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: MACHETE, FIRE

SKILLS ASSESSED: Torchy was very good at making fire. Perhaps he has a history with it. He also showed force and control with the machete.

STRENGTHS: Weapons skills, willing to kill, strength

WEAKNESSES: Extremely volatile alliance.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Marked antisocial tendencies. This is countered by an unexpected new demonstration of empathy with ally Merle Loveridge.

ODDS: 60:1

NOTES: Torchy and Merle, sitting in a tree... You're going to have to pick a side.

NAME: BURGUNDY LUMINEER

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SURVIVAL, SPEAR

SKILLS ASSESSED: Burgundy used the spear more to show willingness than excellence. His survival skills will sustain him in a non-barren Arena.

STRENGTHS: Self-sufficiency

WEAKNESSES: Performance last time. His ally intends to betray him.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Trauma stemming from a r**e before he was Resurrected. It is unlikely anything in the Arena will exacerbate this. Yeah, even we're not that mean.

NOTES: Sucks bro. Hope things get better.

NAME: JAKE DIAZ

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: CLUB, RUNNING

SKILLS ASSESSED: Jake's baseball skills were put to use in the form of a club and normal running. It is easy to see why he picked the game. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD

STRENGTHS: Athletic abilities, alliance.

WEAKNESSES: Hotheaded, impulsive

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing

ODDS: 68:1

NOTES: Going, going, gone! You still have two strikes.

NAME: ALICE GRACE SILVIN

DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SURVIVAL

SKILLS ASSESSED: Alice will be able to sustain herself for approximately one month in a non-barren Arena.

STRENGTHS: Safety in number of allies, sponsors

WEAKNESSES: Weak alliance, unable to defend herself

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Minor, non-damaging delusion that sympathetic Tributes are heavenly beings.

ODDS: 180:1

NOTES: Such a cutie pie. They're not giving you another chance, just making you die again.

NAME: INCENSE BALBOA

DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: TRAPS, SURVIVAL

SKILLS ASSESSED: Incense has been developing her traps and shows meticulous attention for detail. Her survival skills are adequate.

STRENGTHS: Allies, can sustain and defend herself.

WEAKNESSES: Is not a formidable fighter.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

ODDS: 70:1

NOTES: She'll at least get to fifth place. One loss, one win. That's even.

NAME: BUTTHEAD O'NO HABER DASHER

DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SWORD

SKILLS ASSESSED: What Haber lacked in skill and finesse, she made up for with equally glaring lack of coordination. She roundly proved that words speak louder than actions. Burn...

STRENGTHS: Too annoying to get close enough to kill.

WEAKNESSES: Completely, flawlessly hateable. Crosses, holy water, sunlight, silver.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Delusions of persecution and irrational prejudice toward males.

ODDS: 170:1

NOTES: Someone please stake her. If I have to watch her one more time...

NAME: SILVER FLOWER

DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: JUDO

SKILLS ASSESSED: To our great surprise, Silver managed to convince Pray Jager to instruct her in fighting. Pray does not generally use defensive styles like Judo, but she is familiar with them. Silver was an apt pupil.

STRENGTHS: Sponsors galore, will make her murderer unpopular, mentor

WEAKNESSES: Sacrificial nature, weak allies. Just plain won't win

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing

ODDS: 162:1

NOTES: Gosh can't they let you rest in peace? Hats off, girl. You won't let them win.

NAME: MILLER THRESHER

DISTRICT NINE MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: EATING

SKILLS ASSESSED: The boy can eat. He ate everything edible in the room and attempted to gain entry to our catering tables by yelling up at us.

STRENGTHS: Weight

WEAKNESSES: A chance to be Panem's hero lies in killing him.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: His IQ test came back negative. Can't pour water from a boot with instructions on the heel.

ODDS: 300:1

NOTES: Oink. I hope this is the last time.

NAME: COOPER WOODSON

DISTRICT NINE MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: POETRY

SKILLS ASSESSED: I was never much a poetry. That was probably good stuff. Cooper's odd talent did not show ability to survive in the Arena, though it was pretty.

STRENGTHS: Can keep morale in his alliance up

WEAKNESSES: You can't eat poems.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing

ODDS: 95:1

NOTES: How do you know if poems are even good? There once was a Tribute named Cooper. His rhymes threw us all for a looper. Though his poems were okay, at the end of the day, they'll carry him out in a scooper.

NAME: TARIQ BLUEGRASS

DISTRICT NINE MALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Sickle

SKILLS ASSESSED: Tariq wielded the sickle with the frenzy only available to someone who knows it's his only chance at life.

STRENGTHS: He has two arms again. Alliance, tolerance for low food.

WEAKNESSES: Do you get phantom pains when you're a clone? Unlikely to attract sponsors.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Tariq had borderline personality disorder tendencies before his first Reaping. These have been exacerbated by his enormous trauma in the Arena. He is extremely dependent on his allies and has paranoid delusions of betrayal.

ODDS: 115:1

NOTES: He better not drag Olivier down. I like Olivier. This won't be pretty.

NAME: LISBETH MILLER

DISTRICT NINE FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: DAGGER

SKILLS ASSESSED: It is clear Lisbeth knows her limitations and will not engage an opponent she cannot beat.

STRENGTHS: Cunning, manipulative, looks out for herself.

WEAKNESSES: I wouldn't sponsor her a tissue. Won't attract sponsors, will cause the downfall of her alliance.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Highly manipulative

ODDS: 80:1

NOTES: Snake. Karma's a witch.

NAME: EMMALIE BLUEBELL

DISTRICT NINE FEMALE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: PICKPOCKETING

SKILLS ASSESSED: Though it is difficult to assess thievery when the assistant knows it's coming, Emmalie was able to demonstrate significant skill with sleight-of-hand.

STRENGTHS: May be able to steal supplies, can evade pursuers.

WEAKNESSES: Her skills require her to get close to her target, who may be stronger than she is. What if no one has food?

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Low empathy and slight antisocial tendencies.

NOTES: It's not enough. It hasn't worked yet.

"What if you just take a little break?"

"I'm trying to be a responsible citizen."

"That's no fun."

It was a good thing I had Harley to help me. If she hadn't been there, who would have told me when Jezebel was about to pick? Who would have thrown a pillow at my head while I was rating Cooper? Who would have made popcorn more loudly than I thought possible? Without her, it would have been impossible.
