ATTN: HEAD GAMEMAKER TITIAN QIN

SUBJECT: PRIVATE SESSION REPORTS

DISTRICT ONE MALE

NAME: JYNX SUSURRUS

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: AXE, SWORD, COMBAT, SURVIVAL, HOTNESS

SKILLS ASSESSED: Jynx was super good at everything. He tried just about every weapon in the room except the long distance ones. But then he did something really amazing. He was working really hard with those big ol' axes and he got all sweaty. He took off his shirt and- just, he has to win. Panem needs him. The ladies of Panem and most of the men need him.

STRENGTHS: Superhot, weaponry, general Career skills. He will definitely get sponsors.

WEAKNESSES: He didn't care for the long range weapons and it was hard to see what he was most good at because he did so many things.

ODDS: 10:1

NOTES: Call me.

DISTRICT ONE FEMALE

NAME: VICTORY AMARINTHINE

SKILLS ASSESSED: ARCHERY, THROWING KNIVES, SPEAR, SHRUIKEN

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Clearly, Victory likes to attack from afar, and I predict she will get the most kills in the Bloodbath. She was of course competent in all her selections and is a classically skilled Career Tribute.

STRENGTHS: General Career skills, confidence

WEAKNESSES: Slightly underwhelming in hand to hand combat

ODDS: 10:1

NOTES: Pretty ballsy name choice on your parents' part. What if you had been a total mouse?

DISTRICT TWO MALE

NAME: ASH SMITH

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: BALLS

SKILLS ASSESSED: Ash waltzed right into our room and started eating our food. Honestly we didn't even know how to react so we let him. In the future we plan to have a barrier between us and the Tributes. Looking back, we're lucky none of them sent an arrow through our heads.

STRENGTHS: Moxie

WEAKNESSES: I don't know his capabilities since he did not demonstrate them

ODDS: ? 15:1?

NOTES: Are they gonna kill your family now?

DISTRICT TWO FEMALE

NAME: MARY ELLEN WESTLEY

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: AXE

SKILLS ASSESSED: Mary Ellen killed a dummy by decapitating it. She killed a dummy by eviscerating it. She killed a dummy by halving it. She killed a dummy by de-limbing it. She killed a dummy by clobbering it.

STRENGTHS: Creativity and weaponry

WEAKNESSES: Single-mindedness

ODDS: 12:1

NOTES: You sure can kill a guy with an axe.

DISTRICT THREE MALE

NAME: GIZMO TORRENS

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: ELECTRONICS

SKILLS ASSESSED: Gizmo preferred construction to programming and was able to make a bomb with the materials in the room.

STRENGTHS: Intelligence and mechanical ability, alliance

WEAKNESSES: Unpopularity with the Capitol and lack of offensive skills

ODDS: 23:1

NOTES: Gizmo has a criminal record and a history of rebellious behavior.

DISTRICT THREE FEMALE

NAME: MODDI PEX

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: TRAPS, SURVIVAL

SKILLS ASSESSED: Moddi did well making a trap. She also did passably well making a fire, thoguh this was not intentional. She built her trap across a heating vent and nearly set it ablaze.

STRENGTHS: Passable trap-making and survival, possibly her alliance

WEAKNESSES: Absentmindedness, no weapons skills, possibly her alliance

ODDS: 30:1

NOTES: You're not like most people from Three.

DISTRICT FOUR MALE

NAME: FLOKI GRIMM

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: AXE, MACE, TRIDENT

SKILLS ASSESSED: Floki was highly competent with all his weapons and showed great zeal in his attacks. He also attempted to show attractiveness, but was not as successful as Jynx.

STRENGTHS: Fervor, weaponry, upbringing

WEAKNESSES: May get carried away in his rage.

ODDS: 10:1

NOTES: Why'd they name you Floki? It's spelled wrong. And wasn't he the bad guy?

DISTRICT FOUR FEMALE

NAME: MARIS CALDER

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: AGILITY

SKILLS ASSESSED: Maris focused on upper body strength and gymnastics. She dominated our balance course and did back-to-back pullups for the rest of her session.

STRENGTHS: Endurance, agility

WEAKNESSES: Maris did not volunteer and lacks the kill drive of most Careers

ODDS: 16:1

NOTES: I can do a pull-up. A pull-up.

DISTRICT FIVE MALE

NAME: GABRIEL FARAD

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: STEALTH, SHRUIKEN, THROWING KNIVES

SKILLS ASSESSED: I don't know how a deaf guy can be so sneaky. Gabriel was also good at throwing things. I suspect he wants to attack his opponents when they are out of earshot to even the playing field.

STRENGTHS: Alliance, moderate weapons skills, stealth, hearing ally

WEAKNESSES: He's deaf.

ODDS: 40:1

NOTES: You're not a bad looker either, but it is Jynx who has my heart.

DISTRICT FIVE FEMALE

NAME: LYRA AXELLE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: ARCHERY, KNIVES

SKILLS ASSESSED: Lyra hit the outer bullseye with most shots at a moderate range. She plunged a dagger into a dummy's heart, then smirked and bowed at her great achievement.

STRENGTHS: Moderate weapons skills

WEAKNESSES: Likely overconfident and underprepared

ODDS: 28:1

NOTES: You sure showed him who's boss.

DISTRICT SIX MALE

NAME: BYKE SAINZ

"SKILLS" ASSESSED: Byke used every weapon. He used no weapons well.

STRENGTHS: Confidence

WEAKNESSES: Everything else

ODDS: 52:1

NOTES: You're not even cute.

DISTRICT SIX FEMALE

NAME: REE MORNING

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: KNIVES

SKILLS ASSESSED: Ree clearly did not want to use the knives. I do not think she will make any effort to kill another Tribute.

STRENGTHS: Alliance, likely sponsors

WEAKNESSES: Inability to kill

ODDS: 49:1

NOTES: Sucks, bro.

DISTRICT SEVEN MALE

NAME: ZETAN THOMPSON

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: EDIBLE PLANTS, FIRE

SKILLS ASSESSED: Zetan did well with both of his skills. There was nothing much to note. He is tall and muscular like Jynx but not as magnetically attractive.

STRENGTHS: All-around skills, alliance

WEAKNESS: Lack of offensive skills

ODDS: 24:1

NOTES: That was boring.

DISTRICT SEVEN FEMALE

NAME: JUNIPER BRETT

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: PROJECTILES, PLANTS, ROPES

SKILLS ASSESSED: Juniper devised a projectile from a stick she hardened in a fire. She also threw some knives and performed very well on the plants and the rope course.

STRENGTHS: Alliance, commendable weapons skills, agility and survival

WEAKNESSES: Physical frame

ODDS: 19:1

NOTES: That's cool, but I don't think it will win the Games.

DISTRICT EIGHT MALE

NAME: ARTER WIRE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: THROWING KNIVES, RUNNING, WITTY OBSERVATIONS

SKILLS ASSESSED: Arter was fast and did okay with throwing knives. Then he looked right at me and said "You'd have a hard time in the Games. You couldn't make any allies." I asked why and he said "You've been single a long time." I asked how he knew. "You're playing footsie with the guy beside you and no one's surprised." I was indeed playing footsie with Trachus. Don't be judging me.

STRENGTHS: Scary observant, solid alliance

WEAKNESSES: Low weapons skills and sass mouth

ODDS: 24:1

NOTES: I like hot guys, okay? You're just jealous I didn't go for you.

DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE

NAME: SILVER FLOWER

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SWORD, SURVIVAL

SKILLS ASSESSED: Silver clearly used a weapon only to show she could. She preferred the plants and survival stations and was competent.

STRENGTHS: Possibly her alliance, likely to get sponsors

WEAKNESSES: Lack of offensive skills and bloodlust

ODDS: 24:1

NOTES: That's a funny name.

DISTRICT NINE MALE

NAME: BUCKWHEAT MAGER

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SWORD

SKILLS ASSESSED: Buckwheat was not as skilled with the sword as he thought he was.

SKILLS: Confidence, alliance

WEAKNESSES: Arrogance and lack of skills

ODDS: 40:1

NOTES: You're okay to look at, I guess.

DISTRICT NINE FEMALE

NAME: HARMONY GRIFFITH

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SHELTERS, STAFF, THROWING KNIVES, CLIMBING

SKILLS ASSESSED: Harmony's shelter was waterproof. She smashed it with her staff. Her knive throwing was average, as was her climbing.

STRENGTHS: Jack-of-all-trades

WEAKNESSES: Master of none

ODDS: 22:1

NOTES: Dang you're a babe though.

DISTRICT TEN MALE

NAME: ARDEN GRAKE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: ARCHERY

SKILLS ASSESSED: Arden bombed it. He was shaking so much he didn't hit a single target.

STRENGTHS: Alliance

WEAKNESSES: Performance anxiety

ODDS: 50:1

NOTES: I wish you did better. You're not ugly.

DISTRICT TEN FEMALE

NAME: CALLISTA CORRAL

STRENGTHS DEMONSTRATED: KNIFE, MIMICRY

SKILLS ASSESSED: At first Callista was hesitant with her knife. Things heated up when she started stabbing it while imitating the voices of the other Tributes begging for their lives. Whether or not she can do the damage, she will certainly psychologically intimidate her opponents.

STRENGTHS: Psychological warfare

WEAKNESSES: Small frame

ODDS: 22:1

NOTES: Callista has a fresh scar on her arm. It is possible she got it during training, which implies inconsistent skill.

DISTRICT ELEVEN MALE

NAME: AUSTIN DALLAS

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: HAND TO HAND COMBAT, SPEAR

SKILLS ASSESSED: Austin clearly used a spear back home. He did a good job with it, and his strategies in hand to hand combat indicated a tactical mind.

STRENGTHS: Weaponry and planning

WEAKNESSES: He doesn't seem like the killing type.

ODDS: 18:1

NOTES: You're not as cute as your brother.

DISTRICT ELEVEN FEMALE

NAME: DELILAH CLEMENTINE

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: HAND TO HAND COMBAT, KNOT SKILLS

SKILLS ASSESSED: Delilah's skills were above average in combat and rope-tying.

STRENGTHS: Alliance, likely to get sponsors

WEAKNESSES: Lack of offensive skills

ODDS: 24:1

NOTES: That's funny, the singer with the deaf boy.

DISTRICT TWELVE MALE

NAME: NUBU SANDERS

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: MACHETE, SURVIVAL

SKILLS ASSESSED: Nubu was okay with his machete but obviously did not like using it. He did better with the survival stuff. At first I thought Nubu was handsomer than Jynx but he's just a bit of a baby-face. I guess the first one really was the best this time.

STRENGTHS: Alliance, likely to get sponsors.

WEAKNESSES: Nubu is kindhearted. He will not kill his allies if they are the last ones.

ODDS: 20:1

NOTES: This is no place for saints.

DISTRICT TWELVE FEMALE

NAME: ALINTA FINTAN

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: SOCIAL SKILLS

SKILLS ASSESSED: Alinta was... different. She walked in and announced "I don't have many skills, so instead I'd like to get to know you. I'm Alinta." Most of us introduced ourselves and she asked about our jobs and whether we liked them. Then she said "I do have one skill. Wanna hear a joke? A skeleton walked into a bar and said 'gimme a beer and a mop.'" After that, Alinta gave us some opinions on the Games. We cut the session short in light of her young age.

STRENGTHS: Honesty and alliance

WEAKNESSES: Honesty, possibly alliance, few real skills

ODDS: 49:1

NOTES: Panem, we can do it. Sponsor this girl a buttload of stuff so we can hear more jokes.
