Maro Revalo approached a large, black stained, glass sliding door. He was provided with his dressing room key, so he took it out of his pocket and held it between his fingers. As he continued walking forward, the door slid open, and he was greeted by the large, open Training Center. He noticed no tributes in. Well, I guess I'm first today... he thought. Maro scanned the room, then located his private dressing room, which was marked with a large yellow "1M". He couldn't train in just his white t-shirt, so walked over to the side of the training center, where all the dressing rooms were, and then unlocked the door and walked inside.
The locker room, like the rest of the Capitol buildings, had a very modern feel. It was plain and white, with ambient lighting and simple decorations. In it, there was a table. On it was a slick, black training uniform marked with a "1" on the back. Maro smiled, staring at the modern-looking uniform, and quickly changed into it. After he was done, he looked into a mirror on the wall, seeing his body in the brand-new uniform. It looked good, as it was rather tight and his muscles showed. After making adjustments to his comfort, Maro turned to the door, preparing to walk back out to the main training area.

Maro noticed the girl from 3 enter the Training Center and walk into her dressing room. He saw her come out a few minutes later, and try out the tree model. Maro watched from a distance, noticing how she avoided the branches with the glowing buds. He had heard that if any living creature touched those branches, they would be killed by the tree in a carnivorous rage. He eventually saw her fall onto the cushioned ground, and decided to go try for himself after she left.
Maro made his way over to the tree model. It was much bigger than it looked from a distance, which intimidated Maro. He noticed the rough, black bark and the lack of leaves on the tree. Without any more hesitation, he caught hold of the first branch, and heaved himself up. He lost his balance immediately, as Maro was no good at climbing anything. He landed awkwardly, then after regaining himself, tried again. He lifted himself up, grabbing the lowest branch, and lifted his feet to get a foothold on a fork in the tree. He got the rest of his body up, and then grabbed the next branch with both hands. After securing a good grip, he stood up in the fork of the tree and pulled himself up. When he lifted his foot to get some balance on a branch, the branch he put his foot on immediately started moving. Panicking, Maro looked back and realized that he had put his foot on one of the branches with red glowing buds.
Suddenly Maro felt an intense electric shock, which paralyzed him for a second, and then made him let go and fall to the cushioned floor. He coughed as he hit the floor, because he fell on his back. Maro sat up, and looked at the tree. He felt relieved that he had only been shocked, and not torn apart to bits like in the actual arena. He got up, and walked over to a water fountain to regain some body water.

Maro stood with Newt and Skyla. It seemed that climbing the dangerous, black tree was the unspokenly agreed way of making a first impression. The three of them began to converse, and then after a few minutes, he noticed Kaya step out of her dressing room and dash toward them. Eyeing Newt, and after listening to their conversation, he nodded an approval to the four of them being Career Allies. He was quite surprised, though, that no one had volunteered for Kaya, since she had come from a district with many Career trainees. "How old are you, 13?" he started. "Didn't anyone volunteer? Or did you?" he asked.

(District 1 girl Interview)(Interview Finishes(
"And our male tribute from District 1, Maro Revalo!"

Maro heard the crowd cheer as he stepped out from behind the stage. He smiled and waved at them, dressed in a royal-looking robe, and with a crown of rubies. He sat down on the chair by Vincent, crossing his legs in a relaxed position. "Hello!" he called. The audience cheered again. Maro just grinned and took this for a "hello".

"Welcome, Maro!" chimed Vincent, with a broad smile.
"Hi!" replied Maro.
Vincent adjusted in his seat, cleared his throat, and said,"Welcome to the Capitol! Now before we talk about here, how's your life back home in District One?"
"Well, it's nice. I live with a family with a decent amount of money. You know, large house, got a brother, lots of friends. Well, lots of enemies too but they're dead now." joked Maro.
"Dead?" asked Vincent, shocked.
"Nah," replied Maro. "If I killed anyone I'd get beaten to death by your Peacekeeper folk."
Vincent let out a chuckle, and the crowd burst into laughter.

"Anyway, what do you think of the Capitol?" asked Vincent.
"It's great!" complimented Maro. "It's very comfortable. I thought my life was good, but you guys have amazing food and service. Is it like this in the whole city?"
"It definitely is." replied Vincent with a smile.

"On to the next question: How did you feel when you were reaped for the games?"
"Oh, I wasn't reaped. Some kid did, I was just the lucky first guy to volunteer." He replied with pride.
This time, the crowd of Capitol folk went nuts. They always liked volunteered, especially those from Career districts.

After the uproar settled down, Vincent asked the next question. "What is inspiring you to win the Hunger Games?"
"Well, mainly my little brother. He always wants to be super rich when he grows up, so if I win the games and move into Victor's Village, he's gonna be reallyhappy."
"Good, good. I bet he will be." replied Vincent.

"That was the last question. Is there anything else you would like to share?"
Maro smiled, he was waiting for this moment. "Well," he started. "I don't really have anything extra to say but I do technically have something to share." Maro took off his jeweled crown, and plucked out one of the rubies. He stood up, and tossed it into the audience. There was a massive uproar of excitement, and a large mass of people moving up front, trying to get the ruby. The one who caught it was immediately trampled.

Vincent grinned. "Thank you Maro! May the odds be ever in your favor!" Maro waved a goodbye and walked off of the stage.

"And now moving onto District Two! Maximum "Max" Ride! Come up here and tell these folks about yourself!"

PurplePandaBear, you may now begin your Interview Session. Answer all of the questions in the correct order.

OOC: Yeah Im host I was just waiting for you to respond. You're on stage now.

IC: As Max sat down on the chair beside Vincent, Vincent said to her. "Welcome Max! I bet you're excited for the games. Tell us, what is your life like back in District Two? Any family?"

ok thats fine

Only Just a Dream, you put "being very naive" as your weakness for your other character. You should probably change it, I'll accept you after

"She can see you" smiled Vincent. "Anyway, what do you think of the Capitol? How's your experience here so far?" he asked.

OOC: I will be gone most of today, so I probs won't be able to reply until a lot later. Can you finish the rest by yourself?

Ok. Accepted.

Also make sure to track the interview thread. You will be the last to be called up.

Arrow, not accepted. Re-read the rules. All of it.

OOC: Alright I'm back!

IC: Vincent laughed cheerfully. "Yes, it Capitol fashion is very much different than in the Districts. Now, what was going through your mind when you were reaped for the games? How did you feel?" he asked. Vincent leaned back in the chair and crossed his legs.

Arrow and Making Life Awesome, both accepted.

It doesn't really matter, games are starting soon. But anyway, Maro, Newt, Kaya, and Max are all Careers.
