Slowly cautiously char and lox step through the door. Thankfully, they dont trigger any booby traps and everything seems normal, even when they sit down on the undeniably comfortable chairs. In a few minutes, the whole cafe is full, with Tributes arriving in groups or pairs. Charlotte thinks she spots casimir, but she only wonders "do they know about the food?"
The thought keeps running through her head everytime she sees a new Tribute; which was about every other second. She couldn't help it, what if they died. Was this part of the hunger games. Would there be mutants. How long would she and lox survive. Will-
Lox placed her hand on char who was currently hyperventilating. She looked like she was either about to pass out or have a panic attack, neither of which were good ideas.
As soon as char sensed loxs hand on her shoulder, she calmed down... and just in time because the food arrived.
The POISONED food.
Avoxes brought in a multidute of dishes, from soups, donuts, and breadsticks to pizza,roast beef, and caviar. For dessert there was cake,cake,cake, jello, and ice cream. There was lots of cake, much to a lot of Tributes delights.
It was all so tempting but knowing it might be poisonous made it that much more hard. Was it really poisonous... or was it a test.
And then a gong sounded. Begin eating... or else. It was the message it delivered but nobody said it out loud. Suddenly a boy on the other end of the table started coughing. Not just anything, but he was coughing blood. However,  another girl who was eating her salad looked up surprised, but she was fine. No coughing no blood.                                                                              Soon about 7 or 8 of the tributes were coughing up blood clearly poisoned. They were gagging and choking; one had already died. It was absolutely horrible. All while the stupid capitol anthem was playing.                                                                                                                                                    Char was the first one to realize it but others, or at least the ones who weren't dying, came to it too. Maybe the games hadn't started officially but the Tributes WOULD die, someway or another, until there was one left. Warily they all stared at each, sizing up competition. Until now, it hadn't felt real. Now, it was seared in their brain... at the end, only one would be alive...                Suddenly a boy who was on the other side of the table jumped up saying "I know it! I know what it is!" 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanted to let u guys know so u werent confused: this is kinda like from casimir and sebastiens perspective but still in third person!

"The foods poisoned isnt it?" Sebastien whimpered "This never happened before what do i do"

"Calm down... just dont eat anything. " Cas comforted Sebastien. By now, the younger boy was starting to feel like a baby brother to casimir. "There has to be a pattern. This is the hunger games not a massacre."

He whirled to Sebastien. "u're a geek right?" Seb timidly nodded. "Look, i get that ure scared but u have to do this. Think seb think. We can live.. i think." Seb cracked a smile at that, but it fell quickly. 

Sebastien took out his notebook (which he apparently took everywhere.. even swimming- good thing it was waterproofed) and started writing something in it. Cas observed him, but was distracted by a scream.

Looking around , he saw that it was a girl in a frilly white dress who had screamed. A dead boy lay next to her, mouth covered in blood.

Suddenly the capitol anthem started playing over the background. What the actual hell? Of all the times to play the dam anthem, NOW?!?  thought Casimir. 

He felt a tugging on his shirt sleeve and sat back down. 

"i think i did it. i figured it out.. but im not sure." Seb whispered. 

"I do not care there are people dying out there spit it out... to everyone!" hissed cas. Seb looked hesitant but stood up and said "i know it! I know what it is!"

Everyone looked at the nerdy boy who was saying he knew how to not die. "They were playing the capitol anthem, and C_A_P_I_T_O_L is three syllables. All the people who were poisoned ate a dish with three syllables. For example the dead boy.. ate roasted duck and he was poisoned. However the girl over there," he nodded to a girl " ate salad and was not poisoned."

Cas looked proudly at Seb, grinning. Then, the speakers crackled to life:

Great job... u have figured out puzzle one. There is one antidote somewhere among the dishes. Good luck and may the odds be ever in ur favor!"

And then all chaos ensued.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------hey guys. This is gonna be an overall perspective

Charlotte grabbed Lox and scrambled backward, away from the table. Lox fell backward, unwittingly dragging char down with her. All the poisoned tributes had lost their kinds... once they heard there was an antidote, they started searching not caring about anything else. A stray plate sailed over their heads and both Lox and Char scanned for shelter. Not too far away, Lox spotted a table; she nudged chars shoulder and gestured toward the table. Char nodded to affirm their target and together she and lox crawled. Suddenly charlotte spotted a girl being trampled. She dragged lox over to the girl and offered her hand. The girl hesitated but then took it. All three of  them crawled over to the table and flipped over the table to its side. Huddled together the girl spotted a stack of plates. Quickly she darted over and brought it over. She handed one to each of them, but seeing their confused expressions she sighed and chucked a plate behind her... then gave them a look. Understanding what to do, they started chucking plates behind... hopefully it would knock out some tributes. Char whimpers... poking loxs shoulder and pointing. A few feet away lay a tray with food on. And on the other side of them was a poisoned tribute. U could see it was a poisoned because of the green tint on her skin. With wide eyes, they chuck plates at the poisoned and run, tripping over their own feet. Char pulls in front of the other two girls and leads them on, pointing toward the doors. She hears a crash behind her and turns around and slams into someone. The others pile onto her the person falls down. Lox gasps " what r u doing here CASAMIR" she sneers. "What the hell do u think I'm doing, Loxley?"  "As much as I hate casimir, now is not the time lox... we still in the middle of a death gala!" Char gestures. Lox gives one last death glare and tries to open the door. "Hello? I need help here!" The rest of the group goes and push against the door and it finally opens. They all pour outside and slam the door back. "So now that were out of imminent danger who r u guys?" Sebastien asks."I'm loxley, female tribute of 8" Lox introduces herself. "Charlotte, female of 2" char puts her hand out for seb to shake. He accepts and says "names Sebastien, district 4". "Casimir, Male 2" all that got him was twin death glares. "I'm akira... female for 7" with a small smile. Everyone grins back at her. "So r we gonna ally or..." Akira trails. "What do we got to lose," Lox asks "let's just do this for now".
Whew... that was super long.. it was for everything else  because of me  not writing super often
