Y/n's pov
I get up off the bed and go to sit on the sofa, I pick up the remote off the table and look at it for a while before finding the ON button and turning the TV on. Some capital fashion show pops up, I play about with some buttons before a list of options comes up. "Weekly Weather. Anouncements. Famous Fashion. Previous Games." I click on the previous games one and then "Full Games. Best Bits." Comes up, I press the best bits option, and then it asks for a specific game or all. I want to watch the other mentors' games, to find helpful information for the games, and to see how their brains work so I know what to expect from their tributes. But as I don't know the mentors yet, I'll find out who they are at the tribute parade later this evening, so I just decide to start with my mentors. I type in 71st hunger games, and then an option comes up with an image of a younger Johanna on it I press play. I've already watched this, when it actually happened. My family and other families sat in town watching the games on the big screen as most houses dont have TVs. But I might as well watch it again, to refresh my brain.....or maybe just to see Johanna Mason in action again. A clip of the reaping comes up, Evangeline calls out for Johanna, people turn to look at her, I even see a 14 year old me turn to look to where everyone else was. Once up at the stage, she looks down the whole time. I remember watching her get reaped, the sympathy I felt knowing she was scared and going into the hunger games. Never would I have guessed I was going to go into the 74th hunger games. An image of Johanna and her district partner dressed as trees comes up. Trees are the usual for district 7. Because we're lumber, they think dressing us as trees will do a good job at representing our district. A clip of Johanna talking to Ceaser Flickerman comes up. She's looking down, muttering small answers to Ceaser to the point he has to ask her to repeat it to him, and then he repeats it into the microphone to the crowd. I see the image of the bloodbath come up, tributes running in, and Johanna getting a bag and running out. I see what I remember to be the careers killing loads of people. The next thing I see is Johanna in a tree, while a group of people walk under her, starting to kill each other. Then, a clip of the careers killing people. Then I see an image of Johanna finding an axe of the ground that her district partner dropped when being killed. Then a clip of Johanna brutally murdering the boy from 8 and girl from 9. I then see Johanna hiding behind a tree waiting to kill the careers. She then brutally murders them, becoming victor. The screen goes back to the cover with Johanna's face on it. I look at a clock above the door "5:49pm" displayed on it. Perfect timing. I get up and walk out of my room. Okay y/n it's time to act as the scared weak girl from 7. As I look either way to see if anyone is there, the door next to mine opens, and Johanna walks out.*
"I take it you're going to watch the reaping?" Johanna asks. OMG, JOHANNA MASON IS TALKING TO ME. I know it's not that big of a deal, she's my mentor, so she kind of has to. But like still a big deal for me, she's like my idol. Okay, y/n, act cool. You don't want her to think you're stupid or weird.
"Yeah, it's that way, isn't it?" I question pointing towards the sliding door to where Evangeline said it was. Okay, don't be rude and talk to her, but still act scared, if anyone knows about my plan, it will be at risk of getting out and going downhill.
"Yeah. You're better at this than I was. I practically had to ask every person I saw on what direction to go." Johanna admits, gesturing to start walking. OMG. SHE COMPLIMENTED ME.
"Yeah, well, I guess I just tried to take in as much of what Evangeline said when she spoke about where the stuff is." I say, starting to walk with her. *On the outside, I'm scared but sort of sociable, but on the inside, my brain is having a party from speaking to Johanna.*
"I bet she spoke at like the speed of light." Johanna asks.
"Yeah, it's was hard to understand, but I managed to pick little bits of it." I admit.
"Yeah, she did the same for me. Blight says she does it to all the tributes, well not him, because he had a different escort." Johanna says.
"So it's just a thing she does?" I ask.
"Yeah, pretty much." Johanna says. *The automatic sliding doors open. To my left, I see an avox. I can't help but feel bad for them. They do something wrong and are then stuck in a life of servanting and no talking. Ahead, I see a long, slightly rounded sofa following the shape of the wall. There is a big TV on the opposite wall. The far end of the room is a bar area with taps of different drinks and cupboards at the bottom filled of bottles of who know what and cupboards at the top filled with like 100 different styles of glasses. There is also a counter with 6 high stools. I see Blight with a glass of what looks to be red wine, and Evangeline is talking sitting on one of the stools with a small glass with some sort of alcohol.*
"Ah. Johanna, y/n do you want me to make you a drink?" Evangeline asks, placing her glass down and going to stand up.
"No! I can do it myself." Johanna practicaly shouts. *I see Blight chuckle slightly.*
"What do you want y/n?" Johanna asks.
"Oh, umm, just some water, please." I ask, still acting scared. *Johanna nods and walks over to the bar. I follow her over there.
"She's not very good, bartender. She gets stuff wrong and doesn't pour things right." She says quietly, getting out a wine glass and a small pint glass.* I chuckle at the comment.*
"Ice?" She asks.
"Umm, yes, please." I reply. *She pulls out the draw and picks up the scoup, adding ice to the pint glass. She turns around, pulls a tap down, and water comes out. She hands it to me.*
"Thank you." I say. *Johanna just nods and smiles, telling im nervous. I go to sit down on the sofa. Blight is at the very left of the sofa.*
"Johanna! Are you already on the Gin?" Evangeline asks, shouting. *Johanna sits to my right.*
"Well yeah, what do you expect me to do? Sit here and drink water." Johanna says sarcastically. *Blight chuckles at her statement.*
"It's not even that early. it's almost 6. That's a reasonable time to start on the Gin. Plus, you've already got a martini." Johanna says angrliy. *Evangeline accepts her fate, and it's quiet. The sliding door opens, and Wallace walks in.*
"Do you want a drin, sweetheart?" Evangeline asks, piping up.
"Oh umm yes please. Just water, no ice." He answers.
"You go sit down dear, i'll bring it to you." Evangline says, standing up. *Wallace sits in between me and Blight. Evangeline now walks over with his drink and then walks back to the stool.*
"I thought he said no ice?" I whisper to Johann, mentioning to the ice in his water.*
"Yep. Proving my point that she gets stuff wrong." Johanna whispers back to me.
Don't forget, if I've made a mistake, feel free to correct me.
I hope you enjoyed!
