Task One - Parade - Easter Tributes

April Joy

The last of the St. Patrick’s tributes rolled out onto the stage, with the crowd cheering them on. Next it was the Easter District’s turn. The first Easter tributes, were April and Leveret. April wasn’t nervous at all, and in fact was cheerful. She could not wonder how one could be nervous or sad right now. She was happy and excited as always, and was getting ready with a big smile on her face.

The Tribute Parade was a huge opportunity to get sponsors, and the tributes always wanted to look their best. April breathed deeply. They were going to be called next, and she wanted to be as much prepared as possible. 

April and Leveret were ushered into their chariot. The chariot for April and Leveret were quite unique. It was painted with vibrant colours consisting of green, blue, pink, and red. It had the effect that there were Easter eggs on it, and there were trees of all different colours painted on the chariot. The chariot design went well with the white horses in front of the chariot. April and Leveret stepped into the chariot, and prepared themselves for what would come next.

“The Easter District!” The president boomed. The giant doors to the show room opened, and they came out. The tributes that were before them were still getting their attention, and then April and Leveret rolled onto the stage, and the audience had surely seemed to like them. Their outfits were not the most unique, but at least they looked good, and appealing. 

April was dressed in a pink, knee-length light pastel coloured dress, with faded Easter egg designs sprawled all over it. It was topped with pink-white ballet flats that went nicely with her dress, and her hair was in an elegant bun. Leveret was dressed similar to April, but except he was wearing a baby blue pastel in coloured tuxedo, with the same idea of the faded colour Easter eggs all over the outfit.

 The Capitol audience cheered and screamed. April stood tall and proud, and waved happily and cheerfully at the crowd.

March Easterwells

March and Bunny were standing in their chariot, waiting to be announced. Their chariot was pretty, and was decorated to look like it was a springtime Easter day. It was very colourful, and it got your attention. March fidgeted uncomfortably with his cape. On the other hand, Bunny was loving her dress. It suited her well, and she looked pretty decent, unlike some of the other costumes.

They would be announced any minute now. March was confident and had this all under control, but secretly deep down he was almost nervous. But he didn’t want to look weak. At all.

“The Easter District!” The announcer yelled. The doors opened, and out came March and Bunny dressed in their chariot costumes. The crowd cheered, and in amusement.

Bunny had on a lovely dress made entirely of Lilies, and it looked very natural on her, complimenting her figure. March was wearing some dressy clothing, with a pure Rabbit fur cape, giving off as if they were the King and Queen of Easter. To top it off, they both had small crowns on their heads. The crowd was loving it.

The announcer raised his eyebrows, and then yelled, Well it looks like we have the King and Queen of Easter, here!” The Capitol citizens cheered even louder than before, and they even threw some roses at them.

March loved the attention. The only attention that he back home was when he got in trouble. Bunny and March smiled brightly at the crowd, waving and blowing kisses to them. Hopefully their grand entrance would get them some sponsors.

Leveret Hare

Levert loves the suden urge of attention. His cheeky grin meets the screams of the capitol crowd... though he can't help but feel they only think him... adorable... weak... discarded.

Then again... he stands idle with his excited partner, the two both drenched in various bold primary colours with subtle area's of pink and purples. Levert is in this light indigo one piece jumpsuit thats slightly padded and baggy... almost as though the stylists desired some actual 'Easter egg' styled being. 

Only the capitol... Leveret thinks as he bounces in the decorated chariot. He will play his tricks upon them all, mischeviously prove them wrong. He knows he has such skill... such evils capable of tripping them all. 

The beams expose his sly smile... though the capitol simply sigh with adoration for the child.

Does he have the patience?

 Bunny Von Unatalia    

Bunny shivered in her costume even though it wasn't even cold. She was pale as snow. March walked towards her.

"Hey March." She managed to squeak out. 

March shrugged indifferently. 

"Don't look like you're going to vomit while we're on our float. Unlike you, I actually want to win," He stated in a flat monotone.

Bunny gave a sunny, cheerful smile and twirled in her soft, white lily petal dress that had a soft, dewy shimmer to it. March shook his head.

"Too Katniss. Be more majestic." He coached. 

March bowed like a king. His soft, downy rabbit fur cloak gently swished around him almost like wings. His outfit was made of the flower petals of lavender, larkspur, delphinium, petunia and much more that surprising went well with the caramel fur. Just as March stood up, his stylist, Esque,  skipped over to him. The short little stylish beamed at both of them, but mostly at March.

"All you need is your crown!" She exclaimed. 

Esque had March kneel down as she placed a crown made of woven sticks with dew drops, honey, and a jeweled egg. 

"Esque! I finished the most DAH-LINK tiar-AH ev-AH!" Bunny's stylist, Gyre, shouted with his Capitol accent. 

He was extremely tall compared to most people and looked like a giant compared to Esque. Gyre literally had to bow in order to be short enough to put Bunny's tiara in place. 

The tiara was made of flowers, lilies like her dress. The stems were the frame of the tiara and the petals were genetically enhanced to be more sparkly and the center had a large topaz jewel in them. Bunny gasped in wonder.

"It's amazing!" She exclaimed.

The stylists basked in the tributes' radiance for a moment, then ushered them into the float. Quickly, March and Bunny were pushed into the parade in front of the hungry crowd. Bunny quickly sat down feeling overwhelmed, but March grabbed her hand. The crowd roared its approval. 

"KING OF EASTER! QUEEN OF THE LILIES!" The audience chanted. 

Bunny and March bowed like royalty, concluding their showcase.
