Statistics. That word means a funny thing to Alba Winslow as she knows almost every single one is out to get her. Forty percent of tributes each year come from community homes, a place where every single child is required to take out the maximum amount of Tessera as a form of payment for the roof over there heads. Where every single child is required to put there name into that bowl that leads to almost certain death as many times as legally possible. The place Alba calls home or at least the closest thing she's ever had to one. On the day of Albas reaping everything changes. Her name is plucked from the bowl like so many unfortunate children before her and she is forced to participate in the games that are punishment for actions committed long before she was even alive. (I hate this description so much *choking emote* I shall be changing it when I can cook up something better)

ᥫ᭡ ʚ⋆ 𝜗𝜚 ⋆ɞ ᥫ᭡ Lidia Beaumont is just fourteen years old when she is reaped for the 73rd annual Hunger Games. She came from District Eight, where the looms never stopped, and silence was easier than concern. Her days were spent in a lace factory beside her mother, stitching delicate patterns with trembling fingers and a distant gaze. People whispered about her-said she was odd, unstable, prone to long silences and sudden shifts. One moment calm, the next unreadable. Her moods flickered like faulty lights, but no one paid it much attention. Not in a district where survival came first. In the arena, Lidia unraveled. She slipped into dissociation so deep, the Games stopped feeling real. The screams, the blood, the killings-it all blurred into a strange, dreamlike state. To her, it was a game. One where nothing truly mattered. She killed without thinking, without meaning to, as if she was moving on autopilot. There was no plan, no emotion, just instinct and confusion. And a Capitol audience that couldn't look away from the girl with the blank stare and the blood-stained hands. STARTED: 11/04/25 ENDED: - [ pre-the hunger games to post-mockingjay ]

What is birthright? Perhaps it was written in Natalia's fate to be reaped for the 69th annual Hunger Games. She was born so closely into the violence that tainted her whole world that it was only fitting to die as closely.

ᥫ᭡ ʚ⋆ 𝜗𝜚 ⋆ɞ ᥫ᭡ Isadora Odair is just twelve years old when she is reaped for the 72nd Hunger Games. In a district that idolizes the Games, Isadora has spent her life dreaming of the honor it could bring.

Stripped of her innocence, she must decide if she will cling to what she's been taught or fight to forge her own path. STARTED: 20/12/24 ENDED: - [ pre-the hunger games to post-mockingjay ]
