Tributes are woken early to be taken onto the hovercrafts. Each Tribute and participating Mentor receives an injection. Resistance will not be tolerated. In short time, they will fall unconscious only to wake within a room of a boat.

25 - 24 - 23

Participants have all already been dressed in a District marked thermal suit, for water, heat, and cold, though not resistant to extreme temperatures.

20 - 19 - 18 - 17 - 16

The platforms await them, sure death to come to those who don't move along, only to find no Cornucopia in sight. Instead, they stand among only the Tributes from their District and a harsh winter just outside the windows of the boat. There are stairs leading down into the rooms that hold the Cornucopia items, and a door leading outside where a heavy lifeboat waits. The boat gives a terrible creak, familiar to those who saw or took part in the second mini arena.

11- 10 - 9 - 8

They've all been warned, don't step off your pedestal early. They have also been warned to put on a good show. That's all this is about, a good show. None of them have been told that there can be multiple winners this time around.

The sound of the gong plays crystal clear within the boat. The games have begun.

It takes him the better part of working through the night to make anything useful of the contents of the CELL-U-LAR store, but once he's on the right track it ends up being easier than he thought it would. He's familiar enough with the grenades, and the phones just need a little caressing, a little tinkering, to turn into a useful way to detonate the trap without putting himself at any risk. No unsightly blood, no chips of bone and hair whipping through the air.

Tom might delude himself into thinking it's easier to live with himself if he doesn't see any of the carnage happening, but the truth is that he doesn't particularly care. Being away from the site of the bombing means little more to him than not having to cover his ears or look out for flying shrapnel when he kills however many people are in unfortunately close proximity to his trap. People have died at his hands before, and they will again; this isn't personal, this isn't traumatic, this is just Wednesday.

Maybe the Roombas will even clean it up before he has to stomach the smell before the dinner buffet.

He hits a button on the flip phone and waits for the muted sounds of bangs and screams that are sure to follow.

In the food court, the grenades go off pop pop pop pop, six of them, within a space of twenty seconds. Two of them are taped under tables, two stashed by the hot water that keeps the seafood warm, two near the nacho cheese and fryer oil so scalding liquid is thrown into the air with everything else. The sound would be deafening, like a crack in the universe near anyone unfortunate enough to be within range, but by then they're unlikely to be able to hear it, given that they may be in several pieces at that point.

Within seconds the food court has become a nightmare.
