Thread: the NEW hunger games (ft. Randomname98766789 & LD)

Kolton was intently listening to what Katniss said to him and found that he shared her desires. She made a good point about showing as a united front so once the train stopped, he leaned forward to press a kiss to her lips smiling lightly at her, pulling her up with him as he stood to his feet. Taking a deep breath, he gazed deeply into her eyes and squeezed her hand before exiting their room. Then, it was time to make the big entrance. So many Capitol citizens just dressed in bright colors, crazy wigs, and just being as loud as possible with bright lights flashing and looking to capture the faces of the new tributes. Confidently, Kolton strode towards the Tribute Center with Katniss right by his side. They looked as much like a team as possible without doing anything obvious like holding hands or kissing. Once they reached the inside of the building, Kolton frowned when they were told to be separated. They would each head to the Remake Center with their stylist teams to be prepped for the Tribute Parade tonight where they would be paraded out on chariots around the City Square for everyone to see. This was where the first impressions were made and when they were about to leave, Kolton stole a touch from her hand, letting his fingers run over her palm before leaving with his team. They spent time going to work on his body, waxing him, washing him, shaving him, and just trying to cover up any blemishes he had. Sighing, he thought about what Katniss said to him before and wished they had a chance before this happened. After the team finished, he met his lead stylist, Portia. From there, they ate lunch together and talked about the parade tonight. Himself and Katniss would be wearing matching costumes that could be lit on fire. It wasn't going to burn them of course but it would look as real as possible. She and Katniss' head stylist, Cinna, worked on the design together and were really excited. Kolton wondered how this would work out as he just quietly sat there, listening to his stylist team just gossip and talk while they prepared his body. Finally, Kolton was all cleaned up and dressed, ready for the parade. It had been all day that passed after they arrived to the Capitol. Kolton was now standing and waiting around in the chariot when Katniss was finally arriving. They were indeed dressed the same and Cinna was talking to them, reminding them about the fire and telling them that they should hold hands and that they should play to the crowd. Finally, the chariot was moving into the city and about halfway through, Kolton grabbed their hands and raised them up. Then, they waved to the crowd and followed Cinna's advice. After the ride was over, they listened to the speech from President Snow and then were finally finished. After it was over, the team praised them for how well it went. The flames looked so real and everything was going great for District Twelve, they definitely made an impression and after this was over, the pair was escorted up to the twelfth floor to their rooms so they could clean up. Before they went to their separate rooms, Kolton reached down to her and whispered. After you clean up... meet me on the roof, okay? After telling her this, he disappeared into his room and went to clean up.
