Randy Mills

Randy Mills is the Victor of the Fifty-Fourth Hunger Games.

## Games Description

Arena: Scottish Highlands

Randy was passed over by most alliances because of his unimpressive intelligence and lack of ferocity. In the bloodbath he was able to grab a fanny pack with a pocketknife and a packet of soup. Upon fleeing into the hills he crossed paths with Laurel Pine of District Seven and her alliance: Aspasia Sommer of District Ten and Quinoa Farmer of District Nine. The three took pity on him and allowed him into their alliance. The alliance fed on docile haggis mutts and lived off the land for the next few days.

The most significant event in the alliance's first few days came when a herd of unicorns wandered nearby. Randy's allies quickly went over and mounted the unicorns while Randy held back. Upon concerned questioning from his allies Randy confessed that he had lost his virginity during a series of encounters of questionable consent with his sugar mamas. His allies passionately assured him that he could still be purehearted and would be allowed to ride. Randy cautiously approached the unicorns, which permitted him to ride them. The alliance then spent the next few days cavorting in the idyllic Arena with their unicorn steeds.

The alliance's first loss came when Quinoa was led astray and thrown by a puca despite her alliance's attempts to rescue her. The next came after the remaining allies enacted a desperate plan to rid the arena of Cormac Abrams and Siobhan Harrigan of District One. The three of them charged downhill at the two Careers on horseback. In the battle both Cormac and Siobhan were wounded, Cormac by Laurel's invention "instant fire", but Aspasia was fatally wounded. Laurel and Randy rallied and in their second charge Siobhan was fatally trampled by Laurel's unicorn. Randy cauterized Laurel's wounds and they prepared for the next encounter.

A moment of levity came the next day when sponsors sent Randy a palette of makeup. He and Laurel enjoyed the time to relax and bond. Randy had quickly formed close attachments with all his allies but he was especially close to Laurel, who he considered a treasured sister. They spent the next few days isolated from anyone who might have attacked them and grew even closer over talks about their lives and dreams.

When Lulu Chilcott of District Three was fatally mauled by a bear Randy and Laurel faced their worst nightmare- they were the last two in the Games. Neither was in the slightest willing to kill the other and stated so immediately. They resolved to simply refuse to fight and allow the Capitol to sort it out. The Gamemakers solved it by infecting both Tributes with Bubonic Plague. They spent the next week savoring their last days together as they slowly grew sicker. Throughout it they enjoyed the company of an ethereal pod of selkies that swam through the nearby stream in the night. Randy, being much larger and stronger, succumbed slightly slower to the disease. When Laurel grew so weak she could no longer crawl to the river to drink, Randy carried her as he crawled for both of them. He gently laid Laurel in the water and prepared himself to watch her die. Instead she slipped under the water's surface in an event still not explained. Her cannon sounded and the pod of selkies, now one member larger, swam away for the last time.

## Personality

Randy is one of the gentlest and kindest souls to enter any Arena. He is modest and unassuming, always thinking everyone around him is smarter and more important than himself. For a long time he thought his only value was what he could offer to others. Because his sugar mommas valued good looks and a bright personality that is what he sought to cultivate. His time with Laurel and his other allies allowed him to learn his own worth and he came out of the Arena a more complete person than before, even if the loss of his allies stayed with him forever.

Post-Games Randy has thrown himself into helping the poor and disadvantaged in Nine, especially the children. He set up an engineering scholarship in honor of Laurel and seeks to nurture and aid all those who carry on her legacy.

## Relationships

### Laurel Pine

Randy's closest friend and most treasured ally. He bonded with her from the start and will always remember her compassion over his past and insistence that he is not diminished by it. He was devastated when she died and did everything he could to save her. He still considers her the smartest person he has ever known.

### Narcissa Bloom

Randy's primary sugar momma. Like most of his contacts she is a lonely middle-aged woman who due to her husband's job has few friends and resorted to paying for companionship. Despite the shallow nature of their relationship she and Randy genuinely like each other and he continued to visit her after his victory. Narcissa assists Randy with his scholarship and humanitarian efforts, handling the administrative side of things.
