Quentin "Q" Continuum settles into his seat next to Flickerman, ready to commentate over another oh-so-exciting Hunger Games. Hopefully something interesting will actually happen this year. Hopefully the bartender this year remembers how to actually mix drinks. It's hard being Q.

"Think any of them will step off the pedestals early this year?" he drawls to Flickerman as some extremely forgettable gofer brings him his drink. Q takes a sip. Acceptable. He nods and waves the gofer away.

2's male tribute's frustrated yell is perhaps surprising for those watching. For the other Tributes less so, though they all have their own problems to deal with.

The boy from 9, felled by the girl from 1, Chintz, while he tried for one of the blades laying near the entrance of the Cornucopia, killed by the very weapon he was going after. She leaves him slumped over the crate to bleed out. The girl from 11 goes just as quickly, at the end of a thrown trident, and the boy from 6 finds himself the victim of another arrow but it's hardly a kill shot. Dobby from 1 finishes him off with several blows to the head from a mace.

From there, for the Career Pack and allies it's time to start an inventory of the riches of the Cornucopia, not a second glance spared to the dead. The hovercrafts will collect the fallen soon enough. And once they know what they have, they can start their hunting in earnest.
