Fanmail #8

From sakura-soldier via Tumblr: This question's for the escorts of the 125th Games this time: What do you all think of each other, both in a personal sense, professional/escorting sense, etc? Also, imagine that you live in the Districts, instead of the Capitol and you're all forced to fight in the Hunger Games yourself, which district would you wanna live in/represent as and what would your preferred weapon(s) be, and why? 
~.~. 
Namibia: Oh, I get along with many of the other escorts. I know that many of them are jealous of me because of my high District, but I know that many of them respect me. I have a lot of respect for all my fellow escorts, even the youngest ones, because I believe that everyone brings something different to the table. If I had to represent a District, I'd definitely choose the District that's become my home I've escorted it for so long, District 1! Of course, in Career fashion I would wield a sword because they're so powerful!

Cerena: I do not agree with many of the other escorts' beliefs, but I am tolerant. I have particular respect for Anakyn, he's probably the best relationship I have personally with any other escort. He and I see eye to eye on many issues. If I were in the Games, I would be from a lower District, perhaps Twelve. I would use blow darts, so I could sedate, not kill. 

Alanena: I really like my other escorts! I have a particular respect for those that have been doing it for a long time and hope to be as good as them someday! I've also had the pleasure of working with Jovia from Six as our tributes often become friends. I admire her a lot, both professionally and personally, as we're very close. As for in the Games, I'd want to be a Career District so I had plenty of training of course! I would want to use knives, as they seem to be the most universal weapon found in most any Arena. 

Blushina: Of course I have nothing but respect for my fellow escorts on the professional level. As for a personal level, I hope that I'm friends with many of the other escorts. Jovia and Alanena are very nice, and Bonita seems intimidating but isn't so bad once you get to know her. If I were in the Games, I'd want to be from my District banner, Four! I would definitely use a trident, the characteristic weapon of the District. That way I'm more authentic. 

Maxim: I respect my fellow escorts, even if I don't always agree with them. Some, like Cerena, are just so boring and drab. And her son is the complete opposite. He doesn't seem to care so much about his tributes. However, I know that she and the other Career escorts have earned their positions through hard work and diligence, and I believe I was placed in a great District. If I were to be in the Games, I would probably be from District Three or Five, because that's where I would fit in the best. I would probably use a universal, simple weapon like a knife, which is light and easy to use. 

Jovia: The other escorts are great! My goodness, they're all so nice and there's so much I can learn from all of them. My favorites are those that are close to my age, of course, I love to have a day out with the girls. Alanena is great, of course, we always have fun when we're together, and I admire her professionally. Blushina is great at what she does and Bonita's good too. I admire all the escorts, even young ones like Ambrose, who wears their heart on their sleeve, and Anakyn, because he really seems to care about his tributes. If I were in the Games I would be honored to hail from District Six, my escorting District. I would go for a long-range weapon like a bow and arrow to get my targets from a distance. 

Anakyn: I'm the second-youngest here, so I have plenty to learn from everyone else. I mean, Namibia has been doing this for so long and knows how to get along with tributes. And, of course, Cerena and I have had many deep-thinking conversations. I respect all my higher-ups, and admire how hard they work. Overall, though, the escorts that I respect most as people and as professionals are the ones that obviously have their tributes' best interests at heart, no matter which District they're escorting for. *cough cough Demetrius is an asshole cough* Those are the ones I aspire to be like someday. If I were in the Games, I would probably represent District Three. That's where I go to Uni, and half of my blood. I would try to learn every weapon I could, and try to figure out how to use the mechanics of the Arena to my advantage. I'm very crafty, I could make a weapon out of most anything I reckon. 

Bonita: I can usually tolerate most of my coworkers. Sometimes, though, it's just too much. My biggest pet peeve is when they act super fake. Some, like Jovia and Alanena, are just naturally peppy all the time, but when it's forced, honey it's a train wreck. I think that I should have had priority to higher Districts over some of those people that are above me, but that's out of my control, unfortunately. I would want to be from a Career District, maybe Two, and use a strong weapon like a mace to cause quick, rough carnage. 

Demetrius: Well, I'm not too sure why I would want to get to know my coworkers on a personal level. After all, to climb up the ranks I'm going to have to start clawing them down. I respect the people that know what they want and will work to get it, like me. Ambrose is really the only escort I would ever want to have a professional or personal relationship with, the others are all fakers or pansies. Or my mother, of course. She's alright, but we don't really agree too much. If I were from a District, with this beautiful face and strong nature, I would be from One. I would use a trophy poster weapon, the mighty sword, to prove my dominance and take the title. 

Charlemagne: I have been escorting for a while, and have seen many escorts come and go. Some are not strong enough to handle the job. I love to get to know the escorts on a personal level, it's amazing how much an old man like me can learn from them. They're all so different and have different stories, different reasons for being here, and different outlooks. I enjoy working with all of them. I agree with Anakyn, though, that the escorts I admire most are those that put their tributes first, no matter what. It's amazing how I've found a second home in District Ten after all these years, and I hope they learn to do the same. If I were in the Games, I would want to represent the great District Ten. I would probably use knives as a weapon, as they are the most efficient for long-distance and close combat. 

Bonaventure: I don't talk to people very much, but the escorts aren't all so bad. There are a few I like to avoid, but no workplace will be perfect. I just try to stay out of the conflict as much as possible so I don't have many personal relationships with any escorts. Professionally, I respect them all, of course. We're all different, and I can respect that. If I were in the Games, I'd stand by District Eleven and do my best to do them proud. I would use spears, as they're a powerful long-range weapon that can be used for defense in a close-range fight. 

Ambrose: I do enjoy talking to the other escorts. I think Demetrius is right, though, I can't get too buddy buddy with them if I want to steal their spots.I want to climb the ranks as fast as humanly possible. I do admire Namibia professionally as she's very experienced, and I will take advice from most anyone on how to keep improving. As for the personal, I like to hang out with the other younger escorts occasionally, but I have plenty of other friends that I'd much prefer to spend my time with. If I were in the Games, I'd want to be from a Career District, probably Two. I'd use a sword, as they're the flashiest weapon, not to mention quick and efficient.
