Dressed in a simple yet elegant white dress, a beautiful cat followed her stylists into a room, her dress almost floating around her. In her ears was snakelike jewelry coiling through her ears, some of it hiding her torn ear. She also wore her lucky bracelet on her left ankle. Liriel never had the chance to dress like this back in her district, and she was half excited and half nervous- a feeling she rarely felt. As she waited for something to happen, she wondered if this was all a trick. A sick prank to humiliate them. Maybe the capitol was enjoying their confusion right now. Then the doors opened, and she followed the other tributes and stood on her X. She hoped she wasn't doing anything wrong; this was her chance to show that she isn't helpless. /click, flash/ As the curtains opened, Liriel raised a paw and waved gracefully. Deciding that it wasn't enough, she blew a kiss to the audience, cherishing their oohs and ahhs. "I am delighted and honored to be in this place. May the best win!" Of course, she hated even speaking to the capitol. But as she was used to hiding her feelings, she managed to say this with an easy smile. As she neared the end, she twirled, showing off her dress. Then, she gracefully bowed. "Thank you, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
