Hello lovely Citizens! I'm so sorry for not posting yesterday, but I shall recap all the crazy events that have happened. Day 4:
Tributes in the forest are woken up by a raging fire! Katniss was up in a tree and was most affected by it, obtaining a large burn on her leg and hands. Some of her clothing is burnt as well. She made it to another source of water and received medicine from her sponsor/mentor.
The Careers (including Peeta!) were searching through the forest, and found Katniss!!!! Luckily for her, she managed to scramble up a tree while the Careers tried but failed to catch her.
Katniss is now stuck in the trees as the Careers are camping out around it so she can't escape easily...

Day 5:
Katniss wakes up still in the tree with the Careers and Peeta sleeping below her.
Katniss spots Rue who points out a tracker jacker nest near her that she can drop on the Careers. AND she does so, by sawing off the branch with the nest as the tracker jackers are kind of sleepy from the smoke.
The tracker jacker nest broke open when it hit the ground, instantly making the Careers targets since they hone in on anything dangerous to them. Most of the Careers start heading to the lake, but the females of District 1 and 4 don't make it.
Peeta seems to warn Katniss to run, but she thinks it's a hallucination. I wonder why he now seems to want to protect her...
Katniss picks up Glimmer's bow and arrows. Does she even know how to use them???
Everyone stung by the tracker jackers end up collapsing. For how long, we will have to wait and watch.
Day 2 and 3 have been a little boring since Day 1 was extremely exciting. So far, only the District 8 female has died (killed by the Careers!). Tributes have been generally dehydrated since they all are hiding from the Careers who are camped out by the lake. However, just a few hours ago, Katniss found a pond and is starting to recover from dehydration!. I'm sure others have found water or were sent water, but we haven't seen
Cinna
On a further note, let's talk about something more fun! The outfits seen during the Opening Ceremonies and Interviews are officially "in"! The most popular are the ones worn by Katniss, and designed by Cinna and Portia, her stylists. They will definitely be big trendsetters in the future. Look through the gallery below for photos and descriptions of all 74th Hunger Games inspired outfits in the Capitol.
The moment we were waiting for, well let's just say it WASN'T anticlimactic at all. We saw that this year's arena is mostly forest with a lake as the only known (found) source of water so far. There are the normal alliances: The Careers, made up of District 1, 2, and the female from 4 (since the male died). But surprisingly, they let the boy from District 3 and PEETA of District 12 join! Are they all going to hunt down the Capitol fave, Katniss Everdeen? Let's hope not, but it would surely be exciting nevertheless.
So far, 11 tributes have died: District 3 female, District 4 male,District 5 male, both from District 6, both from District 7, District 8 male, both from District 9, and the District 10 female. They will soon be shown to the remaining tributes through the nightly projections.
