**ROLEPLAY POST! OPENING CEREMONY!** Credit to the outfits goes to the awesome Anna Lodwick. District one: You’re dressed in crisp suits of white linin. Up the front of the draped jackets are panels of intricate silver embroidery with the number One as a recurring pattern. There are diamond studs at the collar and sparkling in the centre of the large silver buttons. On your head is a circlet of platinum with the number ‘one’ picked out in diamonds. Your hair has temporarily been died bright silver to match your costume. District 2: Your stylist adjusts your tunic with an expert tug. When you look down, you see that you are dressed in a simple, sleeveless garment, covered in smooth, regular grey pebble like beads. When you move, they catch the light attractively and chink against each other a little. On your head is a crown, a subtly different shape from that of a victor, but instead of metal, it seems to have been carved from solid stone. District 3: You are dressed in a sleek, black and grey outfit of trousers and a long sleeved shirt. The material itself looks futuristic and technically advanced; it is pitch black and feels like smooth plastic to the touch. Superimposed on the black are silver symbols, all relating to technology; at a glance, you see icons from a computer screen, coils of wire, electrical symbols and old fashioned cogs from clockwork mechanisms. District 4: You’re already wearing a simple pair of trousers and a T-shirt in pale blue silk when your stylist pulls something else over your head. When you look, you see that it is an elaborate tunic, constructed of many layers of sea-green gauzy material. On the edges of the tears of fabric are silver sequins, shells and discs of mother of pearl. Around your neck is a rope of dried seaweed with another disc of iridescent mother of pearl dangling from it. District 5: Your costume is essentially made from wire. The simple cloth jump suit you are wearing is completely obscured by the coils of bright silver wire that cover it. You look as though you yourself have been wrapped in them. At intervals along the silver strands, blue fairy lights dimly flicker, making you look like you really hold a weak electric charge. On your head is a circlet of the wire, with a slightly larger blue light positioned in between your eyes. District 6: You’re wearing a simple white leotard with black leggings. On the white has been embroidered a network of black lines, some like train tracks, some with arrows on them looking like roads. Around your waist is a belt that has been made out of miniature car wheels, complete with tiny tires. On your head is a circlet, made to look like a mini train track; as you watch, a model train circles the track, a replica of the train that brought you here. District 7 Trees, again. Your stylist puts you into a sleek grey tunic and slippery silver tights. Each item of clothing is intricately marked with strange, rough patterns; you are meant to look as though you are covered in birch bark. Around your shoulders they pull layers of long, artificial silvery branches, covered with glossy golden leaves that seem to be made of a paper thin plastic. Garlands of these same gold leaves are woven into your hair and you make a slight rustling sound every time you turn your head. District 8: Each item of your clothing has been made out of a different fabric in a different colour and pattern. Your shirt is bright, lemon yellow silk, your leggings are salmon pink velvet; around your shoulders is pulled a tailored jacket in navy blue brocade. Around your neck is added a red satin scarf, with lime green tassels on the end. On your head is a head band made from a patch work of all the other materials. District 9: You’re dressed in sleek green leggings, made to look like the leaves from a crop. Your simple chestnut brown vest has been embroidered with beads that are intended to look like grain seeds and you are crowned with a complicated headdress made of dried corn husks and wheat sheaves spray painted gold. Around your shoulders is a green cape made of the same cloth as your leggings. District 10: Your stylist pulls something soft around your shoulders to complete your costume. When you look in the mirror, you see that you are clad in simple leather leggings, a sheepskin tunic and a cloak that looks for all the world like its been constructed from white chicken’s feathers. When you reach up to touch it, you realise that that is exactly what it is. The crowning glory is a comb of red chicken feathers, positioned atop your head. District 11: You are dressed in a vibrant orange tunic and leggings, edged in life like golden representations of the leaves of various fruit baring trees and vines. Around your shoulders is a short cloak made of golden vine leaves and around your waist is a black belt, its buckle a golden representation of a bunch of grapes. On your head is a simple straw sun hat, spray painted gold, held in place with an orange ribbon that ties under your chin. District 12: You are dressed in a pitch black jumpsuit made of a glossy velvet like material. Around your waist is an elaborate belt, constructed out of blocks of lustrous snowflake obsidian, intended to look like coals. A pendant, made out of the same beautiful stone, hangs on a black cord around your neck and a circlet made of artfully blackened metal rests atop your head. Your eyes have been dramatically outlined in coal and a few, supposedly deliberate, smudges of the stuff have been left on your cheeks and jaw.
