Survival…was that not really what this was about. Gaston wanted to spend the whole day here, learn everything he could. He had the basics down but needed to know, need to know everything that could be thrown at him. He started by hitting the survival manuals. He immediately skipped over the basics, he knew the basics, and he had been training for this for a long time. What he needed were details. Plants…the book was huge. He began to study all of them. Next to him was a cheat sheet though…one he was making. A camera seemed to follow them everywhere so he figured that his would get pretty boring if he did not keep things active.
“So I am pretty certain that there will be many plants and animals that we have seen in these games, I would also suspect that there are plenty of things we have not seen.” Things that the capitol might make just for them. Joy…
“So instead of simply memorizing everything about every plant and animal, which I do not have time for. I am making comparisons of commonalities between plants. Should something special be made it still must follow the rules of genetics? At least loosely. As such if I know the commonalities of poisonous plants, or how to properly cook anything. Then even a curve ball will not faze me inside the games.”
Needless to say it was a stretch but from going from books, to starting fires in several different ways, to even working on making fish hooks out of the worst matierals…he would be ready by the end of it. He showed natural skill in these survival tasks but now with the training he would be a force. No he would probably not have any of the sponsors even remotely attracted to this. He was thinking long term again.
Long term was going to win him this, and the dedication to study would save his life.
