District 1: Hot Springs
The main pool was a beautiful thing, out doors, and varying in temperature from comfortably warm to almost too hot, depending on how close you were to source of the water. Tall pines crowded around it, and in the later afternoon a snow began to fall softly. No one but the Tributes and their crowd were there, the hot springs closed for the day. The water smells slightly of minerals, and can be drank straight from the pipes the pump it into the pool.
The place also contained several hot pools deep in caves carved into the mountains, segregated by sex and with heavily suggested nudity to keep the water purer. These were the caves said to imbue the District 1 tributes with an upper hand. The caves smell stronger of the mineral, although not unpleasantly so.

That said, she waits to see what anyone else is going to to do first. She doesn't know what to do, after all.
District 4: Fishing boat trip
The boat left early in the morning, and the captain started with tour of the boat, showing off how they worked, and letting the Tributes know the ins and outs of their work. All of the sailor were friendly, although there were a few jibes about how their production was going to be cut that day. Friendly ones of course. And some seemed grateful to have an easy day at sea. For the easier and safer tasks, the tribute were allowed to help.
Most of the fishing was done in the morning, setting out and gathering nets, far from land. The day was beautiful, not too hot or too cool. When a storm began to gather in the early afternoon, they turned back to shore. On the last night they Tributes dined on delicious dolphin fish "they" had caught.

But he helped when he could, asking questions and currently was helping attach the nets for the next catch. Marveling at how well everyone knew their work and how, even with the strangeness of the tributes being there, they worked as a team.
District 5: Lake Boating
A light breakfast is served as the boat moves up, along the swollen lake and away from the dam. A light breakfast is served as they move through beautiful, red sandstone cliffs, away from civilization and deep into the nature of the west.
For lunch, the boat docks up one of the canyons, able to pull up right to a sand bank and unload a picnic for the Tributes. Some exploring is allowed, as all paths dead end or loop back to the beach, so there isn't much worry about anyone getting lost or escaping. The water is beautiful and clear, but too cold to swim in, even thought the temperature has warmed up a bit the last few days.
In the afternoon, fishing is allowed over the edge, although it is a catch and release. Finally the boat returns to the marina as the sun starts to set.
Re: District 5: Lake Boating
She is heavily medicated, and while she is sipping her coffee in a relaxed manner it is laced with something stronger to keep her from having a panic attack.
She sits very squarely inside the boat where the food is served and looking out one of the windows. She refuses to go out on deck for more then a few minutes at a time but she knows she can't spend the entire tour like this.
Her tributes need to have faith in her.
The Canyons will be a nice break from her crushing hydrophobia. She focuses on the destination rather then her current location and how much she loathes the idea.
She wonders just how deep the lake is, and if anyone would bother recovering her body if the boat sank.
For Lindsey?
But whether he wants to be or not...
Half an hour later, he is on a boat.
And he has not motherfucking forgotten. It is in fact very difficult to forget as he stares down from the rail- hands gripping it tight- at the parting waves.
When it docks, he strays from the group, wandering about for hours, until finally he loops back around to crack open a soda on the shore. He's got several more bottles settle at this side.
"Got to wanting to split an elixir?" He asks with a wry smirk at those who look too long.
District 7: Ice Skating
To get away from the city is a small hike, but soon the Tributes are at the edge of a small, perfectly smooth lake in the woods. Peacekeepers stand guard near the edge, and everyone must either be wearing their skates and on the lake, or in the small shelter that has been set up. Warm cocoa and cider an be retrieved in the shelter, as well as small snack and, as afternoon approaches, a lunch of warm pastries filled with meat, vegetables and gravy, perfect to fill up on after all the movement.

After some time passed, at last, Homura's skates skidded onto the ice. Though she looks straight and poised and confident, there was no denying that her legs and feet were slightly shaky. She never ice skated before, and no amount of bravado could hide it.
