This Is The Stuff Of Nightmares SYOT

by MaximumAngel1

It's the 66th Hunger Games, and it's bound to be the best one yet. The Gamemakers have a surprise in store for this year's tributes: their very own fears and nightmares will be harnessed to break them down and ultimately kill them. Who will make it out of this living nightmare alive? SYOT open! Rated T for tacos and general Hunger-Games-ness.

1. Prologue and SYOT info

Welcome to my very first SYOT! I'll give you the preview 1st, then the rules and tribute form. Sooooo…

PROLOGUE:

Sinking. Drowning. Her head thrashed up, breaking the waves, and then was slammed back under by the wave. Her vision blurred, then became fuzzy, then faded to black. She was going to-

Wake up. Head Gamemaker Sylica Xavier shot up in her bed, restless from the nightmare. She rubbed her sleepy head and peered at the digital wall interface.

"Time, please," she spoke clearly. The wall lit up, numbers glowing red (her personal preference). 4:23 AM. She sighed. It was too early to wake up, but too late to fall back asleep. She rolled out of bed and went to her closet.

That was a terrible nightmare, she thought. Only in her dreams could her fears be harnessed in such a way. As she was getting dressed in her blood red dress shirt and grey slacks, she realized the true meaning of her dream. It was a sign. She grinned, flashing her pearly whites in the darkness.

She took an energy shot in the kitchen, and was immediately awoken from any sleep that was left in her system. She grabbed herself a quick breakfast, and pulled out her palm computer.

She opened up the e-mail interface and messaged President Snow.

President Snow-

It would be at my greatest convenience to have an urgent meeting with you regarding this year's Hunger Games. I have an idea that will make this year positively unforgettable. Would you be able to meet with me today? I can clear my schedule at any time, for this is of the utmost importance. I would like to begin creating the arena and muttations as soon as possible. Thank you very much,

Head Gamemaker Sylica Xavier.

Sylica smiled and pressed 'SEND' on the computer. Soon after, she left for work, stepping out of her penthouse suite and going down the clear glass tube elevator. She smiled at the nighttime view of The Capitol. Soon, the only thought crossing the city's mind would be how spectacular the 66th Hunger Games would be.

After working a few hours on getting a list of potential businesses and individuals that might sponsor a tribute (they had to sign up first, then choose their tribute), she received a reply from the president himself. She would meet with him for lunch at the most expensive café within a mile of the President's mansion. Only the best for the President, she thought wryly. She got back to work compiling the list, feeling a bit unfocused on it, however. Her mind was only on the Games.

"Hello, Ms. Xavier. Please, sit," said the President, motioning to the empty chair in the private room. She sat down in the deep red velvet chair. A waitress brought her a glass of water and then hurried out nervously, like a shy puppy.

"Hello, President Snow. Let me just say, it is quite the pleasure to be meeting with you. Thank you for the honor. I have come up with the perfect theme for this year's games," she explained.

The President nodded. "Tell me."

Sylica grinned. "The theme of this year will be Nightmares."

Snow smiled evilly in a way that only he could pull off. "Yes," he said. "This is perfect. I like it already. Go ahead and work with it, Ms. Xavier. But please, make it terrifying. Make it the worst thing that the tributes have ever even dreamed of."

-If a district slot is full, I will move your tribute.

-I can decline a tribute if I really want to.

-I can also make minor changes if I really want to (I will discuss them with you first).

-I CHOOSE WHO WINS.

-Submit through PM only. If you're a Guest, please just make an account. It only takes a minute.
