I decided to edit the first few chapters as a sort of lead in to the Games.

Then I edited it again to explain the 37.5th Hunger Games. Really it's just an excuse to use the victor as a mentor in my new story and write a multichapter about the 37th Hunger Games but canon-wise I've got an explanation ready.

WELCOME TO THE 37.5th HUNGER GAMES:

"To remember how valuable communication was to the war, this year, every contestant shall become an Avox by the end of the first night, or be punished with certain death."

Reich Davis was 103 years old and his hair was disappearing faster than Capitol surgery could cover up. He'd heard of old Head Gamemakers being made... redundant because they were 'too old' but he couldn't imagine ever being too old or too sick to rule over the Hunger Games. He was the king of the Games, 30 of the 37 years as Head Gamemaker, fitting that the date fell on the first ever Half Quell. The 37th Games had ended somewhat... badly to say the least and the retribution was to be short and swift; a second Games in a year and a Quell twist just to leave no doubt in Panem's eyes that rebellion was not going to be tolerated. Reich Davis couldn't wait to get his hands on the tributes and deal out the punishment in the most poorly organised and most interesting Games ever.

It was three months to go before the Games and he couldn't wait for the slaughter to begin. If there was one thing that made Reich Davis happy, it was the smell of blood wafting up from the arena, the sight of freshly broken skin. It was almost too much to bear, waiting the three months before he could finally begin his Half Quell.
