Hello everybody! This is a new SYOT I was hoping to get started and off the ground. Of course, in order to do this, I will need you guys to send in tributes. I will post the form on my profile, and the list of the spots available and a list of the tributes will be posted at the bottom of this introductory chapter. Please, please, please participate in helping me get started writing and creating this fanfiction! Also, even if you don't really want to send in a character, if you could still read my story and review it. Support and feedback would greatly be appreciated as well.

I descended down the steps slowly, progressing towards the blindingly white table in front of me. My heels clacked against the ground, the only noise that pierced the empty silence that filled the room otherwise. My last chance to make sure everything was perfect. After last year, I could not afford to make a mistake again. My hand swished through the air, activating the sensors that projected a holographic dome before me. Everything was in perfect detail. I could see every grain of sand down towards the beach, every red, golden, and orange leaf on the trees. Capitol technology is amazing. My eyes quickly scanned over the map, analyzing every inch. This was a skill I had honed from years of practice. I was sure the president was going to love what I had in store for the tributes this year. If this didn't go perfectly to plan, I would lose my job as Head Gamemaker. Then how would I care for Carlotta? My daughter and I would be left broke, with no form of income since her father had left me years ago. The memory still stung. This was my last chance, and I had to get it right for my daughter.

"Evelynn," a young man said, striding into my office. His words broke through my thoughts.

"What is it Collin?" I asked impatiently. Collin was my assistant and helped control the weather and climate around the arena. He was new this year, and he was full of energy and life. My job was very demanding, and I could always use to have some kind of beacon around here, keeping my spirits lifted. Of course, he could be irritating at times. And at the moment, I was particularly snappy. I had barely gotten any sleep last night, because I had been making last minute edits to the arena. I stifled a yawn as Collin responded.

"The president is here to see you," he said nervously, not sure how I would react.

"What?" I was shocked. The president usually didn't busy himself with the games until after the reapings. To him, they were just a necessity, something that had to happen every year. The rebellion had faded from everyone's memories. 100 years since the last war. Our new president, Evan Johnson, didn't want the Hunger Games to continue. He thought they were too much work, and too expensive. Of course, that isn't what the rest of the Capitol thought. They adored the Hunger Games, and protests disturbed the normally peaceful streets. President Johnson, fearing for what would happen if he didn't let them continue, allowed for the Hunger Games to become a tradition again every year. I knew something was happening in the Districts, but it wasn't my business to get involved. As long as it didn't come here to the Capitol, I was safe.

"Evelynn," Collin's impatient voice cut through my thoughts. "You don't want to keep the president waiting..." He was right. Evan was not known for being a patient man.

"Okay, okay," I sighed. "Lead the way." Collin turned and moved briskly towards the stairs. As we strode upwards, I tried to come up with a reason why the president would want to see me. I could seem to think of a valid excuse. Collin halted as we reached the ornate door that would lead me to the president.

"Come in," a voice called from inside. He had definitely been waiting for me. "Ah, Evelynn," Evan announced as I stepped into his office, his face contorting into a forced smile. "I hope everything has been going well?"

"Yes, thank you," I replied in a polite tone. It wouldn't do to upset the president by being rude. "The arena is going to be spectacular this year, I am sure of it."

"We'll see," Evan murmured, frowning slightly. "May I see the arena?"

I was taken by surprise. Never before had the president asked me to show me the arena for the games beforehand. What was going on?

"I suppose so," I responded, pulling a small device out of my pocket. I pressed the power button, and a holographic arena appeared in the air before me.

"Excellent, excellent," Evan muttered, his eyes taking into account every detail. The snowy mountains in the fourth quadrant. The graveyard in the third. The sandcastle in the second. The orchard in the first. I grinned.

"There is one more twist I have in store for these tributes..." I whispered, bending down so only Evan could hear.
