The 101st Hunger Games
Hey! It's skgirl4ever and I'm doing ANOTHER SYOT Hunger Games! This time, it's the 101st Hunger Games and I promise you, it's unlike many others. Big changes are being made and President Coriolanus Snow just passed away, leaving his son, Joulis Snow to rule Panem, and it is the start of the second century of the annual Hunger Games. I'll let my tribute, Liana Maples take it from here.
Liana 'Li-Li' Maples POV (District Three)
My family and I all crowded around our little T.V. as we watched Joulis Snow, President Coriolanus Snow's son sign some papers declaring that he will be the President of all Panem. He's only eighteen and apparently the only living son his father has.
I hate to admit it, but Joulis was kind of decent-looking, unlike his snake-eyed father. He had dark blue hair that looked a bit like black and golden eyes. He was pretty well-built for his age and hs skin was pale, but not as pale as his father's.
The now President Joulis finished signing the papers and gave the cameras a smile that literally blinded half the cameras and started his speech.
President Joulis opened his arms to the cameras, as if embracing all of us. "Thank you all for supporting me in these very sad times. As you all know, my wonderful father has just passed away from old age and has left me, his only living son, to take care of Panem. I will try my best to please all of you and continue what my father, rest in peace, has started. I know it's almost time for our annual Hunger Games, but I have decided to make some...slight changes to the Hunger Games." He pauses to let this new information sink in.
My family gasps. "What changes? More tributes from each district?" My mother asks. "Isn't twenty-four tributes and twenty-three of them dying enough?"
President Joulis continues. "I know you're all dying to know these new changes and here they are. First off, do you all remember District Thirteen?"
The cameras flash to people in the audience nodding and cursing.
"Well," President Joulis says, "I have decided to have District Thirteen back." Everyone gasps, including us. "They will still be in charge of Graphite and Nuclear Development but will be watched more closely if they ever decide to rebel against us again. District Thirteen will be occupied by the same people that occupied it twenty-five years ago." So that means they let them out of prison.
"There is also another change to the districts. A new district will be formed." Everyone gasps again and I'm shocked. District Thirteen rebuilt and another district is being made; that means four more tributes for the Hunger Games!
"It will be District Fourteen and will be in charge of our water supply. In the past, it was District Four that was also in charge of water supply, but it was a lot of hard work filtering the salt water and so the new district will be where our ancestors called either Niagara Falls, Horseshoe Falls or the American Falls. The district is made up of families from District 1, 2, and 4." President pauses again and lets us process the information.
Then he continues. "There is one more change that we would like to make. Since the Hunger Games inbetween each Quarter Quell tend to be a bit boring, the Gamemakers and I have made a new rule. In past years, only Quarter Quells had a twist, and we have now decided that every Hunger Games will have a twist while the Quarter Quells will have three." He smiles as we take it all in. "This year, along with our four additional tributes, there is another twist. There will be no Cornucopia." People gasp. He smiles. "Later on, I will explain it futher."
President Joulis grins at the cameras. "That is all. Good night Panem and may the odds be ever in your favour!"
Then the screen goes black.
And my family starts talking.
My little sister looks at me with her big wide brown eyes. She tugs my jet black hair. "Li-Li, what wrong? What the man on T.V. say? Did he say he give me birthday cake for my birthday party?"
I tried to give her a happy smile. Maisee was so little, so innocent. I couldn't make her suffer watching the Hunger Games. She can never know about them until she has to, so I'll lie and try to get that birthday cake for her.
"Yes Maisee. The man on T.V. says he'll get you a birthday cake."
She beams at me. "Really?"
She looked so happy. I kept my smile in place.
"Really."
And that's the twist for the 101st Hunger Games! So instead of twenty-four tributes, there will be twenty-eight and a twist every year and Quarter Quells three twists. And, of course, no Cornucopia. Now, I can't write this story without tributes so...send me some! You can PM or review them to me, I don't really care. As of now, District Three will be closed for my own tributes and I'll fill in some of the other slots later for my bloodbath tributes. The District Seven girl and Twelve boy slots are also taken. You can send up to two tributes. AND READ VERY CAREFULLY. There are different tribute forms. One is for tributes from Districts 1-13, and one is for tributes from District Fourteen. Feel free to send a third application for District Fourteen and I'll choose the best ones. District Fourteen is a Career district, just so you know.
