"Are you sure it will work?"
The woman bends her head closer to the paper, forehead crinkled in a slight frown as she studies the map.
"Positive." That's the man next to her speaking, the designer of the map, we'll say. He has thinning, brownish hair and he looks at his companion with a gaze of confidence and sincerity.
The woman pauses, turning to face the other. She hesitates for a moment, like she is about to speak, then deciding against it, turning back to study the design.
"Trust me, it'll work." he says, taking the map from her. "Here."
Instead of passing anything to her, he turns his head to a large computer screen. Tapping it, he makes sure nobody else is around before entering in some sort of code.
The woman gasps.
She gasps because before her is a full, 3D map of the arena that has been projected onto the table before her. Strange, jagged peaks and bumps, half formed buildings, traps and snares hidden it seemed everywhere. It was formed in such intricate detail, even trees and vines could be seen.
"It's definitely been renovated." she says, brushing cyan hair out of her eyes. "How did you hide this?"
"I have my ways," the man replied, simply. "It's been a hundred years, I thought we should pay homage."
She nods, still transfixed. "But… what about the Quell? How do we know that it will work with the President's plan?"
The man shakes his head. "It will, I know it. He's already told me."
There is a gasp. "Would you like me to tell you?" he says, quietly. The woman nods.
"The catch, of sorts, for this year's Quarter Quell is special. It's been a hundred years since these games have started. So, as this year's twist, each tribute will have to repeat history. They will have each a tribute to kill, and a way to kill them, mimicking a famous death in Hunger Games history. If they fail to, or someone else kills that tribute, they will die. "
Eyy! I haven't written one of these since I was 12/13ish, on a hidden account whose name will remain anonymous. Please send in your characters by PM, I will not accept any by review. Form is in my profile, as well as guidelines, which you will HAVE to follow. This is not first come, first serve.
I will choose some more major characters, but all characters will be featured. The more I like your tribute, the more interesting and unique they are, the more likely I will choose them to play a major part in the story.
Thank you, and good luck!
