President Smith struts up to the podium with Head Gamemaker Wes, dressed in all white, trailing close behind him. All cameras are trained on the pair and the anthem plays in the background. The anthem ceases and the president starts his speech. He reminds Panem of the Dark Days and the birth of the Hunger Games. He explains when the laws for the Games were laid out, that every twenty-five years, the anniversary would be marked by a Quarter Quell, a glorified version of the Games.
"On the twenty-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote on the tributes who would represent it.
On the fiftieth anniversary, as a reminder that two rebels died for each Capitol citizen, every district was required to send twice as many tributes.
On the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors.
And now we honor our fourth Quarter Quell." Wes steps up from behind him holding the small wooden chest and opens the lid. The president removes the envelope marked with a bold 100 and reads the small slip within.
"On the one-hundredth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even in the Capitol's weakest moments, may they never overpower it, and the tributes shall be reaped from those with mental and physical disabilities that would such hinder performance and quality."
He neatly places the envelope back into the box. A smile plays on his lips as he departs the stage, leaving his audience in awe.
I'M BAAAACCCKK!
Hello everyone, Youghis here :)
As some of you may (or may not) know, I had tried out this story idea about a year back and had gotten positive praise and feeback from all of you wonderful people. Unfortunately, a new school year had started around the same time and thus I had to focus on my studies and could no longer continue the story.
HOWEVER, I graduated! There's no more school for me as of now and nothing to get in my way of finally going through with this story and I can only hope it gets as much popularity as it once did.
So without further ado, welcome to Battle of the Broken!
As you can see, this is an SYOT story (yay!), BUT, as it is a Quarter Quell, only disabled citizens may become tributes. HAVE FUN WITH THIS! Think of something good! Common examples are: Blind, Deaf, Mute, Physically/Mentally Disabled, Cancer, etc. be Unique and descriptive please, I just want to have fun.
Rules, Tribute Form and Sponsor rules are all on my Bio.
Read my Bio thoroughly, it will be your Bible throughout this whole party.
May the Odds be Ever in your Favour
Youghis out.
