Here is the intro to the 100th HUNGER GAMES, or the FOURTH QUARTER QUELL!
Hi, Diary! It's time for the Quarter Quell announcement. It's my first Quarter Quell, so I'm super excited. I can't wait! As soon as President Vandara Vetrios herself reads the announcement, I'll type up the whole thing so I start the Quell off right! This is Aurora Austriallis, and I'm ready to go!
President Vetrios approached the microphone and started her speech. "Once again, it is time to announce the Quarter Quell. The Quarter Quell comes about every twenty-five years. It gives Quell Games a fresh new twist. On the First Quarter Quell, for example, only men were reaped for the games to show that even the strongest in your districts, the men, are vulnerable. On the Second Quarter Quell, the Tributes were put in an Arena that had no Cornucopia, to show that the Capitol is not always willing to give things away to those who have not earned it. For the Third and most Recent Quarter Quell, the contestants were placed in a Labyrinth with pure white everything, to drive them insane as a result of the brilliant lights.
"For this Quarter Quell," here she stopped and signaled the small boy to bring her the Quell Box that had been much feared in all the Districts. He carried it up the steps and laid it on the table right next to President Vetrios. Vandara opened and stared at the yellowed envelopes. Three were already open, and the fourth was right before her fingertips. She drew it out of the box and turned back to the cameras.
"For this Quarter Quell, as a sign to the Districts that the Capitol is always merciful, only twelve Tributes will be Reaped total." Here she refolded the paper and slipped it back into the envelope. Vandara then placed the envelope back into the box and snapped her fingers, summoning the boy to take the box away again.
"This means that each odd District will place all the names of the eligible males into the Reaping bowl, and one name will be drawn at random. The even Districts will place all the names of the eligible females into the Reaping bowl, and again, names will be drawn at random.
Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds..." here she paused and smiled cynically, "be ever in your favor."
I need tributes! I don't think that this story will be as long as a normal SYOT because I'll only have half the tributes as normal. I also need the District 10 Female for my other SYOT, "The 99th Hunger Games." Have fun sending in tributes, and this will be a first come, first served basis. I will accept tributes through PM only, but I will take reservations via review.
I will not update this story untill I have all my tributes, as I want to do a one-chapter Reaping. The form is in my profile, and I will only be accepting a maximum of two tributes per person. Thank you, and don't forget to "Live life for the moment, because everything else is uncertain."
