*Head Gamemaker Persephone*

"I'm surrounded by idiots..."

All around me, people scurry to put the final touches on this years arena. There will be muttations, cliffs, deserts...

This arena has to be amazing. After all, it is going to be hosting the Fourth Quarter Quell.

"Persephone!" I spin around, and find myself face to face with the most known person in all of Panem.

"President Arianna."

Arianna's skin looks paler than usual, and there are bags gathering under her normally youthful eyes. Everything about her looks warn out, and exhausted.

However, it is not Arianna's appearence that I'm drawn to, but the immaculate looking file that she's clenching in her hands.

There's a moment of uncomfortable silence that Arianna fortunately breaks by clearing her throat.

"Persephone," Arianna says, "I'm so sorry to just interrupt you at a time like this. I mean, after all the Games are in a few weeks..."

I nod attentively as Arianna continues to speak, "Anyways, I hope it's not to late to turn in a new idea for this years arena."

I watch as Arianna hands the file that she's been clutching in her hand to me.

I shake my head quickly, "Madam President, I'm afraid I cannot alter anything about the arena. It's been in construction for the past fifteen years! I have no authorization to go through with any of this! Besides, even if I was able to redesign the arena legally, there's just no time to. After all, the games are in three weeks..." I stop speaking the moment that I notice how enraged Arianna's become by my statement.

"I'm sorry! Last time I checked, I run this counrty. I get the final say in everything, including this arena! Now, I want you to finish the new arena by next week, or I'll find someone else who can," Arianna says softly.

I bob my head up and down, "Yes, Madam President. I understand, I'll have the new arena done by tomorrow."

"Good. I trust you won't dissapoint me, Persephone."

I don't watch as Arianna walks away, but I do listen to the familiar click-clack of her heels echoing across the linoleum floor.

"This is going to be a busy week..."
