On the hundredth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that they willingly caused the suffering of their own, tributes will be hand picked by the Capitol. The strongest, the lionhearted, the trained, and everyone in between.
/"The red light flickers, and three, two, one, and you're on live."
Before the theme music is played, Caesar Flickerman and special guest, the Head Gamemaker, exchange a swig of scotch from one of the expensive bottles and put on winning smiles for the crowd. Then the familiar music is played and though some of the audience feels as though the speakers are booming loudly into their precious ears, they listen along, standing and clapping loudly with almost plastic smiles on their bony faces, heavily adorned with powders. The music continues booming for several minutes yet the audience settles down with a simple wave of the hand, and the show is on live, the cameras watching and editing, presuming all the same from afar — the red light flickers, and three, two, one, and you're on live.
"Hello, everybody!" Caesar Flickerman says with a reassuring smile, the audience replying with applauding loudly once more. "Today, we have special guest, Head Gamemaker Selenium Marco!"
Selenium stops the applause almost immediately, looking much different than Caesar with a grave expression looming on his sagging face. "Today's broadcast will only be interrupted by me for a short time, but I was sent here by President Snow—" More clapping ensues. "Who'd like me to read what he had written on this card. Are you ready, everyone?" It's almost ridiculous how many smiles are on their faces, as though they don't have a care in the world; which they perhaps, do not.
"Hello again, citizens from the Capitol and greetings to our visitors from all of the Districts! As you all know, or have heard of, this year will mark the 100th anniversary of the honorable pageant of courage, sacrifice and honor we all know, and will forever know as the Hunger Games. For this very special occasion, the Capitol has included a twist of sorts to mark this exciting benchmark. This year, and on every 'quarter' to come, there will be an extra layer of intriguing gameplay to add to the typical games. On the hundredth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that they willingly caused the suffering of their own, tributes will be hand picked by the Capitol. The strongest, the lionhearted, the trained, and everyone in between. Thank you, and happy hunger games. May the odds be ever in your favor."
The red light flashed, and the Reading of the Card had been completed. Happy Hunger Games, indeed.

a/n: This is really short; but, then again, it's a prologue and future chapters are promised to be longer, :) I'll put the form on my profile, but please remember to PM the form. This is a first come, first serve basis, and all accepted tributes will be updated regularly on the profile. Thanks, and may the odds be ever in your favour, :)
Each review/follow receives one point, along with a submission/unique idea for the games. Also, please remember that these are the strongest tributes from each district, not the weakest or anywhere in between; then again, Mary Sue tributes will not be accepted.
There will be 4 submissions per tribute and as soon as I get then in, I'll pick.
