Black clouds rolled menacingly over the land and towards the Capital. The orange glow of the sun was snuffed out like a candle flame. Unlike most storms that The Capital got, this one bred a mild breeze. The rain began to fall, sparingly at first, then the building to a deluge that beat the water white.

Frair Rosonto was still in his candle lit study that overlooked the worst of the storm. He had to finish of his arena plans for President Snow by midnight and it was proving to be more than difficult. He had run into a number of problems when planning this arena and it was taking more time than he wanted to solve them.

The President had done a good job of ending the two year rebellion from the Districts but Frair felt that bringing the Games back this soon after the war was not the best idea. However, he had been reassured that the only way for the rebels to learn their lesson was to teach them the full extent of The Capitals power.

The President has decided to have the Quarter Quill again with the most brutal twist to date.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that seeing who was being reaped and the pre Games gave the rebels the upper hand as they was able to make alliances and plan the destruction of the arena. This year, to remind the Districts of how the rebels took advantage of The Capitals generosity, all reapings will not be shown of public TV so no one, other than that tributes District, will know who has been reaped. The tributes will be transferred straight to the Arena so they will have no chance to meet other tributes, make alliances, get their strength up and earn sponsors.

That was all good but Frair was told to build an arena that was easy to die in but still easy to survive and make alliances. It was still a TV show after all and Snow wanted it to last for as long as they could.

Frair looked over his final design, he sighed with relief. It was everything the President wanted. Or at least he hoped so.


So, don't leave me just yet. Yes, there will be no pre-Games so no chariots, no interviews, no chance to get their strength up and most of all, no chance to make ally's (other than their District partner). They will be placed at Different points in the Arena and given a backpack each. That backpack could hold anything from food to a tape measure or even spare shoes.

The only way to tell what District a tribute is from is when their faces shows up in the sky. This means we could get some lying like a District six tribute saying "I am from District two" so a career doesn't kill them.

This is done because The Capital feel like the rebels took advantage of them so they decided to take away what helps them to prove to them that it could be worse.

I am conflicted to if I should make this a SYOT/SYOC or not. If you would like to submit tributes to this, let me know and I will send you are form.
