"Another fanfiction Illogical? But you haven't finished like, THREE already!"

Yes. I am aware of that. I should stop thinking of ideas.

Stupid brain.

Fun Fact: Does not take place in the 1419th annual Hunger Games. 'Tis a reference, thought I'm sure most of you who read the book could guess that.


"Wake up, tributes! The games start in one hour!"

"Ugh… Where the hell am I?" Desmond's head hurt. The last thing he remembered was…

Well, he didn't remember all too much.

The loudspeakers came on again. "Hello! Now, you may be wondering where you are."

"Yes, yes I am." Desmond said to himself.

"Well, to answer that question, you're in Panem. Some of you might know where that is, some of you might not. But that's not important. What is important however, that you have been "invited" to participate in the annual Hunger Games! And this year's will be very special indeed. There are twenty-four of you in total, and you will fight to the death."

"Now, usually there can only be one winner. However, we are going to make a small exception this year. Each one of you has been put on a team with one other tribute. If you both survive until the end, you can both win. In five seconds, you will meet your partner. Get to know them! You'll be trusting them with your life, after all."

A wall to the left of Desmond slid open, revealing a similar room, with one bed.

"Hello! I'm the Doctor! You are?" The two shook hands.

"I'm… Desmond. You're a doctor?"

"No, I'm not A Doctor, I'm THE Doctor. Pleasure to meet you Desmond."

"Alright, now that you've met your teammate, you should notice some boxes on your beds."

Desmond turned, and sure enough, a small box had appeared on top of his bed.

"If you open those boxes, you should find something that will help you in the arena. They all have to do with your... previous professions."

Desmond picked up the small box, and the top flew open. He looked inside, and he found two things. A silver compass with the Assassin's insignia on it, and a hidden blade.

"You may be wondering where we found these, but don't worry about that for now. What's important is that these items could mean life or death for you, and you partner. Try not to lose them."

"Now normally, you would receive prior training before the games, but considering that we chose you for your skill, I doubt you'll need any. You have fifty minutes before the games start, feel free to enjoy the many services we will be providing, such as room service. You may want to consider eating now, as food may be scarce during the games. Good Luck, and Happy Hunger Games."
