A/N: Hello again! Just another little (very little) chapter from me before I publish the tribute introductions...

Also, Happy Valentines Day! I wanted to release this chapter today, because, you know, I thought it would be fitting. An evil joke, I know, and not that funny, but... Well, make of it what you will. ;D


"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm"


Head Gamemaker Oron Oronof strolled into the room and looked around at his team of technicians looking over maps.

"So sorry about the delay, people!" he called. "I've been, um... Busy."

And that he had; busy partying, that is. The twenty-five-year-old did love a good event, especially the ones where he was allowed get drunk. (Technically, that meant none of them, but... Well, no one was looking that last time. Or the time before. Or the time before that. Probably.)

In fact, Oron had been busy partying for six whole months now, and his technicians hadn't really known what to do, so they hadn't really done anything, as Oron was about to find out.

"Um, sir?" piped a technician. "Have you sorted out the arena, sir?"

Oron looked at him blankly. "Arena? Weren't you lot doing that?"

"No, sir."

"So it hasn't been done?"

"Well... No, sir."

"Ah."

Another technician piped up: "What are you going to do, sir?"

"Pass me a map."

Someone did.

"Ok," Oron said, looking at the map. "Do we own this blob, here?"

"That land is the British Archipelago, sir. We own parts of it."

"What about this part?"

"Yes, sir."

"Put an arena there, then."

"What kind of terrain do you want, sir?"

"Oh, just leave it how it is. That should do."

"Sir?"

But the young Head Gamemaker ad just found a party invite in his coat pocket.

"Get it all sorted, yes? Good. Now, excuse me, I have... Um, some very important... Business to attend to."

And that was that.

A massive thank you to Imp97, akasukifangirl and leven1313, who sent tributes who have been moved, and another ginormous thank you to , who sent tributes who will sadly not be used in this story.

I hope you will follow along, even if your tribute was not accepted, at least just to leave flame reviews and hate the tributes who got the spot your tribute was meant to have (It is actually quite a lot of fun! :D).

Or not. :(

Anyway, as they say, on with the show!
