Prologue part 2: The Arena
The green light flickered on as Caesar Flickerman came out on stage, followed by the Head Gamemaker. The crowd cheered as the theme music played brightly. After taking their seats, the music stopped and the area went silent.
"Good Evening Panem! I am once again joined by Head Game maker as tonight is the night we reveal how we're going to decide the Arena!" Caesar smiled and the people of the Capitol clapped loudly. "Now, over to Head Game maker, Selenium Marco!"
The man smiled at the Host before turning to the crowd. "Tonight, my fellow gamemakers and I are allowing you! the people of the Capitol to cast your vote for what the Arena for the Quell will be!" From the stage rises 4 bowls with a slip of paper inside of them, those slips being the 4 most popular ideas out of the gamemakers.
"Alright! Let's get it started." Standing up. Selenium made his way over quickly to the first bowl, reaching his hand down into it and grabbed the slip of paper before reading off what it said.
"Arena Idea number One! The Arena will be a standard forest/meadow arena but of course there will be a twist. Every hour we will be broadcasting a map with the location of all the Tributes on it which will let the people hunting you know your spot." The crowd grinned and Selenium went on to the next bowl"
"Idea number Two! The arena will be varied and divided into 12 wedges. Each wedge will represent a District. Examples are Districts one would be something with diamonds, District 2 would be a rocky mountain, 4 would be a saltwater lake, 7 a forest. You get the Idea. Each district pair will start next to each other but across from their Districts wedge, which means they'll have to cross the Cornucopia and everyone to get to the area they are comfortable with."
"Moving on to the next arena, It would be set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The arena would be 20 km across, and the center would be the Power Plant. Town square would act as the Cornucopia with the best equipment being in the Plant itself."
"Lastly, is the Idea of the arena being a maze! The Cornucopia is in an open place in the center. The maze will change over time, most deaths will happen when the tribute makes a wrong turn and gets stuck in a dead end passage."
Finished reading the note cards, the gamemaker goes back over to his seat to hear Caesars impressions of the arena ideas.
"Well, I am deeply impressed this year by the amazing ideas." Caesar said with a grin. "How about you folks? Aren't you excited?" He yelled out joyfully. Almost instantly, the crowd erupted in cheers and calling out their favorite ideas.
"Now that we got the ideas out of the way, it's up to you in the Capitol to vote for your favorite idea! Voting will be open from an hour from now to the week of the reapings, which is in 4 weeks. Good Night Panem, and we'll see you soon!" And with that, the show was over for the night.
"May the odds be ever in their favor." Selenium smirked as he made his way off stage and back to his room.
