Yes I'm Free

Free Falling

Katherine Farrow

President of Panem

Well since that meeting went worse than I anticipated here I am at the GameMakers lab. I've always wondered what it's like inside these things. I always imagined a hole in the wall with a bunch of nerds walking around with sandwiches in their hands.

It's entirely the opposite.

What takes me back the most is that these are truly beautiful people. I mean you'd expect such from the Capitol, but some of these ladies and gentlemen in here would put their models to shame. The one that stands out the most to me is Alexandra Rabble, she's the co-head GameMaker along with her twin brother Alexander. Aesthetically pleasing in every way you can tell that she is used to getting what she wants.

I don't trust her. Girls like that always have their gears turning in their heads. I should know, I was one.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," says Alexander as he walks up to greet me with his sister by his side. "There were some last minutes things that we needed to look into."

He ushers me through a huge lab and navigating me through the various elements that are going to make this games a success. I see the different ideas they have for future games, and let me tell you. It's a doozy.

We walk to a giant holographic view of the arena and I go slack jawed staring at it. "This isn't what I think it is...is it?"

"Oh, but it is, Ms. Farrow," says Alexandra excitedly as she walks over to the hologram and begins pushing buttons. She selects an overview of the entire arena and I the first thing I notice is the size. It's considerably smaller than the arena's we've seen in the past. I don't know if it's going to make the games super short or if this will be an average length game.

"Don't let the size fool you." says Alexander smiling vindictively. "It has plenty of room for hiding and different spots. It will in no way be a short event."

Well, I'm sure the council will be happy to hear that.

"It's a space center." says Alexandra. "The stars that you see on the screen are in no way a simulated thing. The tributes that are going into this arena will be flown into outer space. Before Panem took over, in the dark days, countries and civilizations from all over would attempt to do what we're doing."

"What are you doing?"

"We're putting a colony up there. All of the resources these kids need will be up there. The only difference is the kids will need to fight for survival and food. We've obviously stuffed each bag to the full with the supplies that they'd need for a few days, but after that, it's game on." she says with a menacing smile. "I'm really excited for this. This was a map drawn out when you were in the games, Ms. Farrow."

"Well I'm glad that you enjoy what you do," I say. She's freaking me out. Just by her movements and the way she looks at me. This girl is up to something. I'm not sure what quite yet, but she has something up her sleeve. "What about sponsors. How can you send gifts if the tributes are in space?"

"We have a list of what's available this year." begins Alexander. "Unlike years before, the customers can't randomly decide what to send, the list is preselected. We've loaded a number of things into the craft already, and we are launching it into space today." he looks down at his watch and smiles. "Actually, we're just about a takeoff. Would you like to see, Ms. Farrow?"

I nod my head and we begin our walk towards a large hallway that looks to be an add-on of the building. It has a giant window that is literally the entire wall for the hallway. Though the space craft was small compared to normal arenas, that doesn't take away from the enormity of what it is in all actuality.

"I must say, I'm impressed." I say to the twins as they smile broadly.

It's a large circle with what seems to be different columns attached to each other. The different wings are separated in rectangular shapes and they look as though they can come apart. There is a large needle at the top of the craft, and I'm assuming it's where they'll get the signal to broadcast the games.

"In 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...BLAST OFF!" screams Alexandra in glee as the engine roars to life on the craft. Fire shoots from the bottom and the spaceship shoots into the air. We watch it until all we see is a little speck in the sky.

"Well, that was exciting!" says Alexander. "Good work, sis!"

They do this weird handshake and then hug as they twirl around jumping.

"Very good you two." I say with a smile. "I look forward to working with you next year." I say extending my hand. Of course that's just a formality. If my plan works, there won't be a next year.

"Yes mam." they say in unison. "We promise the next games will be a success as well!"

I smile even though I'm severely unsettled they said that at the exact same time and begin my walk out the hallway and towards the exit of the lab.

What better way to end the prologues than with the arena! After a long time coming I finally selected the tributes for the 31st games! I had gotten over 55 submissions, and because of that I was unable to pick everyone that submitted. I hope that there are no hard feelings if you weren't picked because it's honestly nothing personal. I felt bad turning some of these guys away because they were all so good!

The list can be found at freefallinghg. Weebly . com if you remove the spaces. Blog reviews are excellent and always appreciated.

**BE SURE TO LOOK AT EVERY DISTRICT. I had to change a lot around tbh*** also some FC didn't work out...they looked hella old but I did my best

Traits is a new thing I did to replace strengths and weaknesses. Everytime I see the blogs made I see some weaknesses that should be strengths and vice versa. This leaves it up to your interpretation.

District 1 reapings up next!

Hope you enjoy!

Keep it classy,

Caleb
