A quick interlude to announce the arena! I hope it entertains you while I write the next reaping.

President Moon,
With an overwhelming resound, we have decided upon this year's arena. It will be an 'Urban Jungle'. Following is an extended description of the arena.
The Cornucopia sits in the center of an old park. A broke stone road weaves through the Tribute Circle, leading deeper into the park in one direction and into the city in another. Around the Cornucopia are overgrown playgrounds, a forest and a lake, dubbed Lake Julia. If you follow the overgrown road south, you reach a dilapidated Manor. Following the road further south, you reach the edge of the park and enter the 'Urban' area. The city is overgrown with plants, towering vines and trees that choke the buildings. There are ways to get inside the buildings, and they prove to be excellent hiding spots. The largest building is a mall, bordered on one side by a river and on the other by a small school. Woods fill up the empty spaces.
The park is filled with strange creatures of our own inventions. Lake Julia is inhabited by an aquatic monster, the Julia Monster. Creatures we call Beasts inhabit the commercial building. Rabid animals roam free throughout the 'city', especially in residential areas. There is one house in the arena that resembles the home of a tribute. Should a tribute find their home and get inside, they will be rewarded.
We hope it pleases you,
Head Gamemaker Julius Documenta.
