Note: okay, I might use a few Easter eggs, but see if you can spot them all ;) I'm just experimenting with different writing styles, so don't get too bothered if it changes.

PS: I don't know whether I'll use a sponsoring system, but I might introduce it during the games.

District 1

"Right," said the flamboyant escort, Alicia. She wore a silver dress, coated with pearls, "Before we get started, may I please introduce this year's mentor, Charly Venus!"

A young woman stepped onto stage, smiling and waving at the cheering crowd. Her green-gold dress shimmered in the bright lights.

"Thank you all so much!" She said. She didn't sound like someone who had competed in the Hunger Games and probably killed people.

"I am so very grateful for this wonderful opportunity, and I cant wait to see who I get to teach everything I know!"

Alicia shook her hand and Charly sat down at a seat to the side of the stage.

"Girls first!" She exclaimed, walking to a contraption. It looked like a slot machine, but with names of children. On the blank screen, the president's name appeared, Zoe Dawson, in spiralling letters. People cheered at the name, as it disappeared, and the machine started scrolling through the people. The whole district waited in anticipation, as the scrolling names slowed down, finally landing on a name: Emerson Rushings. A girl stood up from the audience. The look on her face was one of shock, but she just walked to the stage, almost hypnotised. She faltered, as a girl stood up and embraced her. She breathed in, but wrapped her hands around her neck, and gently eased her away, tenderly smiling, and continued walking. The girl sat down, not caring about the people looking at her.

"And how old are you darling?"

"seventeen"

"Well that's a great age to be, almost at the top, eh?"

She walked away and Emerson backed up into her chair.

"Right, let's go,"

She spun the wheel, and the name popped up, "Stane Agering!"

Before he could stand up, a boy rose and yelled, "I volunteer!"

He strode to the stage, a little too confidently, and walked up the stairs.

"And what is your name?"

"Jayden Tate," he said, "And I'm 18,"

"Very good to know," She said with a smile, "Anyway, tributes, please rise and give a final goodbye to the audience."

The crowd applauded as Jayden and Emerson reluctantly smiled and waved. Then, Alicia nudged them away.
