Happy 100th Hunger Games

 

[David]

David : I sit in front of the TV Screen , tonight they introduce the quarter quell and well am kinda excited to see what it is , its the 100th Hunger Games it has to be something special my Dad brings us popcorn and turns on the TV the Anthem Horns of Plenty plays and then their he is Snow


President Snow : "As you know this is the centennial of the Hunger Games , a very special year it is for this great nation and now " I pull out the envelope I already know what it is I know every District Parent must be shaking in their boots I open the envelope


Jay : My heart is pounding with anticipation as my Mother Father me and my two older brothers watch the president open the quarter quell envelope what could it be I think to myself


President Snow : I open the envelope and pretend to be surprised "Well this is the most interesting quarter quell I've read since the 75th, it says here that the president can pick the terms and conditions of the games , Hm let me thing this is so unexpected"


Brutus: The president gets to chose the quarter quell I think sitting with my Dad I turn to him and say " This is going to be the best ever we have Snow making the rules not some old man "


President Snow: " I got it " I say in false shock " This year the career tributes of 1, 2 and 4 shall cooperate as a team for their loyalty to Panem and the treacherous Districts of 12 and 13 for their crimes of starting the Rebellions that rocked are land will send 8 tributes instead of 2 "


David : I can't believe what i'm hearing the Careers will work as a team I know right their at in the pit of my stomach


David , Brutus and Jay : I have to volunteer as Tribute

 

[ReminiscenceOfRegret]

~Timeskip~

Lei:

I stand amongst the large crowds of people who shuffle about to find their place. Everyone seems pumped up, awaiting the announcement of tributes from our district. They can't wait to volunteer. They desperately cling to the hope of declaring themselves a tribute, with aspirations to become victors and heroes. Yet, they're not going to do so. I'll be a volunteer. I'll be the victor. I'll be the hero. I won't allow for anyone else to take my rightful place on that stage. I didn't waste my life training away for nothing. And this is my last year to volunteer. My last chance to prove myself. I can't let it slip away from now.

Rory:

I fix my skirt with steady hands, gaze fixated on the stage while people chatter around me. I'm not disturbed, nor am I curious as to what they say. I already know what preoccupies their conversations. The reaping. The tributes selected. The volunteering. They're all enthused about who shall be selected, about who will take their turn in this endless game. I'm not bothered by this. If my name isn't called, I shall take the person's place, but not out of prideful reasons like glory and fame. I just want to play the game. See where it goes, see what I'm capable of doing in an arena with so many people all seeking my death. I'm exicted at the prospect of putting my hard earned training into action, and getting away from this place with memories of my father.

Luna:

My palms are sweaty from my anxiety. I'm not scared, necessarily, just uncertain. I've trained so long for this moment, but I'm unsure if I'm ready for it. I'm not completely confident in my abilities, despite the praise I've received from instructors. I suppose I should stop listening to them. They call me sensitive, jabbing at my emotions like there is something wrong with them. Like they keep me from being human. But they seem like they've lost their humanity to me. With their dark eyes and cruel smiles. They've become heartless beings, incapable of mercy and love. Perhaps that is what is to become of me too. Once I volunteer. Once I take the steps to that stage and accept this honor. Because that's what it's all about, isn't it? Being a hero by volunteering? I shall follow through with these plans, facing my uncertainty, but I refuse to let it change who I am.

Lei, Rory, and Luna: We all watch as the announncer makes their way onto the stage, standing between two bowls filled to the brim with names. All people who want to be a part of these games. This year, straying from tradition, they will choose men first.

David : Men first this year Thank God District 4's Careers are the most relax I stand in Charleston ( District 4's Capitol City ) Waiting for names to be drawn this years 18 year old Careers are all unwilling , unwilling to leave the coast , unwilling to compete in the games I know this because after the the Quarter Quell was called I started asking any 18 year old male if they were interested in volunteering not in my town and from what I can hear no one who is 18 and has a willy gives a damn about the Hunger Games good I can volunteer the Capitol Escort Effie Turbid a pretty Capitol lady says


Effie : "Boys first " I say walking over and pulling out a name " Edwin Jones "


David : A lanky 18 year old sighs and begins to walk towards the stage " Wait!" I call out " I volunteer as tribute " Jones looks relived that he will get to stay hear in 4 away from the killing as I approach the stage I can feel every eye in the District on me their probably thinking what is that little pip squeak doing up their as I take the stage I am asked my name "David Maultsby" I say I hear a little sob from the parents section my Mom...... It's fine I think as the crow cheers for their Male tribute , theirs no way I can loses I think I have 5 others to watch my back and i'm an expert with a sword


Brutus: Reaping Day I think Standing in the boys section "smells like victory" I tell my friend Jason as we wait for the ceremonies to begin when the Capitol Attendant George Tindings a man with a purple suite and white hair takes the stage the crowed goes silent after the film has been shown and everything is set, George makes a slight breach in protocol "Gentleman First" he says and before he can reach his hand into the reaping bowl I shout " I volunteer" and it's deiced , from the time last year everyone in my class agreed to stay out of the way on reaping day they knew that I had the best shoot at coming home I say my odds have just doubled since I have 5 permanent allies I take the stage and shake Mr. Tindings hand and when asked my name I say "Brutus Mosby Patton "


Jay: A reaping riot on man it's happened again five huge career boys are fighting to get on District 1's Stage looks like i'm not going to be a victor how can I get passed those guys then I see it an opening between their legs quietly I crawl under the huge boys legs and run up the stairs to meet out escort Thomas Rockson when he asks for my name I say proudly " Jay Ashley " looks like being small has it's advantages


OCC: Could you play the female escort from 4?
