I stare at Mr. Lloyd in confusion. He can't be serious. Head Gamemaker is one of the most illustrious positions in the Capitol, second to only the president. To just decide to retire after one year...The man must be truly insane.

"Ah, I see your confusion Pollux- may I call you Pollux?" Mr. Lloyd starts his explanation. I nod dumbly. "Good, anyway you're wondering why I would give up such a position, such an opportunity. The answer, my dear boy, is my health. All these politics aren't good for me in my old age."

"Why me?" My question isn't asked rudely, but it isn't polite to question such an offer. Mr. Lloyd doesn't seem offended though.

"I see potential in you, Pollux O'Carthy. You're made of the same stuff I was. If anybody can put the tributes througb the ringer it's you."

"I appreciate this sir," I thank him. My gratitude is sincere, but sounds half-hearted. Ideas are swirling through my head:mutts, epic battles forced by my hand, darkness, and raw survival. I can finally create the picture rather than just painting it.

A/N:

Hey guys! This is my third SYOT, and I have so many ideas, but they all depend on what kind of tributes get submitted. This will be documenting the 61st games. If you have an account, please pm me your forms, but if you don't then you can submit it by review.
