Hello readers! Firstly, I would like to apologise greatly for the fall of the 175th Annual Hunger Games. I think I bit off more than I could digest and whilst I was writing it I had extremely important family issues in my life meaning I had no time to even focus on my own work never mind online. With that being said, I have created the 77th Annual Hunger Games in replacement, I now have a huge amount of time to myself and have always dreamed of creating a successful SYOT. Please submit unique tributes that will be honoured to create and bring to life! I'm excited to see how this plays out as I have huge expectations and ideas for this SYOT! And as always, May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favour!
Thank you!
Callum
Majesty Andrews, President of Panem – The Capitol
I sit in my presidential office, staring outside the tremendous window that gives me the best view I could ever wish for, my Kingdom, my Capitol, my Panem. I stare at the sun rising just behind the tribute centre where in just a few weeks' time, this year's tributes, 24 of Panems brightest stars will live for a very short but tremendous period of time, to show us who they are and how they plan to win, the 77th Annual Hunger Games. Of course, not every district will celebrating another year of the games, well, who could blame them? This years' games are going to be the deadliest we've ever had! The excitement flurries through me. I use my fingertips to feel the heavenly material of the velvet chair I am sitting, purple with red rubies engraved onto the headboard and armrests of the chair, this fabric is of course from District 8 with the rubies being from District 1. I look to the map of Panem just above the window frame as I think of the each of the 12 Districts. As I'm pondering over what tributes this year will bring when there is a knock at the doors to my office. ''Enter'' I say in a deep voice.
Giovanni Kingman, Head Gamemaker enters and shuts the golden doors tightly behind him. He is wearing a midnight blue suit with a black shirt and shoes to match. He is holding a tea tray filled with all sorts of herbal beverages from raspberry herbal tea, espresso coffee and hot chocolate. ''May I Sir?'' He asks in a polite tone.
''Please'' I respond.
Giovanni begins to pour a lemon blended tea into the china teacup along with 3 whole sugar cubes and a dash of cream. I'm surprised he knows what my go to beverage is, maybe he's trying to gain my liking for him. He tries too hard, I couldn't like him more, especially after last year's games antics, the breathtaking arena, the mutations, the gory fight between the last two tributes, the males from 1 & 4, Incredible.
He slides the cup towards me and I wave my hand carelessly at the chair opposite my bespoke desk. He sits within an instant with some sort of foamed coffee of sorts in front of him. ''So, Giovanni'' I say in an intrigued tone. ''What have you got up your sleeve for this year's games?''
''Well, Sir, this year is proving to be an unforgettable, jaw-dropping, on the edge of your seat hunger games. We have unthinkable mutations that wouldn't even appear in your deepest, darkest nightmares, the arena is getting its finishing touches as we speak, all we need now is the tributes!'' He says with pure excitement.
''I am pleased, its going to be tough to top last year, but you have my faith Giovanni'' I say with approval. Giovanni looks reassured, and grateful. Knowing I could have him executed simply within a click of my fingers.
''Very good Sir. I will keep you updated of course throughout the planning of the games'', Giovanni takes both teacups, all the sugar and cream jugs and bowls, placing them carefully on tray and heads for the door before bowing to me. He just about to close the door when he says ''Sir, Do I have permission to speak freely?'' in an anxious voice.
Intrigued, I reply with a simple ''yes''.
He looks straight towards me when he says ''I think this Hunger Games, is going to be the best we have ever had.''
I rotate my chair back to the window with the sun which has now risen over the Capitol. ''I couldn't agree more'' I say with a hint of approval.
Giovanni leaves and the door seals shut.
Just a few side notes:
This is a completely different universe to the original. Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch etc never existed.
The Districts are still the same and Districts 1, 2 & 4 are still career districts!
