@Announcer: "War. Terrible war. Widows... Orphans... a motherless child... This was the uprising that rocked our land.
13 Districts rebelled against the country that fed them... loved them... protected them...
Brother turned on brother until nothing remained.
And then came the peace... Hard fought... Sorely won. A people rose up from the ashes. And a new era was born.
But freedom has a cost... When the traitors were defeated, we swore as a nation we would never know this treason again...
And so it was decreed that each year, the various districts of Panem would offer up in tribute one young man and woman, to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice.
The lone victor, bathed in riches, would serve as a reminder of our generosity and our forgiveness.
This is how we remember our past.
This is how we safeguard our future."
...
*Drops mic* Now that that's over with...


*Pulls out piece of paper* Our first lucky choice... @Booklover, please come up to the stand. Before I continue selecting, do we have any volunteers?

@Announcer: Welcome, darling. You are lucky to have been chosen for this honor. Now... *Pulls out another paper* ...since no one else has volunteered, we shall keep drawing until we have enough. @Captain Wortshire. @Scott McLamok. @shisteer of nothing much. @Sebias of Redwall. Come up to the stand.

@Announcer: "Ah, welcome, dear child. Please come up to the stand. You are about to have the honor of fighting for your very life in an arena. If you survive, you shall bring glory and honor to yourself. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!" *@Announcer peers out into the crowd* "Any more? If not, we shall bring the few brave souls we have and prepare them while we wait for the next volunteers."

*Platoon of guards snatches Teer from the crowd* *The guards grab Herman and Russa for good measure*

@Announcer: "Now, we have enough for now. The first batch will come with us and train for the Upcoming Games. May the odds be ever in your favor." *The guards shuffle the beasts into a train, and the journey begins*

@Announcer: "Feel free to visit with each other." *Flashes a grin* "It's not like you'll be killing each other in a few day sor anything. Or wait..."
