25TH HUNGER

GAMES :

QUARTER QUELL

Rag & Bone's first Hunger Games is a Quarter Quell. This quell adds a twist to that year's Games, allowing the Capitol to redefine it's power over the Districts of Panem. These Quells happen every 25 years, and in character this is the First Quarter Quell. Note that characters do not know about Quell's yet, so when roleplaying, don't say they were waiting on it, it is a surprise from the Capitol. To the members playing Tributes, if you have questions, just PM Tony or The Hunger Games Account. The account of Gorran Vilumovsson is a NPC account, and only posts on special occasions, such as the Hunger Games, for Gorran is the Head Gamemaker.

Gorran Vilumovsson, Head Gamemaker walks out of the Justice Building doors, after they have been opened by Peacekeepers, to the microphone in the middle of the stage in the District. His face shows sympathy, known as the "Sympathetic Gamemaker", Vilumovsson most likely isn't liking this announcement he is about to make, but he has to follow the orders of the President.
"Attention all residents of District Two. I, Gorran Vilumovsson am here on a special mission. A mission of Panem. To reaffirm that you, the District residents, have no power over the Capitol. Lately, we've noticed a rebellious outbreak in some Districts. And as a reminder, the Capitol has a special event for you to take part in. Every twenty-five years, the Capitol will host a Quarter Quell Hunger Games. Through these Games the Capitol will re-establish it's ever-growing control over you, the District residents. Each of these Games will have a Quell, a special trademark that will add suspense to that Games. Reapings will go on as normal, unless there is a Quell that changes them somehow. This year, for the 25th Hunger Games, there will be two official Games of the year 25 ADD. One designated as Part A, and the other designated as Part B. For Part A, Tributes will not be able to get gifts from sponsors unless they kill another Tribute, as a reminder that no one is safe. Thank you for your generosity." Gorran exits into the Justice Building, as District residents ramble and react to the speech he just gave.

All residents, including Victors and Peacekeepers are allowed to respond to this thread. Future Tributes as well. However remember that Tributes have not been Reaped in character, so they are only reacting to the Quell, not that they have been reaped, for they don't know that they have been Reaped yet. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Mickey knew from experience that whenever there was an announcement to be made, it wasn't good. For some reason though he had hope. Hope that maybe the Games wouldn't be over, but the penalties in them would be.. different? What if the Tributes didn't have to kill each other? He didn't know, he was just making up reasons to actually get up and come. One was that he would be whipped if he didn't. He had so many other reasons to be whipped already.
Once he had heard the news of the Quarter Quells, Mickey was shocked. What rebellion? What? Was that their excuse? Mickey tried to watch Panem's news every day. However, they could put anything on the television and broadcast it to Two, but broadcast something else to Five or Seven. It's all up to them. Mickey felt what these children were feeling, sadness. What if some child he new were to be reaped? They would not know what they were getting into. This Quell that was written could just be a riddle, and the whole thing could be something totally different. They would only know when the Games came. A little girl was crying behind Mickey, a dear fell down his face.
