25TH FALL QUARTER

QUELL

For the 25th Quarter Quell, there will be two Hunger Games. This second one will have the Quell of Teams. The rules for this will be more explained later, however you may reply to this thread in roleplay with your character's reaction to the Quell. This announcement was made 2 weeks before the Reaping of the 25th Fall Hunger Games, some time in the final weeks of July. As if the Reaping was in the beginning of August.

Gorran Vilumovsson, the President of Panem, looks out into the crowd with a huge smile from the Capitol. He isn't visiting the Districts, but there is a screen in which the inhabitants of each District can see him on, the same one they use for the video they show in the Reaping about Panem's history. The Capitolites cheer in front of him, as his eyes glow of surprise. "Hello, all of Panem!" he says. "Welcome to the 25th Fall Hunger Games Quell Announcement!" he stated. Gorran opens the envelope with the Capitol's crest as the seal, and reads aloud into the microphone for all to hear. "We've seen so many Tributes make it to the end together. And we've even seen so many turn on their own Partners. As a reminder that you cannot trust anyone, the quell of the 25th Fall Hunger Games will be Teams." He stepped down from the Podium in the City Circle, and proceeded back into the building as the crowd yelled and shouted excitedly.

All Residents of the District, including Peacekeepers and Avoxes are allowed to post in this Thread. Remember that coming to this announcement is a requirement in Panem, so no one could have missed it.

Gathering in the square was not such a bad place; not for Current Bayford, anyway. He didn't always look at things as if they were dangerous or completely out to kill him, that wasn't the way his mind worked. In fact, as he gathered among his district within the City Circle, a smile threatened to breach his lips, but he kept it under wraps because it was probably unnecessary to hold such low regard for these things.

The President was already at his podium, greeting all of Panem and holding a bright envelop to the crowd. Everyone was quiet, at least it would stay that way until the man left the podium. Eventually, it was announced that the newest Quarter Quell would feature teams and Current was sorta taken a back by the twist. No matter. He couldn't spend another year in District Four, not when his chances of volunteering or just generally being in the Hunger Games was slipping away from him.

Maybe this time - Current Bayford would get a party in his victory.
