 The 226th Annual Hunger Games

Intro:  Once President Paylor took over Panem, all Districts were so happy and treated equally. The citizens of the Capitol, though, did not like this at all! The Capitol residents hated being on the same equality level as the Districts! They no longer had as much money to spend on themselves! The Capitol was outraged! So, one night a group of Captol men disabled all cameras and murdered President Paylor while she was asleep! The Districts could only pray that the new President would be as gracious as President Paylor, but, of course, this did not happen. A strict and commanding Capitol woman took over the nation of Panem! She insisted, against all complaints, that Panem will be run as it was in President Snow's time! Therefore, the Hunger Games were held annually once again, with District 13 once again a Games-participating district, and each Games promised to be extra horrific and torturous to the tributes which only made the Capitol feel even more powerful.

''All escorts and stylists from the last Games were fired; they were blamed for making the tributes die off so quickly. President Ivory searched for people to blame and fire for the failure of the last Games.''

Reapings
Brooke Xena- I stepped onto my patio and was met by my boyfriend, Cole. He closed my hand in his fist and I released a high-pitched squeal. "I just got my nails done this morning!" He withdrew his hand and placed his arm around my shoulder, instead. "Sorry," he replied as he leaned over to kiss my cherry red lips. I allowed him to touch them slightly, but was afraid he would ruin the lipstick. We walk side by side to the Square. I hate the heat that was radiating from the sun so I insist Cole run back to my home to get my sun umbrella. He dashes to my house and returns in record time with my umbrella. He holds it over me as I smoothen my hair. Not long after, we reach the Square and everyone steps aside so I can reach the Peacekeeper who pricks my finger. He forcefully stabs my finger and draws a drop of blood. Cole notices me wincing and shoots the Peacekeeper a threatening look. The Peacekeeper throws up his hands to show that he meant no harm. I don't wait for Cole to finish with the Peacekeeper before I walk to my designated area with the other 16-year-olds. The moment Cole catches up with me, I hear the escort begin the ceramony. We start by watching the pointless video about the Dark Days and then a newer one about the 2nd Rebellion. I roll my eyes; who would want to stop the Games? It is an honor to participate in them! When the videos are finished, our escort introduces herself. "Hello, District 1," she begins, "My name is Sarah, but I would prefer you all call me Sae!" she spreads her lips into a grin. "Let's start with our lovely ladies." Her hand rumages through the jar. She calls out the name, "Brooke Xena!" I react dramatically by jumping up and down in excitement. I regroup myself and take my stance on the stage beside her. I see Cole clapping for me in the audience.

Lion Scrapes- The temperature was steadily rising. We have been having an extreme heat wave in our district an it's been miserable, but today, I ignore the discomfort. I am ready for the Reaping. I finished my training for the Games last month, and I know I have reached my phsical peak; I am going to do anything to get into that arena. Well, I jog the whole way to the Square without realising it. I was too busy watching for my girlfriend, Destiny, to notice I am already here. Destiny said she would meet me this morning, but she never showed up. Suddenly, someone wraps their arms around my chest. I turn and hit heads with Destiny, "hi." She greets me with a smile. That's when I notice her wearing glasses. "Destiny," I begin. She interupts with enthusiasm, "I know what you are going to say! Aren't they beautiful," she gestures towards them. They enlarge her emerald eyes and block the natural shine that they have. I make a face of disgust and knock her aside. I start towards the Peacekeeper to get my finger pricks but she pushes past me. "Haven't you ever heard of 'ladies first'?" She spits. I roll my eyes at her dramatics and let her go ahead. After I get my finger pricked, I notice the most gorgeaus girl I have ever seen. I keep trying to get to her but am cut off by other potential-tributes. I ignore the videos and the escorts introduction, trying to get to that beautful girl. Suddenly, she walks away. She goes onto stage! We will be together in the arena! Then, I send my attention to the escort as she draws the boy tribute's slip. She doesn't even open it before I lunge forward to volunteer. I shake the girl tribute, Brooke,'s hand and bend down to kiss it gently. When I look back up, she is blushing and giving me a winning smile.

The Interview Host
The interview host for these Games will be Piper Bristol. Piper is a female who was extremely sad when the Games were cancelled in President Paylor's time, but she eventually saw how cruel and barbaric the Games really were. That realization made her want to be the interview host when the Games started again with President Ivory. She felt that as interview host she could help encourage the tributes and keep them as hopeful and optimistic as possible.

She tries to be as fantastic as Caeser Flickerman and she exceeds beyond expectations. She is wonderful and can coax a conversation out of almost any tribute. She only makes jokes at her own expense and puts a positive spin on anything the tribute says. She always puts on her most stunning smile while she is on stage so the tributes feel more welcome. Piper always says the right thing at the right time. She is a perfect host.

Piper has long, way hair that is brown and has pink, purple, and blue highlights. She is actually pretty, in a way. Her eyes are a deep blue, and she has long eyelashes with tiny butterflies scattered over them. She wears purple eyeshadow and lipstick. Piper dresses in a long, white, sleeveless gown with a purple belt around her waist.

Head Gamemaker
The Head Gamemaker for these Games is a 23-year-old, Jennifer Ellie. She is easily offended, and when she is angry she can be murderous. She is very harsh and demanding, and if you catch her in a good mood, you've obviously been extremely nice to her or you know her very well. Also, she will do anything to make the Games as bloody as possible. She adores mutts and will contribute as many deadly additions to the Games as possible. And because of her love of a tribute's bloody death, she will make the arena extra harsh, dangerous, and, of course, deadly

The Games Announcer
Alexander Barry is the Announcer for the 226th annual Hunger Games! His phrase that announces the beginning of the Games is, "Tributes, welcome to the Hunger Games' arena! Remember, only one tribute may win! So, best of luck, and let the Games begin!"
