User blog:ClovelyMarvelous/The First Centennial - Allegiance

Iulius Valentine, the President of twenty-five years, greeted the Citizens of Panem with a warm, yet intimidating smile. His crimson hair swept down his forehead like dripping blood. His skin had a radiance that seemed almost unnatural. The podium on which he stood down seemed like that of a God. In nearly all aspects, Valentine was a perfect president, lived a perfect lifestyle, and was the face of a perfect nation.

He paused. In front of him, an ornate box. From the left appeared an enthusiastic, young blonde lady clad nearly head-to-toe in frilly lilac, heels almost increasing her height by a quarter. Typical, exaggerated Capitol fashion.

With the creamy, yellow envelope in his hands, Valentine read aloud in a low voice as smooth as dark chocolate.

"On the first Centennial, as a reminder to the rebels that loyalty is a choice, the reaped this year shall have the option to keep their position... "

Another pause.

"...or to elect another in their place."

"We believe our Nation of Panem has grown greatly since the difficulties faced one hundred years ago and we anticipate that all Districts will continue to represent the Nation in the best light. Citizen or traitor, the choice is your own. Allegiance to Panem today, tomorrow, and forever."

The stream shut off, the screen went black, and the children of Panem were forced to choose.

Acceptance or betrayal.

Rules
Hello! This is the fourth Quarter Quell and the 100th Hunger Games.

KEEP IN MIND: This story takes place twenty-six years post-Mockingjay, a failed rebellion which prosecuted many across all Districts and as well as in the Capitol. The victor this year was neither Katniss nor Peeta, but Cato Ludwig of District 2. The rebellion was masked as a mass, internal terroristic attack. Ever since, the government has been reformed, the President reelected following the death of President Snow, and Panem is at its peak. The nation is stronger than ever and the same is to be said of the laws.

Please read the preface for this year's twist before continuing. This will be a very interactive, mentor/user based Game. Your activity increases the chances of your tribute surviving these games. Your activity may also decrease the chances of a fellow mentor's tribute surviving. I ask that you be creative but still realistic in your tribute entries. If reaped, I urge you to join the Discord server in which discussion is encouraged and sponsorship will take place. There will be a max of TWO tributes per mentor. Reservations will last two days and may stack. (Four days for a second tribute.) If your tribute is elected, you are allowed to have a second tribute of yours have a cameo! Please use real images.

Best of luck.
