Introduction
An official letter of correspondence from the President:

To the Citizens of Panem - 

''The designated district escorts are currently preparing for the Reapings in their respective districts. Please be prompt on Reaping Day; our peacekeepers will not take kindly to those absent from this prosperous event. This year's Games promises to be a truly stunning one, with innovation from the Gamemakers that has never been seen before. As you are all well aware, the event will begin with the Opening Ceremonies, where the selected tributes will be showcased at the City Circle in the Capitol. From there, our tributes will be interviewed by the acclaimed Caesar Flickerman in front of a sizeable audience. The tributes will then hone their skills and learn new ones in the Training Centre under the instruction of weapons and combat expert Atala, and undertake private sessions with the Gamemakers. Once these have been completed, the Games will commence! Throughout the Games, sponsorship money will be collected by Capitol officials who will oversee the purchasing of gifts.''

May the odds be EVER in your favor, and Happy Hunger Games!
