It was his last year as mayor, after nearly 29 years he had to finally give it up. He couldn't hold the facade of a happy mayor any longer and he resigned his post. He had seen his son fight an die in the games and it had been the last straw. Mayor Smith straightened his black tie, his eyes were somber and a bit sad as he took one long look in the mirror and sighed. "One last time Robert." He mumbled and walked out of the justice building and onto the makeshift stage. The gaunt still faces of the terrified children stared at him, they knew it was his last year too.
He approached the microphone and somberly addressed the crowd, "Well we all know why we are here lets get on with it shall we? In penance for their uprising, each district shall offer up a male and a female between the ages of 12 and 18 at a public Reaping. These tributes shall be delivered to the custody of the Capitol, and then transferred to a public arena, where they will fight to the death until a lone victor remains. Henceforth and forevermore this pageant shall be known as The Hunger Games." He nodded to the silent crowd and furled the paper back up. Nodding to the purple clad Capitolite he took his seat as she approached the microphone.
"Good morning! I hope you are excited as I am today is the day that we shall select one young man and woman for the honor of representing their home district! So with out any more waiting lets get started. As usual ladies first." Her insanely high heels clicked across the stage as she approached the first ball. Swirling her hand around the jar she removed her hand holding a single sheet of paper.
She approached the microphone opening the paper, clearing her throat she said, "Kayla Whiteraven!"
When the girl had made her way onto the stage she positioned her in the proper place and went to draw the boys name. Smiling yet again she approached the microphone and said in a dramatic fashion, "Rythan Caterbae!"
When both tributes were in place she instructed them to shake hands and then escorted them off stage and into the justice center to say one last good bye to their families

Rally The District! We need to rally all the District members here for the annual Hunger Games! It seems to us officials that not every spot here has been claimed by someone. Currently the male and female spot are open to be taken from another member.
If you currently have more than one character in the games at the moment, then you are not eligible to take the spot.
If Katie decides to return then she has no right to the spot if someone posted before her. But if she doesn't return and no one claims the spot then her character will be killed. Anyone who posts first gets first right here.

Artemis L. Johnstone
Artemis watched the reaping, nervously awaiting for the names to be called. The mayor looked beaten, and she felt pity for the poor man to have to say those awful words every year. As the capitol escort came up to the microphone to announce the tributes, Artemis became extra nervous. Her name was in there 12 times this year. That was not good odds. The lady called the first name and Artemis' breath caught in her throat. 'No...' That was her only thought before she heard a voice call out "I volunteer!". It took her a few moments to realize that she had said it, so desperate to save the twelve year old girl she sometimes babysat from going to the games.
The peacekeepers gathered her up and escorted her up to the stage, the girl she saved walking by with tears streaming down her face, but Artemis could barely make her out from her own tears. She wasn't sure if they were from fear, or joy at saving the sweet girl or a mixture of both. As she stood on the stage looking over all the kids that she had babysat or had crushes on or even met at the Hob or on the street she wiped her face free of tears and stood a little straighter, held her head a little higher, determined to make her district proud to have her represent them.
