Ninetieth Hunger Games

Nathaniel Evergold, Head Gamemaker

President Augustus' Office

The cool air swirled around the office space as the man shivered. He was already that nervous before and the shivers totally didn't help out at all. He had been finalizing the arena mutts when he was suddenly summoned to the office of the President.

He didn't get this last year during the Eighty-Ninth Hunger Games so his fear had doubled up again. He fiddled with his hands as he thought of all the things that he could have done that may not be what the President would like.

There was nothing he could think of at that moment. When he was led to the office there was no one in sight but he promptly took a seat at the desk and decided to wait patiently in silence. Of course with the silence the man was left to dwell on his errors and misfortune. With questions after questions being asked to end up simply with one question left being asked.

"What did I do wrong?"

He paused momentarily hearing the small gruff from a new voice. He turned almost as quickly as he heard the voice in the vast silence. He saw the President, hands behind his back a smug grin on his face.

The blue eyes of his connects to his own almost as if to say 'fear me'. To no shock at all he does fear him. He tried to look elsewhere as the man moved towards his own desk and then finally sat down on his own chair.

The atmosphere became tense as Augustus leaned forward and looked directly at Nathaniel's eyes once again. He smiled then started laugh amused at something that Nathaniel didn't know, desperately wanted to know.

"Don't you worry yourself my boy," He cried out and leaned back into his chair. "I just thought you were working too hard so I decided to give you a break."

After he had finished his sentence an avox appeared from behind the large wooden doors carrying with her a tray of tea and various cakes. She had placed it down on the desk and was quickly dismissed by Augustus. The avox bowed her head and left almost as fast as she had come in.

Nathaniel now watched as Augustus poured the tea onto the pristine white cups. He dropped two sugar cubes in each before pushing the saucer with the teacup towards the Gamemaker. He swallowed the lump within his throat before her lifted the teacup and guided it towards his lips.

"Of course that's not the only thing I wanted you here for." He said once Nathaniel had taken a sip of the steaming hot tea.

The pale look he gave the President made him laugh before assuring him that he did not poison his Head Gamemaker.

"You worry too much!" He continues to laugh before he took a sip of his own tea with delight. "I was snooping around your office the other day and found a file."

Another swallow sounded like a gulp from Nathaniel as his blue eyes widen at the prospect of immediate termination. He watched as Augustus pulled a drawer open and took out the classic beige file with a red stamp saying 'CLASSIFIED' on it.

He dropped it on the table and opened it up as he spread the contents onto the table. The blue eyed Gamemaker scrunched his eyes as he wondered what this was before coming to realise that it was the plan he had of the next Games after the current one.

"Sir, I do apologise deeply for planning the next Games," He began. "I was being proactive about my position as Head Gamemaker."

"Nathaniel." The tone from his voice had dropped to a more serious one now making the man that sat opposite him tremble slightly. "Need I remind you that we are still in the Ninetieth Hunger Games?"

"No, sir. I understand that fully, sir." Nathaniel looked down at the velvet red of the carpet. "This was just something I drew up after my first year of being a Head Gamemaker is all. I wanted to make it for the Ninetieth but decided against because I think the current arena now is the best as it can get."

President Augustus seemed to accept his answer as he took another sip of tea. He smiled once more before closing the contents of the folder. He handed it to Nathaniel.

"Well as long as it's not distracting you then it will be fine."

"I didn't even notice it was gone, sir."

"I've read the contents of that folder, Nathaniel, and I can say with all my heart that I love the concept."

"Thank you, sir." There was a slight boost of confidence in Nathaniel's mind there and he was elated at the words the President has said

"Which is why you will make this concept the Ninety-First Hunger Games as another year of Head Gamemaker!"

With that Nathaniel Evergold has been dismissed with a simple wave of a hand. He was clearly happy with himself as he exited the large wooden doors and into the empty hallway. He opened up the folder again seeing various pictures taped to everything with detailed explanation for each.

"At least I survive for another year."

Hello! Yes I have decided to open up for submissions for my very own SYOT. It's a bit daunting really, I don't know how well I'll portray people's tributes but I'll try my hardest!

Just a couple of ground rules:

-PM me all your forms! If you can't PM me then send it to me via email (will be on my profile along with forms)

-Be detailed! The more detail you add the better it is I get to understand them. I don't want your character just blending into the background, I want them to stand out, even if you make them boring give them something that will perk my interest.

-It's not a first come first serve so submit whenever you want (Within the deadline of course.)

-Use mental traits for Strengths/Weaknesses so I can write them easily.

-I will make a blog out of the tributes, as I think it's easier for me to access rather than having tons of word document opened. Therefore a face-claim should be submitted along with the form, don't need a picture just the name!

-If your tribute didn't make it, fear not! I have plenty more SYOTs that I'm planning so I'll get back to you on that, if you're still interested.

That's it so far. The deadline will either be the end of August or whenever I think there's a sufficient number of ideal tributes.

Well happy submitting and remember you can e-mail me them if you don't have a Fanfiction account or PM me them. No reviews please as it will ruin the surprise. If you review a form chances are it will get ignored. (I do apologise in advance, if I did ignore you.) Form is on my profile!

EDIT: I have noticed that people aren't reading the bits at the bottom for the Mental Traits. I don't want anything physical just anything non-physical based. (It's a mistake on my part for not explaining hard enough and for that I apologise.) What I want for Strengths and Weaknesses is a list of traits not a whole paragraph. I prefer you do longer paragraphs in the Personality and History/Background sections!

An example:

Strengths: Clever, Loyal, Cunning, Tough, Prideful

Weaknesses: Naive, Trusting, Annoying, Loud, Just
