Nathan stood at the computer screen Mic at the ready. The time had come for him to finally play test his product of the Hunger Games video game before out was open to the Capital. It stared the first 25 games so far, and was highly restricted to members of his district reserved only for those who signed the forms for play testing. Even him the game designer was not allowed to stay in the virtual system for long. So it was his job to guid the play testers through it while they were interacting with the virtual plane.

It was a strict 1 level per tester policy to prevent a lucky soul from gaining an edge in the games, though he had managed to accumulate data enough from all 25 levels of the game. Testing initiated. Welcome to the Hunger Games Play testing experience.He spoke into the mic the volunteered play testers.Thank you for your help in this simulation. You will be given 24 hours to survive in this simulated reenactment of the 25th hunger games. Please report bugs upon release from your pod.

Leaning back in his chair he pressed the go button. A timer started down from 60 as the play testers selected their characters.Let the play testing commence.Nathan liked to watch the play testers, play around in the harmless virtual hunger games, it was his work and he was proud. This would surely grant him good standing amongst the capital residents.

Thinking

Saying

Doing

Colti put his headset on and adjusted the mic to be in the perfect spot as the designer started the test. This can't be to hard. And if it's for the capitol, I might gain some rep for testing it. If this turns out to be big, he will be famous. He stuck a lamb chop in his mouth to suck on as he selected character. Let's get this thing started!

Rubbing her eye while yawning she looked out at the near empty streets of the District with only a couple of people making their hurried way to God knows where. Glancing downwards she gave the piece of paper with the information for her job one last glance, Okay, it should be just along here… Turning her head she spotted a building that matched the description, rubbing her neck she looked around and started making her way inside, it had been quite some time she had been picked to test a game, normally it was mostly Television sets and the like which got boring pretty quickly so when the chance to be able to test out a game was opened she leaped at the opportunity and was one of the first to sign up. The letter they had sent her was very basic; it pretty much just stated directions for how to get to the place. Any information on the game was very vague; all she had been able to pick out was that it was some sort of simulation game.

Pushing the door into a dark room where the only light was that being emitted by the computer screens. Blinking, her eyes soon adjusted to the darkness and she made her way around the testing area, spotting a chair where there was a piece of laminated paper with her name on it. Reserved, for me? Shrugging she walked up to it, picking up the headset and controller she sat in the chair. Placing the headset on she lay the controller on her lap and looked to her side, she saw a boy, in the dim light she could only make out his curly blonde hair. Turning to the front this was the first time she had noticed him being there, someone at what seemed to be the controllers of the game and just as if he had been reading her mind, the speakers crackled and then a voice, his voice. 25th hunger games? So the game was a simulation on that gore fest, she didn’t like the games but she had to admit, being able to enter the games, do all the fighting while knowing in her heart that she couldn’t get hurt and she wasn’t doing actual harm to anybody was a pretty cool idea. Smirking she looked up to the ceiling while thinking quietly to herself, Prepare to lose boys. And with that thought in her head she selected the female character from district 3.

Walking down the side walk, I saw a beautiful yellow flower. "Wow it's so pretty." amazement found in my tone of voice. "No don't get side tracked this time you have to hurry up before it's to late." I reminded myself. Walking past the buildings of my district, I reminisce on the time I signed up for this testing thing.

I was walking down the same road with the same enthusiastic expression on my face. Catching my attention a man dressed in a lab gown was walking clumsily. Giggles filled the lane because of me. Briskly walking I catch up with the man and asked if I could help him.
He obviously said yes. When we reached a particular building he asked if i wanted to join a simulation test. Curiosity building in me, I said yes.

So here I am. Standing on the same building I dropped him off to. Entering the building for the first time around because I just dropped him off in the front of the building. I see two kids in the computer already. Moving close to the empty chair next to the girl, I sat. Placed my headphones on and listened. All I remembered from what the guy said was a simulator game of the 25th hunger games. "Now this is gonna be fun I can tell." I tell myself loudly with a slight chuckle.

OCC--sorry if the post is terrible will try to edit it later.

Alright Every one is online, and one last thing. May the odds be ever in your favor. Nathan added the last bit with a small hint of humorous sarcasm. His job would be to watch the three contestants and 21 CPU and look for any glitches. The lights dimmed and he engaged the virtual system, interlocking the play testers senses into that of the game.

1... 2... 3... Let the games beginThe simulation was on. As an added trick the only thing different about this game from the original 1st quarter quell was that the map was randomly generated. While it loaded the players would have a brief intro where they would select skills to be trained and watch there interview. As they finally finished, the map had simulated what appeared to be a gigantic shallow lake full of trees and rock islands that appeared to float in the sky. The cornucopia lay in the middle of the contestants but deep enough under water that it was all submerged, excess gear floating just above it.

Nathan was proud of his accomplishment in the random generator. While it did not give players game history to the letter every game was different and even physics would never be exactly what it seamed. Now to watch. He linked his hands and leaned back. The capital will love this.
