On a grandiose platform in the Capitol, President Snow stood between two large glass bowls - each twelve times larger than the vessels that bore the names during regular reapings. The 70th Hunger Games, being a quell, were a special occasion: each tribute would be reaped regardless of their district.
This meant that Snow would be drawing each of the twenty-four names personally, and the single reaping would be broadcast to each district, where the twelve-to-eighteen were gathered as usual.
A cold, haughty smile spread across his face as he stepped up to the podium. "It is time," he said, addressing the entire anxious nation, "to select twenty-four tributes to represent their chosen districts in the 70th Hunger Games. Let us begin the Reaping!"
OOC- RPing is allowed. If you wish to volunteer, let the tribute post first either accepting or stepping down from their place for volunteers, and then post. If the tribute doesn't reply by Tuesday, February 10th, a staff member will post saying that volunteering is open. Please do not post until you see this staff message. Volunteering is first-come, first-serve, with the exception of characters who have threaded with the tribute who has stepped down, who will receive precedence within a three-hour window.
Tributes, please do not make your acceptance or denial of your spot in character; instead, please leave an ooc note at the end of your post stating whether they accept or are stepping down for volunteers.
Also, and this is really important: If you have been selected as a tribute and plan on going into the arena, we HIGHLY SUGGEST you take some RP Tutoring lessons ASAP. It doesn't matter what level RPer you are; everyone can use a little help. RPing a tribute is a privilege; if you're not going to put the time and effort into making your posts the best they can be then you can count yourself among the dead.. It's not a requirement, but please please please just consider the lessons. They'll help even the most advanced RPer.
