quotes, quotes, quotes, one in every color! with so many iconic writers and tributes all in one season, it's important to give all 24 of us a chance to shine in that spotlight, baby. for these games, a group of vet members & myself are going through to read each and every trib & picking some golden quotes to represent them each week. this first week we're doing...THE REAPING :No one cares of the past anymore.

- D3 Brennan Fitzgerald ( mat )
“I’ve got it.” He says with a hand on the other boy’s shoulder. It’s stupid, it’s a betrayal to the face with eyes exploding on stage, it’s everything he’s not and yet it’s exactly the right note to follow.
Dukes face twitches as he walks towards the stage: the key was slightly sharp.
- D3 Duke Nixton ( Arrows )

"Praise and welcome the beginning of the end!"
