○ At precisely 1:45am, the Training Center HVAC system pumps a sedative gas throughout the building, rendering everyone in the building unconscious.
○ At 3:12am, the 95th Quell is announced. Tributes are woken in their suite to find it dark, cold, and — apart from their district partner — empty.
○ Tributes are somewhat disoriented as they come to. Any memories from the night before or during the gas are hazy fragments. Tributes who were not in their rooms at 1:45am were moved there. They gradually regain their faculties as time passes.
○ At 3:17am, the intercom crackles to life. The too-cheery voice of Gamemaker Bourgeois Decadence announces: "Hey besties! Head down to the Training Room, we're going to play some fun games for fabulous prizes!"
○ Ten seconds pass.
○ Through a hiss of static, Gamemaker Geiger Telemachus's deadpan the intercom "That wasn't a request."
○ Ten seconds pass.
○ A warning shot from a laser fires at any tributes that aren't yet moving in the direction of the Training Room.
○ A cannon fires.
○ The stairways, elevators, and hallways are darkened, only illuminated by emergency lighting.
When all of the tributes arrive in the Training Room, flickering silhouettes of the Head Gamemakers can be seen in the Gamemaker Suite overhead.
"Thanks for coming, everyone! This is so great," enthuses Gamemaker Decadence. "Today's fun game is a cage match. Civilized! Organized! So you can show everyone what you're made of when you're all on your own. Isn't that fun? We're gonna pair you up. Two strikes each. Then Geigy will judge who was better." She grins, saccharine, and elbows her counterpart. "You'll get great prizes just for playing! But the winner gets something totally cool."
"If you're too boring to play," she continues, rolling her eyes, "you can run. Now."
○ Tributes have until 11:59pm EDT on Saturday, October 21th to decide if they will either FIGHT in the Wealth Tournament or FLEE the Training Room. Tributes who have not decided by this deadline will FLEE by default. This choice is for individual tributes; alliance members don't need to participate in the same event. DM the GMs with your decision.
○ Both FIGHT and FLEE will begin tomorrow, Sunday, October 22nd.
○ Tributes are welcome and encouraged to post in their District Suite until then. Feel free to interact with your district partner however you see fit.
○ Tributes' items from pre-Games events and sponsorship will be delivered after the FIGHT and FLEE events conclude.
○ Between 1:45am and 3:12am, all victors, escorts, stylists, and other remaining Training Center residents and personnel were removed from the Training Center and transported to an offsite location. They may have vague memories from transport that feel like fragments of dreams (for example: being moved, being dropped, being transported in a vehicle, faces clad in gas masks looking down at them.)
