10th Games - IC Timeline & Mandate Breakdowns

PRE-GAMES
Reapings happen as usual, selecting two tribs from each district. They are each escorted to the Capitol via passenger train.

Tributes are brought to an undisclosed secret location where they are kept in individual rooms for the night.

The next morning, one at a time, they have their interviews with Harlan Godfrey.

EXHIBIT:
Once interviews have wrapped, tributes will be escorted to the Tribute Exhibit, a large exhibit similar to what an animal might be given in a zoo. Tributes will be kept in this exhibit for two days with no food or drinkable water. During this time, Capitolite fans can come and view the tributes. Tributes who attempt to escape will find that the fences are all electrified.

Within this exhibit, there will be three features: the tire swing, climbing wall, and pond.

In an optional new Sponsorship Showcase, once per tribute, a tribute may write themselves interacting with any one of these features and rolling a d20. The resulting roll will reflect how successful the tribute's interaction is with the feature of their choice.

More successful interactions will be given access to a wider variety of sponsored items when the games start. This is not a formal event in which the tributes are aware they are being judged in-character. Those who choose not to partake will automatically be assigned the lowest tier in sponsorship.


TWIST + GAMES BEGIN:
After two days in the tribute exhibit, the Quell Twist is announced to the tributes and to all of Panem: This year, rather than placing the tributes into the coliseum which was destroyed and rebuilt last year, a new setting has been chosen instead.

The floor of the exhibit will open, dropping the tributes into the sewers far below. Each tribute will take damage because of the fall.

The games will take place below-ground, recorded as a 24-hour television show, rather than a live spectacle.
