Welcome new Tributes!
The Capitol has gathered a good crop of you at once, and to help morale, and to ease you into Capitol society they are throwing a banquet, just for those who work with the Games. Stylists, Escorts, mentors, a few of the Capitol elite, and of course, you all, the Tributes.
Instead of waking up in the normal way, new Tributes awake in lush beds, in a very posh ski lodge. Elegant but simple clothes are laid out for them, in a warm grey, and a note to come down as soon as they are ready. And if they linger too long, a peacekeeper appears to escort them down.
Those from the Capitol, are brought in on chartered party buses, one for each District, which are about as posh as a bus can get. It's a roughly 45 minute drive, well out of the Capitol's city limits.
Although the party is "mellow" by Capitol standards, it is still pretty damn extravagant. Alcohol flows freely, and banquet tables are kept fully stocked by silent avoxes. The whole ski lodge has been cleared out, and guest can hit up an ice skating rink, or pick out a swim suit and jumped into the huge, natural hot springs tubs.
As the night drags on, however, all does not go as planned. Half way through the night, there is a tremendous roar, and the hotel is plunged into pitch blackness. There is chaos for roughly 10 minutes, till low power emergency lights flicker on. However the generators don't have the power to keep the heater going.
A first aid station is set up, and the avoxes start pulling in blankets to the main lobby, lighting a fire in the fireplace and doing what they can to keep everyone warm. It is quickly communicated that there was an avalanche, and although the hotel remains in good shape, the power and the road to the Capitol has been cut out.
It's going to be a long night.
Welcome to the test drive meme for
thegames!We are both a jamjar and a Hunger Games AU character game. You can choose to either have your character ported in from their world or AU them into Panem. Detailed knowledge of the Hunger Games is not required. We accept just about any character and character type that we can work into the world, including AUs, OCs, and up to 3 multiples (however, each versions of a character must be significantly different from the others.)
All the information you need can be found in this post, which can always be found at the top of the mod account. And if you don't find something you need, the FAQ is here, so drop us a line!
Welcome, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

A moment passes as the information sinks in.
"They must have made some kind of mistake," says Carlos, finally. "There's no reason for me to be brought here. My work permits are up to date and approved by the City Council. I've broken no law that I'm aware of -- though that's not saying much in a town like this -- and the vague yet menacing government organization hasn't said anything about revoking my permission to conduct experiments in Night Vale. ....they haven't said anything at all for a while, actually," he adds, sounding kind of uneasy. "They've kind of just been standing there in the sheriff's office, not moving or speaking or giving any other obvious sign of life besides a constant sort of humming sound. A-anyway," Carlos says, "I have very important work to do in Night Vale, and I'd like to know who I should talk to, to clear up this misunderstanding."

"Sorry...I wasn't clear. You're not in...Night Vale, right? The people here have taken all of us out of our worlds and brought us here. It's called Panem. And the fight to the death is sort of like a reality show. It's for entertainment. And a thinly veiled threat toward rebels. But they bring us back to life after each round." She sighs, narrows her eyes a little. "It's all hard to take."

A fight to the death -- for entertainment?
Rebels?
Brought back to life?
"But," Carlos says, once he stops gaping and recapping Joan Watson's information like a sixties!Batman episode, "why would they choose me? I'm not a soldier. Or a fighter of any kind, really. I am a scientist," he says, like that would explain everything.

"I think I know two soldiers. One's a Roman centurion and gladiator, and the other was an army doctor. Most people aren't professional fighters. I'm a consulting detective. I knocked out a guy with a ceramic phrenology head once, but that's pretty much it."
