Apologies for the absence of your regular host. Yet another moment of peace in the Arena. You are only delaying the inevitable- whether that be your moment of glory or your shameful demise. The clock is ticking. The nation hungers for our newest victor to emerge. Will you remain as the clock strikes midnight? I would hope so. Santiago of District One. I hope that you’ve been doing well after the loss of your…old friend. You seem to be the only one you have left. Fight like it. Juniper of District One. You’ve gone through so much. Your perseverance has been admirable. I certainly hope it hasn't run out yet. Santiago, Juniper. The faint smell of citrus will guide you towards each other. You know what to do. Akai of District Four. It’s been a long, winding road for you to get here. Your last battle was extremely close. Don’t let it be over this time. Kaiju of District Four. Four kills, I see? Many of your allies are gone, but you’ve always been a loner, your only friend the trident at your side. Let it guide you to your future. Akai, Kaiju. The scent of salt water will guide you towards each other. Does it remind you of home? After this, one of you will be a step closer to it. Masquerade of District Eight. All along, you have been hiding amongst the shadows, waiting for your time to strike. You’ve done this before, over and over. Your freedom awaits. Al of District Ten. Apathetic killers have always intrigued me- reminds me of certain Victors. As the clock winds down, perhaps you will be a step closer to being one yourself. Show the world that you have what it takes. Masquerade, Al. The strong scent of roses will guide you towards each other. Does it remind you of the passion that you both feel in your heart and show in your eyes? Kindle this passion as you head into your fight. You may depend on it. All tributes must fight at the health they are currently at. No healing beforehand, except for herbs and capitol medicine. Best of luck, Tributes. I look forward to our meeting in person. Very, very soon. -President Imperium Captiosus art by @_ThunderShock_ written by @_ThunderShock_ edited by @Banana203 song is espial by oliver buckland
