 * “From the simple, lovely fabrics of the districts to the brocades favored in the Capitol, District 8 makes it all.”
 * — The Capitol

Welcome! Welcome, welcome. Happy Wikia Games! And, may the odds be ever in your favor. Now, before we begin, we have a very special film, brought to you all the way from the Capitol.

"War. Terrible war. Widows. Orphans. A motherless child. This was the uprising that erupt on our land. 11 districts rebelled against the country that fed them. Loved them. Protected them. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained.

''But then came the peace. The people rose up from the ashes, and a new era was born. However, the freedom has a cost. We swore as a nation that we would never know this treason again. And so it was decreed that each year, the various districts of Wikia shall offer up two tributes; one young man and woman; to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice. The lone victor bathed in riches would serve as a reminder of the Capitol's generosity and forgiveness.''

''This is how we remember our past. This is how we safe guard our future."''

This is how we remember our past... this is how we safe guard our future... I just love that! Now, the time has come for us to select one courageous young man and woman for the honor of representing District 8 in the 74th Annual Wikia Games. As usual...

/the boy gulps and walks up the stage, clearly holding back tears
