Annabeth sits at her desk, sketching any building design that came to mind. Bored was not a word she planned on using when "Being a Gamemaker in the Hunger Games" came to mind back when she first started. But with the lack of events happening at the moment Annabeth was starting to reconsider her opinion on being a Gamemaker. All of the work that Artemis assigned her was finished and sent. The arena was just about finished and ready to go. How much longer could it possibly take to start the games? With a sigh, she continues drawing.

"Hello?" A young, familiar feminine voice comes from behind the door. "Annabeth? Are you in there?"

"Tris!" Annabeth opens the door to greet Tris. "Are you done with your work?"

"Well duh. With all the time we had anybody could finish anything. But that's not important. All of the tributes have arrived! The last one came in last night. I told Artemis and he's going to be here right after his meeting with President Snow." Tris says excitedly.

As if right on cue, Artemis walks in, straightening his tie. "Greetings girls. I hope you all had a restful week or two. Yes, I know that there has not been much to do for there were many delays. But with the many meetings with President Snow I believe that those problems were addressed, and that the games should start as we had planned."

Annabeth feels energy building up inside of her, buzzing with anticipation. "I can't wait to meet these tributes."

"I heard the tribute parade is in a few hours with the interview tonight. We should get ready." Tris suggests, Annabeth's sudden liveliness starts to pump her up as well. "After all, as gamemakers we need to um... present ourselves."

"Of course. You girls go and get yourselves tidied up and we shall make our way to the parade." Artemis ushered them out the room before following after them.

TASK 1

Welcome to Task 1 (FINALLY)! This is going to be a sponsorship task. So for you newcomers, a sponsorship task is going to be a task where the Gamemakers essentially pick their favorite tributes and basically give them extra perks throughout the Games.
Anyway... So I got this idea from magic_mockingjay or Clara as you all know her, of having a a choice on what you wanna write about. (I don't even know if it was her original idea but I got this idea from her so I give Clara the credit)

Choice 1: The Tribute Parade
As you write your entry, think of what happened to your tribute. How did he/she feel? Was there interaction between the their tributes? If so, what was it? What was their outfit? How did the Capitol react in general? How did President Snow react? You can end either after President Snow addresses the nation or end right after you reach the end of the runway and all the tributes are gathered in a circle. Your designer and prep team are optional.

Choice 2: The Interview

Think about what your tribute felt as you write your entry. Did they like the sudden attention? Despise it? Ignore it? Have good reasoning behind it. Describe your outfit. Was it classy, old fashioned, or even modern? List your tribute's thoughts about it too. How was Caesar Flickerman (the interviewer) dress? What questions were asked? How did your tribute answer? What made the tributes answer what they did? And again designer and prep team are optional.

Extra Message: Sorry if this task demands a lot more. I want to see your full potential as a writer so I can decide on who deserves an actual sponsorship. There aren't many, and I need to use those spots wisely. Remember that Artemis Fowl sponsors two tributes while Tris and Annabeth both only sponsor one. If you have two tributes I think it's fine if you do the same choice but I'll be expecting a lot more from you than the people who have only one.

For the Sponsored

If you get sponsored, each of the your tributes will receive special gifts from each Gamemaker on a task that hasn't been specified as of right now. You'll know when we get there. Use those gifts wisely. Below are some perks that can be used if you are sponsored.

- Automatic 10 (Which means on any one task of your choosing before final rounds you get an automatic 10 points)

- Unlimited word count (On any one task of your choosing you may use as many words as needed)

- Extension up to 24 hours (Without any reason at all for any one task you may extend deadline up to a day)

If I missed any time conversions  please comment below. Same thing goes for the questions. Feel free to ask questions about the task or sponsorship stuff!
