*the Anthem sounds off over the Arena as the faces of the dead appear in the night sky...
The Girl from District 1...
The Boy from District 10...
The Boy from District 11...
the anthem ends*
Announcer - "Attention, Tributes, Attention. Congratulations. You have both reached and surpassed the Final 8. However, we still believe these will be the longest Games to date, and so we have decided to........ Hasten things along."
*three gongs go off back to back*
*as the Tributes watch, tiny flares turn into burning wildfires on the 1, 11, and 10 islands, the foliage and plant life easily catching flame just like the 4th island, covering the night sky with dark plumes of smoke*
"Happy Hunger Games. And may the odds be ever in your favor."
