Casually slouched on a La-Z-Boy recliner, a man with shockingly white hair and red clothes decorated by crosses spoke to the others in the room, each comfortably seated in their own chair.
"Welcome to the 8919118415189th annual Sign Oath. No relation to the Oath Sign franchise. Congratulations on winning a spot as a sponsor. I wish to remind you all that you are only allowed to sponsor a single competitor, and that once that competitor dies, you will have no further way to influence the game. If you have not already chosen a player to sponsor, I recommend you do so as soon as possible, or you may fall behind. May the odds be ever in your favor.
Let's hope this bunch manages to entertain us before they die. These little competitions have a sad tendency to fall apart halfway through and end on a whimper."
His piece said, he snapped his fingers, and small screens appeared all around the group, each showing different areas. A massive forest, so thickly covered that light barely reached the ground. Mountains, craggily faced, with high, snow covered peaks. A harsh desert, dotted in a smattering of tiny water holes. A nearly endless stretch of plains, tall grasses obscuring the floor.
The screens paid particular attention to the first two areas, zooming in to show a small pile of seemingly random items at both locations, everything from a sword, to an old American flag, to fresh fruit. Around each of these cornucopias of random loot, stood seven stages, each the exact same distance from the prize.
Even as they watched, each stage was filled by a person. The participants varied greatly, featuring both what could only be teenagers, as well as grizzled elders that appeared to be seasoned warriors. All 14 competitors appeared at the same time, with an equal amount of warning. They found within their minds an instinctive knowledge of how their own abilities had been sealed, the reason they had been transported here, and what the prize at the end was.
However before they could get to killing each other, a large hologram appeared over the cornucopias. The hologram resembled a tall figure with the face of a luchadore mask. Suddenly a loud booming voice erupted from the hologram, a voice that all the contestants could hear.
"LLLLLAAAAAAAAAADDDIIIIIES AND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO OUR 8919118415189th HUNGER GAMES!"
The hologram struck a pose that looked very uncomfortable.
"We've got a hell of a lineup for this year's hunger game folks! We've got robots, vampires, ancient species that predate humanity, wizards, and school girls. The whole shebang! I'm sure this year is gonna be one hell of a show, maybe the best we've had in millennia!"
The hologram switched to a different pose that looked even more uncomfortable to perform.
"Now, you viewers at home already know the drill and you contestants probably got the mental message but for the sake of tradition, let me explain what's going on. 14 randos from the multiverse, that's you guys."
The hologram stood up straight to point at the contestants.
"Were gathered here today to kill each other in the most entertaining ways possible. The last one standing gets to be the champ and receives a huge reward at the end. Sounds easy right? Wrong. Because the goal is not only to kill, but to entertain! You, my dear contestants are being watched by some very powerful individuals who will sponsor the contestants they like. They might send goodies, weaponry, a birthday card, etc but they can also send disasters to players they don't like or are being boring so uh, try not to be a boring camper okay? The boys upstairs don't like that kind of behavior."
The hologram then seemed to disappear only to reappear shortly after.
"Oh and before I forget, if you had equipment before you were brought here that's gone now, its probably in the cornucopia under me so if you want it back...good luck. Happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favor, now get to killing. Ciao!"
A static noise echoed throughout the arena, a high pitched, squeaky, feminine voice seemingly came from all directions.
"And here's some music to kick off the 8919118415189th annual Sign Oath! You losers better not let us down, or else there will be hell to pay! Oh wait. You are already in hell. Hihihi. Try not to lose horribly out there then. Smell ya later, chumps."
And in place of the female announcer voice, a song from when the Over 9000 memes was still funny began playing.
