An extension of the very first Quarter Quell.
So, we all know what happened in the first Quarter Quell. Instead of the Capitol choosing the tributes, each district had to vote between themselves, and as a result, cause potential conflict. But what if the Capitol decided to take it further than that?
Since this quarter quell was based on the districts deciding between themselves, once they had their tributes ready, the Capitol presented every district with a list of the dangers awaiting in the arena. And they’d have to vote for each one. The tributes included, knowing they’re potentially choosing their own deaths.
Then, while the Capitol are the ones who have created the dangers, each district has brought them to life, and have to slowly watch people die, potentially one of their own, knowing they played a part in designing that arena.
Not only that, but the chosen options could lead to even more conflict in the districts. And not just between everyone in each individual district, but the districts holding contempt for one another. Their chosen tribute dying to dangers another district has voted for, or even mourning their own tribute, wondering if they’d still be alive had they not voted for that method of torture.
The Capitol intended to cause conflict in every district with this Quarter Quell, so imagine how much more anger, more contempt each district would feel towards one another.
