Tʜᴇ Hᴜɴɢᴇʀ Gᴀᴍᴇs ❧ A Rᴏʟᴇᴘʟᴀʏ discussion

It's a cold, long, restless night before the arena. Sleep does not come easy for some. You await blood, pain, and battle in the arena. You wonder what the arena will be. But just before you manage to fall asleep, a question pops into your head: Who will win?

The ride to the arena is solemn. No one is talking, some are sulking, others prepping themselves.

Your attire is:

A shimmer type of material similar to swimwear makes up a full body suit. It stops mid-thigh with a tank-top shoulder. ( http://www.pinterest.com/pin/14925217... but where the blue pattern is on this, is where the charrie's specific color is )

Every tribute has a different color, which was not chosen at random. Your purpose in the arena (besides to win) is to figure out what your color signifies about yourself.

Warning about Uniforms: at night, these unique uniforms turn a fluorescent white that shines light stars. Needless to say, these uniforms are glow-in-the-dark. They cannot be covered up with mud nor blood, so don't try.

You are not given shoes, but a new, Capitol made material known as jelflexion. It's thin, and acts as a rubber sock, but protects like a thick-soled shoe.

You say your final good-byes to your stylist, although you weren't extremely close to them. You step into the class tube. A robotic voice rings out, "30 seconds until fill." 'Fill? What the hell?' You're already sealed in the class tube, and can't get out. You start to lose a bit of your calmness. You search the floor or walls for something, even touch the cool glass, but nothing. You shoot your stylist a questioned look, and all they do is nod. They know it, don't they.

"15 seconds."

The circular ceiling narrows, allowing water to come streaming down the walls. Fast, but softly. You snap your neck up from your feet to your stylist, and they wear a sad look. Your eyes widen, 'oh f*ck.'

The water appears to be filling faster than it seems, it's up to your ankles, knees, waist.

"10 seconds." Your panic level rises. The water is up to your ribs, and you kick on the glass, but to no avail through water. You pound your fists, but not a crack is made. The water rises to your shoulders, then chin. You begin to float towards the top.

"5 seconds." You hear muffled. So you close your eyes. Flicking them open when you hear a click, and the ceiling opens all the way, allowing you through. Above, must be an ocean, or lake, a source of the water. It's crystal clear. You look down, and the sand is white, covered in vibrant coral. You hear the distant, consistent bang. The clock is ticking to reach the surface. You look to your side, and tributes are staring back at you. So you rush to swim up, remembering your need for oxygen. As soon as your head reaches the surface, the gong rings. You gasp for air, trying to figure out what has happened. But staring you dead in the face, in the cornucopia: large and independent, the holder of your weaponry and needs if survival.

The arena has begun.

( for an idea of the arena visually: http://travel.spotcoolstuff.com/wp-co... you start in the dead center, where the cornucopia is located )

There is tropical fish, tropical birds, extreme insects. Be careful. Be smart and creative with this arena, I left it VERY OPEN FOR YOU. The water is toxic to drink. Build quickly.

There are only one of every weapon. One sword, one axe, one bow (with one arrow), one knife, one water bottle. Have fun!

Alexa swam up straight up quickly towards the surface, finally grateful of her hours of swimming practice. Gulping in a deep breath, she glided the rest of the way towards the cornucopia, grateful that she would have a first pick of weapons. Her first instinct after leaping onto the shoreline was to go for the water bottle, but how much of the water would be safe to drink. Instead Alexa went for the knife which just so happened to be her favorite one.

((haha Melanie, beat you;) ))

Cabe made it second, grabbing an axe and then a water bottle before diving back into the water. Cabe was panting, swimming for one of the nearby islands. She wasn't thinking at all, since she had no allies.

She was on her own.

((Will edit.))

Evan swam up and quickly made his way to the cornucopia. He rushed onto the shore and grabbed a sword, a bag, a bow and a quiver of arrows. He slung the arrows, bow and bag over his shoulder. He made his way to the edge of the cornucopia avoiding Alexa and dived into the water and swam back to the sandy beach he ran quickly into the thick tropical jungle. He rushed through the tropical foliage trying to make as much distance between him and the other tributes as possible. He wasn't sure if he had Blake he had seen him talking to multiple tributes many of them being careers and had no idea if their alliance was in tact anymore. If it was blake would try and find him. He stopped catching his breath and made his way up a tall tree. He rested on a branch. Sword still in hand, he placed it on the thick branch in front of him and opened the bag. He found a belt and sleeping bag in the bag. He put on the belt, covering a fair bit of his flourescent colouring and sheathed his sword in it. He took a moment to catch his breath. For now he was safely hidden in the treetops's shrubbery.

((Ahhhhhh yayayayayayay!!!! Oh my gosh I thought I totally missed it gimme a huge second!!))

Ivory gasped for air as she surfaced, and stared right into the face of the cornucopia. Her fellow tributes were on either side of her. The Careers were rushing in to get the first pick of weapons. There was no time to dwell on terror; she had to grab a weapon and some supplies before they were all taken. She couldn't leave without anything.
Ivory heaved herself into the cornucopia, darting towards the weapons. She eyed an axe-the only axe-but another girl charged in, swiped it and ran. Her jaw dropped but there was no time to falter. Ivory grabbed whatever she could before she was slaughtered, which was one water bottle. Suddenly a glint caught her eye and she spotted another axe. Without hesitation Ivory snatched it up and darted for the exit. She leapt into the water and swam all the way to the shore, desperate to get out of the way of the Careers, the axe weighing her down. She was safe from the brutal tributes for now. But it was only when she crawled onto the sand did she remember Ev. Her ally. Her only true ally. And she was nowhere to be seen.

~

Pax surfaced and looked around, consumed by terror. He was unprepared for the full-scale bloodbath that was about to commence in only a few seconds-which would involve the deaths of many innocent children. He tried to block out his thoughts and focus on getting to the cornucopia but they kept flooding in. He wanted to wake up from this horrible nightmare. He wanted to go home. He wanted to end the games for good. But those were mere wishes that would do him no good in this arena.
He climbed into the cornucopia. Careers and other tributes were swarming in for weapons-he'd have to be quick. He snatched the closest thing he could get-a sword-and was just about to dive into the waves when he encountered a tribute...

((Btw is there ONLY swords, bows and arrows, axes, knives and water bottles? Is that it or is there more stuff like food and survival supplies?))

((If you read Fandom's post above. It says there is only one of each weapon. And the sword and axe are gone, sorry))

PLEASE KEEP IN MIMD THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EVERYTHING. Only ONE sword, ONE knife, ONE water bottle, ONE bow with ONE arrow, ONE axe. If someone has already taken your weapon of choice use your points. And if you want more points, kill someone (haha)

After almost being killed before even entering the arena, Don had an upmost crazed suspicion of this arena, and the absolute danger it must poses. He wanted to get out to the water. After the gong had rung, he had a second of alarm, not knowing what had happened. Registering the past events, he gathered his composer and swam as fast as he could to the cornucopia. Tributes were taking things and running, so he grabbed the one knife he could potentially use. Skimming quickly with this eyes, he turned to leave, when he bumped into Pax. He was quite surprised by the tribute, but instead gave a stern, warning look. Than ran the other way, hoping to find Mara somewhere.

Cabe spat water out of her mouth as she pulled herself ashore. She pulled herself up onto her feet, holding her axe, and sprinted into the jungle. Cabe rushed by Evan's tree while doing so.

Evan saw a blue of colour skim by the base of his tree. He couldn't really see it but decided to follow and see if it was Blake. He shouldered his bag and jumped from branch to branch in the same direction as the shape had gone. He jumped through a few birds nests startling the birds. He followed quickly behind and started gaining on the shape.

Suddenly, Cabe tripped, stumbling and falling down a steep hill. Slash, bash, clink, splash! Cabe hit the cold water with a gasp, pulling herself up onto the shore once more looking at herself for injuries. a few scratches, nothing serious.

((K sorry I'll edit later!!! I'm on my phone :/ but Evan there was only 1 arrow just saying :) and are there more supplies or is that it?))

Ivory watched the other tributes making their way towards the shore. After a few seconds of catching her breath and desperately searching for Ev, she slowly crept backwards towards the vegetation. All she had was a full water bottle and no weapon. Someone else had taken her axe. She was defenceless, unless the water in her bottle was acid and she could melt the others. But of course that wasn't possible.
She looked up and observed her surroundings for a moment. The cornucopia sat in the middle of a turquoise lake, which was surrounding by high cliffs covered with lush greenery. Impressive, for once.
Ivory turned to run, but her outfit caught her eye. She was wearing a swimsuit with pearl-coloured patterns. Then she noticed the other tributes had different colours. What did they mean? What did hers mean? But instead of racking her brain for the answer, she slipped into the foliage to observe the bloodbath.

(Fandom girl do you know what they mean O_o :P)

~

The tribute-a Career, looked up at him. Pax was struck with fear that he would kill him, or he would have to kill the tribute himself. Luckily the Career turned and ran, so Pax did the same, but he was without any supplies or weapons. He jumped into the water and began to swim for the shore, in a desperate effort to escape the horror soon to come.

Ivory watched the other tributes making their way toward..."

((I think there are other supplies. Just RP as if there are, that's what I'm doing.))

Evan followed and watched her fall down the hill. He followed in some more trees out of the way. When he reached a close distance he notched an arrow. He aimed it at Cabe. He could end her life right now. He looked down the shaft of the arrow. He couldn't kill her she was just like him. Alone allyless. "Cabe isn't it?" He called down but not giving away his position or cover.

( yes I do. I picked their colors very strategically. ))

((K))

Cabe heard her name, which she sucked a breath in. She didn't reply, but she remembered her clothes were green, like the shade of the trees. And everyone had different colors. Stealth! That's why her clothes were green. To blend in. Eyeing the woods near her, she dashed for he jungles treeline.

Evan shot an arrow straight passed her head and into the tree metres in front of her. He missed her on purpose. She stopped. "Honestly Cabe don't run I just want to talk." He said. still not revealing himself. "Now I see no allies with you." He continued. "And I am alone." He said and dropped out of the trees.

(( I will be gone for about 3 hours ))

Ivory looked up into the trees, searching for a high, hidden place to sit and watch from above. She spotted a perfect tree with branches rising from near the bottom to the top. In less than 15 seconds she had reached an appropriate height to look out over the cornucopia. Dense leaves his her from view but provided great peep-holes.
She shook a few droplets of water into a branch to test if it was truly acid, but there were no hissing noises or melting. Then she dropped some onto her hand. The water didn't sting or burn. Ivory decided to trust the water and took the slightest sip, and then continued to watch the bloodbath.

~

Pax stumbled onto the sand, empty handed. He felt lost, broken, terrified. He couldn't handle the deaths and suffering of innocent children. At home he had left the house and had never watched the games-only a few times had he done so. But now that he was experiencing them for real, he couldn't take it. Pax tried to block out the terror and anxiety building inside-that was the last thing he needed to focus on. He forced himself to walk towards the lush forest, seeking protection from the foliage.

((Feel free to attempt to kill Pax. He's a kill off))

((Can you make Pax walk towards Evan and attack him? Evan won't kill without a reason and he is busy with Cabe.))

(K)

Pax walked on through the forest, oblivious to the sounds of nature all around him. All he could try to focus on was getting trough the forest and as far away from the other tributes as possible. Suddenly he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and began to run backwards, his eyes darting around in search of tributes. There was no one there but he had heard something.
He knew running backwards was a foolish thing to do, and his thoughts were confirmed when he slammed into a body and toppled over onto him or her. His heart began to hammer against his chest in panic when he saw it was an older boy with weapons that would most definitely kill him. Suddenly, surprisingly, Pax's fist swung forward and he punched the tribute in the face. He gasped and tried to scramble away from the tribute. What had he done? Was that a reflex? He hadn't meant to punch the tribute. But he couldn't take it back and he was sure these were his final minutes.

Evan didn't know what had just happened. Before he could react his instincts took over. He swung his sword out cutting a huge gash in Pax's stomach. He snapped back to reality and saw what he had done. "No. No. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NOO." He repeated the word over and over. What had he done? A canon sounded in the distance and Pax fell backwards. As he was about to hit the ground a light appeared around him and he was taken up into the transport. Evan looked down at his sword and up at Cabe. He ran past her picking the arrow out of the tree as he ran past he lost himself with grief and ended up running back towards the beach. He saw a big tree with branches starting at the bottom and started climbing about 10-12 seconds later he was at the top. He saw a figure with a familiar coloured outfit. "Ivory?" He asked as he got closer to her. He realised he could see the Cornucopia from here all the tributes still making their way there. some still in the water others waiting for the bloodbath to begin. he was glad he got himself out of there.

The tribute slashed a deep cut in Pax's stomach. He gasped in pain and fell backwards onto his rear. Blood spurted from the gash and his mouth. Pains seared through his body. Black spots dotted his vision. He couldn't breath. The pain was unbearable. As his vision slowly faded into darkness, he watched his murderer sprint off into the forest. "I love you, my family," he croaked. He let out his last breath and his heart stopped. He was gone.

~

Ivory gasped and instantly climbed higher into the tree, without checking to see who had said her name. The tribute below made no effort to follow. She recognised him as Evan, but still didn't know whether she could trust him or not.
She held out her water bottle in a pathetic form of defence. "Evan," she sighed, edging out along a branch. "Please...please don't kill me."

"Kill you? Why would I kill you? We are district partners." He said climbing next to her. He watched as a career district searched for someone. It took Evan a moment to figure out it was Don. Probably looking for Mara he thought. "Where's Ev aren't you two allies?" He asked Ivory noticing she was missing her little companion.

Seeing hat Evan was occupied, Cabe darted for the underbrush again, running for dear life.

Ivory swallowed and looked Evan up and down. Even though they were district partners, that wouldn't stop him from slicing her open with his sword, which she noticed had blood on it. He had already killed someone? This fact made her trust dissipate a little further.
Ivory stayed where she was, deciding not to bring up the subject. "I-I don't know," she replied. "I haven't seen her since...since the training centre, actually. I have no idea where she is." Sadness crept up on her like a figure unseen in a shadow. She imagined one of her only true friends lying dead at the bottom of the lake, or sliced and bloody on the beach, colouring the sand. Ivory shut her eyes right and tried to block out her thoughts. 'No, no, no, she can't be dead! She can't!' she thought. 'Not Ev, not my ally, not my friend!'

Evan could see that Ivory had no interest in an alliance. He climbed down. He was half way down when he looked back up at Ivory. "Hey Ivory. Stay Alive." He said before he finished the climb and disappeared into the jungle terrain. He ran for a bit finding himself where he and Cabe were before. He had tracked animals before but this was his first time tracking a person he noted small footprints and several other indications of the direction she was running in. She would make a good ally so he needed to find her. He ran fast trying to catch up to her.

Cabe knew the art of tracking, which she reduced the amount of things leading to her. She stopped for a second to break a stick to make it point west, rather than north, then kept running. She managed to step on leaves, avoiding mud and sticks, and pounced off trees to avoid barriers. Stealthy and ninja like.

Evan came near two indications. A broken stick pointing west and some crushed leaves leading north. "She's good." He said to himself. a He looked at the leaves and noticed the shape of a foot. "But not good enough." He kept running slowly gaining on her. He hoped she didn't get too far. All he wanted to do was talk.

Ivory watched as Evan climbed back down the tree. She didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed. Now he was gone, there was virtually no risk of him killing her. But now that she was alone, she had no allies, no weapons and no safety except for being trapped up in a tree. If a bloodthirsty tribute happened to spot her, she would be screwed.
Suddenly she remembered Sha. They hadn't confirmed a proper alliance, but she was the next person Ivory would trust. But since she had no idea what had become of her, she could only hope that Sha had made it to a tree or some form of security with a weapon to keep herself alive.

((Goodnight guys :) ))

((Night))

Cabe haulted at a cliff with nothing but water at the bottom. It was a safe place to dive off. A fifty foot drop, which was reasonable. She would swing around to see if Evan had caught up, still thinking about jumping off the cliff into the water.

Evan caught up to her at a cliff. "Wait before you jump. Just hear me out." He said. "We both need someone to watch our back. We are both skilled in survival and combat. How about an alliance." He suggested he hoped she accepted.

Cabe raised an eyebrow, confused and scared. "You look pretty stacked to me." She says. "Weapons for two, as well as some scary senses." Cabe gripped the hilt of her axe to hold back her fear.

"I like having a back up." He said. "Now how about we find a safe place to sit down and talk this out." He suggested. "Having an ally is better than being on your own." He said. He stepped closer to her and pushed her axe to her side.

Cabe would shake her head. "No, I'm sorry." She says. "I don't know your name, and I don't want to be responsable for your death." Turning, age dives off the cliff and hits he water below, axe still at hand, as well as her water on her belt.

((I WILL POST DON'T HURT ME WHY AM I ALWAYS TOO LATE BUT I NEED TO GO SO DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH BLAKE/EV YET?! I WILL POST TOMORROW ASAP))

Cabe would pull herself out of the water coughing, then spitting water of of her mouth. Cabe accidently swallowed water after he leap of faith she made. Rolling to her side, her leg started to throb. Looking down, a small slash crossed vertically on her leg. Sitting up, she stands up and cries out. A rock must have scratched her which she limps into the treeline.

((America- is Alexa still at the top? I'll make Ev encounter her.))

Blake, after almost being killed underwater, found that the Arena was one huge island. Oh sh.. was the first thing that popped into his head. He had no idea how to swim, and if he didn't get a move on, he was going down. So he turned around on his plate, did - what he thought was a dive - into the water and slowly but surely got his way to the beach. No weapons, nothing to help, absolutely empty handed. Then he took in his outfit. Fluorescent Orange? Why is it orange? Must be one of the Gamemaker's ideas. He started running along the beach, when a faint cry caught his attention. He went and ran in the direction. If it was a weak tribute, dead. Just with his fists. Instead, he found Cabe, with a tiny slash along her leg. He grinned.
"Hey. Thought I'd never find you."

~

Ev held her breath as the tube was lifted up into the Arena. She was from Four - she knew how to stay alive in water. Being the brave little girl that she was, Ev swam for the Cornucopia, speed getting her there in less than thirty seconds. But she wasn't watching where she was going: just frantically searching for a backpack, something to keep her living for the first hours of the Arena. Then she hit something. Someone. Alexa.
"Oh God. I'm so sorry!" Ev cried, trying to move and run away but for some reason her feet were glued to the ground. She looked down and saw some sort of rock her foot had slipped into, and even with her trying, she couldn't get it out.

But a bright red outfit? That's ridiculous! It would just stand out, like blood- like blood! Was she put in it because the Gamemakers knew she would die? Ev started to back away, her mind elsewhere, but she tripped and fell. Now there was no way she was getting out.

((If we guess what the character's colour was for their outfit, do they win anything? :p And will you explain it if we ask, Fandom?))

The slash was bigger close up, going straight down her shin and part of her knee. She looked up at Blake, gulping. "Your going to kill me?" She asked. Cabe was scared, she jumped off a cliff to protect herselfand all she had was a bottle of water and a axe.

A Forrest Green colored box came whistling down to Cabe, with the symbols, 3F. A sewing kit.

Grabbing the box with her hands, she prys it open to find a sewing kit with some bandages. Cabe beers silently, grabbing afew needles and pricks her skin to stop blood flow temporarily. She then starts to sew her leg up.

((Yes- and okay:) ))

Alexa did not hesitate in whipping out her safely secured knife. Just when she was about to go to a safe spot she had noticed, a pathetic brat had to slow her down. Still, she needed more points. She had no time for apologies and crouched down to Ev's height. "Look, you have barely been in the Arena a minute and you're already stuck." She said with a threatening voice. She lifted up her knife, her eyes glinting dangerously like the blade as the sun reflected off of it. Ev knew what was coming.


((We need to wait for Mara to make the first move))

((Alrightie!))

Blake shook his head and bobbed down next to Cabe. "You think I would? I have nothing to hurt you with." He spread his fingers wide. "Apart from my fists - I can break rock with them, but don't be scared." He stopped smiling as he started to watch Cabe sew herself together again. He shuddered and turned away, then walked to the nearest tree and leaned his forehead against it. If there was anything he hated, it would be stitches. Anything to do with thin lines of thread that went into your body. He shuddered again but didn't turn around. "Have you done yet?" He called over his shoulder. The fact of someone in pain- he couldn't bear it. Yet he could kill. But once someone was dead, they were put out of their misery, right?

~

"Shut up." Ev snarled, finally yanking her foot free and standing over Alexa, as she had bobbed down, Ev was now taller than her. With one swift movement, Ev dived into the sea and came up several metres away. "You any good at swimming, Miss Panem?" Ev smiled slightly as she remembered Alexa saying something like that to Mara.

Mara! Ev knew it. She was merely spinning out time. But she would be dead within the next half an hour.

Tieing of the threadCabe would put he leftovers in he bag it came from, then starts taking of needles. "Done." She says, then takes out he bandages.

"Well Miss. Pathetic, I happen to be extremely experienced." Alexa said between gritted teeth. She dove off of the cliff and plunged directly beside Ev, not taking the time to let out a few breaths so she instead let out one big one. In a moment, she dove again under Ev and yanked her down a good few meters; holding on to her waist so that she couldn't get free. drowning depth but drowning people was no fun so until Ev turned blue she would be underwater- hopefully.
