The Olympian Hunger Games discussion

Petaea began to run, then stopped, letting the others flow past her. This was probably the safest way.

Desmina sprinted. She was one of the first to reach the Cornucopia. She lifted a pack over her shoulder, grabbed a black bow, with a set of fifteen sharp, black-wood arrows, with fletching. She grabbed a short sword and sprinted.

sara looked around for Reia, Ashra and her brother paul. when she heard the gong she took off running for the Cornucopia.

ray frowned and also ran for the Cornucopia when the gong rang she graped two bags and straped two swords to her back. ray also grabed a spear.

Reia sprinted to the Cornucopia, keeping her eyes out for Vince, Sara and Ashra. Once she got there she grabbed a set of daggers and a pack. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to grab one of the swords. Reia then quickly retreated into the massive forest.

Razin rushed into the center and retrieved a sac from the ground, then quickly dashed away, he had not hope.

Vince saw Reia run into the forest and ran grabbing a sword and a small pack before dashing after her. Vince ran through the jungle a little overwhelmed by the massive trees but he continued onward to find Reia.

Vince tried his best to find her but came up empty handed and hit a tree next to him not realizing what a sound it would make.

sara saw reia, she grabed a bag and took off after her

Reia turned around and saw Sara running toward her. She stopped running to wait for her but stayed on alert. Her mind was still on Vince, where the heck was he?

Vince finally growled and started running again not really paying attention to where he was going. Vince let out a suprised grunt when he almost ran into someone head on (technically side on).

Vince then saw the facial features and noticed it was Reia. "Reia." Vince breathed.

sara ran fast at them she had a shadow sword in her hand and a bag on her back

"Vince!" Reia exclaimed she gave him a fierce hug and a quick kiss, she kept having to remind herself that she was in the arena now. "You always seem to find a interesting way to find people." Reia said rubbing her side.

Vince let out a small chuckle. "I know how to make an entrance." Vince said with a smirk before looking around. "We should head out, c'mon." Vince said grabbing her arm.

"But what about Sara?" Reia asked looking back at her fellow ally.

Vince looked seeing no one. "If she doesn't come soon we leave her behind, I will not let you get killed for someone else." Vince said letting go of her and pulled out his sword he began looking around for anyone who might come to fight them.

Pippa scampered off the plate. She was too slow. Several other tributes ran to the cornucopia ahead of her. She was about to run away from the fighting when she saw a beautiful Japanese long bow. It was blue, like the ocean. Those Japanese really loved the ocean, she thought. Taking a quick glance around, she ran to the center and picked up the bow, as well as a massive green pack nearby. She could use it to cover her head. Taking the bow that had no arrows, and the pack she ran to the edge of the clearing, hoping Pesh would come soon.

Cyril nearly jumped off the platform. he was so eager to win, and get a massive machete to kill everyone with. He was hopping as he waited for the 60 seconds to end. He jumped off the platform and BAM! he was one second too early. He's dead. ((hehe))

Caspian scanned the area, waiting an extra 2.84739 seconds before stepping off the plate. He ran to the Cornucopia and picked up a rusty looking sword. It was on the edge, so it'd be fine. He saw a flash of dark hair run past him, twice. It was Pippa. Was it worth it go follow her? No, He should stay away, so she wouldn't die. he couldn't kill his own sister. On the way away from the Cornucopia, Caspian grabbed a shield and small bag that fit in to his palm.

ray was standing at the edge of the wood line when she saw caspian

Jason had laughed aloud the moment his eyes had taken in the gargantuan arena.

Giant plants, like that will affect a son of Demeter he thought to himself, grinning boldly.

At the sound of the gong he sprinted flat out for the Cornucopia, scooping a bag over his shoulders. Using the tip of his foot he flipped an axe into his hands and turned to face the rush of oncoming Tributes. Some were already taking off towards the woods, but several had yet to leave their plates.

Still smirking, Jason raised his head and glared at the Tributes running towards him, daring them to come closer.

Jason's knuckles tightened around the axe's haft, threateningly. Seeing the Tributes falter, he laughed derisively, "Not one of you has the courage to face me? This battle's going to be easier than I thought."

Anyone who wanted to go to the Cornucopia would have to go through his axe first.

sara had reached reia, sara turned around and saw jason in the distance

Reia was relived once Sara reached them. She then looked over to see what she was looking at. It was Jason Dane. "Sara we should go..."

Pippa watched the other tributes talk, discuss, chat, what ever. And then she saw Jason. Fury built up in her, but tactfulness kept her still. That boy would die, and she didn't care abit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death Toll:
Cyril, son of Ares

Vince watched as Sara ran up and looked back. "Go, go." Vince said grabbing Reia's arm again, he didn't want her getting hurt no matter the cost.

Pippa sat down on the dirt and opened the pack, looking through it, trying to find something useful. her hand touched a rubbery substance: a Poncho! Wonderful, she thought, She could use this to avoid what ever that disgusting green slime was. As she looked through the pack, she found a pack of matches, a canteen, and something that looked kind of like food.

((Is that all the Arena is? Dirt floor, and dangerous flowers? I feel like there should be more.))

But Reia moved forward. "Who does he think he is?" She was getting angry at Jason. She looked up at Vince, who had grabbed her arm.

Jason's laughter rang out in the clearing as he walked casually around the Cornucopia.

He twirled the axe between his fingers, calling out, "Well, I suppose you might as well start carving my name on that trophy, eh? Not even one of you has enough spine to challenge me?"

Jason let out a low whistle, his chest shaking with laughter, "Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Reia broke free from Vince and moved toward the Cornucopia,taking the sword from Vince's hand. That guy's cockiness was rubbing her the wrong way.

Jason turned at the sound of approaching footfalls, and found Reia bearing down on him from the forest.

Jason through his arms wide in greeting, "Reia, dear! Lovely to see you again. My, my, I thought I told you not to go playing with swords? You're really going to hurt yourself, you know."

"Shut up Dane, I need another sword, and you and your silly little axe are not going to get in my way." Reia said coming closer, putting her sword up in a defensive stance. She was going teach this guy a lesson.

Jason made no effort to stifle his amusement, "Reia, please, call me Jason. Maybe you and your beloved 'brooding buff' over there didn't get the memo, but I'm afraid I have no intention of handing this stuff over... no matter how adorable the request is."

"Aren't you just the cutest, waving that sword around."

Sophia Akkad stumbled into the Arena, momentarily fazed by the suddenness of their arrival.

Her mouth fell open at the sight of a nearby mushroom towering 15 feet over her.

The sound of the gong brought her back to reality. She leapt off the starting plate to join the vicious race for the overflowing Cornucopia.

"You think your just so sly but really your just pathetic.." Reia stated unemotionally. "What, your just planning to stand here forever? What a plan." Reia said sarcastically.

"But fine I'll leave you be once you hand over a nice sword for me."

"Perhaps you'd prefer this quaint little leather satchel. Hey! I think it might even have make-up in it, Vinny will be so pleased!" said Jason, tossing the bag to Reia.

Sophia had hesitated with a number of the other Tributes at the sight of Jason Dane wandering around the base of the Cornucopia heckling whoever happened to be around to listen.

Sophia raised her eyebrows as a girl broke out of the forest and now seemed to be having some sort of argument with him.

What the Hell is going on?

Reia let it fall to the ground at her feet and ignored it. "Why are you so mean Dane, did you get picked on when you were little? hmm?"

"Mean?" Jason snorted at her comment, his smile stretching a little wider, "I just offered you a beautiful, hand-sown handbag and you ignored it. Where is dear Vinny, by the way? Please don't tell me he's still doing his make-up in the forest over there? Or perhaps he's found a nice tree to talk to. I imagine there's a real battle of wits going on in there."

"Don't even talk about Vince like that. What about your dear Sara, or are you just a heartless swine?" Reia said sneering at him.

"This isn't going to end well, Jason and I'd rather not waste time with you anymore, by the way watch out for the bugs.." she said gesturing to a bright green one that was scurrying towards the center.

Sophia let out a sound of disgust listening to this Jason Dane guy. He was leaning on the head of his axe, totally engrossed in his conversation with Reia.

Sophia smiled lightly as she crept forward, dodging into the bushes to approach the Cornucopia silently from behind.

Reia heard a noise from behind and not wanting to waste anymore time, she retreated back into the forest without another word to Jason, she would get the sword later.

Jason studied his nails, non-chalant, a smile playing around his lips, "Well, sadly Sara has decided to join you and Vampire Vincent. I'm sure we'll meet again at some point."

"And beetle? What be--?"

The ground suddenly moved beneath Jason's feet throwing him off balance. The titanic beetle's razor jaws clicked together menacingly. Its shriek pierced the air.

With every impact of its six, skeletal, furry legs, the ground trembled.

Heart beating like it was ready to escape the cage that was her chest, ashra runs with the gong, a blur of motion from the pedestal. "where are they," she asks herself, before realizing that the ground here was chanted, and 10x times thicker than usual, and she figured that it would kill her to pass through. "well, i guess i have to find them the regular way," she says as she begins to walk through feilds of towering dandelions, thin and thick at the same time, screaming, "Rei, Sar, Where are you guys!!!?"

Reia observed from the shadows of the forest. She wanted to find out all she could about the creatures in the arena. Would Jason have a chance?

Jason regained his footing and lobbed the axe at the creature's skull. It glanced off its metallic mandibles, and Jason cursed.

If only I had my whip!

He dove for the Cornucopia as the beetle sank its jaws into the ground he had been standing moments before.

In a frenzy, Jason tore through the myriad of supplies pouring out of the Cornucopia. He searched desperately for anything to keep the creature at bay.

With a sigh, Ashra places two fingers to her throat, and screams in a magnafied voice, "Rei, Sar, where are you, i need you...!!!"

Sophia winced as the bushes around her shuddered with the pound of the beast's feet on the earth.

She resisted the urge to flee, edging closer to the Cornucopia.

Reia heard a voice and knew Ashra was looking for her and Sara.

But instead she stood still looking back at the Cornucopia. Jason wasn't looking so good. In a way she didn't want him to die just yet, she un-sheathed her sword.

sara walked forward fast she pulled shadows around her and she molded them. sara sent the shadow shooting forward and it sliped around jasons making a hard barrier between him and the bugs. then sara heard ashra "ashra were over here" she yelled to her.

Reia saw Sara storming in with her wicked shadow power. She sprinted toward the bug using a nearby tree to propel herself onto the bug. Once up Reia ran the length of it and jumped off the back so she could get under it. She sliced it's underbelly, it's gooey innards spilled out. "Were you trying to smooth talk it?" Reia asked Jason as she walked out from under the beetle before it collapsed on the ground. She made her way to the Cornucopia for another sword.

"grab me some daggers" sara yelled to reia

Reia nodded and collected another set of daggers, an extra sac, and this brilliant celestial blade.

sara smiled and looked over at jason for a moment

Running with the wind at her heels, ashra bursts into the open, across the field from the cornucopia, her skin fresh and pink, flushed with running "hey you guys, everything all right," she asks as she runs up and hugs sara and reia tightly.

sara smiled and hugged her back "ya everythings fine"

"Hey Ashra!" Reia said smiling, she threw the stash of daggers to Sara and the sac to Ashra. Sheathing both swords on her waist.
