The Hunger Games-Roleplay discussion

You rise up to the arena and the first thing you notice is a candy cane. A giant candy cane. Then, you look around and notice the coconut flaked floor, along with the coconut flakes falling from the sky. Gumdrop clouds shade you and lollipops as big as trees surround the arena. Then you remember something like this, back around Kindergarten, most of you probably played this game, Candy Land. Only a few games still exist, and the capitol tried to give at least one to each district.

Suddenly, the gong does off and....LET THE HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!

Things to Note**

**There is NO food in the Cornucopia. And, you can get no food from sponsors, if you do, you shall be blown up on the spot. The only source of food you have is the candy. I know, sounds like a dream, but...you will get sick, and VERY sick of it real fast.

**There is no pure water, but plenty of sickly(but sweet at first) pink berry smoothie in a couple of fountains all around the arena.

**You know those Peeps? Yeah, those nasty little marshmallow chickens that I give to brother every Easter? Yeah, those. Well, they are about ten feet tall, more yellow, more marshmallowey, then the ones you know. Oh, and they are insane, they each have a machine gun, and will eat you up in a second. You have been warned.

So yeah, let the 18th Hunger Games BEGIN!

When the gong sounded Ken examined the floor. "What kind of place is this?" He said in disgust. In the back of his head he heard the words float back to him. Candy land. He grabbed a rock and munched on it. He instantly recoiled at the sweetness.

Annatta sprinted to the cornucopia, smiling for a bit when she realized that they were in Candyland. A dream come true? No, Gamemakers always had something up their sleeve. She grabbed a short sword, which was perfect for her, as well as a small bundle on knives. No food, she noticed. But as soon as she grabbed a pack she was attacked. The boy from one was clumsily attempting to club her with a medium sized candy cane. With no hesitation, Annatta swung a sword at him and split his stomach in half, wincing at the blood. Sure, she had hurt someone before, but killing was different. "I don't like games..." she muttered at the body, turning to sprint into the lollipop fields to find Calla.

Quassia slipped off her pedestal, hiding behind a cotton candy rock. She had always hated this game, which seemed to be so perfect in her world filled with blood. Being in an arena inspired by it made her feel lost. Even more lost then usual. When she felt that all the seriously tough competitors had gone, she sprinted to the cornucopia to grab the only bow and quiver remaining. When she turned to leave, a club was swung at her. Ducking quickly, she screamed out and ran far away from any other tributes. She searched for Lee.

((Can the peeps be killed?))

At the sound of the gong Lee bolted off the platform, twistung ducking through objects as if she were running from one of angry herders. Reaching the cornucopia she grabbed a couple of knives and a silver whipp. The whipp would be good, she had been worried it might not be useful in this arena but instead it was perfect. She also grabbed a backpack before running off in the other direction of all the battle. Seeing Quasia she bolted in her direction. And the games begin.

Calla studied the ground for half a second before running in a full half circle around the cornicopia. She was right there was only the girl from district six there putting daggers in her back pocket. Creeping up behind her she she grabbed one of the daggers and plunged it into the girls neck. "Watch your back next time." She whispered in the girls ear as her breath left her and her body went slack falling to the ground with a thud.grabbing the rest of the daggers from her she found a small backpack and a belt and aranged them strategiclly before grabbing a trident and running for the best protection in the lollipop fields her eyes scanning for attacks and Annatta.

((Umm...Lemme think about that.))

*ten minutes later*

((Okay, no, unless you're made by the gamemakers[yes, we've had that before, people being made by the gamemakers. They were robots or something:p]))

((But, if theres like a HUGE explosion, and their next to it, then yes, they die.))

((So does that mean the girl from six is still alive :( ))

((Wait, what?))

((Can you kill characters that hadn't been made by anyone.))

((Yes, in the Arena 18 Character Archives, I made a list of those that are up for grabs))

((Ok thanks!))

((No problem))

As the bell sounded, Daisha started immediately running away from the cornucopia. She knew that if she could get away she might be able to survive. As she looked around she thought about how cruel this place could really be. It looked amazing at first but once you were in it for a couple of days you would realize everything that sucked about it. When Daisha was far enough away from everyone she started to lightly jog. She was in good shape so the sprint didn't bother her a bit. Daisha started to look for a decent sized candy cane to hide by. After hours of searching, she finally found one that would keep her partially covered. She then started to look for something edible. All she could find was candy. Not even fresh water. All she thought about was how terrible this really was. She knew that she was going to be extremely sick. How was she expected to survive without water?! Daisha began to panic. She decided to go to sleep and hopefully in the morning she would be able to figure something out.

Quassia turned sharply at the snap of a small candy cane, and saw Lee standing behind her. "Lee!" She said, grinning widely. "Anything happen while I was gone? Or, rather, and deaths?" Quassia asked politely, picking up a gumdrop and popping it in her mouth.

Annatta ran further into the lollipop fields, grabbing a piece of candy every so often and stuffing it into her mouth. Although she knew the candy would get old - and fast - she found it hard to resist the urge to stuff it all into her face. "Calla!" She called, knowing that it was risky. And as if to confirm her thoughts, a tribute her own age popped out from behind a lollipop, bow taut. "Idiot," Annatta observed, throwing a knife into his skull. "I'm sorry, I know us twelve year olds are supposed to stick together, but I can't risk you killing me."

Julian had been spawned right next to Ken as they both had a stare down.
"I don't wish to kill you Julian..." Ken said with a dark face. He knew his fate and he knew that no one would want to be his friend besides Sky. He looked around quickly and tried to find Sky, but he had no idea where she was.
"I don't know about you, but I want to be a winner, so your going to have to die buddy." Julian said. Julian charged with his bare fists and leaped into the air. Ken dove underneath and dodged the attack.
"Don't do this!"
"Too late." Julian kicked at Ken's face, but Ken quickly grabbed his foot.
"No!" Ken picked Julian up and slammed him on the floor. Julian lied unconsious on the floor. "Oh... oh no!" Ken ran away from Julian with tears in his eyes. He had no intention of hurting anyone. He had no intention of winning either.

Lee smirked, "You shouldn't eat those so quickly into the game. Your body isn't familiar with the candy. The more you eat the sicker you'll get. U your from one, two, or three. Those tributes are spoiled. As for deaths." She pulled out a knife and thrust it into the gummy grass behind them. She heard a grunt and moved aside the brush to see
The boy from 1w the knife protruding from his stomach. Pulling it out she stabbed it in the neck, watching his heart stop. Then spun around. "We got one."

Calla frowned. She heard her name being called. Ugh, stupid Annatta. She didn't care if she was young, you shouldn't give way to your location. Running silently in that direction she wove around the lollipop trees. Her name still rang in her ears.

Emily wrote: "((Can you kill characters that hadn't been made by anyone.))"

((how do you access that??))

((Find the topic for the characters in the character OR archives folder. There will be a list. Dead characters will be crossed out. ^^))

Billie stared around in absolute disgust. She'd played Candy Land exactly once before, and hated it. Was this a joke? She had to live on candy. She almost wanted to scream out 'Come and kill me!' But she didn't. She could still live after this. Guess she was living on candy for a week, or however long this lasted. But she was NOT eating the coconut flakes. If she hated anything more than the game Candy Land, it was coconut.

((Anyone wanna help out pour Julian who is just helplessly laying on the floor?:P))

((Not really :D))

((:P))

Rae's stomach twisted at the blast of the horn. She thought she was ready, but the fact that she would have to kill so many kids made her blood run cold. Of course, it would be in self-defense, so was it such a bad thing? It wasn't that she hated the fighting, that was exhilarating, but she despised the fact that nobody really had a choice whether they wanted to live or die. She used to be a lover, but now she was a fighter. She wasn't sure how she felt about that.

She ran to the cornucopia and pulled out a dagger, several arrows, and a bow. The bow and arrows weren't fashioned in the sturdiest way, that's why Rae grabbed the dagger, so she could make different ones later. These arrows would have to do for now.

She saw children run in all different directions. Some went to their alliances, but Rae was alone. Rae ran to the cover of a large candy cane tree so she wouldn't have to watch her back. She had excellent hearing and eyesight, like most master archers do, but she didn't have eyes in the back of her head. She drew her bow and clicked an arrow into place, tweaking the feathers just a bit after determining the wind factor. The dagger was tucked into her waistband, easily accessible.

A little while away, she heard slow breathing. Someone was sleeping this early into the game? How stupid. Eager to get the first kill over with, Rae crept along the trees, careful keep her back to the trees, keen to every sound. Then, quickly and quietly as one can be, Rae grabbed the dagger from her pants. It made a sound- shing. Rae concentrated on the shiny blade as she pressed into to the girl's temple. She didn't blink as she drove the blade up into the girl's brain and twisted it. The girl didn't have time to feel pain. This brought Rae comfort.

Rae wiped the dagger on the girl's shirt put it back into her waistband. She picked up her bow and drew back the arrow as she ran away. She was ready to deflect any projectile that came her way. She didn't know how she would fare against a dagger or sword, but she was confident in her ability to hear the person before they came to her. Of course, this was the Hunger Games. You couldn't really be fully confident. There is always someone stronger than you. Her back was always covered.

((Oooh, I think I did this wrong. I thought I could jsut kill Daisha because she was asleep but now I feel like that is cheating. Am I?))

((No you aren't cheating. I was just waiting for her to die. She is the most lousy character ever. Thanks! :D))

((okay thanks. I am relieved that you aren't angry. :) But under normal circumstances when someone is in battle, you would fight, not just kill ttys person with one post, right?))

((Ya, Melanie, if someone says that their character can be killed, be our guest. Haha))

((hey just broke my arm so i might not b on as much srry :( ))

((:O how did you break your arm?))

((lolz lets just say i hit the floor... hard :P ))

((It must have been pretty hard to break an arm. I hope your arm gets better.))

((Ouch. I had a broken spine. Super ouch.))

Billie grabbed a shortsword and a small dagger, and ran off, towards a giant candy cane.

((lol Melanie did you get that name from Sunshine? I've noticed no one has posted in here for a while...so...yah just wanted to let everyone know this rp still exists))

((lolz i know right? Emily isnt one of ur chars supposed to be my friend? lolz))

((Lol yah I think Lee is cause Calla hates everything xD how's your leg?))

((lolz u mean arm?))

((Yah sorry I fail when it comes to ligements lol and for some reason when I heaa broken bone I think of leg haha probably cause my brother broke his))

((lolz its cool it doesnt hurt that much but u always feel useless cause u cant do anything with a broken arm =/ its healing though))

((It could be worse, you. Could have a broken leg haha))

((lmao!))

Billie whipped around, facing a boy who she recognized as the boy from 4, standing in front of her, a longsword held up readily.

His face was already cut, a droplet of blood sliding it's way down his left cheek. Blood already stained his sword, along the blade's edge.

Billie struck first, her short sword sliding down his to his wrist. He jerked back quickly, but the tip dragged across the skin, cutting into the flesh.

He stabbed at her, but too quickly she dodged and went for his leg with her feet, tripping him but ending up down herself. She brought her elbow down on his nose, smiling to herself as she heard it crack.

The boy yelled as blood spurted everywhere, drenching Billie's elbow, his chin, and his shirt.

Billie flipped around, and stabbed her dagger into his throat.
The boy from four jerked a little, making faint gurgling sounds, struggling for his last breath, then gave a big, final sigh.

((Okay, so this is still alive?))

((SOMONE ATTACK ME! lolz im super bored =/))

((Okay. This Arena is VERY dead))

A gamemaker looked down below. This arena was going so slow, slower then the mollases that came down from one of the water falls in the arena. He tapped his fingers together, then finally came up with something. He pressed a button and the Peeps were released. They weren't planning to do this until near the end, but this would be the perfect time.

The huge Yellow Peeps came out of a huge cell that was hidden deep in the arena with their Machine Guns. The arena was suddenly very quiet. Like the eye of the hurricane. The only sound you can hear is the light sound of the Mollases coming down from fall and hitting the pool of it underneath. Then suddenly a huge lollipop is blasted behind you. Then, all you can hear from then on is the constant whirl of the guns. Its now chaos with people screaming and the sound of the guns.

Welcome to CandyLand.

(Well 8 was waiting for Reagan but I guess she's died or gotten herself abducted by aliens or something so oh well)

Lee flew into the ground at the sound of bullets. Completely forgetting Quassia she crawled as fast as she could over to the mollases fountain. The mollases should hide her or at least obscure her from whatever was shooting's vision. She was almost there when a shadow went over her. Looking up she saw blocking her path, a giant yellow peep. The marshmallow ones that kids get from the Easter Bunny on Easter. The kids from 1 2 and 3 that is. Growling she grabbed her whip and whipped it, watching it curl around the head. She tugged it and watched as it cleanly decapitated the chick. It fell to the ground with a thud. As she got up she picked up the gun snarling, "Tell the Easter Bunny thanks for nothing." Then she ran.

Calla cussed as she heard the firing of guns. Guns, no fair. She hadn't known guns were in the cornucopia. Hoping Annatta could hold herself for a little, she changed directions. Now instead charging straight into the sea of lollipops. As far as she was concerned they couldn't shoo what they couldn't see. If only there were trees, then she could climb up them and dissapear in the underbrush. All that was here though was candy, stupid disguisting sticky.... with a jolt she dug her heels into the ground. Sticky that was it. Searching she spotted a smaller lollipop tree about her height, a sapling among the rest. Walking over she proceeded to lick it, until it was covered in saliva and her mouth was dry. Quuickly she pressed her hands to the lollipop one at a time. Then her feet until both hands and feet were completely sticky. Smiling she eyed the lollipops, picking one whose top lay hidden within the rest. She started to climb, the stickiness of her limbs making it almost too easy.

Billie whipped around, looking at the giant Peeps-with Machine-Guns((Great invention, by the way!!!)). One of them turned to her, giant eyes staring ahead, almost as if it were blind. Billie knew better. The gun fired, but already she was running in the opposite direction, ducking and jumping to avoid other bursts of bullets. Ugh, did these things ever run out of bullets???

((Sorry guys, I've sort of lost my muse for this arena. :/ You can kill Quassia. The aliens don't like it when you communicate with humans on board their ship...))

Annatta watched Calla disappear, deciding to take actions into her own hands. That was fine with Annatta, as long as she still had her knives and sword. A peep with a gun was suddenly right in front of her, and Annatta froze for a moment. Could they be killed? Annatta didn't know, but she certainly was going to find out. "For my brother!" She roared rather valiantly as she swung her sword across the peep's stomach. What appeared to be melted and extremely hot marshmallow poured out of the wound, leaving the peep (as it lay fatally wounded) to fire it's gun at random. Annatta jumped and avoided the bullets once, twice, but not a third time. She let out and ear-splitting scream as she was shot in the arm, blood pouring from her wound faster than she could believe. She sprinted away from the beast, pan shooting up her arm every time she moved it. She needed it to be bandaged, and fast.

((I think this arena has died.... Hm... Tell you what, next person to post with their character can be crowned victor. I don't think this arena will get up off it's feet....))

((I dont want to win if im not really going to do it with a real action so don't post me as victor please.))

((I don't think anyone does. It feels like cheating. Kill my character. :/ ))
