The Hunger Games RP discussion

You are flown to an underground bunker, where all 24 tributes wait until 9:00 AM sharp. You get dressed in your clothing, a simple and sturdy outfit conposed of underwear, a tank top, pants, a belt and a light jacket. Your boots have good traction on the tile floor. Your district token is attached to your person. You say goodbye to your District partner, mentor, and designer, most likely for the last time. An automated voice tells you to step into the tube. You obey. The tracking chip in your arm beeps.

The tube shoots you up. It pauses over a large wheat field. Was this your Arena? There wasn't even a Cornucopia! Wait… your tube continued to slide upward. You went up and up, confused. The platform stopped at a large, flat cloud. What were the Gamemakers thinking? The kids would go right through the cloud and fall to their deaths! But when you step out of the tube and onto your platform, you realize that the groundlike material feels solid, like walking on a mattress.

You wait on the platform for sixty seconds. Then Claudius Templesmith's voice booms, "Let the Hunger Games begin!" The gong sounded. Happy Hunger Games, everyone.

The Arena: The Arena is circular, andabout ten miles in diameter. The tributes are in a perfect circle around the Cornucopia, which marks the center of the entire playing field. The further you travel away from the Cornucopia, it gets foggier and harder to see. This is a good hiding place, but offers no food. Birds are the primary source of things to eat. There are no plants except for in the Cornucopia. Because of the altitude, it is a chilly Arena. The ground is a spongy material. The only source of water is rain, which will be introduced by the Gamemakers at certain parts of the Games. The whole Arena is surrounded by a forcefield. If you try to jump off the cloud, you are instantly fried.

In the Cornucopia: There are ten bows in the Cornucopia, good for hunting birds with. There are a variety of swords, knives, daggers, maces, tridents, and spears. There are three tent packs. There are twelve clothing bags, each with socks, a shirt, and pants. There are fifteen backpacks which all contain: a large wooden bowl, a flashlight, and socks. There are large baskets of food. Miscellaneous items include: iodine (water purifier), rope, dried fruit packs, jerky, bread, bandages, spearheads, gloves, comb, sleeping bags, sunglasses, and flint and steel.

Things to Note:
•Only Gamemakers can introduce rain or traps.
•It is very likely that your character will die.
•No character is immortal. Be realistic.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

*Without his steel toes, Andrew flew across the pink clouds without hesitating. He knew none of the other tributes could run as fast as him. He reached the Cornucopia in under 3 minutes. He grabbed three backpacks, a broad sword, 7 daggers, a spleeping bag and iodine and bread, which he shoves into one of the packs. Then he hops onto the top of the golden Cornucopia, where the clouds conceal him completly. He waits for the next tribute to come, so he can take off in the direction they went, and maybe kill them to. Even though he wills himself not to, his hands shake.*

*Elynnabeth dashes as quickly as she can to the Cornucopia. She knows some people would be there already, so she went as stealthily fast as possible. She reachs the Cornucopia unscathed, grabs iodine, bread, and a pack. Before anyone notices, she takes off in the direction they came- She thought the best way to go was stay on the outskirts, so she could see people comming. She began running quickly, about half way there by now.*

*Penny was not a runner. She knew there was no chance she was going to win. So she just went right to the edge of the clouds, laid down on her stomach so she could see someone comming, and awaited her death. She hoped someone would ally with her and share their goods, although she knew it was a thin chance.*

*Sasha was a pretty quick runner, so he took off to the cornucopia, not caring about how loud he was. He jumped into the high-entranced cornucopie easily. He grabbed as quickly as he can, iodine, jerky, bread, a pack and a sleeping back. He also tucks a dagger and a bow and arrows before dashing back in the directin he came.*

(oh and Elynnabeth grabbed a bow and arrow, didn't see that they were there -.-)

*As Elynnabeth came silently, Andrew waited at the head of the Cornucopia for Elynnabeth to come out.The mouth was much lower then the head, so when Elynnabeth came out, he leaped down to chase her, and he did for about 15 feet, but then he noticed she was going in the direction she came. He couldn't go that way! She was already there. And he had forgotten which way he came from- the clouds left no traces what-so-ever. So he walked back to the Cornucopia and clambered back on, crouching.* (which gave Sasha the chance to get his stuff together and run)

Kat runs for the cornucopia and grabs a pack, some daggers, bread and iodine. then runs, unknowingly, in the direction of andrew. she runs as fast as she can, trying to avoid the blood bath.

Seth runs and grabs a few knives, a sleeping bag, iodine, and some bread. he runs blindly trying to get away from the tributes.

*Andrew is poised to kill Kat with a dagger,, but when he sees who it is, he can't bring himself to do it. But when Seth starts running, he whips a dagger at him and it lands in his high up thigh, causing him to stumble greatly. He smiles smugly- no one can see him because of how he positioned himself in the clouds*

Seth stumbled and fell. he thre a knife at anyone who go too close

Kat looked where andrew was hiding.

Roma burst from her platform at the sound of a gong. She ran daintily and quickly, liken gazelle. All she needed was a bow and a quiver of arrows and some sort of shelter. She found her bow and arrows, and got lucky enough to snag a tarp and a backpack. She leaped with joy away from the Cornucopia, with the pack and her bow in her hands. She scanned the horizon for Sethrim, because she knew that she had to find him now or never. She found him, a good hundred meters away. Roma saw him trip over something… a knife! Roma fired an arrow at the shoulder of the tribute who did it. She started to slowly move closer to her ally, agiley dodging his knife. "Sethrim!"

Sethrim was about to throw a knife at her "get ba-!" he looked closer "roma!" He let out a sigh of relief "at least you won't kill me." he started taking the knife out of his leg.

Roma smiled at him. It was good to have an ally. Of course, he was wounded at the very start of the Games, and that wasn't the best situation to be in. "Let me help you," she said, extending her hand. "I didn't get a medkit, I'm sorry. We'll have to find something for you."

He nodded and tore off part of his shirt, tying it around his wound "too bad there aren't any trees." he stood shakily.

"Yeah." Roma looked around. The landscape itself had little to offer. "We need to get out of the open," she said. She wrapped her free around him to help him walk. Roma wasn't the strongest person, but she would help Seth in every way that she could.

he nodded "the fog get's thicker the farther out you go. so let's start walking." he started walking with her

Andrew barely dodged the arrow, but he was still smirking. Even though Roma could see him, the cloud distorted him so much that she couldn't get a clear shot. When he saw Roma going off with Seth, he knew this was his chance. He ran in he direction Roma came, holding his stuff on his back expertly and the daggers already hidden on his form. He got out of the clouds more quickly the he got in. He saw that no one was at the edge, where he was heading. He made it right to th force field and laid down on his tummy, making it impossible for anyone to see him*

Kat sighed and sat at the edge of the cloud, listening for any tributes. she didn't want to kill anyone, except for maybe Andrew. She looked around wondering where he was maybe he was killed in the blood bath... but she knew that was too much good luck for her. she sighed and looked through her pack.

Andrew sifts through his three packs. In one, a flashlight, jerky, a small pillow and rope. In the second, more iodine, bread, a huge bowl and five arrows. "well that's useless." he mutters. But he kept them anyways. I need everything I can get my hands on. Even if its a bowl. He thought. In the last one, three water bottles, batteries, a little heat reflecting blanket and dried berries. He shoved all the items into the darkest pack, everything barely fitting. He even got his sleeping bag in it. He threw the other to bags against the force field, erasing any sign of him. They evaporated against the force field.

she nodded liking what she got. she hoped it wouldn't get too cold tonight. she sighed "i should have gotten a sleeping bag. now i'm going to freeze." she muttered, angry with herself. she glanced around and kept her ears open for any sound betraying the location of tributes.

((The only items that were in the packs: bowl, flashlight, socks. Nothing more was placed in the packs. Please edit.))

(Ya sorry -.- thats what was in the pack)

8Andrew grumbled silently. There could have been something better! now he was left with bread, a sleeping bag, three bowls, three flashlights, and three pairs of socks. Oh well, could have been worse. He tucked himself into the sleeping bag, still watching th horizion*

Kat got up and started walking, keeping an eye out. she saw andrew and narrowed her eyes, ready to throw her knife.
((O_O omfg...i just finished catching fire...i wana cry like so bad ='( ))

(aaaaaaaawwwww, :()

Andrew easily spotted Kat comming. He sat up and got out of his sleeping bag, his hands up in the air, empty, although he knew he could grab one of the daggers on his form easily. "Kat... Allies?" He whispered so no one else could hear but her.

She looked at him...then she noticed his sleeping bag and sighed putting the weapon away and walking closer, whispering "fine but you better share that sleeping bag. i'm freezing." she shivered

Addison was off. She ran as fast as her feet would allow. Grabbing the nearest pack and bow and arrow. She made a quick dive when someone threw a knife at her. Barely missing her stomach by a hair. She rolled onto her feet and took off. She sped past everyone. The fog getting a bit deeper. But she held her sight. The fog was easy to see through, and the sky was clear above. She would be able to see a tribute coming at her at any second.

Andrew saw Addison running in the direction facing away from him and Kat, but he still go nervous.
"get in here, before someone sees you!" he growled. He go in himself, scoothig over so she would fit in with his warm body as well.

She raised and eyebrow but got in her back to him. "we're in the thickest part of the fog, calm down."

Andrew didn't say anything. But he did wrap his arms around her.

she blushed slightly she would have slapped him or glared at him if she wasn't really tired "you take first watch. i'm taking a nap."

Andrew nodded, tearing off a bite of bread for each of them. "good night Kat." he said, laying down with his arms still wrapped around her waist.

she had to fight the urge to shudder and let her eyes close. now matter how annoying he was she welcomed his body heat. she dozed off after a while.

Andrew kept an eye out until about five in the morning until he had to wake up Kat.

Kat's eyes fluttered open and she instantly grabbed a knife before remembering who she was with "what? do you need me to take watch while you sleep?"

A- "yup. It's five AM. Wake me up at nine or when here's danger" he mumbled, laying his head on the sleeping bag asthe clouds are really wet. He started breathing heavily immediatly*

she glanced at him. she could kill him right now and take his stuff. she sighed but i can't win the games alone.

Hey I'm going to be camping for five days I can't rp sorry don't kill w please

Andrew opened his sleep filled eyes. The sun told him it was way past nine. "what time is it??" He hissed at Kat.

"noon." she shrugged

Roma started walking toward the dense fog to their left. She tried to move quickly, but was afraid of injuring Seth further. She heard no cannon, Whig meant that the Career who had wounded him was still alive, and still hunting. Roma shivered slightly. After about a mile of walking, they were in the fog, and Roma was tired. She released him and sat on the ground. "I'm sorry, I don't think that I can go further," she said.

Seth nodded, now pale "neither can i." he sat ruffly on the ground "we should rest anyway."

(I'm baaaack!)

Andrew grumbled to himself while untangling himself from Kat.

(sorry pressed send before I ment to. Hears the rest) he started packing the sleeping bag into the one big backpack.

She already had her pack over her shoulder "i didn't see any reason to wake you." she told him.

"How bad is your leg?" Roma asked. She was breathing heavily and her hair was matted with sweat. Blisters formed on her feet and her calf muscles were twitching. The two of them had covered a lot of ground despite Seth's injury.

A- "thanks." he said genuinely. He picked up his pack, sling it over his shoulder and then places his other arms around Kats shoulder. "so what's the plan, princess?"

She plucked his arm off of her and looked at him "we servive hide, and if needed, kill. i'm good with a few snares but there aren't any trees to make them work."

She plucked his arm off of her and looked at him "we servive hide, and if needed, kill. i'm good with a few snares but there aren't any trees to make them work."

Seth shook his head "it isn't bad. at least i'm not going to bleed to death." he looked at her "you should get some sleep. i'll take first watch."
