Welcome to the Arena!

Let the 34th Hunger Games Begin! Create.php?text=Welcome%21&name=Babalu

Below is a Diagram of how you Tributes will be assembled around the Cornucopia, except the shape got a bit warped, so imagine it more symmetrical. Please take it into consideration as a guideline, not an exact position.

       D1M~~~~~D7F
  D1F~~~~~~~D7M
   D2M~~~~~~~~~~D8F
D2F~~~~~~~~~~~~D8M
D3M~~~~~~~~~~~~~D9F
D3F~~~~~~~~~~~~~~D9M
  D4M~~~~~~~C~~~~~~~D10F
   D4F~~~~~~~~~~~~~D10M
D5M~~~~~~~~~~~D11F
   D5F~~~~~~~~~D11M
      D6M~~~~~~~D12F
      D6F~~~~~D12M

In the Arena you will need something to wear, obviously. We in the Capitol will provide you with the following uniform to protect yourself with.

Attire(Star Wars Style):

As of this moment, the games have begun. You will post in this topic of your tribute in the sixty seconds before the gong sounds and the tributes are set upon each other. You will not leave your plate until a Gamemaker announces the end of the sixty seconds and sounds the gong. Trying to leave the plate early is an automatic disqualification, on account that if you survive the mines you will be crippled and will bleed out or be easy pickings for the other tributes. Once the gong sounds, you are free to run away or fight, as you choose, but you must post twice after the gong before you escape the cornucopia, the second of which you can leave.

SUPPLY LIST:

0 sword
0 spears
0 Bow
0 arrows
0 throwing knives
0 knives
0 loaf of bread
0 apples
0 shields
0 boxed package
0 green liquid(bottled)
0 bottles of water
0 boxes of matches
0 ropes
0 camouflage robe

Each tribute may take up to two weapons. A shield, by the way, counts as a weapon. Don't go overboard with supplies. If I find you have taken like everything and would never be able to carry it, besides making it unfair, I will tell you that your tribute has dropped some of the items and may keep a certain amount. This probably won't be a problem, but if it is that's what'll happen. Other than that, supplies are pretty must first come first serve, and I will keep the list updated as best I can as we go.

Now, without further ado...

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET THE 34TH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!

Guest

I step into my clear Tribute tube. I swallow hardly as the artificial sun blinds me for a few seconds. I look next to me at Preston. I give him a half hearted smile and I then spot the cornucopia. I am probably an inch or too closer than Pretson... but who says that matters? I scan the Tribute circle, seeing anyone who I could easily kill off quickly without getting killed myself. I have a 6 in Training, which is higher than my expectations I set on myself before I left for the Capitol. I smirk as I start to get more confident."Let the Games begin," I whisper to myself as I wait for the timer to tick down.

I feel myself being lifted into the arena, and I'm suddenly nervous. This whole time I've been pretending like I've got this in the bag. I never let myself think about the actual games. Now that it's here, so many thoughts start threatening to overwhelm me. I take deep breaths, remembering what my mentor told me. Slowly, I begin to calm down. I can look around now. I find I'm right next to my district partner. Of course, the girl from two is next to me. I don't know what to make of her. But I can't worry right now. I take a look at the arena, then at the cornucopia. The odds are not in my favor.

Preston rose from the platform and up in to the Arena. He looked around, seeing all the other tributes ready to fight to the death. Preston waiting for the gong to ring. He was nervous, and he just wanted to make it out of the bloodbath alive, it was all he hoped for right now. Preston cracked his knuckles and prepared to run. Run for his life, because it was all he had left.
Preston exhaled as he imaged so many lives flashing before their eyes.

Amaya tied back her hair into a plain ponytail as she waited in a room that led to a tube like thingy. Had time passed by that fast? She could've sworn that she was just on the train two days ago or something. Now, she wondered if she even trained enough, but no point freaking out now. She smiled to her stylist who just stood there staring at her as if sending her kid off to kindergarten on the first day. "See you soon," Amaya waved as the timer prompted them and she walked up to the strange thing. She stared at her clothing, not much protection, but at least it was comfy. She clutched onto the hem of her ragged shirt to stop them from shaking, her mind and face could lie, but her body just reacted by instinct; scared and dying to just run away. Amaya held up the vial from her neck and glanced at it, seeking any kind of comfort from it. She kissed it before dropping it down to her chest as the light started to fill up the tube from above.

When any kind of scenery was finally in view, Amaya's heart just sank. A little breeze blew over the tributes, and when she turned her head a little to the side, she could've sworn it was the end of the road. She didn't want to lean forward to find out. She pulled her focus back to the center where everything laid. The 60 seconds had begun and she felt like shriveling into the dust on the ground. Amaya had to block out any panicking thoughts, instincts can only run her body, not her mind. She scanned through every single item there, some strange, but many comforting. A mental list was already running through her mind as she gripped and released her cold hands. Well this is a piece of cake, she humoured herself in her mind, as long as I don't fall off the cliff, I should be fine. Right? Her eyes darted to the other tributes, realising Levi was on her left, and the one from 5 on her right. Maybe running beside guys would push herself to run a little quicker than usual. They always say to run as if your life depends on it.

Because it does.

--Rin--
The day of the games. The big day has finnally come. I step into the tube silently. The tube rises up into the arena. I look around me and look for my allies. Will they still be my allies when the gong sounds? I'll have to find out later. Right now, I got my eye on a couple knives. I need those to survive on. Some type of weapon would do me good. I wait for the gong to sound.

Let the 34th Hunger Games Begin! Anima_11

---District 9---Female---16---

The morning of the games had come and Anima was more or less prepared. While some if the tributes cried on their way to the holding area before the arena, the girl from District 9 was calm. Her face was devoid of all emotions and their was no hesitation boiling inside her. The worst that could happen was she died and it wasn't like she had anything to go back to. In a hunt it was always said one should watch out for those who have nothing left to lose, and maybe they were right. But right now all she could do was look in front of her and wait to arrive with her stylist, the all too perky woman who dressed her in the pretty clothes of the Capitol to try and make an impression, a feat which seemed to prove too difficult to actually accomplish.

Dressed in her attire, which appeared to be a tunic with some leggings, she was now ready to face the unknown. A scary thought for some but for Anima it only brought excitement. The prospect of the unknown never scared her and neither did the darkness the games brought out of people. The butterflies flitting around in the pit of her stomach could hardly be contained, even with her even temperament in that moment as she paced a little in the small stall that was in her mind like a waiting room before heading to slaughter. She tried her best to push her mind through the rushing thoughts but nothing worked, and only until the countdown to get into the elevator began did she start to calm down slightly.

Rushing upwards, Anima had hardly anytime to breathe it seemed like as in an instant everything around her changed. The climate controlled room was gone and it was replaced by cliffs and sand. Lots and lots of sand. It reminded her slightly of District 9 a little with the heat, though there was no grain around at all. She looked to her left and right to see who she was next to her. At her right was the boy from District 8 that she had seen around in training though never spoke to and to her left was the all too familiar face of Cyrus. His smile was wide as they met eyes but his normal glowing look was gone as the color seemed to be drained from his face and the puffiness around his eyes suggested that he had been crying just like the day of the reapings. Anima's harsh gaze did nothing to stop his smile though, just like every other day up until that point he seemed to be a glowing beacon of optimism.

Now Anima just stood on that plate, waiting. Waiting for the gong to ring, waiting for the blood to be shed and waiting to run and run as fast as she could.

Subject: Re: Let the 34th Hunger Games Begin! Sat Sep 21, 2013 2:01 pm

The moring of the Games, I feel my stomach tied knot as in the parade day. I'm wondering if that day I gained anything...Any sponsors that cared for me? Anyone that bet into my winning? I had a plesing mark in the training. Not too high, not too low. Now, as I walked in the dressing room underground the arena I glanced at my stylist. He showed me a tunic in the color of sand and brown leggings. I was ready to shout that this gave me no protection and it was tottally useless when I remembered that I wasn't controling the odds, but the odds did control me. I wore them quickly and felt the soft cloth on my skin.

The stylish nodded me that I was ready and got me in the tribute tube. I wonder how many tributes he nodded at before. Tributes that were no longer alive... I blamed my slef for thinking these things. I saw my face devoid of all emotions as always on the glass door that closed behind me. But there was something else on me...I was nervous and pale.
-You have nothing to afraid of I hissed at my self and I clentched my hands in fists. I felt my nails hurting my skin but I didn't bother. I had much more to face once I got up. The light blinded me for a split second before my vision clears and I find my self looking at the cornucopia. I turn around carefully and shiver when I see the cliff. I won't fall! I think strongly.

My first thought is to run. When I see my tribute parthner though I know that I have to dirt my hands with blood by the first moment. I search around with my eyes. Allies were few and might not still exist as I had some time to talk them...Enemies were all of them...
I waited silently the gong sound counting the time from my inside. I was ready to give it all!!

swan Genevieve Belaire

Swan's heart was beating loudly in her ears, as she flexed her fingertips, trying to make sure she could still move. The moment had come, the games were beginning, and she could die. Now, right now, and in that second, she had never felt so close to death, like he could reach down and snatch her up off of her plate.

Her hazel eyes scanned for the career's she had spoken to, Lori and Lola. She hoped that their somewhat alliance would remain true. Doing her best to smile at them, she then turned to look at the cornucopia. No daggers, not like the ones she preferred, were in her sight. There were two knives, and she figured one could work. She would make it work, at least.

The clock was ticking down, and she glanced at the faces of the rest of the tributes. The expressions ranged from terrified to confident, and everything in between. As for Swan, she was just trying to keep from cracking, keeping the winning smile plastered onto her face.

Aris had watched the countdown until the gong and then went when time was up and she sprinted for the corn, grabbing all seven arrows and then picking up both spears she could find. After that she decided she didn't want any food or water for the time being and she just grabbed the bottled liquid, that wasn't water and looked for an escape out.

Amaya kept her eyes on the timer during the 40 seconds mark, and the rest of the time, eyes on the prize. Her repeated the things she needed countless times, letting out a long shaky breath. She felt her shoulders relaxed and she closed her eyes, counting down the seconds before the safety disappears. Amaya lowered her stance, ready to make a dash for it, eye shifting back and forth to make sure the numbers were syncing in her head. And then the silence broke into the shrilling gong. The District 4 girl sprinted for what caught her eyes most, the throwing knives. She needed them badly and when her hands got hold of them, that was half of the challenge. Her hands and legs instantly moved towards next on her list and so on so forth, stuffing the bread inside her baggy shirt that held secured with a tight belt and holding on to the bottle of water. She never wanted what she saw next, but the possibilities and curiosity got the best of her as the grabbed the unknown packaged that laid there as well, ending up under her arm in her weaker hand that held the bottle. Among all the frenzy, pushing and grabbing, Amaya noticed a shadow rushing in from the side and her reflexes made her throwing out a knife at the figure. She only registered what happened when her mind was up to speed, definitely a little too slow for her own good; staring at the boy for a few seconds. The familiar face that was very much alive just a few minutes ago, standing right beside her by the District 5 platform. Amaya forced herself to run up and pull back the knife, already bloodied as it slipped back under her belt with the rest. That certainly escalated quickly, and it was scary, screams of help and lifeless gurgling mixed with laughter and shouts of triumph in the cacophony of chaos. Amaya snapped her head left and right, not really sure what to do or where to go next. Guess she didn't exactly plan this out really thoroughly. But her free hand gripped onto the normal knife as she hastened her look for an exit. Only rule now is to stay away from sharp objects, and away from that cliff. Even with so many people around her, it was a time where Amaya felt extremely lonely, not during training, or when she ate lunch alone, but now, when she know what if someone threw a spear at her, no one would help at all and watch her back.

Amaya's Items:
- 4 Throwing Knives
- 1 Knife
- 1 Loaf of bread
- 1 Bottle of water
- 1 Boxed Package

The gong sounds, and I run. Sprint, really. I pick up a shield just as the guy from Two gets to me, and I slam him with it. As he backs up, I reach for another weapon, but I don’t get to it before he’s back. I hit him again, then once more, not quite sure what I’m doing, but at least doing something. He’s dead before I realize it. I grab a cloak of some type, a bottle. Throwing the robe over myself, I swing the shield over my arm, hold onto the bottle with the other. Now there are plenty of tributes. I want to grab some other things, but I don’t have the time. I get ready to run.
Supplies:
1xSheild
1xCamo Robe
1xBottled water
Killed:
D2 Male NPC (unless he’s not an NPC, in which case, just pick a male to have killed)

Preston heard the gong ring and he ran, and ran like hell. First, he picked up a knife for a weapon. Preston also picked up a shield, too. Preston slashed his knife at the District 10 boy, killing him, and took a bottle of water and two apples from the boy. He looked around, trying to see if Jennifer or Summer were to be seen, hopefully not dead. Preston prepped himself with his supplies and weapons, trying to situate them in his belt. Preston then looked for an escape route, the perfect avenue of escape awaited him.
Preston got: 1 knife, 1 shield, 1 bottle of water, and 2 apples,.

I hear the gong ring. I'm startled, but I sprint to the cornucopia along with all of the other super fast Tributes. I snatch a bow off the ground, along with an apple, a bottle of water, and a rope. I quickly turn to where nobody's at, and sprint to an exit of this hell. I don't dare turn around to whatever horrors I might face.

---District 9---Female---16---

The gong went off and there was nothing in Anima's mind but the thought telling her to move forwards. She sprinted as fast she could, a skill she knew she had and reached the Cornucopia without even looking back to see if there was anyone close behind her trying to stop her from moving forwards. Instinctively she grabbed what looked to be a bundled up robe and a knife as well as a water bottle then turned around and ran straight back. Weaving and ducking under people she just held on to her prizes and let her legs carry her. She had just broken away from the pack when that familiar yelp came from behind.

"ANIMAAAA!" Her head moved in the direction of Cyrus whose hands looked to have a few items in them. Normally she would have just kept going, but this time she stopped and faced him; an action that brought a smile to his face. For once she may have actually realized that they could be a team, that naybe they could survive together. "I got some stuff, we could share it and..." Cyrus' words were cut off though as she reached up and snapped his neck in one fluid movement.. He fell to the floor along with the few things he had and slumped down on his knees.

"Thanks Cyrus...you were such a good friend." Anima whispered into his ear as she knelt down besides him. Her next task would be to see what he had, an apple and a shield. She scooped them up and tossed them into the bundle of stuff she grabbed already.

Grabbed items: 1 apple, and 1 shield.

((ignore the grabbing stuff....I am too lazy to rewrite anything.))

I run away now, getting away as fast as I can. I'm not fast enough though, and the guy from 12 runs into me, going after something of my supplies. I bash him with my sheild, two, three times. He's dead and I'm running away before I can even think

Preston looked for his escape route, and saw Summer standing alive. He gave her his usual weird smile and looked around to find anything left over. Preston didn't decide to waste time at the Cornucopia anymore, so he just ran, and ran like hell. He didn't wait for Summer or anyone else, he just ran. Preston smiled as he was out of the Cornucopia alive. He charged away from the bloodbath scene, hoping never to have to return, but it would somehow end up happening, maybe.

Preston Prescott left.

Anima looked around for a moment. Noticing the body in front of her and the stuff in her hand she knew she needed to leave. She pivoted on the balls of her feet and turned away from the scene. She needed to get put of here now whole she hadn't had any attention on her.

Anthony had been sort of in a daze as the gong went off, but jumped back in a few seconds after. I ran straight forward and grabbed the last shield and a sword, a rope and both apples. Then from behind me the district 12 boy tackled me, but I twisted over and shoved him back in enough time to grip his head between my hands and snap his neck. Then I got up and began looking for where I could escape.

I hurdle over a huge log as I sprint my fastest out of the desert. I pick up a sharp-looking rock. It could maybe be useful, right? I shrug my shoulders, hearing the screams of murdered kids. I start panting as the heat reaches me. I wipe my face off with the leave of my tunic. (Summer left the Cornucopia)

Amaya backed away from the Cornucopia as the items were picked off fast. It was her chance to run, but her mind was still panicking over where. She bit her lower lip as she made herself choose a path and stick to it. She'll never live if she don't try. She held on to her things tightly and ran away towards a path that seemed to lead downwards. She was alone, but maybe it'll work out. It's too late to try and get alliances. Plus, it was way too early to get too much blood on your hands. That's for the Careers to have fun with, and Amaya knew that she was no Career, no point staying here and pop champaign with them.
