Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 03:36:15 +0000

The time for the Hunger Games has come around again. 24 candidates have been chosen. But this time, some of the contestants are restless, and know there has to be another way. Follow a small group of children as they decide to rebel against the all powerful government. Do they have any chance to survive and succeed? (haha, I hate summaries. This is basically an AU, or hereticized version of the Hunger Games, Katniss and her crew never existed. We are starting from the interviews, and going until... actually I don't know when we are stopping. ) (if you would like to join, or want to know what's going on, head over to the other forum, http://nanowrimo.org/en/forums/role-playing-and-communal-story-building/threads/26079?page=3 I will post the deaths there after each 'day.') District 1 Girl: Akira Boy:------ District 2 Girl: Zoe Boy:----- District 3 Girl:----- Boy: Kaden District 4 Girl:----- Boy:----- District 5 Girl: Chloe Boy:------ District 6 Girl:------ Boy: Adrian District 7 Girl:----- Boy:----- District 8 Girl:----- Boy:----- District 9 Girl:----- Boy:----- District 10 Girl:----- Boy:----- District 11 Girl: Maya Boy: Aaron District 12 Girl: Saphire Boy: Ian Let the Hunger Games begin.

((Well, somone like Effie would only be around if we started from the Reapings. So I guess not...? I'll go ahead and post for Ceasar anyways.)) Smiling at the cheering crowd, Ceasar Flickerman tossed back his famously colored hair, this year an odd silver, and waited as the cameraman counted down the seconds till air time. When the red light came on, his smile broadened. "Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight we shall see the long awaited interviews for the twenty four extremely lucky tributes for this years Hunger Games!" He allowed a moment for the crowd to cheer louder, clapping their hands and a few shouting for their favorite contestants. After letting things calm down, Ceasar flashed another smile. "How about we give a big round of applause for miss Akira Haydez, our first tribute, from District One!" Again, the crowd cheered, and Ceasar took a breath as Akira walked to the podium. He had a feeling this years Games would be quite intresting. ((Gaaahh. Hopefully that wasn't too bad. :P And I'm extremely happy that you used my suggestion! ^_^))

Akira was wearing a dress of some sort. She hadn't really been paying attention to it, or anything else she been stuck in since everything had started. Once she was in the arena, when she could shed the dresses, the jewels, the pretense... She had a light mysterious smile on her face as she stepped up to the podium besides the famous interviewer, saying a hello to him an an house with a face that was difficult to read. She wasn't too concerned about the interview. She was from district one, a career, she would almost certainly be getting sponsers regardless. She been told to play mysterious, guarded, but she planned on that anyway. All the glamour, thegglitz, the attention, she didn;t like any of it, but she shouldn;t show weakness. Couldn't. --- Off two the side, watching the interviews take place a young boy sat, fidgeting in his seat. His first time being entered into the draw and he'd been picked. He'd had his nae of a single slip of paper amongst many, yet still he was here. He was terrified, and it showed. ((Hope thats okay...thought I;d show both of them and yeah..))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:12:28 +0000

((thats just fine, both of you! haha. And yah, i like that you showed both in one post. do have the questions written tuffy?))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:36:52 +0000

((Aha, sort of...? I'm just kind of winging it for the first interview, then I'll just write similar questions, if that's ok :) )) "Hello!" Ceasar greeted brightly. "So tell me, how are you liking the Capitol so far?" He asked. He looked at the crowd, giving them a 'It has to be' look and earning a laugh. He retured his look to Akira, waiting expectantly. ((Sorry it took me so long to reply :/ Crazy day...))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:40:23 +0000

((.... Right. My bad. Please excuse the very forgetful girl behind the computer screen, as she finds it difficult for certain stuff to stay in her brain. I'm not blonde, either, but I may have a few blonde moments just so ya know ;) )) ((Questions, coming up! The first one Ceasar asked Akira counts as well, so just copy/paste into your post, I guess...)) "So, what's like, hm? Being a contestant in the Hunger Games? Must be beyond your wildest dreams, no?" "What was your reaction when you got reaped? Elated? Surprised? A little scared?" "How about that training score, eh? Care to tell us what you did?" ((*runs and hides*))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

>>"Hello!" Ceasar greeted brightly. "So tell me, how are you liking the Capitol so far?" He asked. He looked at the crowd, giving them a 'It has to be' look and earning a laugh. He retured his look to Akira, waiting expectantly. "It's nice, better than I expected." Her tone was light as she gave a smile, as she had practiced. While she didn't really care about the interview, it would still be best to remain on peoples good sides."The people are kind and enthusiastic to." She'd only met a few, besides her designers and the Avox who tended to her and th e boy from district one. They'd been no-one noticeble. "Well that's always nice to hear. So, what's like, hm? Being a contestant in the Hunger Games? Must be beyond your wildest dreams, no?" "It is what I have always hoped for, to be able to represent my district in front of the people of Panem." To take the place of someone else so they didn't have to die needlessly. " I only hope I don;t let them down." Throughout the interview her tone had been the same pleasant yet guarded tone. Keeping it up was tiring her out, but she refused to give anything about herself away to the other contestants. >>"What was your reaction when you got reaped? Elated? Surprised? A little scared?" Ceaser continued on, and Akira found herself wondering when the 3 minutes would be up, so the attention would move off her. "I was thrilled for the most part. I'd always tried to volunteer, but as you know our district are always so eager to take part in this treasured event. That I'd finally suceeded, just before I became to old, I was estatic" It was hard to imgaine Akira as esactic, especially with the way she was acting now, so carefuly, so poised. "As are we all, for having you with us. How about that training score, eh? Care to tell us what you did?" For a second Akira recalled the flashing number that had been presented to her and the other tributes beneath her picture. 8. She wondered if it was alright. Not too high for a career, and not too low either. "I just did my best at showing the jusges what she could do." She'd been the 2nd to go, and had the attention of the panel, so impressing them with her unarmed skil and strength hadn't been too difficult. "If you want to know exactly what that is you are all just going to have to watch, aren;t you." She gave a smile, small, but still niticeble as a buzzer sounded, signaling her time was up. (Didn;t know whether or not to get him to introduce the next one, especially as he is currently a nameless. And hope an 8 score isn;t too bad)

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:10:59 +0000

((Since the score is between 1-12, 8 is really good, haha :P. I'll go check the discussion thread and see whose next and post another intro :) ))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:16:34 +0000

As the buzzer for the District 1 boy faded, Ceasar flashed yet another smile to the camera. "Such fine tributes from District One! Next up we have miss Zoe Tollens from District Two!" he said, and the crowd gave a round of applause.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:52:59 +0000

It was her turn. Zoe breathed in and out, composing herself. It was time to impress everyone, so they would be on her side. Zoe stepped up to the podium, her spilt skirt swaying around her. Her stupid stylists had tried to put her in a dress, but soon learned better. Zoe didn't WEAR dresses. This outfit was soo much better. Granted, it did look feminine, but it made Zoe stand out. Her legs were wrapped in a soft fabric, half pants, half skirt, appeasing everyone. Some how, the stylists had done something with her hair as well. She looked like a regular girl for once. Confident. Cool, calm, collected, and confident. She was going to win this year, and the entire audience needed to know it. "Ah, hello!" Ceasar greeted brightly. " So tell me, how are you liking the Capitol so far?" He paused, expectantly, and grinned at her, flashing unnaturally bright teeth. "Well enough." "Oh, only well enough? We have a tough one to impress here, folks!" The crowd laughed. "So, what's like, hm? Being a contestant in the Hunger Games? Must be beyond your wildest dreams, no?" "I've dreamed about being a contestant for so long. So, I guess you could say WITHIN my dreams, not beyond. And it's wonderful. I finally get the chance to prove myself to all the people of Panem! And believe me, they WON'T be disappointed." "Oh ho!" Caesar chortled. "She IS a tough one! Tell me, what was your reaction when you got reaped? Elated? Surprised? A little scared?" "Thankful. Excited." "How about that training score, eh? Care to tell us what you did?" Zoe smiled. She was still very proud of how she had impressed the judges. Because she was a career, the judges had paid attention to her, so she was able to show off her best abilities. "I got a 8." Caesar whistled. "That's a very good score, young lady! I hope you are proud!" "Hm. maybe a little. But mostly I expected it." The crowd laughed at her audacity. Good. She had them EXACTLY where she wanted them..... "There is one to watch, ladies and gentlemen! Next up is..." ((calm, cool, and collected. alliteration! and, Kaden Eiswell is next, but there is a girl in between, so....))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:27:04 +0000

With practiced ease, Ceasar moved through the interviews of Zoe's district partner, and the girl from 3. Giving another smile, silver painted lips giving him a very ghoulish appearance in the light, he called out "Kaden Eiswell, next to take the stage! Let's welcome our boy from District Three!"

Duskgem — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 23:04:20 +0000

((Altering Ceasers words slightly, as they're bound to diffe each time. Smae questions though.)) Kaden Eiswell. As his name was called out, the 12 year old boy felt himself freeze. His hands were sweaty, and he wished he could claim it was due to the suit he was wearing, stictched with various patterns and stone wmeant to represent circuit boards. At least that was wht he though the designer had said. He had been ppaying attention, to wrred about what was going to happen. Slowly he pushed himself out of his chair, trying to ignore snickering he heard coming from the seats around him. The careers, most of them looking amused at the sight of the young boy, especially at the fact he'd been sitting among them. So small compared to their size, and strength. "Welcome Kaden!" The larger than life interviewer grinned as he finally made it to podium, he hands nervously fidgeting in front of him, and he found himself wishing he had something he could paly with, but they weren;t allowed any such things, in case they could become a weapon. Sensing the boys nervousness Ceaser made his voice gentle. "Only 12, I guess this must be all so nervewracking for you? So how are you finding the capitol?" Kaden struggled, trying to remeber what his trainer had said, but his mind had gone blank. "It's..." He couldn;t help stuttering. He'd never been good wth people, or crowds, but this. This was on another level, not to mention the event it preceded. "...nice...I mean..." He tried to copy what the other before had said, the respnses that had got the audence cheering for them, but he couldn't do it. In the end he just clammed up. Which Ceaser responded to by putting a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Hey don;t worry kid. I guess it's quite overwhelming, isn;t it, especially for someone so age." He smiled lightly at the boy, and Kaden couldn;t be sure, but he heard some 'awws' coming from the audience. "So what does it feel like to be a contestant? Must be scary I suppose, being away from your family so young?" The questions, they were different from what he had asked before, more gentle and kind, as if he was reading the mood. Kaden began to see why Ceaser was chosen as the interview and host for the games. "Yeah, it is scary." Kaden began to feel like he could tell him anything, as long as ignored the rest of the audience, the rest of the world. "But, if I can do well, if I can help my family, my sister ..." He trailed off, clamming up again and trying not to cry at the thoughts of them. This time the 'awws' were definite, and loud. "Think about it this way - they're porbably watching you right now , supporting you, isn;t that right?" Ceaser was still smiling gently. "So how did it feel, when your name was picked, the first time you were in the respings." "I was..shocked. I didn't believe it was possible.."Kaden started, before realsing something. "...but I guess at the same time I was half glad, as it meant...it meant I had a chance to be a hero, to help my family and bring fame." He was still looking at the floor as he spoke, and he could still hear awws coming from teh audience, what he thought was an appalling perfromance infact actually drawing sympathy from the viewers. "Isn;t that heartwarming ladies and gentleman." There were a couple of calls of agreement. "So, how about the training score? A 5 no? Not to bad huh, especially for someone your size and age. Care to tell us what you did." Kaden nearly answered. He wasnted to answer Deaser, but then he rembered that none of the other had, not yeat at least, choosing to hid it in stead. "I just, did what I;m used to I guess, and the judges like it." Or took pity on him. "Well I think we're all wishing you luck in the Games Kaden...and thats the buzzer." Kaden returned to his seat, somehow feeling slightly better, now it was all over.

After both tributes from District 4 had gone, Ceasar called Chloe to the podium. She took a breath, trying to calm the nerves she had held at bay during the other interviews. Mysterious and confidant, like she knew something no one else did, was her goal. That, and charming. She scoffed inwardly at that. She was about as charming as the wild dogs that roamed the edge of the fence outside District 5. Ceasar shook her hand, "Hello! He greeted brightly, an over large smile on his face. "Tell me, miss Chloe. How does the Capitol differ from 5? Bet it's better yes? How do you like it?" Chloe smiled, "Oh hardly. Home is home, right? But the Capitol is absaloutely lovely. Everyone here is amazing!" She gushed. Ceasar looked at the crowd, "Hear that, folks? Guess we'll have to step our game!" The crowd laughed, adding applause to it as well. Chloe's smile was more of a smirk, her dark eyes quiet beneath her brow. Ceasar turned to her again, "What's it like, being a contestant? Surely, it's beyond anything you could imagine!" He stated. Chloe smiled again, "It's definitely more than I could have dreamed it would be. It's daunting, almost, the weight it's placed on everybody." She said, her face tragic. Ceasar switched gears, and nodded sadly, "Ah yes. Alas, the Games do place alot of weight on everyone. I mean, to pull this off without a hitch, simply terrifying!" He fanned himself with a hand. "That aside, how did you feel when your name was called, Chloe? Suprised? Were you excited? Scared, maybe?" He asked. Chloe thought a moment, glancing at the skirt of the long black dress she wore. "A little of everything, I guess you could say." She stated, but offered nothing more. "Oooh, you don't care to elaborate? Ah well... Speaking of mysteries though, care to tell us about your score? A ten. That's pretty good." He said, leaning forward along with the crowd for her answer. She tilted her head to the side, a mischevious smile on her face. "Oh. I don't think I'm aloud to say... I'm afraid you'll just have to wait and see." She said in a light, almost sing song voice. The buzzer sounded, and Ceasar made an exsasperated sound. "Ah, I guess we will! Best of luck, Chloe." And with that, she returned to her seat.

Tuffysgirl — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 02:38:38 +0000

((Whoops. Meant to introduce the next character :P)) After Chloe had gone, Ceasar interviewed the boy from 5 and the girl from 6. Then, "And let us welcome our boy from 6, mister Adrian Peterson!"

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:21:33 +0000

((haha, I'm a horrible author. I had to go look up his bio before I could start this... :) 10? Thats like amazingly good, unless the gamemakers were trying to get her killed....)) ((oh, and Adrian is 14)) Adrian walked up to the podium. His strategy, which seemed to coincide with everyone else's, was to be mysterious, knowing, and charming. Mysterious, he was good at. Charming? eh... "Hello, my boy!" "Hello." "Eh, how are you liking the Capitol so far? Different from what you are used to, right?" Caesar was slightly rebuffed by Adrian's cool response, which Adrian noticed, and injected warm into his tone to make up for it. "It has been nice so far. The people are more.... bright, than I am used to." Caesar laughed, and ran a hand through his silver mane. The audience laughed with him. "It definitely something to get used to! What is it like, being a contestant in the Games?" "I have watched the Games so much, that it is rather scary. You know, trying to live up to the legacy of my mentors, and everything!" Caesar looked at him a little oddly, apparently that wasn't an answer he got very often. Yet he asked the next question readily enough. "So, when you reaped, was that your automatic response? Awe? Or were you scared?" "Scared? No. To be honest, I rather expected to be picked... It felt like my destiny." The audience and Caesar were definitely looking at him oddly now. Was he not supposed to say that or something? "So... How about that training score? Care to tell us how you did?" "I did...well. Of course, I expected too, but it's always nice to be proved right, isn't it?" Caesar and the audience laughed, liking his audacity. The buzzer sounded. "Well, that our time! Ladies and Gentlemen, Adrian Peterson!" Adrian returned to his seat amidst applause. ((after a bunch of people...)) Next up is Maya Selene from District 11!" ((Nerdyygirl has been pretty MIA recently... What do you guys think?))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Duskgem — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 08:37:17 +0000

((Hmm, warning to Tuffy. The career pack is now oficially after Chloe, either to join them, or most likely to get riid of the threat...well more like revenge at getting better scores than them. 10 is a very good score... As for nerdyrgirl...give her a little more time, or nanomail her, then skip her interview. (We can always delay it, and play as if it had happened earlier)) If she still doesn;t show up once the game begins...we're going to end up with another cornucopia tradegy at the hands of careers it seems...But yeah, what I'm saying give her till the games start, We could also perhaps have Mya dissaper into the woods, if we're feeling nicer, and i she never shows say she just died of hunger, or similar..))

alannathelioness — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:51:05 +0000

After extensive research, I have compiled this list for the delight of all the viewers. Enjoy! (and be VERY glad....) District 1 Girl: Akira (MC, Dusk) Boy:Darius (Dusk) District 2 Girl: Zoe (MC, Rose) Boy: Cain (Dusk) District 3 Girl:Cornucopia Boy: Kaden (MC, Dusk) District 4 Girl: Ataria (Dusk) Boy:Eil (Charm) District 5 Girl: Chloe (MC, Tuffy) Boy:Cornucopia District 6 Girl:nameless (Charm) Boy: Adrian (MC, Rose) District 7 Girl:nameless (Charm) Boy:Cornucopia District 8 Girl:Aimee (Tuffy) Boy:nameless (Rose) District 9 Girl:Natasha (Rose) Boy:nameless (Charm) District 10 Girl: Jasmine(Dusk) Boy: Dale (Dusk) District 11 Girl: Maya (MC, Nerdyygirl) Boy: Aaron (MC, Charm) District 12 Girl: Saphire (MC, Charm) Boy: Ian (MC, Tuffy) MCs Character Name: Akira Haydez District: 1 Gender: Female Weapon/s: She's trained herself in barehand fighting, so prefers things like knuckledusters, however she will use whatever she can get her hands on. Specialities+Personality: As a career, she has been trained how to fight and survive from a young age, including unarmed in the off chance she can't get a weapon. She's actually somewhat less aggressive than most careers, while very confident, and still arrogant in her abilities, she has a sense of honour, and dislikes fighting those who can't fight back--part of the reason she trained as a career was so that she could prevent others she knew ending up getting hurt. Age: 16 Description: Tall like many careers, Akira's arms and muscles are noticebly toned, and she is built Character Name: Zoe Tollens District: 2 Gender: Girl Weapon/s: Sword, can manage a bow, hates to fight with fists, but can if she needs too. Specialities+Personality: Violent, she trained before the Hunger Games actually started. Because she is a career, she gets many 'presents'. She finds it hard to trust people. She doesn't tell anyone anything personal. She's a leader, and is good at it. If anyone is younger, she would feel really protective of them. Age: 16 Description: She has chin length golden blond hair, and green eyes. She would be pretty, but her nose has been broken at least once, and you can tell. She couldn't honestly care less. She's never been interested in girlish persuits, following her tomboyish nature. She is skinny, but tough. She is tall. atheletically. If possible she wears clothing she can easily move around in, but at the same time can't get caught on something, or by an opponent. She also has a tendency to wrap strips of cloth around her hands, wrists, and ankles for support and protection. Character Name: Chloe Markham District: 5 Gender: Female Age: 16 Description: Dark brown, curly hair that falls to her shoulders. Worn in a ponytail. Dark brown eyes that seem far older than they should be. Pale skin. Stands at about 5'9 and is very athletic. Weapon/s: Knives, mostly. She's good in hand to hand combat (if you comment on it, do NOT say "for a girl" or she will be extremely ticked. Just sayin' ;) )) Specialities+Personality: Quiet, Chloe is very confidant, but not in a way that makes her cocky. She has a naturally sweet nature, but tends to come off as cold because, in the Games, she doesn't want to get to personally know someone she might have to kill. Character Name: Adrian Peterson Age: 14 District:6 Gender: Male Weapon/s: Anything he can get his hands on. He isn't picky, can use everything equally. Specialities+Personality: Rather antisocial, he doesn't make allies easily, prefering to do everything himself. Extremely good at problem solving/strategy, fast runner. Description: Dark brown hair, pale skin, tall, but not overly so. He dresses to blend in with whatever his surroundings are. Character Name: Kaden Eiswell District: 3 Gender: Male Age: 12 Description: Small and scrawny, Kaden is anything but athletic. He has messy brown hair in needed of a cut, and he often has specks of dirt or old on his clothes. His eyes are brown, and brimming with intelligence, when they aren't giving a pleading look that is. Weapon/s: He's untrained in any weapon, and as such will attempt to use whatever he can get his hands on, along with whatever he manages to throw together. Specialities+Personality: What he lacks on muscles and athleticism, he easly make up in brains. Well young, he is very good at making things, and has a tendency to fiddle with whatever he can get his hands on. He's also quite shy, not accustomed to talking to others, and is also easily frightened. He also had a tendency to attach to and depend on others he sees as friends or 'sibling' figures, unsure on whether he can ever manage on his own. Character Name: Maya Selene District: 11 Gender: Female Weapon/s: Knives are always good, but Maya likes to play around with blowguns (poison darts and the like) and crossbows are fine as well. Specialities+Personality: Maya is small and very quiet. She is wary of others and has trouble making alliances due to her paranoia. However, she becomes very attached to certain individuals, some of which may not even know how she feels about them. Note: This is only in a platonic sense. Maya likes striking from a distance because she isn't confident in her close combat abilities and knows that she'd become ill at the sight of gore. Name:Aaron Moss District:11 Gender:male Age:17 Description:Tall and lean, Aarons skin is bronzed and he seems unusually healthy for a district kid. His sun lightened hair falls messily over his forehead, just brushing over his eyebrows. His leaf green eyes seem to contradict his constantly smiling face with their ever present cynical glint. Weapon/s:Staff, though capable with a knife. Specialtiess/personality: Aaron is a loner for the most part, though he is not averse to company. He is constantly suspicious and he has a cunning as well as creative mind. He's agile and strong enough to overcome almost anyone in a fight but he woud prefer to outsmart his opponent. He is too heavy for the trees to hold him but is swift as the wind itself. Name: Saphire Raewood District:12 Gender:female Age:15 Description: Saphire's features are rather typical for a girl from district twelve, but for the few specks of blue in her storm gray eyes. Her hair is midnight black, in stark contrast to her snow white skin. She is petite in stature with long, deft fingers, but her arms are coated with a thin layer of muscle. Everything about her screams innocent, from her cupids bow lips to heart shaped face. Her unusual eyes are thickly framed with long black eyelashes and seem huge against her small, delicate face. A single scar marrs her picie like features, aying just above her left eyebrow. Weapons:poison, in the form of dust, darts, berries, or liquid. Specialties/personality: Saphire has two older brothers who work in the mine and one younger brother who is too young to enter the Games. She's friendly with those she knows and shy with anyone else, which tends to make her come off as cold. She is gentle and empathetic when it comes to people in pain or her family. She isnt much of a fighter, but she knows her herbs and the crafts she makes to sell in the hob make her a killer weaver and knot maker Character Name: Ian Morris District: 12 Gender: Male Age: 17 Description: Short, thick hair that looks dark brown, but has a coppery tint in the sun. Copper eyes. Tanned skin. He's tall and broad shouldered, especially for someone from the Seam. Weapon/s: A bow. He can use a knife, but he's not very adept at fighting with it, considering he usually uses it to gut an animal. Specialities+Personality: Protective and fiercely loyal, Ian has practically raised his younger sister since both parents passed, their mother from some sickness when Ian was ten, and more recently, their father's death from a tunnel collapse.

Maya starts, jolting upright from her slightly dazed position. "What? Did the announcer say my name?" she mouths at the boy next to her. "I think he said my name!" Slightly panicking, Maya begins to think that she has been skipped, that she's lost all chance of proving herself to the audience, and to a larger extent, the entire country. She stumbles to her feet from her chair and, nearly tripping over her own feet, makes her way to the stage. What do I do? She thinks to herself. How do I play this? But there's no time left to ponder, she realizes, for she has seated herself in the large chair next to Caesar. She nearly missed the first half of his question while sorting out the jumble of thoughts in her head. Caesar, smiling entirely too largely (just as always), says, "Welcome, Maya, and might I add, you look stunning!" Maya can't tell how she would reply. Her hands fidget with her dress- a deep purple with a ruffled top and skirt cut to her knees. She goes with her gut- though her gut seems to simply be telling her mind to shut up so it can take over. "Thank you, Caesar," she responds politely. Good, she thinks. Nice and easy. Crowd pleaser. Always go with the crowd pleaser. "So, Maya, how are you liking the Capitol thus far? What do you like most? The sights? The sounds?" "Well, my stylist-" and here she points to the tall, skinny woman in the front row of the audience- "She showed me around the gardens and parks of the city, and... I suppose those were my favorite part." "Oh, 14 years old and already a budding botanist, then?" Caesar pauses to give the audience a moment to take in his pun. Laughter ensues. As usual. Maya can't help but smile, too- yes, she could see herself here, in another body, another life entirely. "Yes," she replies, "I like being around plants- I don't have to tell them about how my classes in school went, and they don't tell me to leave them alone and go do something else for a while." Caesar grins. "Are you hopeful that you'll be able to spend some more time with your leafy friends in the arena?" Maya nods vigorously, all fear gone of the strange man. "Yeah, I mean, yes." "So, what's like, hm? Being a contestant in the Hunger Games? Must be beyond your wildest dreams, no?" Caesar continues, the questions coming at Maya like bullets from an automatic. "Well, it's certainly made my life more interesting," Maya replies. The audience collectively chuckles. "But," Maya continues, "I miss my friends from home in District 11. I miss climbing around in the trees during the off season, running through the fields. Heck, I even miss my boss- hope he's paying my family for the overtime I did 2 weeks ago!" Another collective chuckle. "And," Maya continues, "There's someone else, too... but they don't really-" "Oho," Caesar rumbles, "Do you have an unrequited love back home, Maya? Care to tell us-" "I can't right now," she replies, to a sound of disappointment and longing from Caesar and some audience members. "But don't worry, I suppose you'll all find out sooner or later." "Well, I'm sure they all miss you as much as you miss them, dear," Caesar replies, his voice kind, yet sickly sweet. "What was your reaction when you got reaped? Elated? Surprised? A little scared?" "Well, to tell you the truth," but Maya stumbles over the words and has to pause for a few seconds. Caesar waits patiently. "I was frightened out of my mind. But I've decided it's all for the best. I need to be brave, because I've been a coward my whole life. Now's the time to change that." Maya hears a solitary whistle from the audience, then notices that the entire room is silent. "Sh-should I continue?" she asks hesitantly. "I would say yes, my dear, but we're almost out of time, so tell me- how about that training score, eh? I'll let you tell us the number." Maya blushes. "Um-" But there's no going back- everyone's shared, and she has to now as well. "Just a five." Caesar brightens up- it's clear he's been waiting for the proper time to help her out. "Five? Well, Maya, five's actually an amazing score for someone from District 11, am I right folks?" The audience applauds, but Caesar cuts in again. "Care to tell us what you did, Maya, to deserve such a good score for a District 11 tribute?" Maya isn't sure whether Caesar is doing any good- he seems to be bringing District 11's reputation down by boosting her's up- but she responds anyway. "I don't think I can tell you the exact details," she says, "But let's just say I hope you won't be seeing too much of me during this year's games." Caesar opens his mouth to enquire about the enigmatic statement, but at that moment, the buzzer sounds."Oh well, everyone, I guess we'll see exactly what young Maya is talking about during the games! Or," he adds, "Won't we? Best of luck to you, Maya!" Maya returns to her seat before realize that she's been practically shaking the entire time. "Next up is Aaron Moss of District 11!" Caesar says, to another round of polite applause. ((Sorry everyone, I lost the thread and couldn't find it again for some odd reason.))

((sorry, ive been busy noveling. here it is...)) Aaron stood, his handsome features set into a cool mask, and walked towards the stage. Caesar Flickerman smiled, his silver lips glinting oddly in the light, and held out a hand. Aaron shook it politely as Caesar began the interview. “Hello Aaron!” he greeted enthusiastically and Aaron smiled back, if a little more reservedly. Sophisticated and confident, he reminded himself, just act the part. Smile, wave, work the crowd. He lounged in the chair, exuding an air of cocky laziness. “Hello, Caesar.” “so, how are you liking the capitol? It must be such a change from district 11!” Aaron nodded, “oh, it’s beautiful. There’s so much to do, so much to see and the people,” he flashed a smile at the audience, “are so friendly!” he hated the capitol people, the way they shone with brilliant colors, the way they tittered on about such inconsequential things. This didn’t matter now, however. All that mattered was that the crowd was loving him, and the more people that loved him, the more likely he was to survive. Caesar chuckled at that and continued, the questions sliding seamlessly from one to the other, “well, what’s it like, being a contestant in the Hunger Games? Arent you excited?” He was anything but excited, but the capitol people couldn’t know that. He laughed, forcing a little warmth into it, “You could say that, yeah. I’m really honored to be a contestant, and I’ll be even more honored when I win the Games.” the crowd laughed, pleased with his arrogance. His heart thumped loudly in his chest when he thought of being in the arena, playing out the Games. He had no idea if he would win, in fact more likely than not he would die a horrible death. He allowed none of these thoughts to show on his face. “How did you feel when you were reaped then? Were you surprised at all? What about your family, how did they react?” He shrugged nonchalantly, bitterly glad that now, at least, he could tell the truth. Or part of it anyway. “Surprised I guess, I wasn’t expecting to be reaped, It is my last year being able to enter, after all. My family was really proud of me, my dad couldn’t believe it. He went around boasting about it after the reaping. Embarrassing, really.” Caesar laughed at that, “well, I suppose you can’t wait to get back to them then? Speaking of, is there anyone else waiting for you back in 11?” Aaron knew what Caesar was reffering to, probably he had been prompted by the last girl he’d interviewed. Sweetheart indeed, as if he had time to have a girlfriend between working in the orchards and taking care of his little brothers. “I’m afraid not, Caesar, not that I know of anyway.” he grinned mischievously at a group of girls in the crowd, “Still single.” the crowd roared then, and it took Caesar several seconds to calm them down. “We’ve only got a few seconds left now,” Caesar said when the audience had quieted, “so why don’t you tell us about your training score? A seven, very nice! Care to tell us how you wowed the judges?” He shrugged again, knowing he wasn’t supposed to tell. “I’d love to Caesar,” he leaned forward conspiratorially, as if he were going to share the secret. The audience hushed too, listening expectantly, “but I think you’ll just have to wait for the Games.” There was a collective “Awwww!” from the crowd and the buzzer rang. Aaron walked off stage, waving and blowing kisses at the crowd, a sick feeling in his stomach.

((thanks, I'm on some sort of writing high right now, I've been writing for almost ten hours straight)) "Next up to the stage is Saphire Raewood from district twelve!" She started as Caesar Flickerman called her name and stood, smoothing her dres unnecessarily so as to give herself time to think. Okay, now what was it her mentor had said? Be sweet, yes that was it, sweet and innocent and charming. She repeated the word in her head as she walked up to the stage, praying that her gait was graceful and not the stumbling clumsiness that would've replicated her thoughts. "Hello, Saphire!" said Caesar and she muttered a greeting as she sat, crossing her legs demurely. "and may I say, what a beautiful dress!" Saphire blushed and looked at her lap. The dress she was wearing was made of some soft, shimmery material, dark as her hair, and sparkling blue jewels were scattered amongst the midnight fabric, like stars. "my stylist says it matches my eyes." she said and looked up at Caesar through her lashes. "and indeed it does!" he said and began the interview. Nervously she picked at her dress and lifted her head so that the audience could see her face. Normally her dark hair covered her features well enough, but her stylist had bound it up into an intricate updo

charmseer — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 06:01:35 +0000

((oops, wrong button... Stupid no edit button! I'll just continue from here...)) ... That swept every wisp of hair up and out of her face so that her dainty features could be seen by all. She didn't like it, she felt exposed. "What do you think of the Capitol, Saphire?" asked Caesar and Saphire thought for a short minute. She thought that the Capitol was a vain place where everyone was so much more concerned about looks than survival. She thought that the people were greedy, they had everything they could possibly want, yet they continued to take more from the districts. She could say neither of these things to Caesar, she knew, so she said something less important, but just as true. "I think that the food here is wonderful. " she said and when Caesar chuckled appreciatively she went n, her eyes widening at the thought,"really, there's just so much of it here and it's a lot better than the stuff we get in twelve!" Her words made the crowd laugh and Saphire smiled, glad that she had at least done something right. "Tell us what it's like to be in the Hunger Games, are you scared? Hopeful?" She really didn't know how to act, so she simply told the truth, "I'm afraid, so many of the others are bigger and older than me, and I don't want to die." her voice trembled and broke on the last word. There was an awkward silence for a moment or two and then Caesar said, " I'm sure we'll all be rooting for you, Saphire, but can you tell us how you felt when you were reaped?" She swallowed a sob and nodded, "I couldn't believe it had happened to me. My brothers had never been picked, out of all the years they'd been eligible, and I hadnt signed up for any tesserae, we were all sort of hoping I'd never get picked. But I did, and I know they're all rooting for me back home." she smiled then, a watery, sad thing and wondered if the Capitol people felt sorry for her. "I'm sure they are, Saphire, and I know we'll all be rooting for you as well." They were comforting words, or they would have been if they hadn't been completely hollow. No one would be betting on her to win, she knew that much. "now, our time is almost up, I don't suppose you could tell us how you got your training score? A five, huh, not bad for district twelve" She shrugged her shoulders, "yeah, it's all right." she didn't like that he was trashing her district. What was so bad about district twelve, anyway? Just because of the starvation and mine collapses and poverty... "I'm afraid I cant tell you how I got the score, but I have a feeling you'll find out in the Games." the buzzer rang then and she walked slowly off the stage, wishing desperately that she hadn't been picked for the Games. She did not want to die and, almost more than that, she didn't want to kill.

((Oh dear, haha :P)) Ian walked nervously to the podium when his name was called. Great, he thought, I'm last, and the audience by this point must be incredibly bored.... Ceasar greeted him with an overbright "Hello!" and shook his hand. Ian nodded, muttering a greeting in a quiet voice and trying to ignore the many pairs of eyes trained on his face. "How's your stay in the Capitol been, Ian?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. Ian thought a moment, "Cool. I guess. The foods been nice, a bit rich, but better than what I've been used to in 12." He said. Ceasar and the crowd laughed as if he'd made a joke, though Ian was unsure as to what had been funny about it. It was a statement that should give face to how spoiled rotten the Capitol citizens were. Moving on, Ceasar asked, "So what's like? Being a contestant in the Hunger Games? Must be beyond your wildest dreams, no?" "It's pretty wierd, I'll admit. But far from anything I may have dreamed about." He replied coolly. Ceasar seemed a bit taken aback, but charged on without hesitation. "All right then. Well, what was your reaction when you got Reaped? Surprised? Elated? A little scared?" "Scared. Definitely, and surprised. I thought I'd managed to get out of it, y'know? But mostly I was scared. Who else will take care of my sister? Our parents are dead." He replied, a lump forming in his throat as he saw his sister's face in his mind's eye. A small "aw" emanated from the crowd, and Ceasar seemed close to tears. "Well maybe you'll win, eh? And then your sister can live in comfort." He said, a touch of hope in his voice. Ian nodded, smiling slightly at the thought, but knowing that there was absaloutely no way he could win. "Maybe." Ceasar sighed, then continued "But what about that training score? A six. Pretty good for someone from District 12, care to gove us a little insight?" He asked, a little to cheerily. Ian grinned, "Sorry, but no. Private information I'm afraid." His tone was light, not betraying the sting of Ceasar belittling his district more than once. Ceasar smiled, "Ah well. Guess we'll have to see, won't we? There's the buzzer! Thank you, Ian." Ian nodded, then returned to his seat. Flashing one last smile to the cameras, Ceasar said "And there you are, folks! The tributes from this years Hunger Games! Who will win, we wonder? Will it be your favorite, perhaps? We shall soon see. Coming to you from the Capitol, citizens of Panem, I'm Ceasar Flickerman." He gave a small wave, and the red light on the camera cut off, signaling the end of the show.

((oh dear.... I hate going first! I guess...)) Zoe stood on the plate, looking around, taking everything in at once. To her left was a forest of fluffy pink trees, the cornucopia was to her right, behind that was a large blue lake. The sun was shining bright, it was warm, like a summer's day. The clothing she was wearing was brown. Over the top she had a warm winter coat, which was making her sweat because it was so warm. She was wearing pants, and a long sleeve shirt. If she didn' take something off, she was going to overheat, but she didn't dare move until the buzzer went off. Around the cornucopia were many packs, and weapons, more plentiful as it got closer to the large metal structure. Zoe could just barely see a shining sword, right up next to the cornucopia, and she grinned. Her favorite. As soon as the buzzer went off she would head straight for..... RING! As soon as the sound stopped, Zoe was off like a shot, running to the middle of the pile. Hopefully everyone remembered the alliance. ((is that okay? remind me if I forgot anything!))

((Thats what I was planning on, for Chloe. And that's fine Rose!)) A breeze tousled Chloe's hair, which was pulled into a ponytail, as she stood on the plate. Her dark eyes took in her surroundings, and she spotted an ax near the Cornucopia. A smile spread across her face, and she settled into a crouch, ready to run the moment the bell sounded. When it did, and the noise faded into the distant hills, she shot forward, her eyes focused on the ax.

Saphire sprinted for the pink forest the second the buzzer finished its ringing, not bothering with the weapons and packs scattered around the cornucopia. She knew she would never survive the beginning bloodbath, and she saw that several other tributes had the same idea. Let the careers fight for the prizes in the cornucopia, she would wait them out in the woods. ***** Aaron surveyed the items around the cornucopia and found that most of it was useless. He'd learned how to fight with long branches and sturdy sticks, these one handed things were useless to him. He sneered at the weapons and such nhearest to the cornucopia and examined the widespread items that were closer to him. he spotted a small blue pack, small enough to fit on his arm, a water bottle, and a short knife, not unlike the kind he'd used to wittle back home. when the buzzer rang he ran for the backpack first, scooping it up before half the tributes had even made it off their platforms. he snatched the water bottle from the ground and was just about to head for the knife when something sharp whizzed past him, missing his head by a hairs breadth. he looked for his assailent and found a boy wielding a notched bow staring straight at him. another arrow flew his way and Aaron ran, darting towards the only cover that could be found: the forest of pink, cloudlike trees to his back.

Zoe reached the sword, and grabbed it, immediately turning so her back was to the cornucopia. She looked around for her fellow allies. None were near enough to talk to. Zoe noticed the scrawny boy from District 7 reach down for a pack and a throwing knife. Grinning, she silently ran closer. He stood up, right as her heard her coming, but it was too late. Her sword was already swinging towards his head. Before he could do anything but looked shocked, the sword sliced cleanly through his neck, severing it, sending blood everywhere. Some of it landed on Zoe, but she didn't care. She bent down, ever careful for people near her, wiped her blade on his clothing, and grabbed the knife. Long distance weapons were nice to have! Then she stood up, and looked triumphantly outwards, just in case the cameras were focused on her. ~xoxo~ ((oops forgot Adrian)) When the buzzer went off, Adrian sprinted towards a pack, snatching it up. He also grabbed a long knife, just in case. Once he had all of his supplies, he ran off to the forest, heading towards a different place than the girl who had the same idea he had. ((haha, first blood!))

((...Why does everything happen when I'm asleep)) Akira wasted no time. The second the buzzer went she was running up the side of the pile, not caring for lesser scarps. The stuff she wanted would be near the top. She didn't care for attack, the careers had an alliance, as the did every year. Truthfully she didn't even really need to worry about getting supplies. The careers aim was to secure the entire cornucopia, but she wanted to ensure she got some bits, in case fighting over supplies started later. FInally she reached what she had spotted from her plae. A backpack, the top open just another to show the prize within she grabbed it, hoisting it over her shoulder at the sae time snatching the two thing peeking from the top. Spiked knuckle dusters, though they were attached straps that fitted over her hand, making them far more secure. She suspected, all at least hope thepack contained other similar things. It certainly felt too heavy to contain just supplies. Slipping the leathal gloves on she heard a cruching sound behind head, and she whiled around, trying to keep her footing on the pile of supplies in time to see a girl lunging towards her. The girl from 10, al east she thought it was, though she didn't stop to think about it. Swiftly her right hand went up, knocking away the girls which was holding a knife. Then carrying on it's path, along with another hand it rose up thenarced down, clapping over the girls hears, bursting her ear drums. Then the finger curled, digging into the fles behind the ears as the arms yanked forward, bringing the girls head crashing into a knew that was raised waiting. The last move, a quick twist off both the hand, still in control the head, snapping the neck and sending the body spiraling down the slope. 5 seconds that was all it had taken, however Akira did have time to lament on how quickly she;d become a killer. She'd forgotten she was on a pile of supplies, and the last move had set oher of balnace, causing things to slide beneath her. She struggled for balance, not wanting to fall, when felt a hand grab her arm, stopping her descent. She whirled around, spiked fist ready to strike whoever was gripping her, before suddenly stopping. Darius, the boy tfrom sitrict one. He was grinning at her. "That was close. Don;t want to lose any of our own too soon. not before the weaklings are all dealt with." The smile was disarming, but Akira forced herself to ignore it as she nodded a thanks, before surveying the area below her. Besides the body of the girl she had just killed, another headless one lay on the floor. "So two fall to us already." Darius noted. "Let's see if we can't raise that number" He started down the slope as Akira contonued to survey the area. The other careers were already joining in the blood bath, the boy from Two, Cain, having locate a club with nails hammered him chasing after the boy from 10 who was desperately running towards the woods, a bag slung over his back. Altaria, the girl from 4 had claimed a long shafted axe, but instead of attempting to go others, she was eying the girl from 5, who was also after an axe. Chloe, the girl who had scored a 10. The only reason the careers weren't bearing down on her like a pack of wolves was because they wanted her with t them, at least for the moment. Kaden meanwhile had only dared run to the edge of the pile, grabbing a small backpack, before darting back to the woods. Everyon ignored him, probably thinking him as little more than a fly, who could be dealt with at any time. ((Wasn;t sure if Chloe had already agreed to be in the pack, or whether they'll agree to an alliancea after the bloodbath. I tried to make it so eithe is possible))

((Sorry guys... :( )) Chloe grabbed the ax, looking up and meeting the eyes of Altaria. Her expresion grim, she nodded to her ally, then turned to join the rest of the fight. ~~~~~ Ian was slow getting to the edge of the Cornucopia, and cursed himself. He's eyes laid down on a bow, and he longed to go after it, but it was to close to the Careers who could so easily kill him. He settled for a knife, and a small back pack, and booked it towards the woods. ~~~~~ Aimee's slight form wove in and out of the insanity at the Cornucopia, trying to avoid the bigger tributes as she tried to get a back pack she hoped would sustain her at least a little while. She gave up, then, realizing fast that it was useless and she would die trying to go after it, so she too disappeared into the woods. ~~~~~ The boy from 5 cried out as he triped across the pile of weapons, impaling himself on a sword and meeting a very undignified death. ((I wasn't sure whether or not we killed our Cornucopia characters or what... Heh. If not, then someone else can say that stabbed him in the back or something...))

((oh. She's been pretty MIA lately... maybe she just isn't a frequent RPer? Lets just skip her for now....We still have District 3 girl to die! who wants to kill her?)) Zoe smiled wickedly.The boy from 8 was standing halfway between the forest and the cornucopia. He was probably waiting for one of the careers, to be distracted, so he could run in and get some thing. Oh, well! If he was THAT stupid, to think that by WAITing he would get something, he deserved to die! She walked towards him, getting closer, but trying to make it so that it didn't look like she was. He didn't fall for it though, and started to run away. Darn it! Before he could get too far away, Zoe threw the dagger as hard as she could towards him. It lodged in between his shoulder blades, the force of it bringing him down. He didn't rise again. Zoe smiled truimphantly. She hoped that the capitol had seen one of her kills, those would bring her even more sponsors.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

charmseer — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 01:37:59 +0000

(( sigh, my characters arent supposed to kill anyone... however, i'll do district three chick)) She hesitated, her gaze flickering between the forest and the cornucopia. On the one hand was safety on the other was a weapon. A weapon she would need if she were going to stay alive. she moved purposely towards the cornucopia, trusting that her relative unimportance would keep her alive. she trusted too moch. just as she was bending down to scoop up the sword she had been hoping to find she heard the sound of a heavy object flying through the air. automatically she lifted her gaze, just in time to see the ax flying at her head.

((Aw darn. I was totally in the middle of writing a post in which Chloe took down the D3 girl, but my mom kicked me off, and when I went to do it afterward the site was down! *sigh* Mayhap she could've thrown the ax? Hehe :P)) Chloe threw the ax with a practiced ease, and watched as it impaled her victim. Confident the girl had died, she quickly retrieved her ax, turning away before she got sick. Her first kill should've been a good thing, right? Far from it, and Chloe struggled with her outward mask of calm for a moment. Her dark eyes scanned the area around the Cornucopia, and most of the remaining tributes were either Careers or disappearing into the woods. She wiped her ax on the grass, cleaning off the blood, and walked towards the Cornucopia as she waited for the hovercrafts to pick up the bodies.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:44:30 +0000

Zoe looked around, noting that the only tributes remaining were part of the alliance. She walked towards the cornucopia, stepping away from the bodies to let the hovercrafts collect them. As Zoe reached the structure, 5 blasts of the canon rang out, as the hovercrafts decended. Only 5? She was rather disappointed in her fellow careers, but perhaps the other tributes had been smarter this year. Perhaps. Some of her allies hadn't reached the cornucopia yet, so Zoe put her fingers to her lips, and whistled piercingly. She also stopped to pick up two more throwing knives, they were handy to have after all, and one of her allies might decide to try and kill her. THAT would be a stupid idea, but she might as well be prepared.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Saphire heard the cannons and stopped, wondering who had died. five people, five kids who had been alive not five minutes ago were just... gone. it was a chilling thought. she looked around, tryihng to get a grip on her situation. she was inn a woods which probably contained dangers at every turn. other tributs were wandering around as well, wary and ready to kill. she knew they would head farther into the woods, if only to see what lay beyond. if she did the same eventualy she would meet one of them and it would come to a fight. on the other hand if she stayed where she was the careers were likely to come along and cut her down. She looked up and saw a sky of pink, anything over four feet above her head was obscured by branchis and foliage. Smiling deviously she climbed the tree and, spotting the red, raspberry like berries she knew were deadly, concocted a plan. **** Aaron ran, flat out, right through the cannon blasts. he counted as they shot through the air. one. his feet pounded the ground, a relentless tattoo. two, unknown varieties of birds squawked all around him. three, the world around him was a pink blur as he sped past. four, this blast sounded far away. Five, his breath puffed out in smooth, even breaths. he was running out of time, the careers would be after him before long. he clung tight to the pack and the water skin as he ran. he only had to run far enough to find a place to hide or to lay a trap, somewhere where they couldnt gang up on him at least. somewhere that wasnt in the open, a cave maybe. the drumbeat of his feat pounding against the ground lulled the thoughts out of his head and he ran on automatic.

((Aw, whatever, I'll go now. I'm super sorry that I haven't been as active- I'm swamped during the week.)) Maya pants heavily from her location behind a bush that's more thorn than leaf. Everything's a blur for her, her eyes darting around wildly looking for potential threats. She finally relaxes after five minutes of tension, five minutes in which she could have been killed at any time. Her fingers uncurling from around the serrated knife that she's been clutching white knuckled since she picked it up a lifetime ago, she lets her gaze fall to the pack at her feet. Maya had found the pack early on. From the second that she was free to leave her circular platform- and she only now realizes how similar it is to a silver platter that she has beens served on to the Capitol- she had run. Run, run to safety. Run and hide. Maya didn't even stop to pick up the knife and pack. The knife was snatched from another tribute, maybe the boy from ten, she doesn't remember. He had the bluest eyes Maya has ever seen. She can recall his face, the expression when she snatched the knife out of his fumbling grip. But she can't remember his district. The pack is another story entirely. While racing away from the worst of the fighting- the worst thing Maya can remember is the sound of the axe wedging itself in a girl's head- Maya swooped down to grasp at a large pack, clearly meant for a Career. Her fingers finally gripped the pack with some strength as she hoisted it over her shoulder in an attempt to shield herself from attacks from behind. Maya sighs. She crouches down next to the pack and slowly unzips the pack. She gasps in wonder. Inside- well, inside is more than she could ever dream of. A small sleeping bag, a canteen, empty but still useful, at least 3 meals worth of dried meat, and some sort of metal canister with a sick face engraved upon it. She's nearly about to jump up and down in happiness when a twig snaps. She swings around, panic in her eyes. She almost cries out before remembering that whoever is out there might not see her. She peers around silently. It's the boy from before. She smiles in spite of her fear. Good, she thinks. He made it. The boy is fearful. He carries no weapon, no pack, and seems to be bleeding heavily from a wound on his bicep. He won't last long. Maya whispers, "Hey. Don't move." The boy freezes, eyes wide with panic. "Who's there? Are you here to kill me?" "Don't address me directly. Someone might find us." The boy begins to make his way towards the noise. Maya continues, almost inaudible. "I'm sorry. I got your knife." "That was you!?" The boy yells, forgetting Maya's instructions. "Hey! There's one over here!" a harsh, female voice calls to the west of Maya. The boy freezes again. Maya groans. "You. I don't know your name-" "Rhett," the boy interrupts. "Okay, Rhett, you are going to leave NOW. This isn't hide and seek, you can't just come over here and give us both away when you hide. Just get out of here as fast as you can." There is a silence in the air interrupted only by the calls of the unknown female. "Yeah, okay," Rhett says quickly, and Maya can hear him dash off. She sighs. Hopefully the girl won't find me, she thinks, nestling down behind the bush.

((Dusk is confused...who's Rhett? What district is he?And who's shouting? Anyay...)) Akira stayed where she was, surveying teh area around her from her vantage point on the top of the cornucopia. This year the majority of the tributes had decided to run, instead of fight for the goods. This meant there had only been abou 5 victimos, something she could tel Darius wasn't very hapy about, the way he was stalking at the base of the Cornucopia as the cannons went. She watched as the others careers went towards him, as if looking to him for direcions as to what to do, but she herself stayed from her vantage point, trying to locate those running through the pink forest. This years areana looked to be a fun one, from what she could tell. She could hear talking below, and looked to see Darius pointing towards the woods as he talked to Ataria. The girlnodded and ran off, obviously after the runaways. She couldn;t see any sign of Cain. She guessed he was still chasing the boy from 10. "You see anyone up there?" He called, and she replied by shaking her head. "The trees are too thick, though it looks liket hey're spreading in all directions." Darius frowned, and then turned to he other two girls, the district 2 girl Zoe, and the non-career, Chloe. "You two, either go with the others and try and hunt down survivors, or help get all of this. "He jerked a hand twoards all the left over supllies. "Secured. We don;t want any 'rats' coming and trying to steal it. ------- Kaden ran hard, trying his hardest not to stop, but his lung were allready burning. He didn;t even know whether the small bag he had grabbed held anything useful, but he didn;t dare stop yet to find out. Keep running was what his mentor had said, and get as far away as possible. ------ Dale was also running, but instead of straight he was swerving through the trees, trying to loose the pursuer he could hear crashing behind him. Spotting a tallish tree, and calculating he had enough time, he darted up it, trying to dissapear into the leaves before his pursuer caight up. As a cattle herder, he wasn;t used to climbing, and he barely managed it before the large boy who had been chasingin him burst into the area below...and charged straight on. Dale breather a sigh of relief, and began to investigate his pack, realising he was going to have to stay in tehe tree for a while. ((There, two careers runnng around in the woods, and Kaden and Dale as well, though Dale will likely dissaper into the trees for a while.))

Zoe put her hands on her hips, and glared at the boy from 1. How DARE he order her around! She cleared her throat. "I DON'T think so. I'm not following your orders. We are ALLIES. Do you even know what that means?" She smirked at him, and walked towards the forest. "I'm going to go chase some careers..." She called over her shoulder. "Feel free to order everyone else around." Zoe made a pledge to herself that SHE would be the one to kill Darius. He DEFINITELY deserved it, and it would be fun to see his face. ((Haha, it's fine.))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Duskgem — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:29:08 +0000

Darius just held up a hand to her. "Of course, we are allies. I apologise. I merely thought it would be a good idea to get moving, and as no one had any odeas on what to do, I thought I'd 'suggest ' them. I was a bit wound up from the fight also. I won;t order you again, I am sorry." He esplained even as the other gril walked away. From where she was crouching Akira watched carefully. Shhe'd witnessed it seeral times, having trained alongside teh boy for the majority of her life. He preferred words to weapons, and had always been good at convincing others to do wha he'd wanted. She was actually quite surprised he'd slipped and ended up ordering instead. Maybe he was stressed by this as much as some of the others.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:03:10 +0000

((Awesome! And Zoe is VERy happy to hear that!)) Zoe walked into the fluffy pink forest, treading softly so that she couldn't be heard. She had picked up a shield before she left the cornucopia, so she listened hard for the whistling sound of an arrow or a blow dart, it would be horrible if she died so quickly. Zoe stopped, hearing movement. Someone was running, and it sounded like it was in her direction. She smiled, this would be easy. Zoe stepped behind a tree, hidden from view, and laid her sword on the ground, so that the tribute would trip over it. She brought her shield up to hide her face, and gripped her dagger tightly.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Duskgem — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:23:55 +0000

Run. Keep running. Don't stop. The words kept runnning through Kaden's head, though he wasn;t even sure if he was running in a straight line anymore. He was growing tired. He would have to stop soon. In fact it was only due to adrenaline and fear he had been able to keep it up for so long. The rush he felt in his head, the need to get away, it was the only thing taht kept him going. At least until he tripped over something. He let out a cry as he flew forward, hitting the ground. Pain lanced through hs body, in particularly one of his legs, and immeadiatly he felt tears well up, though he forced them down. He couldn;t afford to be weak, not here. He had to be strong, had to survive... His smal rucksack had fallen t the floor next to him, it's pitiful contents of rations, a small brown bottle and tiny canteen spewing out of it. Slowly he pushed hiself to his knees and went to gather them, at the same time looking aound to see what he had fallen over... As his eyes met the sword he froze. A sword was astrong, useful weapon in something like this. He doubted anyone would leave it behind, nor would the gamemakers just dump one on the fllor . That sounde like something they'd come up with for a quarter quell - having random weapons strewn around. But still there was no denying the sword on the ground, despite it having no reason to be there...unless t had been put there intentionally. The thought chilled him, and his mind yelled at him o move before whoever had left the sword came back or appeared, but he found himself frozen with fear.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:31:48 +0000

They were coming. That was all Zoe could think. She listened to the heavy footfalls, it was probably a boy. He was very tired by now. This would be easy. As soon as the boy landed on the ground, Zoe pounced. She put her knife to his neck, and said conversationally "You know, not watching where you are going is going to get you killed!" ((sorry, short post. you should make him turn around!))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Duskgem — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:38:28 +0000

(( He did turn arund. He was looking at the sword...unless you eant the other way again)) If Kaden wasn;t already frozen, he would be now. Feeling the kinfe on his neck he found himself shaking. A trap, it had been a trap afterall. There he had been, talking about being able to help his family on the interview, and now he was going to die on the first day... As his soon to be kille spoke, he slowly looked around trying to glance at her face. He knew it was a girl at least, her voice told him that much. But he couldn;t place her face, fear clouding his normally good memory. A career possibly... "..." He opened his mouth trying to speak, but the only thing that came out of the boys mouth was a stifled sob as his eyes closed, not wanting to think abou twhat was about to happen.

alannathelioness — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:07:35 +0000

((I decided that Zoe hadn't seen Kaden at all at the capitol, this is the first time.)) Zoe smiled, seeing the fear in his face, then stopped. What? It couldn't be. Sam was home, safe. Wasn't he? Could the capitol have taken him? NO. It can...they didn't...But.... WHY??? She pulled the knife away from his throat a little. She opened her mouth to ask him who he was, but no sound came out. She tried again, and this time it was a bit gutteral, lower than normal. "Who....who are you? What are you doing here? TELL me!!!" She demanded. She had to know it wasn't her brother. She had to.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Duskgem — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:33:36 +0000

((So she wasn;t paying attention at interviews then? :p. But kay)) It was going to come. Anytime soon he would feel the knife across his throat, and that would be the end. Except it didn;t come. Slowly opening his eyes he watched his captor trying to form a sentence. Confusuon showed on his face, though it was quickly replaced by fear as she finally spoke in a low tone. "..K..Kaden. " He almost yelped in fright. Why did she want his name? Was she one of those to liked to keep a record of those she killed? And why did she need to ask why he was there> "...I..I;m the tribute...from 3..."He managed to stutter out, scared that if he didn;t his end would be swift. Though it probably would be either way. ((Sorry it's short. If I don;t reply I;ve fallen asleep :p))

((wow, this got busy fast! Hey Dusk, was kinda hoping Saphire could ally with Kaden, later maybe?)) Saphire watched, keeping quiet in her hideout and waited for some poor soul to come along. She had no weapons, she had no provisions. If she didn't do something about that soon, she was going to be in trouble. She kept her eye on the small pile of berries and edible looking herbs she had compiled and hoped there was someone stupid enough to steal her findings. ***** Aaron stopped when the trees ended. Before him were two choices: on one side there was a mountain, singular, in which it was inexplicably snowing, on the other there were rolling hills with dark brown grass covering them. He was hot from all the running and in any case the hills were far too open. He thought of finding a cave that he could stay in until the Capitol forced him out and headed for the mountain, walking slowly. ***** Eli was not the brightest boy. As a career he had trained for the games, and volunteered, but he was arrogant and decided against joining the career pack. When the buzzer sounded he had leaped for the nearest weapon, a wicked looking knife, and moved for the forest. He hadn't walked far before he realized he would need some food. Okay, he thought, there's gotta be something to eat in here. He looked around for some apples or something and spotted a small pile of delicious looking berries and such and grinned. Whoever had left these provisions was about to miss out. He shoveled the berries into his mouth and tucked the rest into s pocket for later. Only a minute or so later his stomach began to feel queasy. He hadn't moved from his spot on the ground and by the time he'd realized what was happening, it was too late. Before his eyes closed, permanently, he saw a small girl jump from the sky to the ground beside him. His last thought was that he shouldn't have eaten the berries. (( first non career pack tribute to kill! She's gonna have some serious guilt issues later though...))

((uh, no, of course not! why would she do that?:D)) Zoe sighed in relief. This boy wasn't Sam, Sam was safe. This boy was just a tribute. She didn't need to care about him. But.... Zoe couldn't bring herself to kill the boy. he looked too much like her brother. Knowing she would regret this later, she opened her mouth and spoke again. "You...don't have allies, right? You can.."Did she really...."Ally with me, with the Careers. For now. Alright?" But before he thought she was weak, or heaven forbid the capitol thought she was weak, she put her face close to the boy's and growled "But if you think you can try to kill me when I'm not looking, think again. I'm only doing this because..." Zoe's voice broke. "Because you look like my little brother. That's all." Zoe thrust out a hand to help the boy up. ((sorry about the wait, see you in the morning!))

((...Everybody wants to ally with Kaden...Yeah, if things go that way sure. he's going to accept ZOe now, if only because he's scared what will happen otherwise. Oh and guys note, Darius isn;t actally a krk\things he's brilliant...wel he doesn;t show it. Just a slip...)) For a minute Kaden just stared wide eyes at the girl. Had he really just said what he thought she had? Or was fear making his mind go crazyy? "I...I.."He began to stutter again, when she threatened him about not trying to kill her, causing him to shrink back in fright. But as he watched the offered hand, his thoughts ckeared slightly. The girl was offering to be his ally, along with the other careers...that would help him survive, at least for a while when he was no longer any use..but still it was beter then nothing. To his surprise his eyes began to water lightly...the idea that anyone, even a career would show mercy, especially in this place surprised the young boy. "I..I;m no good at anything...besides building things..I mighn't be of much use..."He stuttered, but at the same time taking the offered hand. He knew he shouldn't put her off, but a the same time, he didn't want her dissapointed if she was looking for a helpful ally. ---------- Darius was moving supplies along with the district 5 gril, remaining quiet after he appeared to upset her and the girl from 2, though Akira was sure that by tnight he would be trying to get back in their good books with his charming smile, and guile words. She had yet to be told by anyone to move from the top of the cronucopia, so she remained where she was. It wasn't that she was avoiding work, but she felt more comfertable able to see potential enemies before they arrived. Darius at least seemed to agree, leaving her to it as if she was an unspoken sentry. Suddenly she saw movement in the trees heading towards them, and she curled her hands, stadning up slightly in prepareation as she watched. Only for cain to appear, dragging his fet and an iritated look n his face. She guessed his quarry had sliped his grasp then. Setlling back down as she watched Cain talk to Darius, who just patted him on the shoulder, robably saying something like 'Don't worry', before the larger boy se to work also helping with organising the supplies.

Zoe almost laughed as she heard the boy stutter in fear. Part of her rejoiced in the sound, but the other part, the soft part, felt bad that she had made the boy so scared. STOP it! she told herself. She needed to be strong, she needed to heartless, she needed to win. THAT was what was important here. Zoe glanced down at the boy again, who had just taken his hand. He looks so much like Sam! her soft side whispered. And he did. He was the spitting image of her brother Sam, the whole reason she had trained to be a career. She needed to learn how to make him safe. Zoe smiled softly when the boy protested about not being able to do anything. It was okay. In her heart of hearts, Zoe knew that this boy had to die if she wanted to win, but not yet. It just wasn't fair. So many people were still alive, and if she left him on his own, he would be killed quickly. He didn't deserve that, not yet. "How old are you?" Zoe asked, as she pondered how to keep him safe. She needed to bring him with her, introduce him into the Career pack. If he took her shield, he wouldn't be hit by any flying things, and she could explain. Until the split, she would protect him. Kaden wasn't dying on her watch!

((Sorry. Half forgot, half was waiting to see if others, like Nerrdy girl would post, though I believe Tuffy is away. )) Kaden looked surprised when she asked his age, and he wondered if she'd bothered to pay attention to anything while they were in the capitol. Then again she probably hadn;t cared about her fellow tributes except the other careers. She hadn;t needed to pay attention and figure out who to be careful of, she was the one everyone had to watch along with the other careers. The ones she said she would take him two. He tried to surpress a small shiver of fear. "twe...twelve" He answered, wishing he could stop stuttering. She was being nice to him, and normally he would have adored her in an instant, but with what was going on, his surroundings, who she was...he couldn;t help but wonder if it was some sort of a trap or dream, him taking mercy on her. ----- Ataria ran through the woods, her axes strapped to her back with a form of harness she had found alongside it. Most of the trubutes had already scattered, but she refused to go back wile some of the other careers already had a kill. If they thought her as weak and useless, they would get rid of her. So she kept searching, trying to find signs such as those of fires, of footprints which would lead her to careless trubute, an easy kill. ((Yeah Aaria;s around if anyone wants to do something, or die. I probably don;t want her killed yet, but we'll see. I;d like the career pack to stay around for a bit.))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:06:59 +0000

Zoe blinked when the boy managed to stutter out that he was twelve. This was veeeery strange. Kaden and Sam looked almost exactly the same, and they were the same age. Maybe the capitol HAD stolen Sam, and brainwashed him? NO. The capitol wouldn't do that. She had done nothing wrong. It was too early in the game for anything like that. RIGHT? She had to bring him back with her. The other careers wouldn't fight her, she was too strong, but they might not like that they were bringing a weakling into the pack. Hmph. She could tell them that he could make things, like traps and stuff! He was from 3, they did stuff like that.... "Alright. Come on. Lets go back to the pack. Take this..." Zoe held out her shield for the boy to take. "Be careful. And if the careers ask, I found you, you begged for mercy, and offered to make stuff for us, because you are from 3. DO NOT tell them I felt pity for you, because you look like my brother, alright? And this is just until the split. You can make your own way from there."

Saphire leapt from the tree, staring at the dead boy. She had killed someone. On purpose. In cold blood. Now I'm a killer, she thought and almost hoped she wouldn't make it out of the Games, just so she wouldn't have to live with herself. Almost. She snatched up the rest of the berries, maybe they would be useful later, grabbed the boys knife, and walked in what she hoped was the opposite direction as the cornucopia. The cannon blast shot through the air and knew that he was gone, there was no saving him. She plastered a self satisfied smile on her face, surely the cameras would be trained on her now. She walked, too tired to run, through the forest hoping for some sign of water. The menacing chatter of unknown animals followed her all the way. ***** Aaron settled himself in the first cave he could find. No bears, as far as he could tell, and no other tributes. Not bad. Finally, he rummaged through his pack and found a few helpful supplies. Dried fruit, a flint, a thin silver whistle, what seemed to be a tiny light. He had no idea what use the whistle and the light could be, but the food was good and in a cave a fire would be safe. He groaned when he figured out that fire meant wood and wood meant heading back to the forest. Walking. He didn't want to walk, his legs were killing him. Besides, he could live for one night without a fire, right? He took a few dried pieces of fruit and downed a swig of water and settled down. He figured he'd sleep while he had the chance and in seconds he was snoring.

((Sorry guys.)) ((I'll post for Ian and Aimee, since I don't know what to write for Chloe at the moment.)) Ian had slowed to a walk, holding the backpack on his shoulder and watching warily for any signs of other tributes. It was odd so few had died at the Cornucopia, compared to earlier years, and part of him wondered what it meant. It was less likely he would survive, most likely. He kept adjusting the grip on his knife as he walked, a nervous habit he had if he was holding something, and hoped the time didn't come for him to kill somebody. At least not yet. ~~~~~ Aimee ran through the woods, frantically looking for a place to hide after finding she could get little purchase on the bark of the trees. To late, she heard footsteps, and found herself in the path of a Career tribute (Ataria). Her blue eyes went wide, and she turned and started running away as fast as she could.

((Tuffy - Is Aimee disposable? *too lazy to check*. ANd sorry for lateness...trying to catch up on word count...badly. Also wasn;t sure whether you wanted to writ them arriving at the pack or me. So I'll let you do it :p)) Kaden looked a bit surprised as the girl gave him the shield, but slowly he nodded and took it. It felt heavy and bulkiy, but he guessed it was much better than walking around defenceless. He nodded again as she told him not to state the real reasons for the alliance, however he was still too unsure to speak. As she mentioned he would be on his own eventually he felt coldness run through him. Of course he already knew that, but hearing it from her mouth it made the truth seem even more real. "..I ..Undersatnd" He managed to stutter before looking away. "..Thank...thank you." The words slipped from his mouth before he could stop them. He had no idea how she would recieve them, but he really was grateful towards her. ------------ Ataria let out a small growl. She still had yet to find someone, mainly due to the noise she was making, but she couldn;t think of anyway to search. People had yet to become careless with things like fires, and she was beginning to think she woud have to return. At that moment a gril stumbled into a path. For a second she just blinked, not sure she was actually having such lukck. However as the girl seemed to realised what she had just gotten herself into and began to run away a cold calculated grin formed of Atria's face before she drew her axe from her back, and gave chase.

Zoe nodded at the boy. She was quite surprised that he had actually said thank you, but maybe they were more open with things like that in his district. In 2 you weren't supposed to show your feelings. At least in her family. "Alright, lets go. And remember, you're under my protection right now, if they try to kill you, they have to deal with ME." She walked through the forest, after making sure that the boy followed her. She walked to the edge of the forest, then stopped. "Get behind me." Zoe walked towards the group of careers, wondering how everyone was going to react. This was different for her. Normally she made careful plans before doing anything, but now she was following instincts. Her insticts were normally pretty good, maybe there was a reason that she had decided to take this one under her wing.

KAden followed the other girl slowly, keeping a tight grip on his new shield. Suddenly paranid thoughts began to swarm his head. He knew she wasnt leading him into at rap, she could have easily killed him already without needing to go through that, but still the idea of being brought to the careers, the 'pack' he'd always been afraid of watching the previous years, the onese known for being cruel and meerciless with their kills, teaming up together to bring down th weak. Multiple scenarios began to run in his head. Would they accept him or try to kill him? Would Zoe really back him up like sh said, or if the vote was in the majority of getting rid of him would she just kill him. Did they even vote or might he be subject to a weapon to the head the second one saw him. The thoughts all scared him, and instinctively he found himself wanting to take Zoe's hand, for reassurance, and comfort, but he rembered her words. She'd probably just shrug him off if he tried...still he stuck close to her, pratically glued to the side, as finally they entered the clearing. ------- Akira had remained on lookout, as the other three continued shifting stuff. She'd moved from the pile to standing on the actual Cornucopia so they could move everything however they saw fit. She never really cared about organising things, but she guessed it was the only thing to do. Suddenly she saw movement at the edge of the forest and tense. "Company" It was only one word, but both Cain and Darius looked in the same direction she was as two figure began to emerge...revealing the district 2 girl, and..someone else. Quickly she tried to place him, running through the list she'd compiled in her head. He was from district 3, but why was he heare, and not dead "Zoe." Darius had a smile on his ace as he stepped forward. "I;m glad you're back okay. Good hunting?" As he asked his eyes fell to the boy, who was pratically shivering in fear as calculated eyes roamed over him, taking everything in. "Who's your new friend?" Whatever Darius thought he kept hidden, though Akira could see Cain scowling as he watched the pair, and she herself aprehension at the newcomer. He was just a kid, as much as she hated killing in the end his place was in a body bag, or whatever they did to the dead tributes once the hovercrafts claimed he bodies. He shouldn;t be here, in the careers domain.

Kaden came closer and closer as they got closer to the cornucopia. Zoe really wanted to reach out and squeeze his hand, as reasurance, but she didn't know how he would react. Or the capitol. The capitol probably would like it... Inwardly, Zoe tossed her head. The capitol! She wasn't sure how she felt about it right now. How could they send a young boy like Kaden into a blood bath, she would never know Zoe half smiled, half snarled at the other careers. SHE decided if Kaden joined the pack. And he did. The other careers could just deal with it. "Kaden," Zoe said, indicating the terrified boy beside her "Is going to join the pack. Until the split. He can build things. Anyone got any questions?" She adjusted her grip on her sword, drawing everyone's attention to it. She was ready to fight, if that's what they wanted. Zoe scanned the faces of the careers, gaging reactions. She wanted to have warning if someone tried to attack him. She didn't think anyone would, it would be foolhardy, but she hadn't trained this long not to be careful. She needed to think of everything.

((I'm sorry guys!! My life = completely insane at the moment : |)) With careful eyes, Chloe assessed the boy, or what she could see of him, who stood behind Zoe. He's so young... She thought, feeling a pang of sympathy. Her gaze turned to the other Careers as she waited to see what would happen. She would help protect the boy if it came to it... ~~~~ ((*winces* Yes, Dusk, Aimee is disposable...)) Aimee sprinted as fast as her small frame would allow, her heart thudding loudly in her ears. She risked a glance over her shoulder, and saw the tribute giving chase. She would never outrun her.... ~~~~ Ian had decided he was far enough into the woods for it to be safe to slow down. He wasn't sure if the trees, bright pink as they were, were safe to climb, much less sit in so he kept his gaze trained downward as he looked for a hiding spot. Nerves on edge, he jumped anytime a branch broke beneath the weight of an animal, or a bird cried out. He took a breath to calm himself, knowing the cameras might be trained on his face, and he didn't want his sister to know how truly terrified he currently was...

I just hope we can continue this throughout the year! ....anyone else agree? )) Zoe glared at all of the careers, just daring them to challenge her. She noticed one of the pack.... Chloe, wasn't it, had already softened towards the boy. Good. If it came to a fight (she didn't think it would, none of the careers were stupid!) she could possibly count of the girl. She also mentally tagged Chloe as someone she could trust just a bit more than the other careers, she seemed a bit nicer. No one else seemed to be saying anything, so she walked forwards, watching everyone in her peripheral vision, waiting for movement. She wanted to stand next to the cornucopia, have it at her back. Kaden wasn't exactly a good shield.

((hm... must move the plot along somehow... intervention from gamekeepers?)) Saphire froze abruptly. the sky had just begun to darken and the forest around her suddenly seemed more menacing than ever before. she had been circling the woods, a place she now considered her realm, looking for unwelcome tributes or possible allies. she found neither, which was either a relief or a dissapoinment, she couldnt tell. she held her only weapon tight in her hand and her astonishing blue eyes searched the brush around her for foes. the reason for her consternation was slight and, she thought, all the more dangerous for it. she had heard a rustle, an unusually loud movement of leaves and twigs. she would have thought nothing of it in other circumstances, but upon pausing to listen for more of these noises she found another oddity: the forest around her had grown eerily quiet. to her it sounded more like the calm before a particularly damaging storm than anything else, and all her senses immediately went on alert. the next few minutes were a stalemate between her and whatever she was sure was out there. she adjusted her grip on the weapon and a nervous sweat broke out on her brow. a single chattering sound, like that of a squirrel or other small rodent broke the silence and she began to calm herself down. it was then that the storm broke. the chattering sounded ll around her, from the trees above, the branches at eye level, the bushes at her feet. she became aware of several presences staring at her, beedy eyes drilling into her skull and causing her entire body to feel cold as ice. at once she knew that she would not be able to fight, that his was a battle she would not win. at the same time, she wasnt sure she would be able to flee from them either. whatever kind of creature these were she was certain that they were unlike anything she had ever seen or heard of. the creatures of the Games always were. as the things around her, hidden in darkness and leaves, surrounded her with their noise she tensed, ready to run or swing away with her knife and take as many of them with her as possible. with her weapon held steadily in front of her she turned in a slow circle and glared at the world around her. the cameras were sure to be trained on her now, and she accused all of Panem with her gaze. If she was going to die, she would go defiantly, while assaulting as many people's conscience as she could.

Ian looked up at the forests sudden silence. Uh-oh... He kept moving, but when he heard an ominous rustle in the bushes, he froze. Looking around, he caught sight of someone else through the branches of a tree. Though cautious, coming closer was probably suicide, he took a step closer to see who it was..... His district partner. She was looking around her, and he caught a look of defiance in her eyes. And then he saw the glint of other eyes. Eyes that weren't human, and certainly not normal animals. Mutts. He cursed inwardly, then whispered "Saphire!" He held his knife ready, preparing himself to run at the slightest provacation.

Saphire's head snapped around at the sound of her name, her heart beating ever faster. She recognized the boy, he was the other tribute from her district. sh had a vague recollection of seeing him at school and around the hob but he had always kept to himself. now he was looking all around at the mutts that hid in the shadows. She groaned internally. If she fought back now it wasnt just her life that was in danger, if she tried to kill these creatures the boy, Ian she thought his name was, would die with her. she had a seconds hesitation, then a loud screech made up her mind for her. Saphire spared a glance in the direction of the noise and at the sight of the creature, huge wings spread wide and sharp teeth bared, she stumbled toward Ian and said, "Run." in a voice that was supposed to be a yell but came out as more of a hoarse whisper. She took off swinging her blade in front of her as the screeching increased and the gray furred mutts leapt at her. it was all she could do to keep going while the creatures clawed at her skin drawing long red lines down her arms and back. Saphire heard Ian running next to her and hoped he could keep up. maybe if they could escape the hoarde of murderous creatures... but she didnt have time. the only thing she could think of was her feet pounding against the ground, her arm swinging away at the mutts. if she let her mind wander she might falter, and if she faltered now she had no chance of survival. better to keep her mind on the task at hand, else she might start to think about the red hot points of pain breaking out all over her body.

Ian ran, feeling the claws dig deep gouges into his arms, his legs, his face, everywhere. Blood ran down his skin and got into his eyes. He stayed slightly behind Saphire, ready to help her up if she fell. "Head, toward the hills," He gasped out, hoping that getting out of the woods would provide protection from this furry storm of mutts. ((Lol, it's okay. Mine is too.))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

She tried to indicate that she heard him but the only thing she could do was nod. If she spoke she was afraid she would loose the rhythm, the pattern she had gotten into. If she did that she might fall, trip over some fallen log or something. If she fell she would die. Suddenly, with a clarity that she had previously been lacking, Saphire saw that she did not want to die. Before she had resigned herself to the fact that there was no way she could possibly win. There were 24 of them after all and she was no where near the smartest, the strongest, or the fastest. Now with the threat of death breathing down her neck, literally, she knew. Knew, that no matter what it took, she would survive. She would be the one to make it back home. Her brothers wouldn't have to work in the mines, they would never have to worry about going hungry. She felt guilty at once. Winning meant killing and despite what she had all ready done, Saphire wasn't a killer. She spared a thought for the boy running behind her. If she won than he would have to die. no, she thought, i won't be the one to kill him. She didn't think she could bare going home to that, to the accusing stares. He had a family too, she wouldn't be able to face them if she were the one to end him. No, she would wait for someone else to do it. Maybe they could be partners for a little while, until the career pack dissolved anyway. She would ask, once they made it to the hills. They had to survive first, though, she reminded herself as, once more, razor sharp teeth dug into her arm. She screamed, shrill and loud, and twisted to hack at the thing. It hissed at her and dropped to the ground. She cradled her arm to her stomach and kept running, always running. As the blood dripped steadily from her wound she wondered if the Capitol were watching her, if they were enjoying her pain. Once she thought it she was certain they were. After all, what could be more interesting than watching two kids being attacked by a pack of ravenous mutts? She grit her teeth and refused to utter another sound. They would receive no more entertainment from her pain, she tried to harden herself against the pain. No, she still felt it, everywhere. Her entire body seared with pain there was no pretending it didn't exist so, unable to lie to herself, she settled for lying to everyone else. She let her arm resume it's motion at her side and pushed back the tears that had accumulated in her eyes. They could not see her pain, her weakness, she would not allow them that. As she came to this decision of defiance the trees began to thin and then stopped altogether. The screeching of the mutts devolved into hisses of anger and frustration. When she came to a rough dirt path that had split in two she stopped and turned. The creatures were perched on the closest branches, glaring at her with shining black eyes. She had to grin, if only because she had escaped the ferocious things, but resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at them. Turning, Saphire saw that on one side of the path lay a mountain and snow. Faint footprints marred the smooth white surface and she decided that Ian was right; the hills were their best bet. She had seen both the mountains and the dark, rolling expanse of hills from the forest when she had climbed the trees. Neither looked welcoming, but if someone had all ready claimed the mountain... She turned to Ian and held out a hand. "Together, for now?" she asked and her body tensed, ready to sprint away if he said no, despite her fatigue.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:00:12 +0000

They were out. Finally! Ian bent over, trying to catch his breath after the terrified sprint through the forest. Thinking better of it, however, he abruptly straightened. Saphire was his district partner, yes, but that didn't necessarily mean she was adverse to slipping a knife between his ribs. "Together, for now? She asked him, and held out a hand. Ian analyzed her a moment, then shook her hand with a nod. "For now," He echoed, having no intention of killing her, and knowing that at some point they'd have to split up.

((better, thanks for the tech advice Rose, finally got verified!)) Saphire smiled gratefully and relaxed her body. Finally, she could depend on someone other than herself. And she knew she could depend on Ian, if only because they were both Seam kids. "do you have any food? Or water?" she asked him. Her mouth was so dry, she had found no water in the forest and she knew she wouldn't survive long without it. Saphire hoped he had acquired some sort of meat; she had been munching on edible bark and bright green berries that she recognized from training right before the Games. Saphire looked toward the dark expanse of grass covered hills and began walking. She figured the farther they were from whoever hid in the mountain and the careers, the better. ***** Aaron sat in his cave, knowing that he would have to leave the safety of its shelter soon. He was hungry, the dried meat wouldn't last forever and he had only a few pieces of fruit left. He had managed to melt snow by shoving it into his water bottle and shaking it for a few minutes, but he knew that he couldn't subsist on icy water alone. He held the knife in his left hand staring at the reflection he saw in it's shiny surface. He was safe in his cave, probably on the entire mountain, but his muscles were taut and his expression looked as if it had been carved of stone. His heavy brows hung low over concentrated eyes and his mouth was a thin slash across his face. He swept a hand through his hair, his first movement in too long, and stood from his crouch. Aaron headed for the mouth of the cave and wondered if he could find some sort of game in the desolate mountain. He was no hunter, had never killed anything in his entire life, how was he going to find and murder an animal. He knew how it went, the basics of how to sneak up on something, stab it in the right place, skin it. It was one of the few things he had spoken to his grandmother about, one of the things she, herself, had found handy in her own Games. He sighed and gripped his weapon tightly until his knuckles were white. He had to win, had to make it back. His mom was depending on him. Aarons eyes hardened and he set his jaw. He walked purposely into the snow and trudged up the mountain. He didn't care what he had to do, what he had to kill. He would win, for her. A pang shot through his gut when he thought of murdering someone, but he ignored it. Killing was necessary, just as survival was necessary. He gulped down his fears and tried to think of something, anything else. The careers. Where were the careers? He looked around, suddenly paranoid, and wondered when they would start their slaughter. The sun was sinking low in the horizon, surely they would begin soon. He quickened his steps; it would not be good to get caught out in the open by a career. Just as he thought this a shadow flickered on the edge of his vision. Aaron froze and looked sideways with only his eyes. He could see only rock and rubble, but he wasn't deceived. Something was their, he knew it. A tribute? Was somebody following him? He turned slowly and took a single step forward, the crunch of snow beneath his boots abnormally loud. Immediately, a figure darted out from an unseen crack in the rock face. The shadow hurtled toward Jim, giving Aaron no chance to see his opponent. It was all he could do to throw himself to the ground before whatever it was slammed into him. His left hand held tight to the dagger while his right fingered his token, a wolf carved out of dark wood. He lay in the snow for only a moment, gathering his strength, before standing to face his assailant.

With a nod, Ian reached behind him and pulled the water bottle from his pack. He shook the container slightly as he handed it to her, a frown on his face. "We'll have to find a water source soon. And food." He stated, his brow creased with slight worry as he looked out across the expanse of grass and hills. They could always count on rabbits, at least. There had to be a way to set up some sort of snare, even without most of the necessary supplies. Like rope. If only he had a bow...

Lucian, realizing that he had been seen, ran out and knocked over the other boy, he was thinking about trying to finish him off, but decided not too, and let the other stand back up. He held his dagger out, watching for any sudden movement. The boy he had attacked was Aaron, the boy from 11. He watched him warily, sizing up his options. He could try to kill the boy now, and maybe die himself, or he could make a temporary ally.... It wouldn't hurt to ask. Keeping his dagger out infront of him, he said "I'm Lucian. Would you...do you want to be allies? For now?"

Aaron stared at the boy, remaining crouched and wary. Allies, he thought, and the word made him narrow his eyes. More than likely the kid would stab him in the back the first chance he got. He was about to refuse, the words were on the tip of his tongue, when he reconsidered. Maybe this (Adrian?) could fight. Against the careers another person with a weapon could come in handy. Besides, Aaron thought, it'd be better to keep this one where I can see him. He knows where I'm hiding now, it wouldn't be hard to find the cave. Sighing, knowing that these were mostly just excuses, anything to keep from killing the kid later on ( Adrian Couldn't have been more than, what, 13? 14?) he nodded, a sharp, jerky motion. In any case, refusal would have been the worse option. More than likely the kid would've attacked him again and he would've had to seriously injure if not flat out murder, him.

((We'll just go with adrian. And I don't know where dusk is... i'll have to check the absences thread again, maybe she posted earlier.)) Adrian wanted to sigh with relief, but didn't. He wasn't exactly ready to kill someone yet, but he knew this would get him killed if he wasn't careful. The Hunger Games really were a dog eat dog world. "I... I have a flask of water...but I think we're going to have to hunt for our food..." Adrian said haltingly. Just for now, he wanted to pretend that this other buy was his friend, that they wouldn't try to kill eachother, that this partnership was going great. He didn't want to think that this boy was going to kill him later. What was his name, anyway? He couldn't just keep calling him "this boy"! "What's your name?" Adrian asked.

charmseer — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 00:19:31 +0000

((aaaaah! -whimper- I swear I posted an epic response... I hate it when things go wrong like this! Here goes, again...)) "Aaron," he said briskly and frowned. Great. Sure, they had plenty of water, but that would do them no good if they starved to death. He gestured for the boy to follow and continued along the path he had been following. There was silence, slightly awkward and filled with tension, for a few minutes until Aaron pointed and said, " tracks." the large, paw shaped indentations in the snow were as obvious as they could be. As he looked at the path they made a shiver ran the length of his body. Whatever had made these prints was big, it could probably eat the both of them for a snack. Aaron didn't want to fight anything that big, but it was the only source of food he had seen so far. Darkness was settling around the arena like a shroud and he was getting more paranoid by the minute. The sooner he and Adrian made it back to the cave, preferably with dinner, the better. Kowing tis, he squared his shoulders and began to follow the tracks. He hoped Adrian could fight. He had a feeling the skill would come in handy very soon, if not in the hunt then when the careers finally caught up to them. He wanted the kid to be useful, if only so that he could postpone the boys murder. ***** Saphire accepted the water gratefully and gulped greedily at the liquid. When she lifted it from her mouth she was disappointed to see that nearly a quarter of the water was gone. They would have to ration it better, at least until they found a spring or something. She thanked Ian and, while they were stopped, checked her wounds. Long red furrows marked her arms and most of her jacket was in shreds. Sighing, she took off the useless article and began cutting strips of cloth from it. She was glad, for once, that the jacket was made of this heavy material, it made for better bandages. She tied several strips around the scratches that bled more seriously and turned to Ian. He, too, was bleeding from several scratches and she couldn't very well let him bleed to death. Saphire hesitated, unsure if he would accept her help, but forced herself to speak. "come here," she said and the words came out more harshly than she had intended, "we need to stop the bleeding. I wish I had some salve... For infections, you know..."

Adrian's eyes widened as he looked at the tracks. They were huge, did Aaron think that they could fight this thing and win? That would be suicide! Then he had to laugh, in his mind. This whole game was suicide. There was no chance he was going to get out alive, he was no where near the best, even if he could fight. He wasn't too good at that either, but he could manage. His favorite training activity was strategy, but now that he was in the arena, he couldn't see how that was going to help him. All he could do was try to stay alive as long as he could. Adrian noticed that Aaron had started to move, and followed him, keeping a tight grip on his dagger. It was beginning to get dark in the arena, and who knew what kind of monsters the gamemakers had included this time. Adrian's eyes darted from side to side, keeping watch for any movement, even if it was just a leaf falling. He wanted to be warned of any approach. ((Psh, the response you actually posted is rather epic! Sorry for the late response.))

Ian had been trying, rather unsuccessfully, to stop the bleeding of his own wounds with the sleeve of his tattered jacket. When Saphire spoke, he turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "Uh, yeah. Thanks. If we manage to find any herbs, I could make a poultice. R-My sister showed me how..." He trailed off slightly, letting her treat the gouges as he looked out across the wide expanse of grass, his brow drawn in thought. There had to be something out there, or someone... For the first time since the Games had started, he wondered if either he or Saphire had any sponsors.

((so, so sorry guys! I'm posting now, in pure defiance of the death of this RP...) Aaron caught a flicker of motion among the plain white and gray of the mountain landscape. the tracks had ended and night was officially upon them. the only light now came from the luminescent moon and it was as if all color had been bleached from the world. Aaron gestured to the boy beside him, pressing a finger to his lips and staring intently at the spot where he had seen it. he clung to the weapon in his hand and stepped, ever so hesitently, toward his prey. a low growl sounded and two unblinking orbs of light appeared out of nowhere. eyes, he thought, and as the thing prowled towards them he could make out the lean shape of a large cat. black rosettes dotted the animals figure, a long tail flicked back and forth behind it, and as it lifted its teeth in a snarl he could see long, viciously pointed teeth. Aaron held his breath. he had heard of these animals, leopards he thought they were called, heard stories of them from his grandmother. he had thought they were all extinct but now, looking at the creature before him, he knew that at least some of them had survived. he wondered what other secrets the capitol had kept from them. the leopard tensed and Aaron readied himself for the attack. it was do or die, now, kill or be killed. but then, wasnt that how it had always been, since the beginning of this cursed Games? ((I'll leave the fighting scene to you, rose, dont really care how it goes, except for the surviving part of course)) ***** Saphire pulled the fabric tight around the wounds and nodded. "Those'll keep you from dying of blood lost, at least." she said and looked around at the grass covered plain. "But we wont live long anyway if we don't find some food." she glared intently at the dark grass, thick and long. the stupid stuff hid anything that could be caught and eaten. If only she had a few bits of rope... or if she had bothered to learn how to track an animal... she remembered a trap from the instructor in the capitol. not that it did her any good... a thought struck her then and she sat down, right where she was at, and began to cut the grass from the ground. a feverish light lit in her eyes as she worked, ammounting a pile of thick grass beside her. "Do you know anythiing about traps?" she asked Ian and began to expertly weave the grass into a rope. if this worked... if she could make the rope and build a trap... well, their chances were still slim, but they might just survive another day.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:52:25 +0000

For a moment, Ian thought she was falling. On instinct he reached out, only to pull his arms back when he saw she was merely pulling up blades of grass. "Do you know anything about traps?" With a nod, Ian knelt on the ground beside her. "Yeah, actually-" He stopped himself from saying more, before he could reveal to the Capitol he and his sister's excursions to the woods. He took some of the grass and started braiding it, glancing up every now and then to make sure no one was sneaking up on them, and to see if he could see any signs of animals.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:09:56 +0000

Adrian stared at the menacing animal in front of him. He had no idea what it was, but it looked a bit like those....cats they learned about in school. But much bigger. And much more frightening. The cat's haunches tightened, and Adrian guessed that it was about to jump. But where? It looked as if it was going to jump.... right at him. Adrian's life flashed before his eyes and the animal leaped. He instinctively ducked, and the cat leaped right over him. Snarling, it whirled around and swiped at Aaron with it's giant paws. Adrian didn't know what to do. The only weapon he had was a knife, and he wasn't accurate enough to throw it. It was also extremely foolish to throw away his only weapon. Knife weren't very good except in close combat though...and Adrian didn't plan to get any closer to those sharp claws than he had to. While he was thinking, the cat swiped again at Aaron, who had moved out of the way some how. How were they supposed to kill it? It was faster than them, so they couldn't run away, and it could probably climb trees as well... Did cats swim? He remembered seeing a pond they had passed... If they could lure it into the pond... The cat, which seemed to have forgotten about Adrian, was trying to slash at Aaron, who was looking rather afraid. Adrian ran behind the cat, and yelled "Hey! Cat! Over here! Do cats like water?" He was trying to distract the cat from Aaron, and ask him a question at the same time. The cat swung to face Adrian, snarling. ((Your turn, charm! Sorry about the delay, I was grounded from the computer for a bit.))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

charmseer — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:52:19 +0000

((lets see, sprained fingers, final exams, first game of the season, extreme soccer practice... too much crap goin on this week!)) Aaron saw his chance and took it. he jumped forward and slashed out with his weapon. in a sudden flash of incredible bad luck the cat prowled towards Adrian and he only managed to cut off part of its tail. great, he thought, now it was mad. the animal yowled in pain and he searched his memory at hyper speed to see if he could answer the boys question. gran had had a cat once, he thought. a little tabby thing, he remembered it from when he was a kid. it had soft fur and big gold eyes. focus, he told himself, gotta focus. he tried to keep his mind moving in a straight line of logic. "No." he said at last "not at all." it probably should have occured to him how strange the question was in the first place. why would he want to know something so trivial at a time like this? regardless, he didnt have time to think too much before the leopard leapt at him, an angry screech bubbling up from its jowls. Aaron backed up fast and his head hit something solid and hard. pain burst through his skull and a bright red color bleached his vision. he brought his hand up on reflex and felt his knife catch on something. fur, maybe, and flesh. hot pain ripped through his shoulder and a warm liquid began to drip down his arm. he gasped and slashed again but the animal had gone. where a vicious beast had once been there was now only air. his instinct was to stop the pain, to get away from the danger so he could lick his wounds, metaphorically speaking. but he knew better. he knew that the cat would feed him, and Adrian, for a while. he knew that if he didnt win this battle now he would never survive the rest of the games, even if he did survive the next few minutes. as the red faded and his vision was restored he looked around for the leopard. absentmindedly he touched a hand to his head and winced. when his fingers came away he saw that they were stained dark with blood. he hoped the other boy had some sort of plan, maybe something to do with water... was that why he had asked? his head spun and he tried to open his mouth to find out- but the scratch of claws against stone stopped the words in his throat. where was it? he kept his back against the mountain face and stared wildly around. ***** saphire grinned fiercely at the product of their work. she had threaded the grass easily enough and struggled with the construction. Ian had come in handy there, knotting and setting up the traps as if he had been doing it all his life. thinking on that, she figured he probably had. she had seen him in the hob after all. was he carrying furs when she'd seen him? she thought so, but couldnt be sure. she saw him glancing about nervously and cursed herself. she had been so involved in her work that she had noticed nothing else around her. if something had snuck upbehind her she wouldnt have noticed until he knife was plunged into her back. they set up the traps all abou the field, not daring to leave the area. she lay exausted on the trampled grass that served as her bed and stared up at the starless sky. the faces would appear any minute, she knew, and she didnt know whether she was looking forward to seeing who she no longer had to worry about or dreading the knowledge that the people she saw, whos images would appear, were gone.

Adrian watched, heart in his mouth as the big cat attacked Aaron. The cat was just about to jump on Aaron again, so Adrian did something, "Hey, Cat!" he yelled, attracting its attention. Then he picked up a rock and hurled it at the cat. It hit, producing a meaty thump. The cat snarled, and leaped towards him. Adrian turned and ran towards the pond, twisting and dodging, trying to avoid the trees and bushes. If he tripped now, he was dead. The cat was very fast, and almost grabbed him once, but Adrian had pivoted around the other side of the tree. Panting, he saw a shimmer of blue through the pink leaves. Heaving a sigh of relief, he found the adrenaline to put on another burst of speed. Once Adrian reached the pond, he jumped in, swimming frantically out aways. The cat skidded to a stop at the very edge of the water, and snarled, thwarted. When the cat turned around to go after Aaron, Adrian sent a large wave of water towards it, splashing it. The cat snarled and put it's two front paws into the water, trying to get close enough to swipe at him. Adrian didn't exactly have a plan now. He hoped Aaron was coming, and that he could come up with something. Granted, they could just wait the cat out, but it was food, and that was something that was scarce in the arena.

Aaron crept up to the leopard, praying hat the thing wouldnt turn around. Adrian kept it occupied while he brought the knife down on the cats back, right between its shoulder blades. the cat yowled and twisted, tossing him away from it and onto the gravel covered ground. he shook his head and winced, immediately deciding that this was a bad idea. he groaned, sood, and dove at the leopard, head ringing. his hand closed around the familiar hilt and he tore it from the cat and slashed blindly. he felt the blade lodge in something squishyand gritted his teeth, pulling it all the way through. the noise subsided into a low gurgling noise and when he looked back the cats throat was sliced clean open. Aaron panted heavilyand moved towards the pond where Adrian still floated, shivering in the cold. he reached out to the boy and grinned, jerking his head in the direction of the slain animal. "Dinner." he said, his tone just a little feral.

Adrian waded from the pond, eyes extremely wide, giving him an owlish look. He knew, theoretically that people and things would die in the arena, but seeing it happen right before his eyes...it was different. He gulped, and composed himself. "Congradulations!" he said to Aaron. Then he walked around the beast, trying to figure out where the most meat would come from. If they had a good enough knife, they might also want to try skinning the cat. That fur might make a good blanket, if really smelly.

Callista has long, reddish brown hair, and hazel eyes. She has a sprinkling of freckles across her nose. Callista is very fair-skinned, as are many of the people in District 9. Specialties: Callista is very good at climbing trees. Even though 9's industry is grains, they have many trees (smaller ones- not pines!), which Callista likes to climb. She sneaks outside the fence sometimes, and climbs the trees there. She is always hoping to see something new. She likes being outside the fence because it's always changing in nature- not like inside the fence where everything is the same day-to-day. Like District 12 (even though she doesn't know it), 9 has a black market. It isn't as frequented by the Peacekeepers, however, and the officials ignore everything that happens in the market. It was there that Callista was sold a bow and arrows- which she hides in a shrub outside the fence. She doesn't like to kill with them, so she uses them as entertainment instead. Weapons- She managed to get her hands on a bow in the arena, along with a small backpack and a knife. So far, Callista is hiding out by one of the lakes, where she escaped to after grabbing her supplies at the Cornucopia. She is nursing her cuts at the moment. And just for a reference- I'm in 8th grade, so it's pretty tough for me to get on during the week. I'll try my best, though, and catch up on weekends.

They sat in the cave, confortable and much warmer with a fire glowing in the depths of the cave. he sat, side by side with Adrian, and attempted to skin the animal. a grimace froze on his face throughout the messy process. it wasnt as if he had ever skkinned an animal, after all. it was much different from wittling wood. he ended up sighing in frustration as he once again jerked the knife hard and poked a hole in the pelt. "Useless." he growled, more about himself than the task at hand. then he heard the music, the sounds that only meant one thing. he shared a look with his companion and poked his head out of the cave to watch the faces roll across the sky. ***** Saphire looked down at Ian who slept soundlessly on the trampled grass that served as his bed. she sat on her own improvised cot, legs pulled into her chest and arms holding them close. the dagger beside her gleamed in the light of the moon, he only light in existence that night. they hadnt dared to set a fire, neither was that stupid. the fire would burn through the dry grass like it was gasoline and the careers would find them before she could blink. as a result, she sat shivering in the cold looking up at the moon and waiting. she wondered who had survived the day, and who hadnt made it past the first five minutes. it felt more... real, she supposed. knowing that she was about to see the faces of the dead. it wasnt fair. they didnt have to die, if it werent for the stupid capitol... the symbol of Panem gleamed in the sky and the music began. if it werent for snow. if it werent for the peacekeepers and the polititions and the game makers... she wallowed in her blame-fest. her anger rose and her mouth set into a noiseless snarl. it wasnt fair, none of it was, and they were to blame. she wanted, so badly, to hurt them somehow. to make them care about what theyd done.

Callista sat by the reeds, wrapping a strip of cloth from her pants around the cut on her arm. It wasn't hurting as much now, but the Career tribute from 1 had gotten a good smack at her when they had both reached for the bow and arrows. Callista was lucky- she had managed to get away with the bow, slipping away from the large boy and making a run for the lake. She had one advantage- being younger, the massive tributes had paid little attention to her. He probably thought she was dead already- she had heard several canons go off after the bloodbath, but soon the pictures of the dead tributes would be showed to the remainder of tributes. Callista didn't hold too much hope that she could outlast most of the tributes. It wouldn't matter too much if she couldn't go back anyway- one less mouth for her parents and older brother to feed. But Callista wanted to see the fields again- as much as she hated them at times, she missed them now that she was in the arena. Her hands slipped up to the topaz pin in her hair- her District token. Her best friend Lily had given it to her as she waited in the Justice Building. Lily's older sister, Maren, had been a tribute in the last games, and the token had been returned with Maren. Callista hid her quiver in the reeds beside her, bow in hand, and the knife tucked into her belt. All she could do was wait to see who would be left.

((I'm SOO sorry guys. I've been so busy!)) Adrian stopped trying to skin the useless animal, and looked up at the sky. The capitol seal was showing, signifying the pictures were about to be shown. A shiver ran down Adrian's back. It seemed all the more real to him now. The first picture to be shown was that of the girl from District 3. She looked small and mousy even in her picture. Next came the boy from District 5. Adrian didn't recognize him really, he must not have spent much time in the training areas. The boy who came up next had a defiant expression, but apparently that hadn't helped him. It was the boy from 7. Adrian sighed in half relief, showing the boy from district 7 meant that his district mate was still alive. For now. Another boy appeared, this time from district 8. There was a disproportionate number of males dead, and Adrian wondered why. Were they just less careful? Just as Adrian wondered this, a girl's picture showed. It was the girl from District 10. After a proper fanfare, the Panem seal faded. Adrian frowned. Only 5 dead? That was actually a rather small number for the cornucopia slaughter. Maybe the tributes were learning from past Games.

Ian jerked awake as the anthem sounded, and for a moment he scrambled for his knife. He looked at the sky, and relaxed slightly when he realized there was no danger just now. He sat up, watching the faces flash against the sky. Only five dead? That was odd. Maybe the tributes had learned from past games to get away from the Cornucopia as fast possible in order to survive. For a little while, at least. The back of his throat ached as he thought of the younger tributes, but he forced himself to push the thought away. Silently raving against the Capitol wouldn't help him, or anyone else, here.

Or maybe they think the girls are easier to bend to their will when it comes to not rebelling. I assume these Games will end in a tribute rebel plot? That's what I got from the summary on the first page... not to mention I couldn't bear not to have a rebellion in the games))

Callista watched as the faces began to flash through the sky. The young girl from 3. That meant the district 1 and 2 tributes were all alive- and banded together in the Career pack. Next, the boy from 5. Of course, both from 4 were alive. All six Careers. The boys from seven and eight. Callista held her breath, wondering if her district partner would appear in the sky. No- the girl from 10. Callista thought back to the faces, counting. Only 5 were dead- That left 19 of them. 6 Careers, the pairs from 6, 11, and 12. Herself, and her partner from 9. The girls from 5, 7, and 8. The boy from 10. Why were there more girls left then boys? And why were only 5 dead? What were the Gamemakers up to?

Adrian turned to Aaron. "More guys than girls, this year." He remarked, waiting to hear what Aaron thought about it. For a second, he felt a burning anger towards the capitol, for making them into novelties, to be killed when ever they wanted. They were just pawns! The intensity of his anger caught him by surprise. He had never been one of the people to say bad things about the capitol, it just seemed useless. And it was useless. But that didn't stop him from hating them anyway.

Astrid Haverty stared around her. She knew that the Career's weren't far off yet preferred to survey the area. She spotted the tree's, their pink fluffy-like appearance reminded her of a fairy tale. She didn't want to think of what might happen if she got too close to them. She looked into the sky and grimaced slightly as the names passed by. She didn't want to think of them, of her own family and the people she knew, looking down on her now. For them, she had to live. She had to do what was necessary. Astrid was trained her whole life for this. She slung her pack back on her shoulders, her throwing knives were carefully concealed on her. The bow and arrow hung on her back. She knew that these came from a very rich member in the Capital. She didn't like to think that she would need them but it was better safe than sorry. She didn't really care who these people were. All she knew was the people around her were winning. That was enough for now.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:21:19 +0000

Zoe sat watch on one side of the camp, facing the fluffy pink trees. She shuddered. There was something menacing about them, and they reminded her of her daydreams when she was young. When she was still innocent. She had dreamed that a rich woman would come, and take her away to the capitol as her child. She would dress like a princess, and eat wonderful food everyday, and there would be wonderful fluffy trees like the ones before her. Zoe smiled wryly. It had been a long time since she had thought of those dreams, and they seemed unimaginably silly to her now. She knew the world was better now. It was a kill or be killed world, and Zoe wasn't going to be killed if she could help it. Zoe returned her attention back to the trees and the grounds around them, not wanting to be caught unaware.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:33:30 +0000

Astrid didn't drop off her things at camp. She spotted the back of one person to her and felt to make sure her knives were ready. It wasn't until she got closer that she breathed a sigh of relief. It was only a girl, another member of their pack to be sure. She noted the stance of the girl sitting there and walked towards her cautiously keeping some distance between them. Astrid was newer to the camp, she had survived by staying out of sight so far but that wouldn't last long alone. The District 4 boy, who she barely knew the name of, had joined some time before. With Astrid's rather impressive score she had earned his and another boy's trust, ensuring her a spot in the Career's. She thought for a moment, not sure if initiating contact was smart anymore. "Hi. Your..um..Zoe right?"

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:45:00 +0000

Zoe turned slowly at the voice, keeping her knives ready. Oh. It was the girl...Astrid, was it? The district 4 girl. "Yes." she said. "You're Astrid, correct?" Opening her arms, and turning slightly towards the pink trees, she asked acidly, "What do you think of the wonderful arena the gamemakers have provided for...us?" she was going to say something about how it was a vehicle for their death, but there was a chance the gamemakers had automatic cameras, for when they weren't awake themselves. She didn't want to be singled out as dangerous!

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:49:56 +0000

Astrid nodded her head. "Yep." Her eyes followed the girls arms to take in the arena, the tool of death itself. She did have a point despite her sarcasm. Astrid knew she had to give the answer the game makers would love. "We are privileged to have been chosen for the Games. They have provided us with a wonderful field this year." Her voice did not reveal her hatred. She had been well coached and knew she needed her sponsors to believe these words if they were watching. "Your on watch I suppose. Anything strange lately?" She looked around her but only saw someone sleeping not too far off.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:01:02 +0000

Zoe looked at the girl curiously. Was she serious, or was she just acting for her sponsors? As Astrid looked over at Kaden, Zoe shifted slightly, unconciously. Her instincts told her to protect him from anything. And he looked so...innocent while asleep. Zoe reached into her pack and pulled out a small contraption that the boy from district 4 had made earlier in the day. She pressed a button, and it emitted a high pitched sound that climbed higher and higher until she couldn't hear it anymore. Then she smiled at Astrid. "No one can see us or hear us now." Zoe said. Out of the available parts, the boy had made a circuit jammer. "It's a death trap." Zoe said harshly, referring to the arena.

Callista sat in silence for a few minutes, wondering what was in store for them. She rolled over in the moist ground, afraid to fall asleep, because she knew how vulnerable it made her. She realized, though, that she hadn't seen any other tributes come in her direction. Within a few moments, Callista was asleep. She woke with a start, when she heard rumbling above her. She looked up at the mountain, and was almost paralyzed with fear. An avalanche of ice and snow from the mountaintop was pouring down the sides. It was coming towards her. Callista grabbed her small backpack and her bow and arrows and felt to make sure the knife was still in her belt. She took off away from the pond and towards the Cornucopia. ((I figured with only 5 dead, the Capitol might be wanting some action!))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:18:54 +0000

((That's a good idea)) Adrian looked up, startled, at the loud sound coming from the mountains. "Er, Aaron?" he asked tentitively, hoping he would wake up. "What is that?" It sounded very dangerous, whatever it was. He wasn't used to mountains. He thought they were far enough away from them that it wouldn't hurt them, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure. Aaron probably knew more about mountains that he did.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:01:28 +0000

Callista was sprinting towards the Cornucopia, the golden horn not yet in sight. She knew the Careers had likely set up camp there- but this was preferable to being dead under a pile of ice and snow. She kept stumbling over rocks and small shrubs as she ran, but never stopped. Soon enough, the top of the Cornucopia was in sight. She kept running, now going uphill. She at last reached the beginning spot of the Games. The Careers were there, and she froze for a moment, unsure of what to do. She was from 9. Not big or strong or having anything to offer. What would happen if she approached them?

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:01:46 +0000

Chloe, staying up to help keep watch, heard an odd rumbling noise. She stood, reaching for her ax as she looked around the camp to see if anyone else heard it. She looked back to the tree-line, and soon saw a tribute running towards the Cornucopia. Her dark eyes narrowed, and her grip on her ax tightened. "Someones coming!" she said over her shoulder, and took a step towards the running figure. They stopped suddenly, seemingly frozen at the edge of the clearing. It looked like a girl... Nine, maybe? She couldn't be sure. ((Ah, I'll post for Ian in a bit...))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:42:33 +0000

Callista looked, seeing a figure at the Cornucopia. A Career. With an ax. Callista paused. The girl was watching her. Callista wracked her brain, trying to remember this girl. She was somewhat tall- and her hair was pulled back. She was pale in the moonlight. Callista ticked through the girls in her head. This girl wasn't as big as any of the other Careers. Five! She was the girl from 5. Callista remembered her from training- she was handy with a knife, and Callista didn't want to face her hand to hand. The girls stood, surveying each other.

Zoe looked up curiously. There was a strange sound coming from the mountains, and she wasn't sure what it was. She also thought she saw a shape or two in the distance, near the trees. They weren't close enough to bother with yet, though, so you just watched them, while still keeping tabs on where the other girl was.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:48:40 +0000

Apparently, a non-Career tribute coming to the Cornucopia wasn't cause for excitement, Chloe mused. It would've been easy, even with some of the Careers out looking for tributes. She decided to take care of the girl herself, but just as she did something gave her pause, and she bit her lip. It was so wrong, all this senseless killing. What had this tribute ever done to deserve death at the hands of someone barely older than her? Gripping her ax a little tighter, Chloe slowly walked towards the girl, stopping when she was far enough away to speak, but not close enough that the girl could surprise her. "You have exactly ten seconds to tell me why I shouldn't kill you, right now." Chloe said, hefting her ax. She had to work to keep herself from wincing. The people watching from the Capitol were probably going crazy, yelling for her to strike, to take the tribute's life, but she couldn't. She'd give her a chance, at the very least.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:00:39 +0000

Callista froze. What was she supposed to say? "I... I... because this is all wrong! These games! We're just kids. It's sick! Sick sick sick! And because you're from 5. You're not one of their little pets. Or are you? Do you want to be? Just a pawn for the Gamemakers to boss around? That's what we are in here. We're just... disposable to them." Callista closed her eyes, expecting to feel the ax in her chest at any second.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:42:11 +0000

Astrid sighed and watched for a moment as the scene shifted before her. Something was out there. In moments a girl appeared. Astrid reached for a knife and held it tight in her hands in case it was needed. The girls words made her freeze. She was worried those watching might consider them all dangerous. This new girl had just voiced what was in all their heads but what no one wanted to breathe. She should kill her...it wasn't like with words like that the girl was going to live anyway. The words the Capitol wanted to hear were those thanking them for their grace and mercy. Anything less was well..not smart. "We are thankful we have been chosen, and given a way to care for our family's. The Capitol has well provided for us." She shot a look at the other girl, a slight warning that they may be watched and she should be careful around the newcomer.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:50:12 +0000

For a moment, all Chloe could do was stare in open mouthed horror at the tribute before her. Had those words really just come out of her mouth?! She shook her head, only slightly in answer to the girl's remark about being a pawn, then clenched her jaw. "What the hell are you trying to do?" She asked, her voice almost a growl. She turned her head slightly toward Astrid, acknowledging her, but her words gave Chloe a bad feeling. Well provided for... Yeah, right. But she understood what she was trying to do.

Astrid watched the proceedings before her. She doubted she'd need her knife. If it came to she guessed Chloe would kill her first. She knew this girl meant danger..and putting her in their pack could be equivalent to a death sentence now. "She's spoken against the Capitol. I can't believe she'd do that."

Zoe stood there, still as can be. Did the girl really just say that? How...How did she think she would get away with it? Zoe looked quickly at the device the boy had made. It was still spinning, meaning that it was still working. She stepped forward, towards the girl. "You are lucky I had the jammer going." She said bluntly. "You don't say things like that. Especially in the arena. Do you want to be murdered in an extremely brutal way as an example to everyone? Being killed is bad enough..." Zoe muttered.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:35:00 +0000

((Sorry- as I said, school during the week, can be tough to get on, etc.) Callista knew what she said was dangerous. She knew it could get her killed. But she also knew it was true. "What are they going to do? The Gamemakers know it's true. The citizens of the Capitol couldn't care less. The people in the districts... I'd bet a number of them wouldn't argue. Kill me if you want. It's not going to change what I said. Nothing will. I've said it. People have heard it. I'm sorry. But... I've watched too many Games wondering why no one mentioned that... I wasn't about to let my Games be the same." Callista looked around in fear, convinced something would kill her instantly, if this girl didn't. There were two other girls- surely one of them wouldn't take the risk. But there was a chance they'd agree. Side with her. The girls weren't as ruthless as the boys, for sure, but everyone was determined to get home.

((sorry everyone, soccer season's gotten really busy! must come up with an epic post now... welcome to the rpg, Lady Absinthe!)) Aaron frowned at that. yeah, more girls had died, but the way the other boy said it made it sound sinister... maybe it was just him being paranoid, but it got him thinking. what could be going on to make Adrian suspicious? Was it some sort of plot by the Gamemakers? was the Capitol playing some sort of trick on them? he had to wonder, if only for a moment. "Yeah, I guess. probably just a coincidence," he decided, "if it's something else I'll deal with it later." he didnt have the patience to deal with some complicated attempt to kill him. he was too tired and his nerves were stretched to the breaking point. "Lets get some sleep. mind taking first watch?" he could feel his eyelids drooping, it was a struggle to stay conscious. his head throbbed, the steady drum of pain a rythm that lulled his senses.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:31:13 +0000

(Thanks.) Should she? Astrid knew killing the girl would be easy. And she even doubted the Capitol would punish her for it. Those words well, if she ever went around speaking in public like that, who knows how long she'd last. Astrid didn't like the idea that the girl might join them. It would be such a big gamble...and most gamblers were known to lose. "I think it's time you make a choice what has to be done here." She turned her gave towards Zoe. As she had been here longer than Astrid she left the choice in her hands.

Zoe stared at the girls. Her mind was whirling. She could play her part as the heartless career, and slay her on the spot. For some reason, Zoe's heart didn't want her too. Her heart was entirely too weak lately. Taking in Kaden, listening to this girl...It was going to get her in trouble. If she wanted to survive, she needed to do something about it. Zoe shifted, uncomfortable. She adjusted her grip on her sword. "What she said is....has truth in it. The capitol didn't hear her. No harm has been done. And I don't feel like being covered with blood right now." she said, trying to joke a little. "Just be careful! If you are going to have radical thoughts, and blurt them out, make sure you don't endanger other people!" ~xoxo~ Adrian nodded. "Sure thing." He didn't feel very tired right now. He had a lot to think about. Did this happen to all the candidates? Once they entered into the arena, did they began thinking radical thoughts? Or was it just him? He wasn't normally like that. Before he came her, he didn't think about the capitol very much. Maybe it was the fact they were going to die. Serious thoughts came now, because they wouldn't have an adulthood to think them.

Astrid sighed, her thumb fingering the bow for a moment before she turned slighly. She wasn't sure of what kind of game this one was playing at anymore. Her dark eyes scanned the horizon for a moment and then an odd smell wafted to her. She lived in a village well known for fishing and tracking. Astrid herself had come into the wild's often enough to know this smell wasn't right. She turned back to the others, her mind starting to race. "Fire!" Sure enough she could see a makeshift sling bed nearby light up.

Callista sighed in relief. "Thank you. I won't say it again- but I had to say it." the other girl suddenly shouted out something. Fire. She had said fire. Callista looked to the girl and saw it- one of the beds nearby was engulfed in flames. She didn't know what to do. Stay- and join up with the Careers? These girls seemed nice enough, and they had spared her life. But some of the boys were bound to be ruthless. And it would only be so long before they had to turn on each other...

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:33:12 +0000

Zoe thought fast. She grabbed Callista's wrist. "Come with us for now!" she said loudly. Then she let go, and ran over to Kaden. She shook him lightly. "Wake up." she said. "We need to go, grab what you need!" She grabbed two nearby backpacks, the ones that was already filled with everything neccessary. "There is a lake, over there!" she pointed towards the trees. "Lets go over there!" she said to the girls she had been talking to, and Kaden. She turned and yelled "FIRE!" one more time, towards the general group of careers. If they were heavy sleeper...it was too bad for them. She would take care of the people she knew, at least a little bit. She couldn't take care of everyone.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:36:59 +0000

Astrid flew into action. She grabbed her own packs and weapons, quickly storing them on her or slinging them onto arms or back. She grabbed a bag of provisions and a medical kit and quickly ran to a small girl in the field. "Alice..Alice hun wake up!" The girl's drowsy eyes opened and widened with fear. "Quickly now!" The girl nodded and picked up her things as fast she could. The two raced after Zoe trying to get to safety.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:27:32 +0000

Callista, already set having run from the avalanche, took off towards the trees with the other girls. The other Careers were waking up, slowly. She knew from instinct that this fire was meant to draw them to the other tributes. She hadn't died. The fire would keep the audience satisfied- but unless another tribute was killed soon enough, there would be trouble.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:29:05 +0000

Zoe looked behind her, making sure everyone was following. She ran to the lake, and set her pack down on the edge. She watched as everyone came. She wanted to see who else was coming, if any of the other careers were going to join them. Belatedly, she realized some of them might get mad at her for ditching them before it was time. Oh well. She could win any fight she needed to. ((The lake is just inside the tree cover. It's a different one than the one Adrian and Aaron used. And since Tuffy is pretty busy right now, i'm just assuming Kaden is with us.))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:25:45 +0000

Astrid and little Alice reached the lake. Alice looked about her for a moment and hoisted her pack onto her shoulders ready for the swim. Astrid looked down at the lake. She knew it left them out in the open for a bit, not something she really liked. "Were going to be unprotected for a bit here. I suspect most of us will reach the other side in about 5-10 mins of hard swimming."

Tuffysgirl — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:46:05 +0000

Chloe swore when she saw the fire, quickly grabbing a backpack and dashing after Zoe, her ax still clutched in her hand. She slowed as she neared the water, stopping just on the edge of it and looking around, silently cursing the Gamemakers and their ideas of fun. Scratch that. She cursed the Capitol, and the Games, for putting all of them here. ((Lame post is lame... I won't be on much tonight, and probably in and out for the next few days :( ))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:22:19 +0000

Callista slowed down as they reached the lake, turning to see the others. The glow from the fire was becoming brighter. She tensed her muscles, ready to dive into the lake and swim if necessary. She had learned to swim in the small river outside of 9, and would be better than some of the other tributes. Callista looked suspiciously at the lake. How easy would it be for the Gamemakers to kill them? They were trapped- and they had no choice but to do whatever the Gamemakers wanted. It was that, or death.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:31:31 +0000

Zoe watched as the fire-light grew brighter. "Let's go!" She yelled to the others. The packs she had grabbed for herself and Kaden were water proof, so that wasn't a problem. But the others... "Try to keep your packs above your head!" she called, as she waded into the water. The gamemakers could have done something to water, but Zoe was pretty sure they hadn't. It would kill too many people, too quickly. The gamemakers liked to play with their catch, and make them suffer. Instant death was too quick.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:39:26 +0000

((Tuffy, that's okay. We all have lives, and lives come first. Thanks for warning us though. Just a check up: I still haven't heard from nerrdygirl [I've nanoed her again] and Dusk is focusing on exams right now. Just in case you were wondering!))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:46:20 +0000

Astrid and the other girl waded in. It was easy for Astrid, used to being around water in her district. Though she suspected it wouldn't be after they actually had to swim. "We're only going to be able to wade so far, it seems." She felt the dip in the water as it soon rose to her waist, then almost her shoulders. She sighed and realized there was no way out of this. At least she could save her things by keeping it on her back.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:29:46 +0000

Callista started walking into the water, feeling the water swallow her legs, her waist, her torso. It hadn't been too bad at first, but the temperature seemed to drop as more of her body was immersed in the lake. She kept her pack on her pack, and held her quiver and bow above her head. If they were ruined, she was toast.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:35:42 +0000

Zoe watched as the firelight grew brighter. She walked further into the water, until it was up to the bottom of her shoulder blades. She began to take deep breaths. She couldn't lose her cool right now. Not even when there was a giant, man eating fire coming closer and closer. She had always been afraid of fire. To her overactive imagination, it almost sounded like the trees were screaming. Or was that....were there candidates dieing in the fire? Zoe shivered. What a horrible way to die.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Lady Absinthe — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:51:56 +0000

Astrid felt the water give further. A chill ran down her spine and she lunged out, her legs kicking the water, her hands streaking the surface. She looked back to see the others. "You have to swim now!" She kept her head above the water not wanting to pay attention to any other noise but couldn't help hearing. "Keep going!"

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:23:26 +0000

Chloe wished she could cover her ears, but she needed them to keep swimming, so she set her jaw and stubbornly tried to ignore the sounds coming from the woods. It was so awful... The water was chilly, and black and looked very, very deep. She wondered what would happen when she couldn't touch the bottom anymore. But focusing on that was just as bad as the sounds coming from behind them. It looked as though the Gamemakers would get their bloodbath after all, even if little blood was actually shed.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:03:54 +0000

Callista felt herself getting deeper, and kicked up, swimming on her stomach, with her bow on her back. She could hear the screams from the flames, wincing as the tributes died in the growing flames. She and the other girls were making their way across the lake. Why were the girls outnumbering the boys so quickly?

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:43:15 +0000

Zoe flipped over to her back, floating. She directed the people around her to do it as well. The nice part about floating was it only took a small bit of energy. Zoe didn't think she would be able to stand it if people drowned because of her. ...That thought startled her. She didn't normally put much stock in other's lives, she couldn't afford to, as a career. It just wasn't done. She looked around, trying to keep tabs on everyone. she didn't see that many boys, besides Kaden....which was very strange. Hopefully they weren't all dead. Zoe winced. She couldn't stand the agonized screams of the dying. ((so, since Dusk isn't around too much right now, I'm just pretending that Kaden is basically doing what I do.)))

Bang, bang, bang! the sounds of a cannon woke her before anything else. Saphire was up like a shot, wild eyes searching for anything that might have caused the disturbence. an acrid smell reached her nostrils even as she caught sight of the billowing clouds of smoke. she shook her head dazedly. she didnt remember falling asleep, didnt remember laying down... and where was Ian? she looked about their small camp and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, sprawled half on half off his makeshift cot. Saphire looked in the direction of the smoke. the trees, it must have been in the forest... "The trees are burning." she whispered in horror and with immediate distress saw that the smoke was drifting closer. a scream pierced the air and her first instinct was to run, run far away from the flammable grass and swiftly burning flames. she had set a foot in the right direction, erady to sprint, when she stopped herself. A long steady look at the sleeping boy told her that she knew she wouldnt be able to run. she couldnt leave him behind. Saphire cursed loudly and kicked Ian lightly in the ribs. "Get up," she told him and her voice was hard, "fire. the other tributes could find us soon." heart pounding, she listened to the growing sounds of crackling flames and burning trees. she clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth. this was the gamemakers doing, she knew. the Games were getting a little too boring for them, so they created the fire. at that moment, with the screams of dying children and the smell of burning trees filling her senses, she wished with all her heart that she could make them pay for what they were doing.

Zoe lifted her head to listen to the canons. 3 canon blasts. Three people dead. Three people she wouldn't have to kill, right? Somehow, far from encouraging her, the thought made her sad. When had human being's lives become things to play with and exterminate? There was something wrong with this picture. If Zoe had been in any position but floating in a cold lake trying to escape a man-eating fire, she would have shifted uncomfortably. None of these deep thoughts had come to her before the arena. Was it just her, or did others find their conscience in the arena?

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:49:56 +0000

Callista kept paddling, despite the cannon blasts. There was nothing she could do- and that just meant three less people for her to have to kill. She froze for a moment- her district partner, Stephen- had he been one of them? She had barely known him, but this thought startled her. Everything had changed in the arena- she was saying things she shouldn't say, she was getting confused. She looked over at Zoe, who had a similar expression on her face. Callista turned away, leaving Zoe to her own thoughts, and kept swimming across the lake.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:18:04 +0000

"Get up, Ian heard from above him, but he was already awake, coughing from the smoke that had entered his lungs. "Ouch," He said when Saphire kicked him, and was about to add more when he looked up and saw the flames eating away at the trees. Her last sentance clicked then, and he swore, grabbing his pack and knife beside him before jumping to his feet. If the flames made it to the grass, this whole field would go up in flames... "Come on," He said, his voice almost a growl as he grabbed Saphire's wrist and pulled her after him as he ran. ~~~~~ Chloe shut her eyes as the cannons went off, feeling her stomach turn. What and awful, awful way to die. And it was all the Capitol's fault, throwing them in here and slaughtering them. If only... No. She cut that thought off before it could take root. No use in cursing the Capitol, outloud or not. And besides, at this rate it was likely she'd be dead by morning.

(Posting for Absinthe. Why isn't Astrid's name on the list?) Astrid turned at the sound. Canons? She had no idea how they had canons in the Games. She didn't think that was possible. She turned her head and spotted the land mass not far from them. Her dark eyes took it all in for a moment. "Be ready to run when we hit the ground! There's not much time to get out of the way." She swam faster her arms flashing across the surface of the water. Almost...almost....there! She felt her body start to rise as she began to find footing in the water. "Here! Hurry!" She turned her head to look back at her friend's or frenemies, whichever it was now.

((hm, okay, i just caught up on everything that's happened in the last three pages. i completely missed that avalanche scene, so ill just write Aarons pov from that scene till the present, k?)) [quote=alannathelioness] ((That's a good idea)) Adrian looked up, startled, at the loud sound coming from the mountains. "Er, Aaron?" he asked tentitively, hoping he would wake up. "What is that?" It sounded very dangerous, whatever it was. He wasn't used to mountains. He thought they were far enough away from them that it wouldn't hurt them, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure. Aaron probably knew more about mountains that he did. [/quote] Aaron mumbled incoherently, only half awake, and tried to process what the kid was saying. what was what? then he felt the ground shake beneath him and swore, leaping to his feet. his head throbbed, protesting the sudden movement with extreme prejudice. "Earthquake?" he mumbled blearily, but a glance out the caves entrance showed something far more dangerous: avalanche. He looked about franticly, but the wall of snow was closing in on all sides. up or down, he thought, and the quickly falling snow made his decision for him; there was no way they could climb above that disaster. "Run," his voice was quiet and hoarse from sleep so he spoke again, louder, "Run!" they did, tripping and stumbling several times. Aaron felt his body being bruised and battered and knew that before long these wounds, however small, would slow him and the avalanche would swallow him whole. they ran fast and hard, and the snow was almost too much. Aaron could feel it, something that had been fluffy and glistening only moments before, hot on his heels. the solid land that met his feet was like a blessing. looking back, he saw that the avalanche had slowed, but it still plowed into him when he stopped, washing over his head and smothering him. when the movement stopped the world was dark around him. the snow lay all around, suffocating, entrapping. He spared an errant thought for his companion and began to scratch and claw at the snow above him. he didnt know how much time had passed when his head broke the surface, he couldnt distinguish between minutes and hours. all he knew was that before he had been sucking at the air around him, uselessly searching for oxygen that was no longer available. the next moment his hand found something it had not been expecting. not a cold, merciless, unabiding surface above him, but open space. desperate, he had flailed, shoving his body at the cieling until the rest of it gave way and he could breathe once more. he didnt know where Adrian was, hadnt seen him after the snow had hit. he took several minutes to simply breathe in the luxiorius oxygen that he had always taken for granted. once he had steadied himself he looked around and found the forest a few yards in front of him. it remained untouched by the snow, but something was wrong. smoke curled up from somewhere in the forest and he could smell burning wood. Aaron's eyes widened and he looked up at the steadily lightening sky with a furocious scowl on his face. "Youve got to be freaking kidding me. a fire? A freaking fire? God, I HATE mornings."

((Oh dear. I'm sorry for being behind, guys! *shakes fist at sky* Life, Y U keep me from internet?!)) Adrian looked wildily around. The snow began to colapse around him, and he ran as fast as he could, trying to keep ahead of the relentless avalanche. He hoped his companion was doing the same, but he couldn't spare the time to check. He ran as long as he could, and as he was about to colapse, his feet reached solid ground. He fell to his knees in relief, only to be covered by the fallen snow. He began to claw around, holding as much precious oxygen in his lungs as he could. His vision began to go black, and he could still not find the surface. With his last bit of strength, he surged upwards. His hand encountered open space. Hardly believing his luck, he shoved the snow off himself. He lay on the snow, breathing as deep of breaths as he could manage. He heard someone doing the same thing somewhere near, and he looked around fuzzily. He knew it was Aaron when he heard him speak something about a fire. A fire? Oh god, was an avalanche not enough? Adrian staggered to his feet. "Fire?" He asked. "Really?" It would make sense. All the gamemakers were trying to do was kill them after all.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

(Looks right to me.) Astrid reached the bank and turned to help the other girl. She hoped she wasn't too far ahead of the others. One of them seemed rather close to her anyhow. "It's not much farther. You can make it!"

alannathelioness — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:17:35 +0000

Zoe looked around, catalogueing who had made it to the lake and who she didn't see. There weren't that many. Perhaps there was another water source around? ...She definitely hoped so. The gamemakers wouldn't kill that many people this quickly, would they? (sorry for the short post. and sorry for not being around very much. I've been pretty busy! I'll try a bit harder though, I would hate to see this thread die.)

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 14:25:43 +0000

Chloe dragged herself onto the beach in relief, glad she was out of the water. And alive. She stood, dripping wet, and looked around, trying to see who had made it and who had not. The numbers seemed grim, but wasn't everything about the Games grim? ((Lame post is really, really, lame....))

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 16:14:29 +0000

Callista splashed onto the beach, immediately checking to make sure her bow and arrows were still present. They were. She looked around, seeing a few others, girls, and the flames still licking the trees on the other side of the lake. She sat down on the sand, and paused to take a sip from her water. It was the first night, and the Gamemakers had already cause two disasters, quickly narrowing the playing field. What was going on?

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:07:03 +0000

Zoe sat on the bank, watching everyone around her. Kaden and the two girls she had been talking to survived, as well as some others. Why had the gamemakers killed so many people, so quickly? ....Had they heard the girl's rebellious comment, even through the jammer? No, that couldn't be. She was still alive. This had to be one of the quickest games she had seen. A small package materialized in air above her head, and floated down to her. She grabbed it from the air, wondering why her donors had sent her something. ...She wasn't in danger... She opened it quickly, and looked inside. It was a small bottle of some sort of salve. Strange. Just as she was about to put the package in her backpack, a small piece of paper fluttered out. She unfolded it, confused. It looked like her mother's handwriting. "Rebellion in district 7," it read. "Be careful." That would explain it. The capitol was punishing the tributes for something a district had done. And...weren't both of the district tributes dead? She would have to be extra careful, everyone would. The capitol would be watching. She walked over to Callista. She helped the girl from the sand, handing her the paper so that no one could see the pass. Especially none of the cameras.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:11:34 +0000

Callista looked up almost in surprise as Zoe approached her. She had spent the past minutes terrified that the Gamemakers were after her directly, for her death. Surely the others knew that the Gamemakers would not be pleased. Zoe reached out a hand and helped her out of the now-wet patch of sand. As she stood, she felt the girl press a small piece of paper into her hand. The look in Zoe's eyes was obvious: Don't let the cameras see. She glanced down at the paper. "Rebellion in district 7. Be careful." Of course, Callista realized. If their was an uprising in the districts, the Games would have to be vamped up, and the rebel district's tributes would be destroyed. She glanced up at Zoe and gave her head a slight shake. Please understand I had no idea about this. I'm not here to rebel against the Capitol. Do not see me as a threat. Let me live. She thought it over and over, staring into Zoe's eyes.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:55:20 +0000

Zoe stared at the girl, trying to understand what she was attempting to communicate. The slight fear in her eyes cleared it up. Zoe nodded slightly. She wasn't going to kill the girl, as long as she didn't endanger herself or Kaden. She didn't feel like killing anyone right now. The gamemakers were doing her job for her. ...If the careers had survived, would she join back up with them? an errant thought asked. She shook her head, clearing it. She couldn't think things like that, especially now. What she needed to was survive. "Who survived?" she asked gruffly, looking around. She was trying to spot the other girl they had been talking to before, to show her the paper as well. She might as well know too.

Tuffysgirl — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:34:19 +0000

Chloe coughed, holding her sleeve over her mouth as she did so. The smoke had burned her throat, and she swallowed alot of water trying to swim across the lake. "Here," she said when Zoe spoke, her voice rough.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

alannathelioness — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:07:46 +0000

Zoe walked over, kneeling down to help the girl up. She didn't sound to good. As she did, she handed her the paper, so no one else could see. Too bad the salve she had received didn't work on voices. And none of them had gotten burnt either. It really was a conundrum as to what it was for. She would save it, it would probably be useful later. Zoe stared at Chloe, hoping that she didn't say anything outloud about the paper. It wasn't something she wanted to capitol to know that they knew.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Tuffysgirl — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 02:36:15 +0000

Chloe glanced down at her hand, seeing the note Zoe had given her. She kept it hidden as she glanced at what it said - Rebellion in District 7. Be careful - and felt her stomach drop. She glanced at Zoe, silently letting her know she'd read it.

Re: Rise of the Fallen (Hunger Games RP)

Chestergirl28 — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:37:13 +0000

Callista watched the other girl- Chloe- read the note. What would she do? What would they all do? The District 7 tributes... surely they had been killed, whether by the fire or the avalanche, or other tributes. But what about the rest of them? If 7 was rebelling, surely there were others. And if there were others, then would more tributes be punished for their district's choice? Callista thought back to 9... no. There was no rebellion there. Of course, there was no shortage of citizens unhappy with the Capitol, but no rebellion. She was safe by that account, at least.
