Arena 07 Death Post - Week One

[gamemakers]

- WEEK ONE -

INSIDE THE ARENA[S].

Arena1: Candyland

The thunderous cacophony of cannon fire that announces the end of the bloodbath of the cornucopia lasts over a minute solid. Boom. Boom. Boom. An unprecedented death toll of 47 tributes leave bodies scattered throughout the playing field, and in an usual change of protocol, still remain where they fell: lifeless and already starting to spoil in the sticky sweet sun.

Hours pass, and there is still no sign of the hovercrafts which typically retrieve the bodies. A few hours more and many tributes may start to realize that they are never coming. In this particular arena, no bodies will be retrieved by the Capitol, and it will not be a pleasant thing. The poison and the sugar don't seem to be mixing well, and everything is rotting far faster than it should...

The first day's sunshine is relentless. And when it seems like it should be coming to an end, the day keeps on stretching. On and on, past the point where night should have come. When the anthem starts to play, it should mean dusk, but the sun is still high in the sky. Brilliant. Glaring. Unending. It makes the faces in the sky harder to see... but they are far from forgotten.

Until further notice, there will be no nightfall in this arena.

Arena2: The Desert

Here, the heat is oppressive , but the only warm welcome seems to be a face full of hot sand. Wind, sun, and dust and heat and emptiness are all that can be found here. But as drastically different as this arena may seem, there are some unfortunate similarities.

Day and night are not normal here, and the sun remains high in the sky, making sleep very difficult and offering no relief from the heat. In fact, the temperature seems to slowly be rising. But night will not come.... not for a while now.

Try to keep hydrated. If you can.

There will be no body clean up in this arena, either when the tributes start to fall. They do not seem to react as badly to the elements here, though.

What may offer some aid in this place, if you get lucky enough to be the first ones to find it.... are all the items inside the cornucopia.

13G is where this arena's cornucopia can be found. If you would like your character to try their chances at finding something, please reply to the proper thread below.

SPECIAL NOTE: Cornucopia results are all rolled at one time, because there is often a limit on supplies and we don't want the first repliers to be the ones to get all the rewards. As such, YOU MUST REPLY TO THE CORNUCOPIA THREAD BY NOON - 12:00 P.M. (MST) - ON WEDNESDAY.

WEEK ONE DEATH ROLLS.

The following tributes have been randomly selected, and will die within the upcoming week of the arena. Players are encouraged to use this post to plot out deaths however they like!

ARENA1/GROUP1

Lady of District 6
Dr. Rebecca Holiday of District 8
Charlotte "Lottie" LaBouff of District 8
Callista Ming of District 6
Atticus Bell of District 1


ARENA2/GROUP2

Blaine Anderson of District 2
Donatello Hamato of District 9
Dr. Alastor Grey of District 2
Gaila of Orion of District 11
Matthew 'Punchy' O'Connor of District 6

Because our cast size, the list of active/alive tributes is going to be given it's own post each week. Because it's a long list. You can find it over here.

DEATH BUYOUTS. ←links to thread
Any character above may be "bought" out of death by another character for the price of 100 Credits. Player Characters without enough credits are allowed to pool credits from other player characters, so long as it has been discussed by all parties.

If a character is being bought out of death, please respond to the appropriate thread below, before the next death roll post, so that both players and mods are on the same page of who is really dying, and who... might not be.


SPONSOR ITEMS. ←links to thread

Prices for sponsor items this week. Please comment to the appropriate thread below if your character is purchasing a sponsor item for themselves or someone else.

50' rope: 10
Folding knife: 10

LIFE IN THE CAPITOL.

Summer is here and Oceanus Water Park would like to announce it's summer savings sale two admission tickets for the price of one on Mondays, and Wednesdays!

Pier 12 is also offering special prices on drinks and games if you come in dressed as your favorite tribute!

OUT OF CHARACTER & MOD NOTES.

Just a few in-game technicalities. Cannon fire after the death of ANY tribute will be heard in both arenas. Each 'night' during the anthem and the display of fallen faces, can be seen in both arenas as well. Meaning yes, even though you can't see half of them, you will still know that they are dying. (Again.)

[savedbyasong]

Not really a question just a I don't know where else to put this but as of this thread Shion is going to be a zombie which I understand puts him out of the running and lowers his score

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Okay, who wants to kill this kid?

(He won't even have to be naked this time!)

[doesnotsew]

Murderer for hire!

[carnagecarnival]

SO. Those in group 2, would any of you like your characters to be (brutally?) murdered or maimed? If so my guy is here to serve! Fights on a more even ground are also open for discussion. :)

Re: Murderer for hire!

[pythianjudgment]

Adding in a note that Terezi can be roped into this, too, if you'd like! She's a devious lure/distraction/whatever may be needed.
