Arena 07 Death Post - Week Two

[gamemakers]

- WEEK TWO-


INSIDE THE ARENA[S]

Regardless of which sky they find above them, it's night time inside both arenas. An endless night to match an endless day. And now that the screens started showing up, there doesn't seem to be a stop to them.

We wouldn't want you to miss out on all the action on the other side, after all.

Over the past few days, a few cannons have sounded. More tributes fallen:



From now on, tributes will return to the Capitol as they normally would after an arena death.

Arena1: Candyland

Even in the darkness this place is cheerfully....odd. The long sunny days have made everything a little more melted and sticky than when it all began.

There is also a noticeable stench coming from area surrounding the cornucopia where the remains of 45-some-odd bodies still lay, rotting in full view of everything. If anyone cares to take note of it, they might notice that all the bodies of the tributes injected with the poison are decaying rather spectacularly. Molds of various colours have spread across decaying flesh, pockets of vivid, oozing slime seeps from old wounds and various orifices. The Doki-Doki have also taken a liking to gathering up "pieces" to make nests out of.

Sweet dreams and enjoy your long night in Candyland!

**Until otherwise stated by the mods, it will remain night inside this arena!

Arena2: The Desert

Here in the desert, the temperature has dropped dramatically. Winds howl through the night for hours on end and then seem to stop suddenly and completely. In the still, quiet silence, sound can carry for miles, so when you hear movement near by... the sounds of scratching, breathing, scurrying and scampering, remember that tributes are not your only danger in this place. There are many terrible things that lurk in the dark.

**Until otherwise stated by the mods, it will remain night inside this arena!

19K is where this week'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.


DESERT ARENA CORNUCOPIA. ←links to thread

Cornucopia rolls for this arena will happen weekly. Successes results will be worth it. Fail results will increase the number of times your character's name will be entered in the following Death Roll.

WEEK TWO 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!

GROUP1

The Psiioniic/Helmsman of District 2
Diana Ladris of District 5
Lady of District 6
Lin Mayuzumi of District 10
Dirk Strider of District 11
Philip J Coulson of District 12

GROUP2


Edward Nygma of District1
Shion of District 4
Ele of District 5
Bruce Banner of District 7
Thane Krios of District 8
Nikola Tesla of District 10

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 200 Credits. No character may buy themselves out of their own death with their own credits. 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.

This is also a great place to let the mods know if you would like to off your character early, for any reason. Which anyone is allowed to do at any time for no credit cost.


SPONSOR ITEMS. ←links to thread

2 days ration of food || 10 Credits
2 days ration of water || 10 Credits

LIFE IN THE CAPITOL.

News from the districts rarely makes headlines, but when the price of rayon fabric sky rockets sometime early in the week, it's only a matter of time before rumor and eventually a full blown report breaks on the news of a factory explosion in District 8.

67 people were killed in the accident.


OUT OF CHARACTER & MOD NOTES.

Just a reminder about how the screes work in the arenas: if your character finds themselves nears a screen (which are EVERYWHERE), it will light up. Each screen is personalize to the tribute viewing it to show highlights of awful things happening to your character's friends in the other arena. In the candy arena, the screens are (before they turn on) flat, jewel colored squares set into the terrain here and there. In the desert they are behind grates.

The scenes are edited to look as awful as possible for the viewer. And of course, having a bright TV screen, often with sound, go on right next to your position isn't necessarily the beacon you want going out into the now dark world around you.

You can either mine through threads or talk to the other players for what they might see. The feeds are generally not live (unless live happens to be them being gutted by Doki-dokis) so at any point, anything that's happened is free game. And it can be edited, so a character sleeping at an awkward angle, played on loop so they look dead? Go for it.

PLOT

[gamemakers]

Go crazy~

MAXIMUS - GROUP 2

[gluteus]

Maximus is up for killing characters who are dicks to him, and he's going to be using that term broadly, but he's feeling too bad after his thread with Wyatt to target people who are obviously not meant to be here. That leaves you two options!

1) If your character is a dick and needs to die, Maximus will helpfully do it for you

2) If your character is not, they can run into Maximus and he reluctantly lets them go

3) If your character is a child, Maximus will actively attempt to help and protect them!

Sherlock is dead and will be sending sponsor gifts to a bunch of people.

R || Warm Bodies - GROUP 2 DESERT ARENA

[shambler]

I'm looking to have R feed at the Cornucopia: this means he'll be much less likely to zombie-attack after and will be more sociable (that said, he's pretty gullible and willing to work together with other Tributes even if they're plotting to off him later). He'll only attack in self-defense or if he's hungry later down the line.

- If you'd like R to do a zombie attack, it'd probably have to be before he feeds (he could also kill your character if you want). Bites can come with infection and zombification. Zombification and if you want R to eat the brain and get some memories is up to the other player.

- I'd like to have R lose a lot of his loot while he's wandering around the desert. So basically have it be scattered? I'm always down to misunderstandings and all that. The only thing he'd want to keep is an (empty) tin can and the sunglasses. Zombie's got to keep his hoarding skills sharpened.

- Would like to have him possibly run into the wildlife with someone?

Re: PLOT

[amourtician]

i want jay to have to kill someone in self-defence, preferably messily. mercy kills also accepted (the more botched and messier the better!)

LADY OSCAR

[thefemaleson]

So I totally failed on plotting last week, and I'd like to remedy that this week. So!

Oscar's likely to try to ally with someone or several someones, at least temporarily, especially someone who seems to have desert survival skills that she lacks. Alternately, she might try to 'take someone under her wing', especially if they're young and/or not a fighter.

I'd like to have her kill someone, either because they're trying to kill her, or essentially my accident - they surprise her at night or something like that.

Or... other things? It's early and my brain is slow. But I like plotting.

Murderer for hire!

[carnagecarnival]

As with before, Initiate is always down for murder! He can do it brutal and cruel or nice and quick! No motivations required, he just wants to bring death. There can even be a fight before the actual death happens. All is game! Just let me know here. :)

Edit: Maiming is also an option!

Jim - Group 2 & Peggy - Group 1

[captjtkirk]

Guys I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING A FROSTED FLAKE LAST WEEK.

Anyway Jim is using his body currently to keep Gaila alive through the power of a wicked sunburn seeing how the dark isn't doing her much good, but he's totally up for charity, or being shanked even though he has nothing currently to steal.

Peggy is wherever the group 1 Avengers have been camping out and may have the temptation to stab something in the face if she can't get the singing to stop. She also has a godawful stomachache and dehydration problems so she is HIGHLY on edge and if Clint gave her that weapon, weaponized.

Both are up for anything and new CR.

ANYONE ASK FOR DEATH

[polyturtle]

Donatello is up for killing any character that is up for death. Or even not up for death. Just anyone. XD

Re: PLOT

[gardienne]

First - on the news from District 8 - WHOOPS. Cal, if/when she finds out, will definitely be blaming herself.

Second - wow, Eps is alive for another week. Currently, I presume she's still hanging out with Parker and Mona and Pierrette (I think?). She's not really up for killing people - but she is definitely on the look out for people to nick supplies off. So if anyone would like to have some of their supplies pillaged by Eponine (and/or (possibly) her bunch of lovely ladies) please do let me know! (group 2 btw)

PRIM - has too many points. RUBY - Group 2. BARBARA - group one.

[grandmas_gurl]

I'll be back from my trip on the fifth, and hopefully posting about with all the freaking activity~~~~ I want to do all the things, as a result. ALL OF THEM.

Ruby will be searching about, trying to hunt. She needs a bow to do that best, but she'll do her best to hunt with a knife.

AND AS I SAID... Prim has faaaaaaaaaaaaar too many points. If anyone needs her for a plot based things (or anyone in her arena needs something)

ASHA, BRUCE, and MONA; 1, 2, 2

[hasacondition]

Asha is in group 1 and is up for busting heads if need be! I'd also be up for her running into people without murdering them, but this would most likely apply to little kids and she'd spend the whole time offering to mercy kill.

Bruce is in group 2 and is dying this week! Anybody want to kill him?

Mona is in group 2 and somehow still alive! If anyone's dying in group 2, she will likely try and steal clothes off your corpse, so that's something to work with!

Re: PLOT

[taseyousupernanny]

Well it's that time again... time to kill Phill. (I swear he's becoming the Avenger's Kenny)

In any case... Massive Doki-doki attack at the base camp for maximum trauma? Yes yes?

Orphaner Dualscar - GROUP 2

[shellfishlovver]

Dualscar is around for murdering purposes, he honestly doesn't need much of a reason to try killing people but he's not entirely beyond reason!

Also I feel like I should mention that he is part FISH and being in the desert is really not doing him any favours, poor precious manfish. MOSTLY I'd just really like to get him out there a bit more so if you have anything you'd like me to throw him at, I'm all ears.

Stephanie & Topher | Group 1

[amoral_savior]

They both live another week!

I'm tossing Topher's name into the ring for people who may need to be killed. Of course it would more than likely be accidental, but I'd like to have a bit of fun with him after having some blood on his hands.

Lindsey McDonald | Arena 2

[hartless_cowboy]

Hiiiii. Lindsey now has a 9 foot scythe. :D

Does anyone want to meet this death-god Lindsey? He's dressed all in black too (Batman!)

Bucky, Group 1

[deadthenred]

Classes started for me last week so it wasn't great to plot in, but now I'm much more aware of my schedule.

As a result of that, Bucky's wandering the arena, but much more methodically than last time. I am going to buy him a knife and possibly have him get drunk on candy at some point, so if anyone wants to run into him!! Also, he can kill people who are big jerkfaces or in self defense or by accident, he has no particular objection to killing.

Marius - Group 2

[saisamour]

Marius doesn't really care if he dies, BUT he will be trying to protect people! So if anyone wants to be protected by a suicidal 19th century French lawyer? Ladies and kids get plus points, but he'll basically ally with anyone he thinks doesn't deserve to be a part of the games and he will fight so that they could win. It doesn't even matter if your character is actually an ass and is just a really good actor; Marius is dumb like that lol.

He'll be sharing half of any food and drink he owns and shooting off dangerous animals with his awesome crossbow. :3

Damian Wayne / Group 1

[bratwonder]

Damian is trying to be a good little ninja assassin and not do a whole lot of killing. But! He'd be more than happy to badly injure anyone who might piss him off, attack him first, or anyone he catches picking on others. It would be a lot of fun for him to hurt someone who figured a kid would be an easy target, or if he got to help someone out of a tight spot (particularly if they were being attacked by someone else), so if anyone would be up for that, I'd love to play it out with you!

He's not so big on allying with people besides the ones he knows from home, unfortunately, but he would look out for anyone who can't defend themselves or happens to be around his age, so that could be a thing, too!

BECK - GROUP 1!

[amplifying]

I'm up for doing anything ESPPEEECIIALLLLY after this hiatus, ugh.

Honestly, I have no idea what to do with Beck right now. I know he got a bag with some weapons at the beginning, but in regards to him getting a boo-boo or not, I'm not sure. I'd rather him walk away with a boo-boo than be boo-boo-less, so we can always go with that!

Plan away plan away plan away all! I'm up for anythiiing!

Also to anyone who was posting with me before I left, do you want to continue? I would love to, but I can understand if you would rather not...!

Orc group 2

[paidinbeer]

Orc really needs to socialize this week, so that he doesn't just accept that everyone in the arena is his enemy like they said in the testing room. He's less likely to attack girls or kids on sight but so long as someone tries to talk to him before he flies into a rage he's fine.

Harley Group 2

[revvinguptheharley]

Harley is much more eager to do things that will please the audience this time around (Meaning brutal killings)

She also has a good cache of loot on her for anyone who wants to try and take it from her.

She's a very social creature though and when not following Donnie around to encourage his crazy, she'll be happy to swing by for a visit.

Lin Mayuzumi (Group 1), Sigma Klim (Group 2)

[futilecycle]

Lin is dead dead dead this week! :D I don't think I'll be bailing her out. I've already had some offers for people to kill Lin, but anyone want to put up with a screechy Prima Donna before she's offed?

Sigma was successful at the Cornucopia and lives to see another day, on the other hand. I'd love to have some new CR with the old man, he hasn't met too many new people lately. It'd be especially interesting if someone managed to piss him off so much he got violent, and that would take some real skill. But I'm all for positive CR as well!

Sandy "Doki bait" Group 1

[justoutrunyou]

Thanks to Sandy's mangled (Possibly amputated leg) She's pretty good bait for the Doki Doki meatbags. Pruna is keeping her alive for now so it's safe to say anyone who wants to visit with Sandy they'll have to visit with Pruna as well unless Pruna's wandered away for some reason.

Clint, group 1; Nikola, group 2

[from_a_distance]

Clint is going to be dealing with some serious anger issues once Coulson dies again, so if anybody wants to run into a pissed off former assassin, let me know.

Nikola...needs to die, and as he's not all vampiric at the moment, he's basically just a walking stick insect with minimal fighting skills, no weapons, and no supplies. (He can definitely provoke an attack if that's necessary.)

Venus, Punchy and Howard

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

In Arena 1, I have two people who would love to get their kill on. Howard's got a creative way of killing people if you want to plan it out (hint, it involves explosions and those six fire-starter kits he's packing), and Venus is more basic 'punch shit and kill it'.

Venus' medical needs are taken care of for right now, so she's wandering around the Arena, but since she realized how vulnerable she is, she's going to be looking for allies. Anyone want CR with an endearing but ruthless celebrity heroine?

Punchy is hanging out with the Tim Drakes in Arena 2, and while he's not up for killing, he is probably going to try and figure out how the screens work. Any and all forms of CR welcome, although I should note that Punchy has a strict no-kill policy.
