Arena 07 Death Post - Week Three

[gamemakers]

-WEEK THREE-


INSIDE THE ARENA[S]

The long night ends abruptly; no gradual sunrise or early shadows of morning. The daylight comes on like a light switch, though not entirely the same in both. In the candy-coated sugar arena, the day comes on like the flick of a whip. Instant. Immediate. Almost violent. The light is harsh and vivid and the music seems to grow just a little bit louder than it was just before. In the barren desert arena, the light seems to glide through the air as if the hand of some god were sliding the sun across the sky with its thumb. An ease from light to dark, if compared to the other side. Still impossibly quick for anything possible in nature.

This does not last.

Not by a long shot.

If a person could time it, the light would come and the light would go in a steady on-off-on-off rhythm every three hours. The light switches on and remains for three hours, and then retreats just as quickly as it came. Night lasts for three more. Just as the impossibly long day and the impossibly long night that came before, these tiny three-hour-long micro days of light and darkness continue on in relentless, stop-watch-like rhythm.

As ever still, the tributes continue to fall. The canons sound throughout each arena and the faces are displayed across the sky as the anthem of the Capitol plays:



As usual, tributes will be seen in the Capitol, only a few days after after an arena death.



Arena1: Candyland

Nighttime has not lessened the quickened pace of the decay that has long taken hold of the poisoned and fallen bodies that litter the arena. What remains still remain are almost entirely beyond recognition by now. A sticky-sweet moss flourishes in the still moist caverns of the bodies, and clusters of sugar-dusted gumdrops are beginning to show beneath the pickled spoiled remains of flesh. There is a sickly sweet smell that comes from them. Sugar and bile. Its an acidic stench that leaves a sour taste in the mouth if you start to get anywhere close.

**Until otherwise stated by the mods, day/night will last 3 hours each!



Arena2: The Desert

While the doki-doki of sugarland on the other side don't seem to mind the sudden change from day to night, here in the wastes of the desert, the animal kingdom does not seem to be making the unnatural adjustment to their new schedules. Unfortunately, the response seems to be a general if not dramatic increase in aggression all around. Critters typically fond of the night time are especially agitated right now, at unexpected and unpredictable times, often very violently.

**Until otherwise stated by the mods, day/night will last 3 hours each!


DESERT ARENA CORNUCOPIA. ←links to thread

DEATH BUYOUTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS. ←links to thread

Any character above may be "bought" out of death by another character for the price of 400 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.

If you would like to volunteer your character for death before they are rolled, you are free to do so at any time. Please just let a mod know in the Death Buyout thread so your character(s) can be properly removed from the arena!


SPONSOR ITEMS. ←links to thread

2 days ration of food || 20 Credits
2 days ration of water || 20 Credits

LIFE IN THE CAPITOL.

Fabric prices are still at a record high. An unfortunate time for the weather to drop to unseasonably cool temperatures. Rainfall every day has amounted to inches. The typical afternoon showers of the mountain summers have been more like afternoon downpours.

That does not seem to be the case across Panem, however. A large fire in Distinct 2 caused the temporary evacuation of a Peacemaker training facility the other day. Sources report that the fire was caused by lightning and bushfire. No Peacemakers were seriously injured in the fire.


OUT OF CHARACTER & MOD NOTES.

We have a new How's My Driving posted up for anyone who is interested! Remember to give crit around if you want to get some! Spread the love around. Be groovy to eachother.

Happy Hunger Games!

Re: MOD CONTACT

[itwasrhetorical]

Glinda's in group 1.

I'm not bothered if the death roll still stands but I'd just like to know how to deal with this.

PLOT!

[gamemakers]

Go crazy~

Re: PLOT!

[celebrityskinned]

WHO WANTS TO DIE IN ARENA 1.

Venus is happy to kill you, and I would love to start racking up a body count for Howard. I'm happy to toss some really creative ideas at you for how to kill your characters off if Howard does it.

Also Punchy is hanging out with the Tims and AndrAIa and trying to jack the screens. Come help him out!

Eponine - Arena 2

[gardienne]

Ok - so it looks like Eponine's closest allies are dying (except Mona - yay(? - I have a feeling Mona would stab Eps in the back at the first chance she got!))

So she needs friends - if anyone is willing to provide some?

And always, she is on the look out to be scavenging that food and water from the rest of you!

Re: PLOT!

[sleeplessinalternia]

So it looks like Karkat is dead in Arena 1. Anyone want to off him?

QUICK, SOMEONE GIVE HIS MURDERER A PITCHFORK.

Clint Barton

[from_a_distance]

Clint is not at all going to be pleased about Coulson dying on him AGAIN, so if anybody wants to meet an aggressive, angry assassin in Arena 1 and die or not die by his hand (your choice), let me know!

Ian and Pruna! Anyone want to die?

[wantwhatiwant]

Both are still alive.

Pruna is in Arena 1 and will be looking to kill some people, as she hasn't in this arena yet. Plus with Sandy dying she's going to be angry. So anyone who has some life long wish to die via baby assassin, she's you're girl

Also any non death plots are good, once shes alone she will be wandering and can be persuaded to work with others (though I can't promise she wont betray you)

Ian on the other hand is in Arena 2 and trying not to freeze or boil and is generally not having much fun. He's not one for killing unless in self defense but will be up for alliances and stuffs!

Buying Ian out of death

[splendid_roman]

I only have one character and I'm not ready for him to die yet, so is there anyone willing to buy him out of death? I still have about 1200 credits, so I can repay the favour.
