Arena 07 Death Post

[gamemakers]

INSIDE THE ARENA
Arena Information: Arena 07-1 || Arena 07-2
Upcoming Week: Arena Week Six


Inside The Arena:

The worms have finally gone back to wherever the hell they came from. Occasionally, a ground tremor shakes the earth in certain areas; signs they may not have gone far.

When darkness falls at midnight, the night suddenly seems to shift back into something that resembles normal. There is a sunrise; dusty pinks and yellows in the desert, vibrant pinks and oranges that slide into morning. The day comes and lasts as long as it normally word in the outside world. And then it's night once more. Time seems to be behaving normally again.

Who knows how long that will last...

As ever still, the tributes continue to fall. The canons sound throughout each arena with every stop of a beating heart. Every 24 hours, the anthem plays and shows in the recent days these are the faces in the sky:

Alex Rider of District 4
Blaine Anderson of District 2
Bruce Wayne of District 6
Callista Ming of District 6
Charles "Orc" Merriman of District 10
Daniel "Danny" Williams of District 2
Daniel Jackson of District 10
Edward Cullen of District 1
Eliot Spencer of District 3
Enjolras of District 5
James T. Kirk of District 4
Karkat Vantas of District 1
Lady Oscar François de Jarjayes of District 8
Matthew 'Punchy' O'Connor of District 6
Pepper Potts of District 6
Some ovMennet of District 8
The Signless of District 12


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

Arena1: Candyland:

The connection to the desert arena lies deep within the castle. Immovable bars separate this side from the other, and the connection remains. But anyone who lingers here too long may find the cave feeling with water, toxic gasses seeping into the air, or some nasty little cave creature hungry for your flesh.

**Until otherwise stated by the mods, days/nights are normal, 24 hour cycles!

Arena2: The Desert

The connection to the candy arena lies deep within the caves of the mountain. Immovable bars separate this side from the other, and the connection remains. But anyone who lingers here too long may find the cave feeling with water, toxic gasses seeping into the air, or some nasty little cave creature hungry for your flesh.

**Until otherwise stated by the mods, days/nights are normal, 24 hour cycles!

Desert Arena Cornucopia

The cornucopia is nowhere to be seen this week.

Death Buyout: 1600 Credits

Any character listed in the death roll above may be "bought" out of death by another character for the set amount of credits this week. No character may buy themselves out of their own death using 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.

Please make sure that you respond to the death buyout thread before Saturday, so the mods can make the proper adjustments before the next death roll post goes up. Also keep in mind that if you would like to volunteer your character for death, you are free to do so at any time. They do not have to come up in a death roll to die. Please just let a mod know in the Death Buyout thread so your character(s) can be properly removed from the arena!

CAPITOL UPDATE
Current Weather: Pleasantly warm days, frequent afternoon showers, average of 87
Curfew: Not Strictly Enforced
Restricted Areas: None

Life In The Capitol:

Commercial breaks during the Games have been buzzing with adverts for a new compilation video coming out soon: a greatest hits of past 74 Games; with highlight reals of victors, media clips of Victory Tours and interviews with Caesar Flickerman.

This has brought a little brighter spotlight on mentors here in the Capitol than usual, and caused quite a bit of excitement among diehard Hunger Games fans.

The Games Out Of Character:

Divided the potting threads into Capitol and Arena, to maybe make things easier to find for you all.

If anyone missed the grand sand worm event, you can find it here. As always, you are free to backdate anything!

Happy Hunger Games!

ARENA PLOTTING

[gamemakers]

Make sure to include character relevant information!

-Character's name, current location
-What's going on with them right now?
-What are you wanting to play?

Karis Needleteeth | Group 1, Candyland

[teethofneedles]

Currently roaming and stalking. Willing to hurt and/or provide killing.

Cuthbert Allgood | Arena 1

[tis_allgood]

Bert is wandering near the castle most of the time, but ranging farther to hunt people down and keep from getting bored. He will definitely be up to kill/maim/hurt anyone who wants it. He's still on Gunslinger autopilot at the moment and ignoring his feelings.

I'm, as always, happy to have him kill people. I wouldn't mind having him team up with someone, too, but it might take some wiggling to do that.

[wantedittobeagame]

Would you like him and Adachi to have a confrontation? They did have a pretty glaring conversation before the arena.

Orphaner Dualscar | Arena 2

[shellfishlovver]

Hello hello, as usual Dualscar is here to potentially kill off characters. I put up an open log of him sort of bumbling around angrily and killing Kirk but I'm happy to make the dates on it flexible. I'm up for anything right now!

Ian Chesterton (Group 2) & death by wildlife

[splendid_roman]

Ian is dying this week. He's weak from starvation and dehydration and is going to accidentally run into a group of bison.

Other people can get involved in in this - either fighting off the bison and/or killing Ian (on purpose or accidentally) before the bison/starvation/dehydration get him.


Edit: Please don't delete the subject when replying

Re: Ian Chesterton (Group 2) & death by wildlife

[hartless_cowboy]

If it wasn't a group, Lindsey would've gladly used Ian as a distraction while he hunted down one of those bisons.

But he can't take on a herd. :(

Marius Pontmercy | Arena 2

[saisamour]

Marius is dicking around with Ian Gallagher lmao. Also probably starving himself.

ANYWAY! He's actually getting his wish and dying this week so anyone want to plot death stuff with him? He'll fight back if anyone tries to attack Ian (provided Ian's mun says it's cool for him to be there when marius dies of course), otherwise he's not putting up much of a fight lmao.

Shepard — Group 1

[earthborn]

currently attempting the stealth, and hating every minute of it— perennially still hanging out with Pruna and Sandy, at odd times. She's beginning to see all the faces in the sky and wonder how much longer this can go on.

Oh, and then there's the fact that she's pretty much exclusively been party to killing kids so far. That's going to be really fun to have nightmares about.

But she's tough, and she's biding her time on the theory that the main thing is just not to die or become so crippled as to be useless by the time that biding time is no longer useful and fighting becomes inevitable.

Oh! Also, I still have credits and if anyone really really wants to have their dude bought out of death, I can totally help c:

Asha (GROUP 1) and Mona (GROUP 2)

[skinlotion]

They are both still alive this week!

Asha is getting hungry but still doesn't realize that this stuff is supposed to be candy, so she's safe on that front! She's up for any scuffles or murderings-- I'd really like to get her in a fight this week, if anyone's interested! She's decked out in chainmail like it's 1299 and loving it and is therefore reverting to her old ways of pillaging and reaving for supplies, which can be a reason for her to attack basically anyone.

Mona is still alive somehow because she's a sneaky little cockroach! However, Eponine is dying which means she'll have to fend for herself (or, more likely, find someone knew to latch onto). She'll also be going around trying to steal stuff off of dead bodies (stuff includes clothes, since she's still dressed like Regina George) so if anyone is cool with their body being messed with, lemmie know! (This may legit include shit like removing teeth and hair, Mona is really fucking weird)

Tohru Adachi | Candyland

[wantedittobeagame]

Adachi's got his little mini-camp set up by the milkshake river, and he's been pretty good (other than I think he may get a little munched on by Some; not sure yet). This needs to change.

...and I feel horrible, but he really needs to be forced into killing someone this time around. :B

[onthedot]

Peggy is boned but still alive and could very much use a living person as an ally since no one is left in Arena 1 she knows. Barring that, she's very likely going to be going around smashing Doki and generally showing a level of frustrated paranoia that is unhealthy.

Sandy Marko (Marked for Death) Arena 1

[justoutrunyou]

So Sandy has been getting dragged around the Arena by Pruna

Who in turn has been spending time with Howard and Shepherd.

Sandy's leg is a mangled mess but so far she has yet to consider the option of suicide.

I have two options as I see it.

(A) Sandy finally succumbs to the madness of the constant singing, pain and horrible melting world and pitches herself into a burning rainbow of death. Sandy will have finally hit bottom...probably. I might be able to drag her lower.
This will most likely put a strain on her relationship with Pruna who has to this point been her best friend and ally.

Or

(B) Having been hardened by weeks of pain, little sleep and having to rely on Pruna Sandy goes down swinging when someone catches her alone or attacks her and Pruna.

What do you guys think?

Donatello Hamato/ Arena 2

[polyturtle]

WELL, Don is still kicking around, still injured but more than willing to kill off your characters. He'll be getting some medicine to help him out so he'll be recovering from some of those for stronger killing! Uh oh.

Sigma Klim, Group 2

[futilecycle]

Sigma is dead this week. Uh, I still have 420 of his credits and 100 of Lin's to trade with someone willing to buy him out, but that price is HIGH so I doubt that will happen.

Edit: Maximus will be killing Sigma this week!

If anyone wants a last-minute old man to manipulate befriend, fight with, or kill your dude, I'm down with that, too.

Maximus || Gladiator || Group 2

[gluteus]

OKAY SO

Max is going around killing people to feed to R, the Zombie, and I'm buying him out of death.

He'll be killing Eponine and Sigma and if anyone else wants death by gladiator I will be more than happy to oblige you, unless you are a kid or otherwise helpless. (Eponine doesn't count because she's adult-aged and he doesn't like her lmao)

Doc Holiday | Group 1 | Death Death Death

[doc_holi]

She's up for death roll again, folks! XD If anyone wants to buy her out, I have no problems with it (though wow the price on that) but otherwise.

WHO WANTS TO KILL HER??

Clint Barton // Arena 1

[from_a_distance]

Clint has been hanging out with Peggy and Tony, though mostly Peggy, looking for the edge of the arena.

Also, he needs to die, so who wants him? (He is also available for mutual death, given that he's a difficult man to kill.)

VENUS AND HOWARD

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

So, Howard and Diana will be continuing their killing spree. Anyone game for explosions? Or possibly wondering what's wrong with kids these days?

Venus will also be going around killing people. My characters are kind of monofocused this time.

I'll be putting open posts up for both of them. :)

Lindsey McDonald | Arena 2 - He's out to get you

[hartless_cowboy]

Lindsey's still alive! And he's starting to go a little crazy from the heat and cold cycles of the days and nights, but at least things are a little more predictable now and no crazy worms to dodge.

His Scythe is still worn, and he's dwindling down on his food rations now, so he'll be out hunting again.

But rather than sharing, he'll try to kill anyone who crosses his path. Spectacular fights, anyone?

Stephanie Brown | Group 1

[blondevigilante]

Steph is being bought out of death \o\

Poking for a run-in with Big Tim in the caves. Other than that she's open like 7/11

Gaila | Group 2, Desert arena

[freebitchbaby]

Gaila. She has a little camp hidden in a sand dune.

She's obviously twigged on now that Jim's gone and she's on her own. So, now she's going in for the kill as she doesn't have anyone to focus her attentions on positively. She did get bought out of a death roll so I'm down for her having near death experiences.

Mostly, she's intending on wandering about and trying to find tributes that are hungry and thirsty seeing as she has an abundance of food and water at her camp, luring them back and then killing them when they're relaxed. She'll be mostly telling them that she's a mirage or a figment of their imagination.

But yeah, that aside, I'm down for any interactions with her!

Re: ARENA PLOTTING

[edsidlemirth]

Edward Nygma is in Arena 2.

Want to chime in on this even though I won't be able to play for a day or two, yet. Eddie is still alive, skulking around and trying to make a good show, and if he can track anyone down, he'll attempt ambush and other such sneaky things. If you're interested and okay with me being a little slow out of the gate, let me know!

I am not opposed to him getting taken out, and likewise if anyone wants their character taken out, let me know.

Pruna group 1

[knifewithnoname]

Pruna is still travelling with Sandy until she dies. Once Sandy is dead she will be alone and angry. And up for killing anyone who crosses her path except Howard and maybe Shepard.

So anyone wanting to fight/be robbed/need to be killed by a teeny tiny assassin brat.

Or anyone who wants a assassin brat to kill for them, she's pretty open to bribery...

Ian Gallagher | Group 2

[wantwhatiwant]

Ian is still wandering the desert, escaping from R when Marius dies. Also Mickey is dying this time round and since he will see the picture in the sky...

He wont kill for fun but he will fight to defend himself. He's up for helping people as well.
