This Week In The Arena.

That's right everyone. One day of Arena 08 down, and wasn't it a doozy?! Its great to see some classic faces in among the ranks, with the return of six past victors, including recent arena winner Maximus Decimus Meridius. There's the old saying 'break a leg' for good luck, but that seems mildly inappropriate at present date so maybe we'll just settle on the classic.

For the largest cornucopia in Hunger Games history, the death toll was not nearly as high as many anticipated. Only a few fallen tributes, but a healthy dose of injuries, we're pretty sure that jungle is going to put people at a high risk of infection. Slow kills are sometimes the worst to watch, don't you think?

Two hours into the arena, we saw the sonic fences turn on for the first time. The fences work on a grid pattern and are scheduled to turn on and off in two hour intervals, though we imagine they also function at gamemakers discretion. As of right now, they seem to be working like clockwork. We imagine this is going to be a fun obstacle to watch in the upcoming weeks.

Not long after the tributes arrival to the field, cameras all across the western region of the island showed heavy and curious movement toward the island interior. Our gamemaker insider says, with some glee, that these 'raptors' were designed to be both curious and aggressive. We're really looking forward to seeing what challenges they present our tributes in the coming future.

We also picked up a few hints about why that cornucopia cache might have been so large. All organic life inside the arena is incompatible with human physiology, and ingesting most substances will cause a significant allergic reactions with potential risk of anaphylactic shock. We're sure some of them are about to learn real quick that those mangoes are off the menu!

CAPITOL UPDATE
Current Weather: Sunny but cool; average of 49 degrees
Curfew: Not Strictly Enforced
Restricted Areas: Damage/Maintenance issues have left several inaccessible areas scattered throughout the city.

Life In The Capitol.

There's no doubt about it that everything from the newest arenas, the hottest tributes and sometimes yesterday's afternoon tea can inspire fashion trends of today. Right now, it's all about autumn and looking fabulous in those layers. Bloody reds and screaming yellows bring in the real spirit of the approaching holiday.

With Halloween just around the corner, you can bet there is a festive mood in the air. Even after the recent city-wide events, spirits are high. Though some areas were hit a little harder than others, damage repairs are already well under way. But that hasn't stopped city favourite, Glacialis, from completing its seasonal interior redesign in preparations for some frighteningly fabulous festivities.



Come in theme-appropriate costume and your first drink is on the house!

Alternate routes to avoid Columbine or Marina Drive, advised until further notice.
