Inside The Arena.

The body count is finally starting to stack up to entertainment standards and boy does it look to get better. Drama, romance, violence and the trial of the human condition, and the reminder of sacrifice that must be made for the hope of tomorrow. Only viewers at home in the Capitol would have noticed in the bottom of their screens a countdown timer that has been ticking since the last time the button was pressed earlier this week. Well my friends, count down is over!

We focus in on the massive cages on the eastern side of the island, that seem to now be showing some definite signs of movement. The floors beneath open up and.... oh my what do you suppose that is?!

Both cages now contain an 18-foot-tall, 8-ton tyrannosaur muttation. Twin bulls. And they do not look happy to be contained in those cages.



Those cages are rusted and weak. They cannot possibly contain the creatures for long. I give them 15, maybe 20 minutes before those cages are nothing but busted scrap metal, and we've got a game of tribute chase on our hands!

Rains keep falling. The island still shrinking. The compound, now totally picked over, still remains without a force field surrounding it.

If you would like to push the button, please reply here. Your result will (oftentimes) impact the entire arena; effects will be announced in-game.

Re: Red Button

[revvinguptheharley]

Harley loves this game. They should have one of these in every arena!

Button be pushed!

Arena Plotting

[gamemakers]

Eddie and Katniss

[wiredup]

Eddie is dying. I am assuming with Suze since he's with her and she is also dying.

Katniss is traumatize and covered with Peeta an initiate's blood and needs to find Sandy/Pruna and Shep?

Guy Crood

[acroodawakening]

Guy's still hanging in there and still open for both friendly and hostile encounters. If you need someone to kill your character, as long as they attack him or try to steal his stuff I can oblige.

Also! He has a spear, a fifteen foot coil of metal wire, the ability to make deadly traps and fire, and a largely nonplussed attitude towards large, dangerous creatures! Who'd like to team up to try to hunt some T-Rex?

Gambit

[rat_des_marais]

He's still in... somehow. >.> At this stage in the arena, I'm totally down for him killing some people in fights. Anyone want to take him up on that?

Or just normal CR, you know. Whatevs.

Re: Arena Plotting

[dividedgirlofmine]

Susannah and Eddie are dying/not technically dying together. I THINK the current plan is to try and fail to take down a dino together, possibly in conjunction with Guy. She is also available for murdering people, because she's got nice shooty arrows and wicked aim.

Sandy (Up for death), Harley, Orc and Azula (Up for killing/death) Volunteers needed!

[revvinguptheharley]

Sandy: is dieing alongside Pruna this week and we need a fantastic way to make it happen.

Harley: Loves pushing that button! But now that the fence is down she's looking to branch out and start hunting tributes or meeting up with them for friendship and fun.

Orc: Orc is PISSED! Howard has been kidnapped and Orc is looking for him and will likely smash anyone who gets in his way if they can't talk him down. He is also swelling with guilt for failing Howard.

Azula: Wounded, angry, desperate to kill people and prove to the capitol that she's worth respect. But she's also realized the alternative is that she dies protecting one of her tributes. So if we have any victims who would be willing to be saved by Azula at the cost of her own life, or anyone willing to die by Azula's hand this is the week.

Pruna

[knifewithnoname]

The brat duo are dying this week. It needs to be fabulous and probably rediculous (more rediculous than riding a raptor because been there done that)

I know there is going to be a team up of Sandy/Pruna/Shep and Katniss at some point

Anyone else want anything with Pruna before she dies? She is still very up for killing people, she has a point to make about being useful.

Lin Mayuzumi

[and_my_pickaxe]

Still alive somehow! She's looking for a posse to team up and take care of the rest of the Tributes, but if she doesn't find one she'll be more than willing to kill off someone by herself. Does your character need to die this week?

Or if you just need cranky lawyer CR, that'd be awesome, too!

Eponine

[gardienne]

As Eponine has so kindly been granted a reprieve from death again, she will be hobbling round the arena. She is mostly hanging out with Aunamee, but whilst he mysteriously disappears to secretly kidnap Howard and further entrench misery into the ex-new-star-crossed lovers' lives, she will be knocking about on her crutches, scamming for as much food and water as she can get her sticky fingers on. So if you fancy sharing or being robbed, hit me up! Or, if you have ideas for a thread with a love sick French girl, do again let me know!

Sponsor gift offers

[splendid_roman]

I still have 450 points left if anyone would like Ian C to organise them some sponsor gifts.

Joan Watson!

[formersurgeon]

Joan is losing the second of her Baker Street Boys, and hence will be all alone. I would be very happy to hook her up with someone for mutual defense!

Capitol Plotting

[gamemakers]

Shion

[savedbyasong]

Shion is still in the Capitol! Still getting sponsors for people so if you need anything let me know, I still have lotss of credits between them all so I can help save people/send them parachutes

Up for anything really!

Ian G

[wantwhatiwant]

Ian got killed last week, I still need to make him a thread waking up and throw him into things. But yeah he's going to be spiralling downhill a bit, with lots of parties, drugs and alcohol on the horizon. Anyone want to join him?

Or you know stop him...

[futilecycle]

Volunteering Sigma Klim for death, Sigma died last week!

[69problems]

Signless is going to die/has already died, I mostly didn't get around to notifying since the pertinent log hasn't been finished. EITHER WAY for next death roll purposes he's dead. Thanks friend mods!

Questions?

[gamemakers]

Whatever you got ;)
