Arena 08 -- Week Seven


INSIDE THE ARENA: A Celebrus Exclusive
Arena Information: Arena 08
Upcoming Week: Arena Week Seven
Compound Occupants: Anyone
Red Button Presses (So Far): 5
Last Week's Death Toll: Adelaide Aldegona ; Cuthbert Allgood ; Diana Ladris ; Eponine Thenardier ; Eva Salazar ; Gaila of Orion ; Guy Crood ; Homura Akemi ; Howard Bassem ; Iskierka ; Jack Atlas ; Maximus Decimus Meridius ; Neophyte Redglare ; Nepta Leigon ; Remy "Gambit" Lebeau ; Terezi Pyrope ; Venus di Milo




Inside The Arena.
Oh emotions and tensions seem to be running as high as ever as all the very best Hunger Games do. The triumph, the terror, the heartbreak! It's always hard to know who much tension a relationship can withstand with so many dangerous, stressful and downright life-staking obstacles at hand.

But as the good saying goes; 'tis better to loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

That's why I myself always root for the crafty ones. You always know what you're going to get with a cold trained killer! No heartbreak; just good fun entertainment! And I do have to say that the body count is finally starting to add up. From the look of things, tributes might even be getting a little more help from the arena.

Just about as soon as darkness fell tonight, the searchlights came on. From the nearest steel beam in relation to each tribute, a searchlight will follow each one, pin-pointing their location with a beam of light. Searchlights will follow each tribute for the next three days, but will only come on at night. Searchlights are directed from any point along the nearest 108-foot sonic fence posts. They cannot be tampered with. The lights are triggered by the tributes themselves and will only come on if a tribute is nearby.



Steadily the arena has been shrinking. If it continues at its current rate, the water may eventually divide the arena in two.

Life In The Capitol.
The Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at City Center Plaza tonight looks to be as spectacular as ever. Flown in straight from District 7 this morning, the 47-foot tall northern white pine was decorated by a combined effort of 3 of this season's hottest interior designers and their staff.

Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will begin at sundown and I hear it's all you can eat and drink. It's certain to be a grand and glorious time!

Also, just wanted to give one last reminder about the mid arena check-in guys! It's you're last day to check in so don't forget! We don't want to accidentally drop any of you!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Awesome~

I'll set up a rampaging Orc thread either tonight or tomorrow
revvinguptheharley: (Thumbs up!)

Re: Guy Crood

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-12-01 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah that sounds about right. Orc goes all hulk smash and bashes Guy out of his way just to keep going.

That works! I'll let you know how it's gonna go when I get closer to it.
revvinguptheharley: (Nyah nyah!)

Re: Guy Crood

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-12-01 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Right on~

I was thinking of setting up an Orc rampage thread but if you want your own thread I'll make sure he pops up when you're ready.

Great! just go ahead and ping me when it's up!

Joan Watson bites the dust!

[personal profile] formersurgeon 2013-12-01 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I am terribly behind on the arena, but I'd like to set something up for Joan's death. She went out via snake last arena, so I'd like to have somebody kill her this time. She won't attack anybody, so maybe she accidentally startles someone, or is caught stealing food, or is murdered in cold blood. Any takers?

Armin and Eren might be the instigators of a huge pillow fight in the Commons later. Everyone else is welcome to join in, of course! That should go up sometime this first week of December, depending on when Amanda is ready for it :|b

(Punchy: 670
Howard: 195
Venus: 650
Eva: 620)

Buying Orc 2 days of water for 640. Guess I'm using Venus' credits, leaving her at 10.

Sending Ellie 2 days of food for 640 using Eva and Howard's reserves (leaves Howard with 175).

Sending Enj two days of food for 640, leaving Punchy with 30.

Buying some food for Wyatt using his credits.

720-640= 80 credits remaining.
vissernone: (Happy - Oh?)

[personal profile] vissernone 2013-12-01 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I donate my remaining 215 credits to you. I don't think they can buy anything but maybe you can add them up with someone for something. <3

wao he's still alive.

Julian will not be killing anyone if he can help it--he's completely unarmed and doesn't have any supplies, but he's not completely starving yet due to being thrown in so late + Augment resilience woo.

He will, however, offer medical assistance to anyone who needs it, as much as he can. Which...isn't much.

Harley has been hosed down with raptor pheramones and they are chasing her around the arena. If you'd like Joan can be an unfortunate casualty of this?
formersurgeon: (Default)

[personal profile] formersurgeon 2013-12-01 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, man, that's terrible awesome! I would love that :) Would she get caught up by the raptors?
revvinguptheharley: (Default)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-12-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I'm thinking that Harley is breezing through the woods trying to give them the shake, blows past Joan and the raptors trailing her decide to take care of Joan first?
the_marshal: (wyattThinking)

[personal profile] the_marshal 2013-12-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He's welcome to bump in Wyatt sometime. He was stabbed and poisoned and cauterized the wound himself last week. He's mostly got them under control now... but the good Doc could take a look if he wanted.
asklepian: (pic#6889764)

[personal profile] asklepian 2013-12-01 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
ouch.

Yes this can be a thing c: Julian will just feel frustratingly useless because there's really not much more he could do. Boo.

Here's Orc's rampage unless you want to set up your own thing.

It's time for Lin to die! :D I have no plans right now so whoever wants to kill her can go for it. She's weak and starving, but lord knows she still has sheer desperation and a fight left in her. Any ideas?

Also, if someone needs killing before she goes, please let me know - Lin can be a bloodthirsty girl when she's at the end of her rope and I haven't had the chance to let her kill anyone off since she got here. It'd be really great! :D

I think I'd have to do my own since Guy died week six.

Did somebody say pillow fight?

Hello! I'm happy that you've tagged into Orc's rampage.

Is there a particular way you'd like for him to cause her death? Crushed by a tree? Swept out of her way with a backhand? I'm very open to making this death as dramatic or short and sweet as you'd like.
and_my_pickaxe: (You smile:)

Re: Arena Plotting

[personal profile] and_my_pickaxe 2013-12-07 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Fufufu! I don't mind either way! Something long and dramatic would certainly have a lasting effect on Lin (which I am always up for), but I wouldn't want to draw out the thread past its natural length. So whatever you feel like! Perhaps Lin can try to beg for her life? Whatever works!
