Arena Update.

This arena has thus far, felt very much like watching an extreme sort of slumber party; kids in their pajamas slinking down hallways, breaking things and poking their noses in places they don't belong. Thankfully most slumber parties are several degrees less bloody in popular practice, and seldom take place in museums, but it sure has caused a rush order on luxury pajamas!

Creative use of the exhibits is an at-home favourite.

Creative use of your fellow tributes is a favourite of everyone.

The lack of wilderness, or any outdoor exposure at all in the video feeds makes hits arena seem particularly close to home. Familiar locations that the audience at home can relate to really makes them feel like they're a part of this experience with you!

Some are rooting for you.

Some would like to see you suffer.

In the end, all but one of you will fail.

Gamemaker Notes//Out Of Character.

Sorry for the delay on this guys, the weekend completely got away from me! Just a reminder though that Death Rolls from here on out will be on Fridays, starting on January 24th! Also, Death Rolls are going to be the Arena's weekly source of information, and the Capitol is about to get it's own special treat for all it's special tidbits; it's very own radio talk show, with esteemed radio personality, Cecil Palmer! We're very excited to tune in.

Happy Hunger Games!

I has more questions about the masks! And the setting, in general. Basically, re: Gabriel has powers and is a little pissed.

I've heard in the last round of questions that powers will still be nerfed for those that are super crazy powerful/really strong (see that Titan guy). I just wanted to clear up a few details in regards to my guy.

One of his main powers is altering reality and all that jazz. He can't do that here, of course, but can he make things appear? Food, locks on doors, machine gun turrets ohoho, etc etc. If so, how long would these things last once his powers go out again? And I'm assuming he can still fly/teleport between floors but not outside?

Secondly, how sturdy are the floors/ceilings of this place? I mean, some of these are a little claustrophobic and Gabriel wouldn't mind helping the Capitol remodel a little. You know, to let some air in or maybe take two small floors and make one big one. If that's approved, it would happen way later in the arena, as in after it really starts affecting him.

Lastly, a question about the masks in general. It says that after ten minutes, it'll latch itself to their faces and can't be removed, then goes on to give a warning about using them too often in the original description. Can the mask be removed after a certain period of time or is there a certain way to activate it? Or does it just turn powers off and on as it pleases?

I didn't think I would spam. I'm so sorry. Hi.

I would say no on making things appear, yes to flying and teleporting between floors. He would be able to destroy the floor, but we'll ask that you not have him do that immediately (we trust your discretion!).

The masks reactivate your powers the instant you put them on, and last for exactly ten minutes before the hooks go in and the powers stop. Once the hooks are in you have to rip the mask off, which is painful but not impossible. If you take the mask off before the ten minutes, you can avoid the hooks, but if you put the mask back on it won't do anything anymore. You'll still feel the aftereffects with impulse control and anger.

Oh, don't worry. That'll be for way way later so that folks can enjoy the floors. Thanks, though. That sounds like it's gonna be fun and I'll let you know the week I decide to do this before it goes up.

Okay! So, mask stays the whole ten minutes and is ripped off, then upon putting it back on, the powers will come back (though there'll have to be some time in between). BUT if the mask comes off before the ten minutes are up and is replaced later on, no powers. Both come with the aftereffects. That right?

Almost! Each mask is one use only. Thankfully, there are a lot of masks.

OKAY! That explains a lot. Thanks again!
