Mini Arena 2 plotting

[etcircenses]

The arena is a luxury cruise ship.

The ship is huge, and generally stocked like it's ready for a cruise. The pools are full, the tables are set, the cabins are made up. However there is a noticeable lack of life vest, life boats, and anything else life related. Better hope this ship does sink. Oh. Oh wait.

The sky is stormy, rain coming and going, as the Tributes are flown in, and the water is choppy and cold. This ship is not in the Caribbean.

Everyone is dressed in finery. The woman are in ball gown, floor length with jewelry, heels, stocking, the whole shebang. The men are in 5 piece tuxedos. Everyone is color coded the same as they were at the picnic.

Tributes are dressed in personal cabins, and then loaded into the tubes.



Cornucopia.

Tributes are lifted into a grand, sparkling ball room, in the lowest part of the ship. Before them is a wonderful buffet spread.

Along with food, however, are supplies.

-Rope
-Knife
-Life vests
-Chains
-First aid kits
-Water bottles
-Small oxygen tanks (about 10 minutes worth)
-Goggles
-Light weight wet suits

There is enough supplies and time to grab as much as you would like. There is at least one for each tribute. However, there is nothing in reach to carry it (or any food) with, so you can't grab too much. Pick 3-4 wisely.

However, as soon as the first person touches a supply there is a horrible crashing, grinding sound, followed by an explosion.

Oops.




Immediate Hazards

There is really only one big hazard.

The ship is sinking.

It is not, at first, a fast sinking. For the first 6 hours it is going straight down. However, it is not just the ship sinking. The ship has suffered an explosion in the stern, and fires and electrical failures are running rampant. Lights flickers and outright die often, leaving the world pitch black. In the lower levels is varies between very cold and very hot.

After those 6 hours, the boat takes on critical weight, and starts to tip up, sending the bow into the air. It doesn't go fast, but it goes steadily up.

The water around (and entering) the ship is freezing cold, and there are things in it, ready to snap you up. Those things are sharks. Big sharks.

As the ship starts to slip deeper into the water, the shark don't necessarily stay on their side nice and sweet. They push their way in, hungry for your flesh.

Wildlife

Besides the sharks outside, just waiting, there are rats on the ship. Panicky, violent, big rats. One isn't going to be much of an issue, but they tend to swarm.

Foodstuffs

There is plenty of food around, in any of the galley kitchens or restaurant. However, as the day goes on, it might get a tad harder to access.

As always, we here at The Games would like to wish you a very happy Hunger Games!





Misc

Tributes are not told multiple winners are an option. However, they are, and we in fact have 6:

Siroc
Rock Lee
Clara
Charles Xavier
Clementine
Nepeta

Everyone else...you gonna die.

They are also not told that winning will not make them victors. Really, they aren't told much about this arena.

The post will be up the middle of this week!

May the odds be ever in your favor.

PLOTTING

[etcircenses]

AWWWW YEAH GONNA DIE

[biomechatronic]

So, hey, anyone up for killing a harmless middle aged dude? He'll actually try to fight back this time.

He will likely try to keep some sort of order, try to get in charge and organize things, announce loudly he's a doctor. Also, he hates rats.

[ruffntumblenut]

Wanna have Ruffnut throw a rat at him while he's trying to be all cool and organized?

dave strider

[shenunigans]

So guess who can't swim?? This bitch. Dave is going to be doing his best not to panic and keep it together. Eventually he's probably going to accept the fact that he's doomed and try to help other people out. If you want tasteless morbid humor and a teenage boy to help you out, come hither.

I have no solid idea for his death but if you want to kill him come at me.

[polyturtle]

So Don is actually going to try to win this time, but...he's obviously going to die. So, anyone who's up for killing him or...causing him to plunge to his death would be most appreciated!

Sigma Klim/Zero

[futilecycle]

Sigma's lover (and his son's mother, who happens to be a different person) survived a sinking ship Arena when she was a little girl. Sigma, on the other hand, will not survive! :V And he'll be tense and upset the entire time.

I'd like him to die from drowning, a fatal injury seems too kind. And I'd love for him to have some company! Maybe someone to spill his guts to. Or, someone who got him into that mess in the first place. ;) I'm up for anything!

Clara Murphy

[seestheman]

So apparently Clara's going to be on the SS Crushing Disappointment once this all finishes up, so no death for her.

But I'd be more than happy for her to be involved in other people's deaths (whether by accident or on purpose), if anyone wants to be killed by someone with absolutely no combat training. In short, I don't have plans for her, so come at me?

[silberfuchs]

I only have plans for the end of this mini arena (at least for Albert) concerning getting trapped with Initiate and Cecil in a locked and flooding compartment and all drowning... though Albert will last long enough for Jet to break in, see Albert's pinned under something, and refuse to leave. Dumbass.

If anyone wants to plan anything else, or if the other muns in question wanna fine tune or change anything we'd planned before, lemme know here!

Jet

[metalicarus]

All I have planned is that he'll die by drowning when Albert get's pinned by something and Jet refuses to leave him. Like an idiot.

He'll be alone all the way up till then so I'm open to anything and everything!

Re: PLOTTING

[dividedgirlofmine]

Susannah won't kill kids or allies, but she'll off people she doesn't know well. I'm up for her getting a kill or two in here.

Clementine

[smarterthanthem]

So Clementine is going to survive this! So I'd love to plot things around how that works out. If your character would like to help save the little girl and go out heroically (and cause her more angst yay) or just have an encounter amidst the chaos of this arena let's do it :D

Edit: Clem's endgame is to meet Dave and Clara on the top deck and end up seeing through to the end of the area with Clara, so she is free for all interactions before then!

Mariko

[arrhenphobia]

Oh,this sounds like fun!

Mariko is obviously going through die. I'm horrible enough to want her go in some other way than by drowning. So yeah! If you want an easy target come at her! She will not be as panicky as during her last arena and might even fight back ( I'm also fine with her killing someone, even if it was just by accident etc)

And also! If you want to form an alliance or need someone to help/protect, that's more than okay.

come at me

Eponine

[gardienne]

So Eponine is going to die! She will fight tooth and nail if backed into a sticky situation - though she will need provoking a little bit.

Eponine can't swim, so there's that as well. She is actually really scared of drowning: in the novel, she claims to have considered drowning herself when she was fifteen, but she couldn't bring herself to do it because the water was so cold and so dark.

So, if you really want to freak her out, locking her in somewhere and leaving her to drown is a good option. Or, you can be merciful...

CHA CHING ROCK LEE

[bloomstwice]

AWWW YEAH eeafh excited OK

so lee's not up to die, but putting him through hell would make his experience A+. he's a ninja which KINDA makes this a pain in the butthole, but if you cripple him just right this could probably even things out!

i'm offering him up to kill someone too! lee's no stranger to killing people but he doesn't do it too often.
this also counts when that one person he's gonna kill is completely innocent...

Steve Rogers

[aboveangrybees]

Steve is punching a shark!

He also needs to die. Haven't decided how, but a heroic death of some sort is preferable. I would love for him to die to help someone survive (either for them to win or then die anyway later).

Otherwise, I'm open for things! I know he'll be trying to help people like always while looking ever the dapper gentleman in his purple tux (and trying not to think about how cold that water is).

Roland Deschain

[ka_sera_sera]

Roland's not going to be trying too hard to win this arena. I think he's going to die by simple drowning, but if anyone wants to injure him/be killed in self defense/anything else, let me know.

Ruffnut Thorston D7

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut is such an epic fail viking. I would like for this arena to be a comedy of errors for her till she dies in some kind of brick joke sort of way.

One idea I had is because there's so many rats running around she just has a habit of scooping them up and throwing them at people.

Another idea is someone warns her that electrified water is dangerous and her response is to promptly push them in to see what happens.

A third idea is to get into a fight in the galley that involves throwing cans at each other till someone starts a fire.

Then of course there's the fun idea of riding on the back of a shark.

Does any of this inspire you? Dial 555-derp

Carlos

[youbarium]

Ok, so Carlos knows how this shit goes and will be trying to get to the front of the ship before it starts to tilt back. I want him to be stopped over and over along the way.

Also, I want him to be eaten. Maybe the sharks tear him up, or maybe another Tribute kills him and the rats get his body. Carlos has been eaten by something or someone in every Arena he's been in and I don't want to break the pattern now.

Would anybody kill Carlos? And if not, who wants to run into him and delay him from getting to the front of the ship?

Re: PLOTTING

[carnagecarnival]

Initiate will be going after a knife but after that, he's going to be lost. He has grown to venerate the water from afar but to be in it is a big nope, and ships are for seadwellers and lunatics. He deeply does not want to be here and has no idea what to do. Death is one thing, drowning is another thing entirely and so he will be quite twitchy. Which means a very good chance to be killed if it's needed!!

Ultimately, I want him to be locked in with no chance of escape, someplace with a solid heavy steel door so it can't be broken down. He will be drowning this round, and he will know it.

Need a death and...some fighting? Yes?

[dying]

Thane's just just going to die and drown. But if anyone wants to knock him into the water during a fight, that is awesome. I plan on offing him in the first couple of hours of the arena. I p. much volunteered him as canon fodder.

Charles has some sort of miracle and makes it through. In other words...does anyone want to run into him? Still on the fence about him killing anyone, but he might now...he'll keep running around and trying to make it to a safe place. Because Charles could only win on wit not actually good fighting skills.

Cecil Palmer

[void_whereprohibited]

SO: Cecil's going to be Avoxed for this Arena from beginning to end! 8D I've got it planned that he'll die by drowning in the company of Albert and Initiate, but that's basically it - everything else is still open.

I'd love for Cecil to get stuck with other people, for any length of time. Allies would be great, but I'd also love for him to spend some time with anyone who would use his Avox conditioning for nefarious purposes (they're shitty watchmen, but as it turns out they make pretty excellent meat shields!).

Rosalind Lutece

[dotsanddashes]

So I have potentially someone killing Rosa already, but anyone want to interact with her or have your character killed by her?

She's 1000000000000% unimpressed with being stuck in leaky underwater things, so she's actually going to be pretty cool-headed about everything, if anyone needs that around.

Courfeyrac

[libertin]

I'm super late to the plotting post (thanks to work & a hiatus) but I'm here now and my body is ready! Help me kill this fucker!

MOD QUESTIONS

[gamemakers]

[smarterthanthem]

Question, will the winners of this arena be told they're non-victors immediately after being picked up out of the arena or is that a surprise for later?

Also would the be back in the Capitol by the day after the arena itself?
