Arena Update.

Food Glorious Food
Here's hoping you had some food stockpiled! After the fires have cleared out completely, it becomes very apparent that all of the edible plants have been lost to the blaze and Tributes won't find hide nor hair of any animals. Resourceful Tributes may devise ways of getting by, but it's gonna be lean times from here on out.

Call of the Yeti
On Friday, there are cries heard from the mountains. But these aren't the cries of a person. They are the cries of a pack of Yetis. These terrible beasts will come down from their glacial home and rampage through what remains of the forest, attacking and maiming those in their path. It will take effort, but they can be defeated, and by Tuesday night, the Yetis with either all be killed or driven back to their mountain homes, depending on the efforts of the Tributes.

You Shook Me All Night Long
Tributes will wake up on Wednesday morning to strong jolt. It's an earthquake, and the ground will shake so hard that large cracks will appear in the ground. These massive crevices will create serious hazards throughout the arena. Areas will have flooded, there will be rockslides, and worse still, aftershocks will pulse through the arena throughout the day until sunset.

Monster
Once the ground has settled and there seems the be a moment of calm, the charred remains of the forest seem to come alive in a most horrifying way. On Wednesday night, the arena will be invaded by strange and horrible looking mutts. These mutts mostly pass as bipedal humanoids, but with some serious modifications. They've been given the physical features of different fearsome animals. Even more frightening? These monstrosities are based on the human bodies of the Tributes slain in the Arena over the last six weeks. Does that sabertooth human bear a strange resemblance to Bilbo? Does that dire wolf/human hybrid remind you of Cassandra? There's a reason for that...

These creatures aren't so much looking to kill the remaining Tributes. They're actually on a quest to flush out any and all Tributes attempting to take refuge in the outer areas of the arena. They will attack if provoked, but they seem mostly focused on forcing everyone out of their hiding spots and into the Cornucopia for one final face off on Thursday. Tributes are welcome to fight back or even kill these mutts, but killing one will trigger two more to assume its place. These are examples of what these mutts might look like: this, this, this or this.

Oh, and they mutts can speak. Okay, speaking is a bit generous. They can hiss and yell and scream. And they sound just like the slain Tributes whose voices they posses.

Showdown
Whoever is left alive on Thursday will find they've been herded to the Cornucopia, which has miraculously been untouched by fire, meteors, earthquakes, and everything else. The Cornucopia has been restocked with weapons, but they aren't modern weapons at all. They are stone age looking clubs and spears, fashioned with pointy rocks, held together with leather and sinews. There's also an honest to goodness feast in the Cornucopia! We're talking freshly prepared meats and veggies, cooked in rich buttery sauces, stacks of smoked ribs, casseroles, loaves of bread, piping hot spaghetti and lasagna, popcorn, nachos, cupcakes, cookies, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheeseburgers, fries, bacon... every delicious and tempting food imaginable!

This poses a dilemma. Do you go for the food or do you go for the weapons? And there's no time to debate these questions, because the mutts will become violently enraged and begin attacking if you don't run into the fray.

Re: Sponsorship Program

[arrogantalloy]

EIGHT!?

[silberfuchs]

Anonymous sponsors send Jet 85 bottles of vodka for 425 points, putting me at 0.

If some of those bottles mistakenly and mysteriously end up in the hands of other tributes too, so be it.

Re: Sponsorship Program

[actually112]

Yeeeeeeaaaaah I forgot about my credits.

So the arena is getting 353 bottles of vodka, spread evenly across the tributes. This leaves me at 0 for Aang and Bruce.

Have fun.

[fusshionable]

Sending Nick (L4D2) 122 bottles of Vodka using Anna's remaining 610 credits, along with a note that says Same time, same place. -PM

Re: Sponsorship Program

[tasermaiden]

So Darcy's last 30 credits are going towards 6 bottles of vodka, sent to anyone who would like to have a random act of alcohol delivered down on them.

[metalicarus]

Buying Jet one two-day supply of food and spending the rest on a ridiculous amount of vodka (76 bottles).

1020-640=380

380-380 credits worth of vodka=0

[wizardplease]

Vodka time!

Spending Haruto's last 125 points for 25 bottles of vodka, to be randomly distributed with the rest of the vodka flood.

Re: Sponsorship Program

[whydoyoushine]

All of Zed's 100 points that he got for joining mid-Arena will be going to supply him with 20 bottles of vodka.

All of Torin's 330 remaining points will be going towards 66 bottles of vodka for the D2 Tributes to be split 3 ways. (He tried to get y'all something nice...)

Nitou's 110 points will be going towards 22 bottles of vodka to be split evenly among everyone else.

[sizeofyourbaggage]

Using Julian Bradds' default 100 points (with permission from Shannon) to send 18 bottles of vodka from anonymous sponsors, distributed among Tony Stark, Clint Barton, and Jet Link.

Plus 1 bottle of vodka to Jet Link with a note: Consider this a poor man's fire fueling kit. -Sam

And 1 bottle of vodka to Clint Barton and Tony Stark with a note: Best I can do, but I bet one of you can MacGyver up a way to win with this. -Sam

20 x 5 = 100, leaving Julian with 0.

[atethecanary]

Yup! Permission was given! Vodka everywhere

Re: Sponsorship Program

[carnagecarnival]

2555 credits for 511 bottles of vodka, distributed evenly, bought by an anonymous sponsor. Happy Hunger Games.

Arena Plotting

[etcircenses]

[iphigeneia]

I'd like Felicity to go down fighting, since this will be her last arena before she goes to D13. I'm gonna post a backdated catch all for arena stuff this week, but yeah. I wanna do something fun and bloody.

Brock Samson

[samson]

OK SO I would like Brock to go down before the final showdown. Ideally he will sacrifice himself protecting someone else (either from another Tribute or some environmental threat) and will more likely sacrifice himself to protect a child or a woman than a man. Otherwise he will probably get in some terrible hydra situation with the muttations.

As always, he is available for killing/injuring adult males or injuring adult females.

Aang

[actually112]

Aang is... going to be so, so very drunk.

He's a vegetarian and has been determined to stick to that this whole time, so he's super skinny and the fire took out most of his food supply. He's still up for fighting Yetis with anyone, but I'm planning on having him get injured.

And then the vodka will come, and that will be his only source of liquid, and he has nothing in his stomach. He will be very drunk and very sick and a mutt will probably have to carry him to the Cornucopia.

He'll be very easy to kill at the Cornucopia because he'll be too weak to really put up a fight if anyone wants to murder him. He'll be found with the food. If no one tries to kill him, he'll quietly die of something. Maybe an infection. Or alcohol poisoning. I'll decide either way.

murder/death/yeti fights

[ka_sera_sera]

Teaming up to kill a yeti would be fun.

Everyone is getting vodka but Roland will probably just make fires and disinfect wounds with his, but if he finds anyone actually drinking it, him fighting and trying not to kill a drunk tribute would be fun. (Or actually killing them, if the person annoys him enough.) Ps do you guys think defeating a yeti by tricking hem into drinking would work, because. Yes.

Thinking he will probably die in the last arena, preferably while killing someone else. But I am not 100% attached to that, I would mostly just like to thread out his death somehow.

Or hey, him dying by drunk yeti fighting would be fun.

Jet

[metalicarus]

Still not a hundred percent on how to have Jet die. He's getting nearly 300 bottles of vodka sent directly to him so, yes, he's going to spend this last week drunk in varying levels. Unfortunately, I don't want him to die of alcohol poisoning so that won't be an option.

I'm open to anything really! He could end up attacking someone because he's drunk and has lost a few of his marbles from this arena, but he could also die protecting someone. If nothing gets plotted, he'll probably just get killed by the mutts when they turn aggressive near the end. Nothing says finale like being ripped into by deformed versions of your loved ones.

Zed

[whydoyoushine]

Zed has been trying to treat this like he's just won a really crappy wilderness vacation, and so the odds of him getting drunk and going out in a really stupid blaze of stupid drunkenness glory are pretty good. He also doesn't have a proper fear of monsters and isn't close enough for any of the Tribute-mutts to really bother him on an emotional level, so he'll probably manage to get himself killed then.

mutt!Psii

[biiowiired]

If you'd like your character scared, herded, attacked, etc., I can play the body horror mutt that is Psii's remains fused with tentacles. The mutt will be hanging (heh) around trees, cave roofs, and anywhere else he can slowly descend unnoticed >:D. (Meanwhile, Psii watches TV back in the Capitol in utter horror.) I'm also cool with handwaving that your character saw mutt!him either in the arena or on TV.

Capitol Plotting

[etcircenses]

plot: STEPHEN REAGAN IS A HOT MESS

[youbarium]

So for those of you coming back from the Arena, you're going to find out that Stephen's been....well, getting some of that tabloid publicity. Magazines are talking about how, during an interview, the interviewer stepped on the cape he was wearing and made him faceplant on the stage. He made an absolutely hilarious face when he got up, and that photograph's been circulating.

He's also said some deeply stupid things about Tributes. He's mispronounced one of the D6 tributes' names on air (D6ers, volunteer if you want it to be yours) and he's gotten into some heated arguments over stupid things in public at inappropriate times. He's had a tendency to talk about the Tributes like they're dolls or pets -- "Oh, I love living with Tributes. Clementine is so cute sometimes I can't even stand it" etc. He's also had moments where he forgot what he was saying halfway through, and ended the sentence with, "...and it's like. Why would that even BE. You know?" or something of the like.

IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE HE IS DELIBERATELY STUPID AT/LAUNCHES INTO A RANT AT/IS PLASTERED IN PUBLIC WITH, please let me know!! I'd love to thread some of this out!

....if the people buying vodka are cool with it, I might say Stephen's been urging Sponsors to buy vodka for the Tributes. As a great big joke.
