Week Five Deathroll: And We Have A New Victor!

[gamemakers]

The death toll keeps rising, and you can't help but feel that it is only a matter of time. Frozen, tired, hopeless, you cling to what little life is left in you, and you pray it will not be your last experience with the one true miracle you have been a part of. Life.

Around you, the arena groans and trembles. If you did not see it yourself, you are still likely aware of the massive crumbling chunks of ice all around you. This glacier has an expiration date. And it seems to be approaching far faster than you had hoped for. The Capitol does seem to have a big finale in mind this round!

At least you are still alive.

These are the faces that you have seen overhead at night, over the past few days:




The most recent anthem to play however, comes with a brief announcement from Claudius Templesmith, the legendary Hunger Games announcer.

Tributes. From now until the finale, you can expect periodic announcements introducing new tributes into the Arena and are subject to the same expectations as all other tributes within the arena. Tonight, we introduce to you a number of new tributes into frigid wasteland. Please welcome Atticus Bell, now here to represent District 1. And, I hope I am reading this correctly, 'R,' to the Arena. He shall be considered a tribute of District 4.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

DEATH ROLLS FOR NEXT WEEK:

The following tributes have been randomly selected, and will die within the next few days of the arena. Players are encouraged to use this post to plot out deaths however they like!

Atticus Bell of District 1
Howard Bassem of District 1
Vanessa Carlysle of District 1
Daniel Williams of District 2
Dr. Alastor Grey of District 2
Adel-Makim-Zalur of District 4
Alex Rider of District 4
R of District 4
Lindsey McDonald of District 5
Gabriel of District 5
Aunamee of District 7
Glinda Upland of District 9
Donatello of District 9
Andrea Norton of District 10
Cassandra Marko of District 12
Wyatt Earp of District 10


With that monster of a death-list, you must know what that means!

Ladies and gentleman and guests of Panem, it gives us great pleasure to present to you, our Arena 05 Victor: Momoko Ryugasaki!

Congratulations District 7!

No characters above may be "bought" out of death by another character this week.

However, the currently named victor does have the option of dying in place of another tribute. The price to change the crowned victor of this Arena is 800 Credits and must be paid by the currently crowned victor. You ARE allowed to pool credits, so long as it has been discussed by all parties (ooc). Please be sure that you leave a comment to this post so that the mods can be aware of what you are planning.





CAPITOL NEWS.

CURFEW: Still in effect from 10 P.M. until 5:30 A.M. each night. NO EXCEPTIONS.

A change in leadership at Celebrus magazine has definitely been noticed by many around the Capitol, causing buzz all around.


OUT OF CHARACTER.

There will be a finale event (hinted at above). It should not interfere with any Death plans, just give you some fodder to move them along. We will be posting it in the next few days.

It's taken us a little bit to really get a handle on how we wanted to approach introducing tributes into the arena, mid-cycle. Thus far, things have worked out very smoothly, we think! But we would like to announce that we have decided it would be best, in the future, to keep fresh new players out of the finale. This does not apply this week, obviously, as we just introduced a few new characters, but likely, from now on, newly arrived tributes will NOT be released into the Arena during a finale week.

In addition, NPC tribute will no longer be participating in the arena, as we have enough PC ones.

And just on the off chance you weren't sure what our policy one backdating posts and tags were; go nuts! Our next arena will open some time next month!

As always, Happy Hunger Games!

If the list the general order in which characters die... then it's coming down to Wyatt vs. Momoko. D: Dear Lord.

'Supose I know how he's going down.

[casa_gabriel]

Does anyone want to kill (or be killed by) this dick?

[rea_norton]

Rea can kill... if that's good for you? About time she had some action!

[itwasrhetorical]

Who wants to get killed off by magic?

Alternatively, who wants to kill off Glinda?

[cowardfacinghappiness]

I am laughing so hard you guys she never even needed to buy out of a death roll.

Man, I've gotta figure out a way to log her realization of winning cause that's gonna be priceless.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

I am...intrigued by this line of thought. >>

[the_marshal]

He can't hurt her. He'll have to... take himself out. Which should twist him up nicely.

[casa_gabriel]

Ahaha, that sounds wonderful! Death by goth.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

I am totally down with this. Face to face or Wyatt just realizes they're the last two, do you think?

[rea_norton]

EMO! (it's a standing joke in her canon that she looks like a goth but identifies as an 'emo' - Actually, call her a goth and she might actually go crazy.

[rea_norton]

Please can someone off Andrea?

[warrior_become]

Anyone want to kill Adel? Also open to a scenario where the characters kill each other. I could see Adel killing in self-defense at this point but I think she's still hesitant to kill in cold blood.

[greymatter]

Grey is going to be killing Aunamee but he's prooobably going to be in some seriously bad shape afterwards (see: dying). Anyone want the honor of finishing him off? The plot Aunamee mun and I have thought out might take a bit to play out (possibly lots of backtagging?). Just a warning for anyone who wants in on the end of it.

[casa_gabriel]

Haha, I know. I love that movie way too much. I think Gabriel might have to call her a goth, though. She can totally kill him for it.

[makeflowersgrow]

It always surprises me when people know this film (I'm glad you do though!) EXCELLENT. Just buzz me when youwant me - though I won't be around on Tuesday night. Any other time is good though!

[casa_gabriel]

Awesome. Today and tomorrow are a little tight for me, so let's try for Wednesday, maybe? This will be so fun!

[the_marshal]

Okay. Thought about it, and I'm not sure Wyatt would have keeping close enough track to know they were it. He'd have an idea that it was getting close, sure, but not that it was him or her.

So face-to-face would probably be better, if she would know? And can break the news?

[polyturtle]

I have no problem with Don picking a few people off before being offed. MOMOKO FOR VICTOR and all.

So who is up for offing by/offing off Don? :D

[polyturtle]

YAAAAAY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED YAAAAAY no that Momoko needs to know that was his intention but YAAAAAAAAAAY

[polyturtle]

Don has no problem offing people the closer the end gets! Though he's still not keen on attacking defenseless and clueless school students without reason. D:

[danno_williams]

Who wants to kill this loudmouth?

[mudbloodhater]

Draco is super proud of her right now.




Also, he told her so.

[luckofthedevil]

Anyone want to off Alex? Up for some mutual destruction.

[pinklady]

...lol Don could kill Alex for great mutual destruction. Again. This is seriously going to turn into a running gag isn't it

[luckofthedevil]

yes, yes let's do this. lmao, there should be rumors of kill rigging or something
