- WEEK ONE - ( Welcome, Tributes, to your first week of the Arenas! )Arena1: Candyland
The thunderous cacophony of cannon fire that announces the end of the bloodbath of the cornucopia lasts over a minute solid. Boom. Boom. Boom. An unprecedented death toll of 47 tributes leave bodies scattered throughout the playing field, and in an usual change of protocol, still remain where they fell: lifeless and already starting to spoil in the sticky sweet sun.
Hours pass, and there is still no sign of the hovercrafts which typically retrieve the bodies. A few hours more and many tributes may start to realize that they are never coming. In this particular arena, no bodies will be retrieved by the Capitol, and it will not be a pleasant thing. The poison and the sugar don't seem to be mixing well, and everything is rotting far faster than it should...
The first day's sunshine is relentless. And when it seems like it should be coming to an end, the day keeps on stretching. On and on, past the point where night should have come. When the anthem starts to play, it
should mean dusk, but the sun is still high in the sky. Brilliant. Glaring. Unending. It makes the faces in the sky harder to see... but they are far from forgotten.
Until further notice, there will be no nightfall in this arena.
Arena2: The Desert
Here, the heat is oppressive , but the only warm welcome seems to be a face full of hot sand. Wind, sun, and dust and heat and emptiness are all that can be found here. But as drastically different as this arena may seem, there are some unfortunate similarities.
Day and night are not normal here, and the sun remains high in the sky, making sleep very difficult and offering no relief from the heat. In fact, the temperature seems to slowly be rising. But night will not come.... not for a while now.
Try to keep hydrated. If you can.
There will be no body clean up in this arena, either when the tributes start to fall. They do not seem to react as badly to the elements here, though.
What may offer some aid in this place, if you get lucky enough to be the first ones to find it.... are all the items inside the cornucopia.
13G is where this arena's cornucopia can be found. If you would like your character to try their chances at finding something, please reply to the proper thread below.
SPECIAL NOTE: Cornucopia results are all rolled at one time, because there is often a limit on supplies and we don't want the first repliers to be the ones to get all the rewards. As such, YOU MUST REPLY TO THE CORNUCOPIA THREAD BY NOON - 12:00 P.M. (MST) - ON WEDNESDAY. WEEK ONE DEATH ROLLS.

OUT OF CHARACTER & MOD NOTES.
Just a few in-game technicalities. Cannon fire after the death of ANY tribute will be heard in both arenas. Each 'night' during the anthem and the display of fallen faces, can be seen in both arenas as well. Meaning yes, even though you can't see half of them, you will still know that they are dying. (Again.)
