Scars of Hathsin he/him Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 (edited) 11 hours ago, Edema Rue said: The tributes hear laughter as they enter the arena. It echoes for a long moment before fading into the stunningly colorful jungle that surrounds them on every side. It’s warm, and so humid that all the tributes immediately begin sweating. They have no metal minds, no weapons, nothing but themselves. “Welcome,” a voice says, “to our first ever Commemorative Hunger Games! Each of our so-called “tributes” has volunteered and is ready to risk death for the possibility of gold and glory!” In the center, instead of a traditional cornucopia, there sits a single story building. It’s black on every side, and it glitters with what can only be inlaid silver. Each of its four sides has a single door. Another spout of laughter begins, and this time they can tell it’s coming from within. Everyone except for @TheRavenHasLanded, @Wierdo, @The Honorable One, @Unintelligenius, and @Lotus Blossom feels weakened, as if they can’t quite reach their power. Maybe they could, if they pushed, but it would be very draining. In the Gamemaker Headquarters, Gavin was sitting on a couch near his adopted parents. He was smiling pleasantly, though perhaps he watched the screen just a tad too eagerly. Paint was splattered across his hands, which he was absentmindedly scratching away. Alderic stood quietly in a militaristic posture, hands held behind his back. His face was solemn as he watched the screen. Cosette gripped the armrests of her chair tightly, clenching her strong, yet delicate hands on the wood. "Et voilà, le bain de sang commence..." She whispered, staring at the screen. "Et quel spectacle ce sera..." She gave a grim smile and settled back in her chair. Emeric sits beside her, his leg is crossed over the other and he is staring silently at Cosette. He then looks up at the screen and nods. Rekker smiles at Epiphany and then presses one of the many buttons laid out before him, notepad in hand. Gavin glanced at Rekker, frowned in confusion, then looked back at the screen. This wasn't something he wanted to miss. “And now,” the voice continued. “Let’s begin! Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One.” There’s a gong, and so the games begin. @Lord Spirit @Cash67 @RoyalBeeMage @J. Magi @TheRavenHasLanded @The Bookwyrm @Spark of Hope @Wierdo @The Stormfather @The Honorable One @WhyEverNot_8 @Unintelligenius @Scars of Hathsin @Witisthebest, @Lotus Blossom @Dragonheir @LightRinger @Ancient Elantrian @Experience @SmilingPanda19 @Anguished_One Quote I am Here! Dougella, HG Arena Dougella stand there as the countdown started, and watched everyone make eyes at the building that lay in the centre of their clearing. It's inlaid surface called to her, beckoned to her, and watching the others tributes eyes, knew that is was going to be a race, a competition. She grins, the smile lighting up her face at the thought of a challenge. The gong sounds Dougella bounds towards the building, her legs seemingly flying across the ground, in her perspective at least. She strains like a hound on a leash, running towards one of the doors, but a root trips her. Thud. She lands on the ground tumbling head over heels. She watches as everyone goes into the building. I will not be last she swears to herself. Running towards a door, noticing the people around the doors, waiting. She walks up to the door, pulling on the handle @Edema Rue@Ancient Elantrian Edited May 20 by Scars of Hathsin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then, your abilities are completely taken away for the entirety of the next Scadrian change. I'm sure you'll survive." “Pass for now.” 2 hours ago, Edema Rue said: "Excellent," Corin said. "And what would you like in return?" He sees no supplies, but the jungle is thick and dense, and it's easy to hide. He sees condensed water dripping down leaves, and there are plenty of fruits growing. It's impossible to tell which might be poisonous, however. “Water, food, tin, steel metalmind… and a knife.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience he/him Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 (edited) GAMEMAKER HQ Rekker sees Gavin glancing in his direction, but doesn't give it any heed. Instead he watches the screen, scribbling in his notebook. Subjects acting predictably, either entering forest or casino. No fights have yet broken out. Prediction: Subjects won't fight until forced. As Rekker looks back up at the screen, he sees the boy looking in his direction again. Why was he staring... It took him a moment more to realize that someone else was sitting in Gavin's line of sight: Epiphany. "Hey, what are you looking at?" Rekker asks him. @Edema Rue(?)

He holds up one of the rocks he found threateningly, ready to throw as he comes out of his hiding spot behind a bush. "There's too many people in there. They'd tear you apart if you barged in, by my guess. Probably safer out here." He looks towards Astra.
