Let’s get to work!” Rueben said excitedly towards his aviar who cocked his head back in return, granting him. Rueben picks up a rock and starts whittling into a tree, intending to chop it down. He moves more quietly now as what the officiators who brought him here told him is finally starting to sink in. This is a game of death. A desperate fight for survival. Just another day on the streets Rueben muttered While he was distracted, Murr dropped his cord and grabbed a rock. Quickly but silently, he crept up behind Reuben, then leaped up and hit him in the head with the rock, hoping it wasn't enough force to kill him. Quote Up to you how much damage it is.

Rueben’s Aviar, whose gift was of physical senses, Cawed out to him just before Murr struck. “Hmm? What’s up birdy” he said turning in the nick of time so the strike hit him in the shoulder. “Ouch!” Howled before immediately cursing himself remember what Wayde taught you about the streets. Stay out of sight and be quiet. Turning around to face his attacker he prepares a counter strike and swings a bit short missing Murr.

Third is grinding his teeth in frustration at the human tributes’ pacifism, when he spots the fight on the screen. “Finally. Whoever wins gets a reward, I think. But what to give them… an ‘encouragement’ aviar? A weapon? Food?” Third strides out of the main HQ control room to dispatch a message to the victor, whoever it would be.

Scars of Hathsin he/him Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 Earlier... First stood on the plate, embedded in the sand of the beach. Worry, and anxiousness flooding through her body, racing through her bodily systems. Being quickly followed by adrenaline. Why am I here? her mind screams at her, begging her muscles to run, do anything, to get away from this place. Why am I here? the words echo through her mind. Her thoughts race, going back, tracing connections. Connections, that led to her father's side. Her thoughts turn sour. 3... Her body tenses, more adrenaline seeming to pump through her systems 2... Her muscles tense, screaming 1. The gong vibrated her entire being, echoing across the pristine waters. The too pristine waters. The training they had been given, came to the forefront of her mind, and she swims towards the cornucopia, grabbing a backpack, and a bow. (If there is any) @The Bookwyrm Quote No fear, i am here

Narrowly avoiding the attack If you want to do it that way, I’ll be happy to oblige Rueben thinks as he switches his rock now made weapon to his other non weakened hand and strikes at the aggressive boy hitting him square in the chest.

Exotic Almond he/him Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 5 hours ago, SpiritOfWrath said: Berin crouches through the woods, eventually finding a tribute dragging a kayak. He drops his stealth, holding his hands up, in an attempt to convince this tribute of a lack of ill intent. “Do you need help with that?” Berin asks, slipping on a small grin. They adopt sad expressions, but he ignores them. @Exotic Almond "AH!!!" Casper starts and drops the kayak, quickly trying to collect himself while brandishing his machete "Who are you? Be warned, I have a machete." It's clear that combat is not his strong suit despite his appearance. Quote He's survived in the wilds for a while with his family so he looks rather well muscled but in reality he spent most of that time learning foraging and herbalism.

Quote Worth mentioning that in this RP you shouldn't make it too hard for your character to get hit. That was a point blank shot right right after he has thrown his own punch. Also, when did he get a rock? Murr backed up, mitigating the force of the hit. He still grunted in pain, but he didn't stop, lunging forward and grabbing Reuben before swinging for the head again.

Murr's mind emptied, leaving a desperate silence as he attacked relentlessly, trying to get a strike on the boy's head while he was overwhelmed, struggling to knock him off balance.

Man my legs are vulnerable right now, one solid hit to my kneecaps and I’m falling down Rueben steels himself, getting ready to get away from his assailant as fast as possible.

You might have more weapons than me, but this jungle is deadly to those who don’t know its secrets.” hopefully she doesn’t kill me. “Also, why are you talking to yourself?” He really wouldn't be that much use to her. If the past years had proved anything, it was that she could handle herself. But he was just a kid. And besides, who wants to die alone? Well alone with the weird ghost of one of your ancestors, but still alone. Sharlin forced herself to remain emotionless though, even to the point of parody. She didn't want to seem overly-compassionate. The sponsorship people wouldn't like it. "I talk to myself because I've gone completely insane," Sharlin said with a sigh, lowering her crossbow. So you do have a conscience.
