He holds them close, his breathing slowing. And he goes back to pick up the supplies he dropped.

how many people are at the center right now? Or at least, how many can my person see?

There are two who ran, and the rest are still in the circle.

He would not be able to run very well. After moving for about an hour, the Cornucopia was no longer visible on the horizon.

He took the rope out of his backpack and carried it around one shoulder, which should allow him room to put at least one pouch in. He sat down and carefully removed the spore vials from the pouches and placed them down temporarily, before rearranging the contents of the pouches to put all the food in the same ones and hopefully leaving at least one pouch compleatly empty.

A desolate wasteland surrounded the tributes. Two otherse had already raided the center - not many supplies were left, apart from weapons.

The food fit in two pouches, as did the water bottles. The spores were able to fit in one, leaving one empty. It might not hurt to hang on to it as well. The spore backpack fit best within the larger one.

The sun beat down heavily on him.

He had the supplies from the six slings, although it was practically impossible for him to carry them all. There were also various weapons. There were no swords, hammers, or bows.

There were hills a few miles to the northwest that might have caves. Other than that, her only option would be to climb the decaying trees.

He took the empty pouch and about 3 feet of rope and began to cut the pouch and tie the segments to the rope so that he could put vials in and they wouldn't fall out.

He was only able to find one vial, and it wouldn’t be nearly enough to guard even one side.

Okay… he’s still going to mostly block one side, as it makes it a little easier to control. I assume he doesn’t have any tools for this, so he’ll probably end up with just an unnatural lump of roseite blocking some of one side. How much of crimson and verdant does he have?

NAME: Eventuri Elnatana

GENDER: Male

AGE (12-18): 18

SKILLS: Philosophy and morality (Though his personal philosophy is kind of odd...)

BACKGROUND: He was working as a writer for some big company, publishing works that explained different types of philosophies, though every time he had to add addendums that listed which of them were 'Capitol approved.' 

WORST FEAR: To be proven a hypocrite in his philosophies or principles

FAVORITE COLOR: White- Because it represents, to him, a blank sheet of paper waiting to be filled.

OTHER: He was skilled enough at his poetic writing that he was hired at 16, meaning he's very much lacking education in any field except for his writing/morality. During the rebellion, when he'd have been (I think) 11, he and his family were imprisoned, due to his father taking care of refugees who had sought an escape from the fighting. Apparently, they had been criminals of war, and even being associated with them was enough to send him to prison. His parents died in the prison, fighting off guards while he and his sister managed to escape.

He learned some basic survival skills during this time. If he hadn't, he'd already be dead.

The light given off through the spores seeps out of his stomach through the path of least resistance, through his mouth, back of eyes , ears, ect… and so his eyes have lost their dark vision due to the rods being unfunctional due to over-exposure.

NAME: Caerin Zivale (pronounced K - rin)

GENDER: Female. She/Her.

AGE (12-18): 17

SKILLS: She can whistle very well, she's gone fishing quite a few times, she's gotten good at braiding hair in complicated ways from the time before she cut it short, and she was apprenticed in medicinal practices.

BACKGROUND: Her uncle raised Caerin and her half-brother, Ayon, who is nine years younger than her. They share a father. Caerin's father (her uncle's brother) is often traveling the seas, and he didn't want to bring his two children with him and his crew on his own ship, otherwise they wouldn't receive proper education and, of course, he believed the risk of spores was too dangerous for them. As for Caerin's mother, she has been in prison for seven years, and Ayon's mother died in the civil war. Their father was there when Ayon's mother was killed. Their father's brother was more than willing to raise the two kids, and he has done so since Caerin was ten and Ayon was an infant. The first ten years of Caerin's childhood was spent with her mother, who taught her pottery on the Zephyr Islands (or other equivalent? I see we aren't on Lumar). She has since forgotten it. Her mother was imprisoned after the Civil War. Caerin's uncle located her after her mother was imprisoned, and united her with the baby, Ayon. They have spent the last seven years with their uncle, who has tried to teach them--specifically, Caerin, a child of the revolution--the art of nonviolence and passivity. It isn't going well. Caerin has been trained in medicine simply because her uncle was, and he had nothing better to teach her. They get along fine, but Caerin often wonders if, or wishes that, she has better places to be. Watching the Civil War tear her life apart has changed her view of permanence, and she's learned to avoid hurt by never letting others see her vulnerabilities, and never letting connections or companions get too close. She's made a few more enemies than friends, but has a few good ones out there. All her strength comes from fights or disputes with others and wrestling her uncle's large dogs off of her young brother. She believes her mother is wrongfully in prison, and will never forget the Civil War, even as her uncle continues to try to teach her how to regulate herself. Despite all this, what traumatizes her most of her childhood was that moment when she tried to impress someone by striking a match with one hand, but failed and instead dropped the matchbox on the ground, with all the matches spilling out. Other than that, she has appreciated what she has to call home and who she has to call family. She does not appreciate the dogs for constantly attacking Ayon. 

WORST FEAR: Crying in front of someone else.

FAVORITE COLOR: Dark Green.

OTHER: She's not very good at dancing. She likes seagulls. She is intrigued by deadrunners. She's skeptical of lunar worship. (/idk how much of this works bc we're not on Lunar so you can just ignore it)

NAME: Avaih

GENDER: Female

AGE (12-18): 17

SKILLS: Slightly experienced with spores, although primarily for mundane uses - how sunlight spores are used for cooking for instance, and she grew verdant spores a few times. Is good at math (ik reallll helpful here!) and carving wood. She is also very quiet.

BACKGROUND: Lived in the Sapphire sea equivalent up until the Civil War, when her family had to flee from their home to try to stay safe. Her mother died in the war. Avaih, her father, and her younger sister ended up in the Verdant Sea, and she hasn't been back to the Sapphire Sea since. Until she was Reaped, she worked as an accountant. She is very quiet, and has been since the Civil War, only talking if its important / necessary to speak to someone or to her sister.

WORST FEAR: Disappointing those she cares about

In memory of @Ookla the Bread Duck

You rise from a tube in the middle of a wasteland. Around you are many others. Together, you all form a circle.

At the center of the circle is a pile of supplies, though from here you cannot tell specifics.

A loud sound rang through the arena, followed by a booming voice. “LET THE QUELL BEGIN."

Eventuri has already spent several minutes thinking over his options in his head. He's gone over footage from previous games to try and find the solution. The answer to the question.

There isn't an answer to the question. Or, rather, there's too many answers.

So, he picks the best one, the answer that always suits him : He runs for the hills.

Using the crimson and Verdent spores, he’s going to first use some verdant spores to make a straight-ish vine, then he’s going to use a few crimson to make a sharp point. Then, he’s going to add a bit more water to the verdant vine, so that one end warps itself over part of the crimson spike

Spoiler

Hopefully this makes some Javelin like things that it touch blood or water, kinda explode with spikes and vines, he’ll have to be careful about this. Maybe it’ll backfire at some point. I hope it doesn’t rain.

Basically, he’s got himself a semi-defendable location and is currently making throwing spears/daggers depending on how long each part is
