In the arena:
@Lord Spirit @TheRavenHasLanded @justice magician @Lotus Blossom @TwinSouls
You awaken. @TwinSouls and @justice magician, you are each missing a limb. You can choose the exact details, but it has to be a full arm or a full leg. The rest of you are still injured, but to lesser extents.
@Lotus Blossom, you feel a paper in your clenched fist.
It's still night. But the arena has completely changed shape. Each of you can see the others as you wake up. You're all lying in a basin in the grass, shaped almost like an arena...the sides are sheer, and a force field glimmers faintly, only it seems to have several holes near the base. In the distance, you can still see the volcano. Stars, how can you not see it?
It glows brightly orange, completely covered in lava...lava that's flowing down towards the arena where all the tributes wait. Suddenly the holes in the force field have a clear purpose. They're too small for the tributes to get through...but the lava will flow through easily, and there will be no escape.
"Fight," a cruel voice says. "One of you can live, or all of you can die."

This is foolish, the voice that was not Aby said. You know that we're capitol, Zira. Don't destroy our own people.
"Make me."
Aby trembled. Stop, she begged. You're monsters. These people have-have families.
"Ah, yes," the one who called herself Zira. "Is that why you sent that note? You are nothing, Aby. You only exist because they were scared of us. Stop whining."
I would remind you, the other one, Siylna, said, that I lived before you did.
"Poor, poor Siylna," Zira crooned. "Guess you wasted your chance."
Then Zira froze, and her eyes flashed blue. "I wouldn't be so sure about that," Siylna said, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "I have a whole life left to live."
What did you do?!
"Only taking what's mine..." Siylna sighed. "I'll let them fight. To do otherwise would be weak. But next time you waste what I want...you'll suffer, my dear."
