  1. We understand your issues, but so far there hasn't been enough conflict that we want to have an IM quite yet. We'll probably put one in at some point in the future, though. We're trying to keep this fun for everyone, and while I don't agree that we're overly unfair, it won't do any good to argue about it. Thanks for sharing your opinions, but some things might not be changing, at least not yet. I hope you can enjoy this anyway!
  2. They'll be set in an arena? Talent approved! Your Talent is a little vague, but for now approved! Some limitations might be good, like only one animal every day, but as long as you don't go completely crazy and do animals like...a starfish that can regrow limbs, or a frog that can kill people by touching them, it should be good! The district RP's will continue for the next 3 weeks, we might temporarily lock them during the actual games, but that's still to be decided!
  3. To anyone who's interested...

      eh, I don't care.

      No! Come back bookwyrm!

  4. Hello there, and happy hunger games to all! (Sorry about how long this post is, but please read it all! It's very important information!) To those who thought this was going to be cosmere, sorry about the confusion there. Here you can sign up for the Smedry Hunger Games! To those who haven’t read Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians, the coppermind is your friend…or you can read really really fast. Since each of your characters is essentially young nobility, it’s pretty logical that a lot of them could be distant cousins. So, each character will have a Talent; a silly little magical quirk that can be both annoying and useful; such as the ability to always be late, which could be a problem for most of your life, until you arrive late to an injury, or your own death… (if you haven’t read Alcatraz, this is an example from the books. Don’t use it pretty please). Come up with any Talent you'd like, but we need to approve it. If you'd rather not have a Talent, that's okay too! To sign up, just fill out the character sheet below and post it here! Only the things in red are required, but the more you develop your characters, the funner it'll be to play them! (Psst-the GM's love conflict. If even one or two characters can facilitate that, it makes our job easier and the games funner!) Note: all tributes must be children from the capitol. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please put them in the chat thread. If you’d like to plan alliances or relationships with other characters, that’s awesome, but please do that in the chat thread or through PM’s. (We’d like to keep this thread from getting too clogged up, so as to not lose anyone’s character sheets). Signups will close at midnight on February 11th, I assume EST but I’m not sure, so get your characters in before then! The games will startIn the meantime, you can keep roleplaying and developing characters in the district RP’s, though none of your characters will know they’re going to be in the hunger games. You can start using your Talent in the district RP’s ONLY once myself, @SmilingPanda19, or @Invisible have approved it. So, your GM’s for this games! Panda will get out a more detailed intro for each of them sometime soon, but for now, your GM's are played by @Edema Rue, @SmilingPanda19, @The Wandering Wizard, @InvisibIe, and @Invisible. One last thing: In the past, the games have moved incredibly quickly for an RP, so a couple things to be aware of: if more than 20 pages pass without you posting, or if you stop responding to mentions, (there's no exact numbers, we have to play it by ear as things progress), we may have to kill off your character. If something comes up and you have to drop out, that's just fine, but we ask that you let us know. As GM's, we try to keep track of everything, but sometimes that can be very hectic. So, if you need to talk to a specific player or GM, please quote or mention them so that your posts don't get lost in the flood! If you die early on but would still like to participate, PM the GM's! As long as you're communicating with us, we're happy to work with you and figure things out. As always, thanks so much for playing, and we look forward to watching your characters die in various ways! Happy hunger games, and may the odds be never in your favor.
  5. More awareness in what way?
  6. We're planning on no IM for this one. I can go into detail if you'd like, but it boils down to this: we don't have a major need for it yet, and would like to refine the process a little bit more before implementing it here. I hope that's okay with everyone!
  7. The rock, as well as several others, followed him to the cabin.
  8. Signups will be opening sometime in the next 2 hours, depending on whether I get distracted by slugs and stories
  9. I thank you both. I might kill you or your families at some point, but for the moment I accept your service. (for legal reasons this is a joke) I want to say it's like a religious monster?
  10. Serve me... Pretty please?
  11. Hey guys, so I know I haven’t written anything in a bit. Partially that’s because I’ve been so busy (spent 14 hours at the school yesterday ), but also… I sorta maybe kinda? won a writing contest through teen author boot camp, which means that my story (and like 15 others that they chose) gets to be published in a short story anthology. But the way it works is that I get to go through it with a professional editor to make it even better, so my writing time (any that I have xD) is going to that. Anyway, I’ll hopefully have more with Liz soon, and maybe some other things too
  12. She said, you have married an Icarus, he has flown too close to the sun.
  13. (Disclaimer: I'm still not a nerd) When your teacher tells you to write a single page in size 15 font and you panic because you were planning a whole novel.
  14. YKYASFW your English teacher is (referring to Shakespeare) talking about how sometimes it's hard to believe that one person could really write so many incredible things, and you start thinking about the Sando...
  15. I- I cannot be insulted by this. It’s true. xD
  16. To the theatre, regarding magic:

    Magic lives,

    Within your walls.

    And that magic happens

    Because we’ve built it. 

    The magic is there while we perform, yes, but the moments it happens most are seen by none but the cast. 

    The magic is there after hours of rehearsal. 

    The magic is there when the tears shed backstage are dried as we enter. 

    The magic is there when lines oft forgotten are remembered in a moment of utter terror. 

    The magic is there after a single screamed word, when the audience dares not breathe. 

    The magic is there when an actor crumples to your floor and weeps for an audience to see.

    The magic is there as fake blood oozes off shaking hands.

    The magic is there in the condemning gaze of a bloody ghost. 

    You are filled with magic, and through you we learn witchcraft of our own.

    Our spells are built from hours spent with people we never knew before.

    And we the cast will cast them together, 

    In pictures,

    And tight hugs,

    And laughter,

    And tears.

    I live for magic,

    And I find my magic in you.

    I live to love,

    And you let me be loved.

    I live for pretense,

    And there is none more beautiful than that I see on your stage.

    So long I have ached

    For the magic I now find.

    And though today ought to be hopeless

    And though we’re barely breathing

    And though all that could be right is wrong,

    In you I see magic.

    And in the actors I see family.

    And in their arms I am home.

    And so,

    Though we struggle,

    I can smile.

    And that,

    Perhaps,

    Is the truest magic there is.

    To laugh at the dark, though there be no sign of light.

    For within your walls,

    I am not alone any longer.

    Spoiler

    Sorry I know I just posted an SU...

    y'all theatre people give the most wonderful hugs, especially when they're covered in fake blood that looks real and everyone's laughing and for a moment, the world feels right and everything will be okay. Even though I'm not sleeping or working out or eating healthy or doing my homework. Even though the rest of the world is falling apart and our director (rightly) called us the most embarrassing cast he's ever worked with and we open in a week and half the leads aren't memorized...

    Even though all that, I'm okay. 

    I have no explanation but God, and no words to voice my gratitude.

    ...

    I love theatre.

      Guys I promise I'm more than just theatre but also it's taking over my everything right now...

      My throat is dead, so I was drinking herbal tea, and I went to pick it up and my brain went "You're hotter than [name] when he's wearing a crown onstage. And [name] when he has fake blood on his hands."

      ...am I okay? DEFINITELY. *also hugs Cash because not having theatre is misery*

      *thinks of way to break wholesome moment*
      *asks “So are the two [names] the same person?” in the most sarcastically inquiring voice*

      Spoiler

      I’m sorry I had to do it! Breaking moments is my specialty. I’ll tell third wheeling stories sometime

      I think so.

      I had kinda theorized before it came out that it would be, and it was pretty much confirmed when it talked about 

      Spoiler

      how the Magnus institute had burned down in 1990 something

      Ah...well, if you finish it, let us know!! 

  18. Inen loses the child, and sighs, thinking of a warm building with stew. His shift is almost over…it can’t hurt to leave a little early…
  19. Um um um so I said I wasn’t RPing for this month, and I’m already on here way too much… But if this takes off I really really want this.
  20. The peacekeeper saluted, and Ellin nodded, turning to go.
  21. Ellin hesitates. “That may not be enough…it might be best if they don’t get a day in the districts tomorrow.”
  22. Satisfied, Ellin turned and walked out. “Work the children in this faction harder tomorrow,” he muttered to a peacekeeper outside the door. “They’re getting rebellious.”
  23. Inen shoved the girl away and ran towards the child with the other peacekeepers. “Come here!”
  24. Ellin frowned. When none of them moved, he pulled out a baton and started poking it into beds at random.
