Gamemaker Call Anansi sits back in his white padded chair, kicking his feet up on the desk. Screens covered in cameras and audio surround him, hundreds of sounds and images float around him as other gamemakers type furiously to manage everything. A young man, probably 12 years old, walks up to him. He has similar features to Anansi, medium brown hair with dark olive skin. His eyes have a dark blue shade to them with gold flakes on the edges. He is of lean build, the biggest difference to Anansi. You could never say Anansi was a lean man, he always had what his mother called “Natural Muscle.” However, as he’s gotten older some of that faded away. Still, the young man is nearly a clone of Anansi himself. “The phone is ringing…” He mumbles, yet his voice is more noticeable than the endless audio and images around Anansi, it has a unique squeakiness to it. “Is it now?” He leans over from his chair and picks up the phone, looking to see who could be bothering him as such an enjoyable time. Before he can even see the name the young boy answers his question. “Your henchmen.” Anansi swats his hand at him, grinning his classic pearly smile. “Don’t call them that… at least not when they can hear.” The boy leans on his chair. “Well aren’t they?” He smiles back at Anansi. “They are, but they don’t like to admit it. You’ll understand one day, pride corrupts people Cassy.” The boy cuts him off, a bit of a joking tone in his voice. “I told you to stop calling me that, Ani.” “And I told you to stop calling me Ani, looks like we are at a standstill.” They go silent for a minute just staring at each other before Anansi ruffles his hair. “You're as stubborn and ridiculous as your mama.” The boy rolls his eyes. “Nuh-uh. She fell in love with you.” I just grin at him. “You know what, whatever Cassian, I don’t have time for this.” He pushes him off the chair playfully. “Fine, Dad.” Cassian sticks his tongue out at Anansi. “Now get on, I got a call to take.” He shoos him off before looking down at the still ringing phone. That boy sure was a lot like him whether he liked it or not. He chuckles to himself. How’d I end up with an angel for a son… Anansi answers the call and leans back. “Anansi Bonswear, Head Gamemaker, speaking…” @Edema Rue

@Witisthebest (I dunno how to tag you-) @Silver Phantom @The Sibling @Aeoryi @Cinnamon

out of the floor a little speaker rumbles. "Oh, but don't forget. If you both don't complete the challenge both your pins will pop and you'll both be subject to the arenas predators..." A evil giggle comes from the speaker.

In the sky a blue hologram of Anansi appears with a loud gong. He clears his throat, running his hand through his hair. "As you all may have noticed, your gifts arrived! I sent you a personal hologram before you were placed into the arena telling you what you git was. Since this appears to be so bland.... *clears throat* I will now announce what everyone got." *In the sky appears a hologram beside him showing everyone* A bucket - Kaa (District 1) Bow and Quiver (Ten arrows provided) - Ezrium (District 2) Gas Mask - Fen - Fylf (District 3) Small Water Canteen - [Redacted] (District 4) Flashlight (two batteries) - Oradin (District 5) Small pouch of gunpowder - Rayan - Ninddle (District 6) Dull hatchet - Kamadori - Ryn (District 7) Warm blanket - Bob - Aekelohanar (District 8) Small loaf of bread - Sharp - Kelni (District 9) Small pocket knife - Rolen - Wren (District 10) Small pouch of sunflower seeds - Amyra Ay (District 11) One explosive ball - Sage (District 12) *Anansi grins from ear to ear* "Now that everyone is very aware of what everyone has I have a little secret for you." *He holds up a pin* "Everyone was given a district pin and it was put into your suit. It is unable to be removed so don't try." *He then holds up a pocket knife* "Each one of your items is your life line. " *drops the pocket knife* "Whoops-" *The pin pops and turns to dust* "What we didn't tell you is that your pin contains a special formula us game makers like to call "Hunger Juice." This Hunger Juice is stuck within your pin and when it explodes it disappears. Every single predatory animal in this arena hates hunger juice... but if your hunger juice dissappears... your dead meat." He snickers. "Now that you understand that VERY IMPORTANT concept... time to have some fun. The reason I'm telling you this is because if your item is taken your hunger juice explodes... and the only way for your item to get taken is for someone to take it...." "Now you may be wondering, Mr. Oh Great Handsome and Wonderful Anansi why would they take my precious item? I have your answer. In exactly 24 hours your pin will explode. IIIIIIIIFFFF you do not get your competitors item. Half of you will be subject to the predators, the other half will not. That is up to you." He sets his things down and looks at the hologram. "Here is your assigned competitors. You must have both your item and your opponents by the end of the 24 hour period in order to keep your Hunger Juice." Kaa VS Fen Ezrium VS Kelni Rayan VS Sage Amyra Ay VS Wren Kamadori VS Sharp Ninddle VS Ryn Flyf VS [Redacted] Bob VS Oradin Aekelohanar VS Rolen You must steal their opponents item while keeping their own till the end of the 24 hour period or your pin will explode. Anansi Bonswear, Over and Out.

Suddenly your gift parachutes drop from the sky. (Gtg)

RAFO

Eddie and I will not be available after it starts until several hours later. So if you have any questions please please please email me. [email protected] and I can contact Elan or Eddie if necessary. When Eddie starts it feel free like to post but any questions on the shard will have to wait for some time and any emails will be answered as fast as possible. (It starts this morning and Eddie is starting it on a separate thread) Have a great time guys! I’ll be spectating through emails till I can get on!

Smart, very smart. That had a lot less people tho. This will be more chaotic. We have nearly 20 people I believe. We have 22 with Gamemakers.

*Gamemaker cackling in the background* W a t c h o u t b u d d y b o y

Also, just a heads up, today is the first day and I will be keeping track of everyone who posts. So at least get one post out in the first 24 hours of when we start. If people don’t participate by 48 hours in we may remove them if not a particular reason for lack of participation. We start 9 AM EST

Can we kill them first-

Yeah. Mhm. Casual Wednesday night.

Yes. Yes we did.

Careful, there’s a force-field back there. *Team Peeta* Whats your favorite color? *Team Peeta* Katniss, go, get out of here, go. *Team Peeta* I watched you go home every day, every day *cues THO*

Sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of my thunderous awesomeness. TEAM PEETA!

Peeta goes after the things he wants, ain’t no obstacle’s too much. The man blows force-fields just to get CPR 'cause his love language is touch. He throws large weights wherever he aims. A power so special, never used it in the games. He's a hostage now, *poke poke poke* and you know that you miss him. *hip bump* Peeta’s your boo, *shove shove shove* now lean down and kiss him! *little dance*

You never know what strategy Peeta will try. Like joining the careers, or crawling away to die. Unpredictable, he ain't typical. Ok, in looks and fighting I guess he's typical. Uh! Fog almost killed him. Mags gave her life for him. Monkey almost killed him. Morphling gave her life for him. Wounds almost killed him. Katniss risked her life for him. A real man’s not afraid to let women die for him.

But would you rather be the cool insane HeAd GaMeMaKeR AnAnSi BoNSwEaR or some random old guy…
