Roleplaying

(Thanks for keeping my character active)

Veronica looked up from Apple and the meat she was still cooking over the fire flames to sthe sight of Harlem coming out of the forest, not noticing hes wounds at first "There's more?" she asked, but once she did she asked "You alright?" she was even more concerned than she was about the other tributes, she glanced around and grabbed a nearby large and smooth piece of driftwood dragging it over closer "Here, sit down so I can look at it." she said refering to the large slash he had, the amount of blood worried her to, but whether it was his own or the other tributes she didn't know.

Harlem nodded and sat on the driftwood, "Yeah, I didn't go to far from camp but then I came across this guy who was staked out in a tree, he tried to spear me but I ducked just in time." he said wincing from the pain. "I killed him, but not before he did that." he said pointing to the large gash that was running down his back. He wobbled a little, faint from the loss of blood. He then took a few sips of water, not being able to stand being vulnerable.

(No problem, I hate it when people move on and I get left behind, so I try not to do that to others)

Veronica scooted over closer to him, there was a lot of blood that's for sure, she grabbed a rag and weted it gently wiping away as much of the blood as she could so she could get a better look at it, it was bad that's for sure, but not as bad as all the blood made her think which was a huge relief, quickly she dug through the first aid kit as she held the rag on the gash across his back, "Tell me if it hurts ok?" she pulled out a roll of gos,she took a clean rag and replaced the bloody one with it then used the gos best she could to wrap it up tightly to stop the bleeding.

Harlem tried to reasure Veronica with a small smile, "Truthfully, it hurts like heck." he  said as he looked out over the water, watching the waves lap at the shore, if this was the last thing he would see, then he was okay with that, he pulled Veronica down a little so he could whisper in her ear, "If anyone is to win this I want it to be you, and If I don't go back, would you take care of my little brothers and sisters, you know make sure they eat and do their schoolwork?" he said, his deep blue eyes pleading.

Veronica couldn't believe he really asked her that and she looked up at him sadly and nodded agreeing to watching his siblings, she looked like she was going to cry again but held it back best she could, she didn't know what to say so she just started talking and choked up a little as she spoke "You can't just die...you're gonna make it Harlem you have to, you're the first friend I've had in a long time if ever and to think that I'm gonna loose you like this it will kill me if you go, can't you fight just a little longer?"

Harlem managed a small smile, "I'll try my best."he said, "after all we have something to live for." said Harlem as he hauld himself up, leaning on his trident for support. He then stood up, and with all his might he raised the golden, sparkling trident in the air, "For the districts, for my family, for my life!" he said in a proud, loving, and triumphant voice, his deep swirling blue eyes shinning. From this day on, he actually understanded the true meaning of life, and what It meant to be alive. And like a swarm of bees that had been sprayed with gas (if this makes sense) he passed out on the ground. He looked as if he was dead, but you could see the gentle rise and fall of his chest, signalling that he was still alive and breathing............but for how long.

THe whole time they were worrying about eachother and sentimetalizing, Apple had been effectively using his heavily muscled tail, stabbing holes in the container.  As soon as Harlem collapsed, he took this chance for an escape.  Since Veroncia would probably be trying to help Harlem, he could ram into that circle of holes, bust out, and scurry back to his master, so that he could forage for food to make a new pile.  And, while he was thinking about his master, he realized that it might be some of master's poisons taking effect on the enemy!  Master was continually helping Apple.

Veronica saw Apple run off but she really didn't care anymore, she hit the ground falling onto her knees and a tear rolled down her cheek, if he didn't make it she would've fallen over and died right next to him, but she knew she couldn't, she made a promise and was going to stick to it, she managed to get herself up on her feet again and picked him up the best she could, he was lighter than she thought unless it was pure adrenaline kicking in that helped, she carried him over and layed him down on the hamock, his blood had started to seap through the rag and gos, she quickly took off the old stuff and replaced it, he was still bleeding but not as bad as before, she tied it around him tighter to compress and stop the bleeding, but it wasn't just the blood loss, there had to be more to it than that, suddenly she remembered Apple was attacking his ankle, she dug through the first aid kit again, there wasn't much left but it was worth a shot, she gave him the antidote they had for when Apple attacked her, the arrow wounds were almost completly healed and Whitefire had already taken care of the poison from that...she knew there was more that she should've been able to do but had no idea what it was, she sat down leaning back against one of the trees the hamock was tied to trying to think but it was to hard, she was clueless and ran out of ideas...

As he struggled to breathe, Harlem started fading, he saw his mom telling him she loved him. But then he saw his older brother Sean looking at him, Harlem groaned, "No, I'ts not your time yet, sorry but you gotta live." Sean said. And just like that Harlem snapped back into the real world he sat up arubtly spitting up blood, he then fell back into the hammock, but at least now he was concious and actually alive. Harlem reached down and held Veronica's hand tight, "The deer meat, don't eat it, it's poisionus, it has parasites in it." he said before drifting into an in and out conciousness.

Veronica turned and looked at the meat that was still sitting over the fire cooking, she stood up and knelt down next to the fire pulling off a piece of it to examine it and sure enough it did, she chucked it into the flames This is what happens when I don't check to make sure the food is safe to eat! she thought angerly to herself, quickly she started to get rid of the rest of the meat throwing it into the flames ticked off and irritated at her own stupidity, when she finished getting rid of it she walked back over towards Harlem and sat next to him again by the tree.

(Sorry I took so long to post, I went to grab a snack)

(lol I had to go get the mail, 1/2 mile there and back phew long jog lol)

Veronica was still hungry being as she could no longer eat the deer meat, she tried to ignore it though, she was able to last a long time without food, well used to be able to until Apple attacked her now she was hungry more often than not, they would all need food and she would have to hunt sometime soon but she wouldn't be able to take it if something happened to Harlem while she was gone, and odds are she would just bring something back that wasn't safe to eat anyways like last time...

Harlem broke out into a sweat and he was extremely tired, he pointed to his survial pack, that now had a hole in it from Apple's whole scavengeing feat. "Wa-Water." he said, feeling rather faint. It was hard to tell weather he would survive the night, and since he was stung by Apple and the venom makes you hungry, he would have to eat, but the parasites prevented him from holding down any food.

Then the most miraculos thing happened, in the artificial blue sky, a little shinny silver parachute fluttered down and landed at Veronica's feet. Inside the parachuter was some medicine to cure worms and other parasites that like to live inside people.

The sound of his voice made Veronica jump a little, but she quickly scrambled over towards his bag on her hands and knees digging through it, she found the water and hurried back towards him opening the water bottle for him and handed it to him, unsure if he would need help to drink it or not, then she dug through the survival case that was dropped down, at the sight of the medicine her eyes widened "I never thought I'd say this but thank the capitol!" she said excitedly as she read the instructions on the container through before giving him the medicine hoping it would work.

Harlem took a sip of the water, hands shaking and heart pounding.

The Arena:

The Arena in the Games is deadly. Lethal traps, ensnaring nets, murderous mutts, all because last year the Gamemakers decided it wasn't challenging enough.

A forest, mountains, valley, beach and ocean is the basic terrain of the arena.
 

The Cornucopia

Tributes start at the Cornucopia, inside a huge copper dome. The metal plates are surrounded by mines, but here's the trick: after 60 seconds, not all of the mines are deactivated... Tributes have to figure out a safe way to get across the mines to the Corn where all of the supplies are.

It contains:

Large Food Packs (containing 3 loaves of bread, 2 packets of beef jerky, 1 packet of fish jerky, two large pickles, a packet of smoked ham, a packet of dried fruits, a can of pineapples, and a gallon water bottle.)
Small Food Packs (containing 1 loaf of bread, 1 packet of beef jerky, two potatoes, one tomato, a small packet of dried fruit, and a pint water bottle.)
Loaves of Bread (Rye, white, and sourdough.)
Cans (Pineapple, tomato, chicken noodle soup, beef broth.)
Sacks of Dried Fruit
Sacks of Potatoes
Packets of Beef Jerky
Packets of Fish Jerky
Packets of Water Purification Tablets (each packet contains 15 tablets)
Sleeping Bags
Survival Packs (Containing a small amount of food, purification tablets, sleeping bag, small knife, small first aid kit)
Basic First-Aid Kits
Coils of thin, very strong rope (30 feet long)
Water Bottles

Note: You are allowed one sponsor gift every two days. This includes heated wet-suits, poisons, etc...

Second Note: If you grab a lot of stuff, you will be seriously slowed down. This means you have to move and fight slower

The Hunger Games

When the 13 Districts rebelled against the Capitol, the Capitol defeated 12 of the Districts, obliterating the 13th entirely. As punishment, the Capitol has declared that each district send two tributes (one male and one female) between the ages of 12 and 18, to participate in the annual Hunger Games.


The Hunger Games are a fight to death on live T.V. Twenty-four tributes are sent into an arena with weapons and food, not to mention bloody game-maker traps. The rules are simple: Kill or be killed. Who will win in the Hunger Games?

Basically the same as the plot

No Godmodding/Powerplaying (i.e being invincible, killing people without permission etc.)
Please use good grammar(no text talk!)
Be realistic(if you are completely cornered, trapped or are fighting against someone much stronger than you, you will be badly injured or killed)
Please don’t send yourself unrealistic gifts
I control disasters and arena surprises. Don’t just make up your own.
You can rp up to 3 tributes but no more.
NO Mary-Sues!(your character can’t be perfect)

How This Works
Your character starts at the Cornucopia on a round, metal plate. You must wait sixty seconds before stepping off your plate, or you will be destroyed by the mines around it.

Once the gong sounds, you can either run away as fast as you can, grab something from the Corn, or participate in the Bloodbath for the right to the best supplies.

The Bloodbath is the initial fighting next to the Corn. Usually, the Career Tributes* and some of their allies fight off their weaker opponents and get most of the loot.


The Careers
The Careers are usually the Tributes from Districts 1, 2, and 4 who train for the Hunger Games. They are usually the strongest and best equipped, and they form a career pack to try and hunt down the other tributes.

Alliances
Tributes can form alliances with other tributes. In an alliance, tributes keep each other alive, therefore improving their own chances of survival. Alliances can be broken by whoever and whenever.

District 1: Luxury Goods
District 2: Mining
District 3: Electronics

District 5: DNA Experiments
