Roleplaying

Harlem nodded, "Yeah, remember those crazy wildabeast,cheetah things." he said remembering the first few nights of the games. "They almost killed us!" "And I have a feeling that was only the half of it!" but as Harlem was talking the hair on the back of his neck stood up, and his muscled tensed.

He suddenly stood stock still an cocked his head to the side like dogs do when they hear something. "Did you hear that?" he asked, as he reached for his trident. Maybe I'm just being paranoid......or maybe not? he thought. Then comfirming his suspicions somewhere off to his left he heard quiet breathing.

It didn't take long for Veronica to have her weapon in her hand, holding it tightly as she stood next to Harlem, she heard it, the shallow breaths, her gaze scanned through the bushes in the direction she heard the breathing, she was tense and ready for a fight dispite her exhaustion.  Quieting her breathing herself, she made her breaths to be what seemed undetectable to the human ear, and was completly soundless as she watched the brush line around her, focused ahead, her eyes there sharp and piercing blue that looked like it could cut through you with one hard glare, and slowly, she raised her blade to a subtle position.

Dayna too went silent to a normal human ear, own cold blue eyes - or, eye, as the other couldn't be seen behind her red hair - staring back at the others through the leaves, seeing but unseen. 

"Well this sucks. What am I supposed to do now?"

In all honesty, Dayna didn't know the answer to this half-sarcastic question she asked herself. What was she supposed to do now? There were these two, the boy looking like a strong one and the girl... Just annoying, and they had both detected her more easily than she had thought. Weren't other-district children supposed to be stupid?

Apparently, whatever they were 'supposed' to be was not present right now.

Dayna remained motionless.

As Harlem scanned the brush, trying to pick out anything that seemed unnatural, the breathing he heard stopped and only his quiet quiet breaths could be heard. "Look, you might as well show yourself and die quickly, or I can find you, and belive me, I'll make your death as slow and painful as possible." he said in a suddenly menacing tone. Harlem's normally ocean ble eyes were now a deep angry green. This was a sign that he was dead serious and ready to kill.

(@Sai does Dayna want to join their Carrer group, or are they just ganna battle or something?)

Veronica could no longer hear anything, and despite Harlem's, what she classified as to be, threats, she took a less offensive stature. Relaxing a bit, but kept her attention on the bushes and brush, she wasn’t about to stand down completely just yet, despite her inability to any longer hear even a whisper of a breath, besides what she could detect from Harlem and the faint wisp of air from her own lungs, that she had slowed to every twenty seconds in order to listen more carefully, she was beginning to doubt that there was anyone there, probably a mistake.

((Dayna is just hiding from them for the moment. She will fight them if she has to, but not when they're together.

Actually all she wants to do right now is possibly steal their food and supplies and hightail it. XD))

 

Dayna was not intimidated and kept stone still, save for her fingers subtly tightening around the knife in her hand, and her upper lip curling into a faint smirk. 

"Just move on, children. Move on."

It was for this that she waited... She wished, however, that she had heard them coming sooner so that she could have come up with some last-minute trap. Unfortunately, neither her luck nor her hearing would allow for success such as that.

Harlem sensed that Dayna wasn't going to cooperate, and he tensed up even more. "Fine, I guess your gonna do this the hard way." he said with a devilish grin. Harlem dropped his pack and trident, then pulled out his sword. Then he began slicing through the brush, it was starting to look like more of a clearing than a jungle. He continued to slice until there was one patch of bushes left.

Twirling his sword, Harlem quietly walked towards the bushes in which Dayna was hiding. Stopping a few feet away from the bush Harlem tilted his head to the side, he heard buzzing in the distance. It was an unusual sort of buzzing, more like a hum. " No, it can't be!" Harlem said as he thought two dreadful words, Tracker Jackers................

Veronica didn't get the chance to stop Harlem before it was to late, and now the humming just about confirmed her fears "Tracker Jackers..." she mumbled what Harlem was thinking, she grabbed his arm, looking around "I think we should forget who ever is hiding in the bush Harlem, and just run" she half way whispered letting go of his arm and started walking backwards, her gaze flickering around cautiously, but the humming seemed to continue to get louder, which was definatly nerve wracking, she had forgotten about the person in the bush now and didn't care, she just wanted to run, but wasn't about to leave Harlem behind her. 

Dayna tensed up as the boy whipped out an unsettlingly long blade and started hacking through the brush.

"Well this isn't working." She crouched lower as he started to draw near and narrowed her eyes, trying to call up a last minute plan. 

Her own words were pushed out of her mind, though, when a much-familiar humming rose to a pitch her ear could detect, and she swore silently. The other two had evidently heard it as well.

She waited for a few minutes as the sound got louder... 

She stuck the knife in her hand between her teeth and held on to it there. In a flash of dark clothing and red hair she had broken free of the brush and zipped right past the other two, surprisingly light on her feet, for being short and somewhat stocky, and was hightailing it for her life through the brush.

( look who's back!! :))

Quickly sheathing his sword, Harlem grabbed his pack and dashed after Dayna, and away from the aproching Tracker Jackers. "C'mon! Veronica, its not safe" he said as he ran through the brush.

( By the way if you have read the Hunger Games books you know how dangerous the Tracker Jackers are, and how they can remember things for a very long time. )

((lol))

Veronica certainly did not need convincing as she charged after Harlem, the ringing of the tracker jackers hummed loudly in her ears along with the rapid beating of her heart that was pounding hard in her chest.  She took in quick but deep breaths, she was pacing herself but was still moving rather fast as she came up along Harlem, nearly passing him in the process, she looked back behind her which unfortunatly slowed her down a little bit and she put an extra burst of energy into her motions.

((don't they like attack you until you die or something and have serious attitude problems?))

(Yeah, I think so! X) )

Seeing Veronica catch up Harlem emmited a short sigh of relief and then ran even faster as he heard the sond of the tracker jackers get closer.

(and even if they don't kill you their venom will eventually, and it gives you crazy halucinations)

Veronica continued running "Jeez! These things can really move fast!" she said in a winded breath as she attempted to move her feet faster as they pounded the ground beneath her Just keep moving! she said to herself over and over again "We need to find somewhere to hide or something!" she said urgently, she had her doubts at the possability of them out running the creatures.  She still had her knife gripped in her hand, man if she fell now she would probably end up impaling herself with it.

((lol well that is just a marvelously comforting thought isn't it?))

(Ha Ha yeah :D )

Harlem was thinking the exact same thing as he continued to run (well not the knife part :) ) "Yeah, but I hope you don't mind getting dirty or wet because the only way for us to lose them is to either cover our scents in water or mud. They have an impeccable sense of smell for bugs." he said in an impressed but regretfull sorta tone.  As he thought of how close they were geting, he spotted a small pond a few yards up ahead, if they sprinted they could make it, "Hey do you see that pond over there?" he asked Veronica.

Veronica was focusing on running, but glanced over at him as he spoke, and really, at a time like this she really wouldn't care if they had to cover there scents by rolling in animal poop.  She was about to say something but cut herself off as she looked over at the pond he was refering to and immediatly knew what he was getting at "Yeah I see it, race ya there!" she said and immediatly headed for it completly prepared to jump in as she attempted at speeding up even faster, managing to get to her top speed, and for safty measures, flicked the blade of her knife shut single handedly.

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.
