Mini Arena 3

[etcircenses]

The kids are picked up from the daycare bright and early, but by the Capitol instead of their parents. It's just like old times in the arenas, with only children to contend.

25 - 24 - 23

Stylists are starting to get used to the mini-arenas, though it doesn't mean they've been allowed to dress tributes in whatever they want. All the tributes will be dressed as proxy copy of a respective video game character. All tributes are reminded about the ticket rules for this round.

20 - 19 - 18 - 17 - 16

The platforms lift them up, and there is no cornucopia to be seen. The only way tributes will be able to help and protect themselves is if they go out of their way to harm another tribute and get the tickets, which will be tallied by their watches. The lights of the games flicker and glow within the dark. Classic video game fight tunes play overhead. Before them lay a great and stretching obstacle course, filled with animatronic enemies and various other hazards.

11- 10 - 9 - 8

They've all been warned, don't step off your pedestal early. They have also been warned to put on a good show. That's all this is about, a good show. None of them have been told that there can be multiple winners this time around.

5 - 4

The sound of the gong plays crystal clear across the opening. The games have begun.

[OOC: Remember, this is forwardated by a week.]

Re: closed to Ruffnut

Eponine screams as the goo splashes all over her, and she spits to get rid of the foul taste from her mouth. But the goo soon becomes the least of her worries as the rope bridge she's crouched on swings wildly as Ruffnut lands nearby and Eponine is nearly pitched over the edge.

"HEY!" She shouts angrily. "Don't do such a stupid thing! Do you want me dead?"

Though as Eponine realises who it is, she realises that yes, this stupid girl should quite love to have a dead Eponine at her feet.

Ruffnut's head snapped up to see who she had landed on and glowered, shoving and scrambling at Eponine to put some distance between them.

"Who cares? I just wanted to get away from that giant bird...where did it go?"

Ruffnut had looked up pointing angrily towards the bird that had been chasing her but it was mysteriously gone.

"No...seriously where did it go? That thing was huge!" She was twisting about now still causing the bridge to twist and tremble trying to see where the chicken had moved to before turning back around to face Eponine.

"You saw it didn't you? The giant bird?"

"STOP IT!" Eponine screamed as the platform rocked and twisted. The slime just made it all the more difficult to cling to the platform.

"Stop it!" She went to push Ruffnut away, kicking out at the girl. If it was a fight to the death, shw was determined to win this time, for Jessica.

"SHUT UP! Stop teasing me on stupid birds, you horrid girl. Go away. I am going to win this time." She cried out, trying to find her feet.

"Ow! Ow back off loser! Ow!" Ruffnut started taking steps away as the kicks lashed out at her. She could take the time to put this girl in her place but there were bigger problems weren't there?

She turned to flee and ran smack into a soft spongy body that stank of death and rotten things.

A bug yellow bird stared down at her with bulgy sunken in eyes and rows of thick teeth lining it's beak.

It screamed.

Ruffnut screamed and fell to the planks of the bridge scrambling backwards just as the animatronic beast tried to grab her.

Eponine screamed as well. She hadn't really believed Ruffnut before when she had blabbered about birds: she had thought that Ruffnut was just trying to scare her. But no, here it was, and Eponine copied Ruffnut, scrambling in the opposite direction, desperately trying to get away.

Re: closed to Ruffnut

[ruffntumblenut]

The two girls were a tangle of arms and legs and Ruffnut crashed ontop of Eponine and flailed to get free, even going so far as planting a foot on Eponine's face as she clambered over the french girl to get away.

This messy display of panic did nothing to slow down the chicken monster who lurched forward flailing it's powerful arms trying to grab either of them.

Re: closed to Ruffnut

Eponine screamed again as Ruffnut fell on her, and she tried desperately to push the girl into the path of the bird in an effort to escape herself. She screeched in Ruffnut's ear in an effort to make the girl move and tried her best to scramble backwards.

Re: closed to Ruffnut

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut winced at the screeching and felt her ear ringing.

To make matters worse the bird let out it's own demonic sound, somewhere between blades scraping on metal and the twisting of steel by force.

Ruffnut let out a scream of her own and grabbed a fistful of Eponine's hair to try and jerk her backwards so she couldn't scramble away. Her own gangly legs were desperately dragging her forward foot by foot as the bird creature loomed over them.
