Where| The catacombs.
When| Monday and on...
Warnings/Notes| Possible violence. Please warn for more in headers. Please see the sign ups for this event here.

In the depths of the catacombs with the rot and the rats, one tunnel leads on. Axes swing down from the walls and stones crumble upon those who are too slow. Bats take bites out of Tributes and the Rats also. Poisonous spiders slip down from the ceiling and some tunnels split off into pitfalls of water.

Eventually after so long walking further down into the dark, some small bit of natural light peeks through for those who've made it through. Light from above illuminates a spiralling staircase. Up the stairs is a new room, one which Tributes would not have been able to reach before. Out of the dark they can now see the stone door that had blocked the way before. The windows are high and barred but the bells sway even higher behind the bars of a locked jail.

Within the room several things have been scattered:( Read more... )

Who | Zed and whoever is unfortunate enough to come across him.

( This Sign, Can You Read It?  )

( I'll Wait Forever... )


( If You'll Just Come To Me. )

The morning breaks to a familiar routine for most of you. Bright and early the Tributes are roused by their escorts and stylists, escorted from their rooms and to the waiting hovercraft. The flight takes them a few hours out from the Capitol and after landing they are escorted quickly into an underground complex to be prepped. Tributes will find to their dismay that their outfits are a little less practical and a little more costume this time around, the ratio of which depends entirely on the whims of their stylist. Peacekeepers will appear almost immediately after they've finished dressing to put them in the waiting launch tubes.

They rise up from the ground and -- phew, what's that smell? The Tribute's look around them to see a full-on medieval village, constructed entirely from wood and thatch. There are empty pens that might have once held pigs and chickens attached to the houses and a well is visible down the street. What commands attention though is what's in the centre of the village square where the Tribute's are standing; a pyre built around a tall wooden stake. Those who look amongst the piles of twigs and wood will see the gleam of weapons, as well as backpacks containing survival supplies. This is your Cornucopia, Tributes.

Anyone who tries to look further afield, over the roofs of the houses, will see the main feature of this arena looming above them. The castle stands tall and forbidding, a monstrous sized building of stone with flags bearing the emblem of the Capitol flying from its parapets. From here, if they squint, they can see the drawbridge is down and the portcullis is open. For now.

A triumphant sounding of trumpets is what signals this arena's beginning and with it those Tribute's with powers may feel a sudden tingling in their bones, a rush of energy as those powers are restored to them. Any with constantly active abilities will find a light illuminates immediately over their head, signalling that something about this powered arena is going to be a little different from the last. For those who try to use their powers right off the bat... well, they'll be in for a nasty shock.


[[OOC: A mod reminder that this arena is designed to punish Tribute's for using powers. If your character will attempt to use powers at any time in week 1 of the arena it needs to be reported here to be RNG'd by the mods for chances of success or injury.

There will be a thread on Death Roll posts for subsequent weeks power usage to be reported.]]

Who| Roland and Zed
What| roland tries to get a yeti drunk so he can kill it. zed happens. eventually roland falls to his death (again)
Where| in the mountains somewhere
When| last week of the arena, maybe friday or saturday
Warnings/Notes| drinking, death

He doesn't stop to doubt whether this is a good plan. It isn't. But he's working with what he's got, which happens to be: One deerhide coat, and extra scraps of hide he'd tanned along with it. Too many medical supplies. Fishing hooks and improvised cord of braided sinew. A couple of improvised shale daggers, small and, due to the type of rock he'd had to use in place of a blade, maybe likely to break if used in a fight. Alcohol. What kind he isn't sure, but by the smell it's got one hell of a kick. He hasn't drank any of it; anything Capitol gives them here Roland treats with deep suspicion, and there'd be no point to drinking this except to make himself stupid and vulnerable. He isn't so desperate as that to entertain the lazing masses watching them back in Panem, but that does not mean he is not going to use it.

( So. Bad plan. )

Who| Zed and anyone who comes across him.
What| Zed comes to the conclusion that these sneezing fits and this rash have to be because he's stayed out in the sun for too long. Later, Zed is kind of an idiot about the lights in the sky.
Where| All over the place; Zed wanders.
When| Weeks 5 and 6.
Warnings/Notes|Talk of murder, violence, allergic reactions, all that typical Arena stuff.
( What do you mean, that sneezing is because of the plants? )

Who| Participants in the bloodbath
What| Murder and mayhem ensue after the jabberjays chase people into the caves.
Where| Deep within the caves. This area of the caves cannot be broken into or escaped from until 24 hours have passed.
When| Over a twenty-four hour period beginning now.
Warnings/Notes| Violence, death, gore, etc. You have been assigned a target to kill, but you may run into other characters in the caves as well.

( Kill or be killed. There is no escape. )
