User blog:Jasmine Rosejoy/Welcome to the Survival Games! A New Breed of Games...

Background -
''In an unknown time period, a troubled world beats down a lonely path... One of hardship, as the great nations have fallen, leaving only three behind presently. One is said to be underground, one is a type of a myth of solitude and safety... And one is here. This "one" is artificially ruled by The Flappers, the official name for District 1. This nation is divided up into 5 "districts", which we will examine later on. District 1 holds a Survival Games every year, calling forth 6 people from all districts to compete for glory. And every single person wants it, make no mistake about that.''

District 0:   Low elevation, snowy mountains and caves make up the resourceful zone of the even more resourceful individuals who live in them. Weapons found here are brutal, like daggers and sai and bladed objects. People tend to be smart with astronomy, playing off their wanting to be somewhere they are wanted. This is the most remote and forgotten district.

District 1: Where the rich live their dreams of being in the 1920s, a long past time of unprecedented wealth and ease. Except, the blazing city and 1920s-era architecture will have to do for now. People soar high and a bit snotty, but know what it is like to chase their dreams and succeed, which can be a help and a downfall. Weapons found here are secure and stealthy, such as non-fatal pistols and small daggers.

District 2: The smartest and most down to earth of all the districts. Woodsy area and country roads are here, covering the land with a distinct tone of mystery and hidden. People use swords and other ancient weaponry to get their point across, but only when it is necessary. District 2 people will trust you even if you are a scam. Except when they don't trust you!

District 3: A small, yet hectic, district... People dont trust each other. Chaos has taken over, and many people take drugs to satisfy their deep hunger for worth. These drugs have changed some of the youth and young adults here, so that their genes are altered and their cells have been enhanced, sometimes for the good. Weapons used by these people are exotic; and sometimes built inside them from the horrendous drugs. Avoid these people.

District 4: The last and poorest district, but also one with big heart. Small towns are built around family, and everyone gets along just fine. When the Survival Games come around, youth get their favorite armament, one they have trained with... One that has been passed down in their family for generations. Morale is at average, with people wanting to win the Survival Games to save their family from extreme poverty.

Now, with the Districts in line... It is time for YOU to give 3 boys and 3 girls (ages 14-17) from each district! With a total of 30 competitors, we will start the Games!

The Games officially start tomorrow afternoon!

Arrivals -
"AND HERE WE ARE!  At the famous Survival Games, home to some of the most talented people in our nation.  And who can argue with that?  It is a great honor to be part of these Games, but there are always those people that get stuck doing it... Until they go all out and win the darn thing!  But all jokes aside, we would of course like to meet these fabulous young people ages 14-17, and get their scoop on everything.  As usual, the District 0 people are first!  What a courageous bunch!  We don't normally have a District 0 winner... But this might be the year!"

District 0;
"Well, look at the bunch this year.  They sure will be remembered this year!  And I certainly am eyeing this one man named Zovick Farlock, who is bringing a harsh looking gun!  Not any more harsh than his face though, I have to tell you!  He will be tough.  Mythic Aurra, though... She is a cold one.  Look at her scowl!  She will be a tough nut to crack, I can tell.  But both of these people look fierce... Very fierce."

District 1;
"Ah, the people of the hour!  District 1!  The most fabulous and elegant of them all, I can tell, as usual of course.  A Victoria Heart is said to be deadly, oh yes.  And here she comes now, just look at her!  I bet all of her accessories that she is donning right now are weapons!  It isn't the first time a girl as ready as her has come!  That bladed fan... That will be difficult.  And would you look at the girl next to her, Audrina whatever.  I don't want to pretend I know how to say her last name!  But keep careful eye at her holster... What a pistol she has!  She will be fierce, I can tell.  An assassin, my books say she is.  Wow!  We don't normally have assassins."

District 2;
"Next, the homely and friendly District 2.  And they look as comfortable as ever, surprised to see all the crowd here tonight.  The boy Austin is sure happy to see the crowd, but this Shale character looks quite uncomfortable.  The ladies are quite slow coming down, talking and whispering and doing their thing!  I like Lorana Firetracer and Skylar Kaasen, real fighter looks to them."

District 3;
"As District 3 comes by, I see they are drugged as ever ladies and gentleman... We may run into a problem.  It always hurts my soul to see a younger sister trailing her older brother into the same drugged up situations, and going into the same life as him.  That is the case with Karmon and Karlotte, certainly.  Let's move on."

District 4;
"Ah, last but not least.  Everyone looks interesting this year, some standouts and some strong willed people here.  Harley Swoop and Allana Darkbloom seem like they are honorable and courageous, and I can tell they will want to win very much, for their own well being I assume.  They certainly will be allying in their own district, and maybe District 2."

Interviews -
Q1: How do you feel about the upcoming tournament?

Harley Swoop; "I just want to not die and survive for my sister because she was chosen instead of me but I didn't want that to happen.  And I want to come back home"

Piper Quinn; "I know I won't survive, and I just want to feel like I did something.  That is why I will ally deeply with someone and get them to the top.  I have the skills to do that, so watch out everyone."

Karlotte Vaktank; "My brother and I will be able to show our skills, which I am excited about.  I really am.  We will do good in this tournament."

Karmon Vaktank; "Or die trying, at least.  And we are prepared for that."

Audrina Kindramos; "Oh, sure.  Don't even ask me about this.  Of course I'm feeling excited and not one bit nervous!  I am ready to kill this thing and do all I can for a good show."

Austin Reinforcement; "Oh sister, I'm the most ready person here.  Trust me.  I have been waiting for this moment for a while, and only the best can ride with me."

Shale Ardvictuary; "Hah!  Don't kid yourselves, you little rats.  The upcoming tournament and our feelings are irrelevant.  Most of us will die before we even have realized what has been going on.  Next question!"

Q2: How have you prepared for the games?

Tristabella; "Well.  I uh.  I have these blades and I will do what I can.  I'm going to kill everyone.  I think.  I hope, at least.  Whatever happens will be in my favor."

Biohazard Havok; "Someone seems a bit unstable.  Thankfully for me, I have beaten entire gangs in my district.  My name spreads fear over my area.  You, sad little girl, are pathetic."

Evelyn Pearson; "Hey!  Don't be mean to her!  Just because we all have had different lives doesn't mean you can criticize!  And your life hasn't been great either!  You are a thug!"

 

"Well, folks!  That will wrap up the interviews... Tomorrow night, elegance will sweep over these kids and we will see them on their best behavior before the first challenge starts!"
