User blog:LightStone123/The 300th Annual Hunger Games

Hey welcome! These Games are my first and I plan on making them great.

Quell Twist These Games will have a twist, which is that there will be no traditional Bloodbath at the beginning of the Games, instead the Tributes will be divided into pairs and they will then be raised into a location in the Arena that is different then all other pairs. Between each of the pairs’ platforms will be three pedestals that each hold one item. The centre pedestal will always hold a weapon that varies between what two Tributes are competing. One of the side pedestals will also always hold a backpack that contains a Canteen of Water, a loaf of Bread, and one other item. And the final pedestal may contain anything, ranging from an extra weapon to more water/food or something entirely different. This is like a normal Bloodbath but with just the two-paired Tributes by each other, they may either fight, run for supplies and/or fight or simply run away depending on their personal preference.

The Arena
The Arena contains a dense pine forest that surrounds a pristine lake, which is in the exact middle of the Arena. There is a swamp in the northern part of the Arena, which borders the forest. A large wheat field separates the forest from a lone mountain that sits in the southernmost point of the Arena. There are also several mutts such as shark mutts, Tracker jackers, and bear mutts. The twenty-four Tributes will be raised into twelve different positions inside of the Arena.

Day 1
Flick (District 4)

I think the Careers have a good lot this year. Elvis (1) is our best fighter and has an air of confidence about him, which makes me not want to mess with him. His District partner Astrid (1) is pretty handy with a spear but she’s far too sweet. It’s almost like she’s trying to hard for us all to like her.

Then there are the siblings from District 2, Johnny (2) and Bethany (2). They don’t say much and just drift from station to station while occasionally laughing at the others Tributes as they go.

“What do you think about the recruits?” Kaylay (4) my District partner sidles up to me and points at Di from 3 and Belladonna from 6.

“Belladonna’s alright but I don’t know why we let Di in. She’s only 12 after all”

As I finish I watch her over at the knot tying station, she seems extremely engrossed in whatever she is doing. Kaylay (4) shrugs and goes over to speak with Astrid (1) so I go over to practice with a trident.

Soon I send one whizzing through the air and right into a dummies chest, when I feel someone tap me on the shoulder and I turn and see the 8 girl.

“Wow that’s amazing. Can you teach me how to do that?” I’m about to tell her how stupid she is for asking such a question when the boy from 8 barges up.

“Stay away from her!” he yells stepping between us. “She’s my girlfriend so don’t even speak to her!”

Whoa, is this guy nuts or what?

“Look pal,” I say trying hard not to give in and sock him right in the jaw. “She spoke to me! So get out of my face before I put a trident in you!” He steps forward but immediately training staff rush in and pulls us both away

I shrug and watch the 7 boy swing an axe and send a dummies head flying across the room. He’s extremely muscular but also hairy. I briefly wonder what would happen if someone set him on fire.

She must have been following my gaze. “Hopefully I’m not paired with him,” Mondi (11) says looking down at her one leg. Yeah, I don’t want to have to fight him to get some items either but I don’t say so. I can’t look weak here, not after I made a fool of myself at the Reaping. Great now I’m thinking about Tom and how he lied about volunteering for me. Well, one things for certain; If I somehow survive this Arena and get home he won’t be allowed in my new house!

They very well could dominate if everyone wasn’t going to be separated at the beginning. That rule could very well put these Games in my favour.

The boy could prove deadly but the other two don’t seem like much of a threat to anyone. Of the four groups of two the 7 pair seem the most dangerous; Edmund (7) is the biggest non-Career Tribute in the Games and May-Ann I learned, isn’t to be overlooked.
