User blog:Jabberjay78/The 47th Hunger Games!

Here it is! The 47th Annual Hunger Games! You know the drill, each person gets the male and female tributes from 1 district. You can reserve a district but reservations last 2 days. I'll try to update as much as possible (unless I'm on vacation). I'll start out with the training scores (but most likely not any reapings) and then go straight to the games. The games will be done in a point of view style but I don't really think there will be many (if any at all) ghost point of views. Sorry in advance if my descrpitions of the games aren't as creative as you would like.

In the comments for the tributes leave:

Name, Age, Gender, District, Skills, Weapons, Strategy, Weaknesses and History (History is optional).

Please create a lunaii doll for your tribute and post it in my talk page, or describe the character and I'll make a lunaii for you.

Please note if your tributes are careers. Districts 1, 2, and 4 will be treated as careers unless otherwise noted. But remember, I can't have 24 careers in my games.

And Please refrain from overused stories like two tributes who are secretly in love because I don't need more than two couples in the games. (Unless you make the story somewhat intresting like the District 4 tributes or a brother/sister duo or something)

Thanks, and in the words of Effie, "May the odds ever be in your favor!"

The Tributes
Training Scores:

The Arena
The arena for the 47th Hunger Games is similar to the arena that will be used in the 75th games in the future.

This arena is a large circular island divided into 12 sections. However, in this arena, each section represents a district. Just like usual, there are gamemaker traps in each section. There are two per section that affect the entire area. The first trap is harmful only to the tributes, while the second trap typically destroys the whole area. The first trap is triggered when one of the tributes from the cooresponding districts dies. The second trap triggers when both tributes from the cooresponding district are dead. However, these traps won't activate until three hours after the games begin, regardless of how quickly the tribute dies. The cornucopia is at the center of the arena as usual.

District One: Designed like a city. Trap 1: bombs in several buildings Trap 2: Every building explodes

District Two: Designed as a mountainous area with several barbed wire fences. Trap 1: Land mines are activated Trap 2: Rockslides, which will in turn detonate most bombs

District Three: A labyrinth of inactive electric fences. Trap 1: Fences activate Trap 2: Constant lighting storms every two hours.

District Four: Ocean with three islands on it. Trap 1: Piranah mutts released into water Trap 2: Tidal Wave

District Five (assuming it is the scientific research district located in the desert): Desert area with a pond and many survival supplies hidden in the sand. Trap 1: Pond dries up Trap 2: Constant heat waves

District Six (assuming it to be the medicine district): Swampy forest with many medicinal plants. Trap 1: Plants become poison ivy Trap 2: Poison Gas

District Seven: Forest. Trap 1: Tracker Jacker Nests released Trap 2: Forest Fire

District Eight: A barren wasteland of tar with only one factory in it. Trap 1: Crow muttations released Trap 2: Factory burns down

District Nine: (assuming it is the fruit, vegetable, and food processing district) clear fields that offer no concelament but have many fruits & veggetable plants. Trap 1: Plants all die. Trap 2: Fire

District Ten: Fields bordered by trees where many deer, cows, and pigs live. Trap 1: Animals contact sickness Trap 2: Animals replaced with mutts (who won't leave the D10 area)

District Eleven: Grain fields. Trap 1: Rainstorms (turn fields in swampy mess) Trap 2: Fire

District Twelve: Series of caves. Trap 1: Bat-mutts Trap 2: Cave-ins

Narrator
Audiences across the great nation of Panem watched eagerly as the 24 tributes of the 47th Annual Hunger Games rose from the ground and into this year's arena. The audience this year had quite a few fan favorites. Both tributes from district 1 and the boy from district 10 were favorites for their strength. Akouke Awe and Hail Monei from district 4 were heavily supported due to their love story. Albany York of 6 and Georgia Greenwood of 8 also recieved some 'pity fans.'

The arena this year was a circular island divided into 12 wedges. Each wedge represented and was designed like one of the 12 districts of Panem. The two tributes from each districts stood on their metal plates with their district's wedge to their backs as Claudius Templesmith's voice came over the loudspeaker. "Ladies and gentlemen, let the Seventy-Forth Hunger Games begin!" The 24 tributes now had a minute to get their bearnings, and then the real battle would begin.

Rhea Marine, D11, Cornucopia Plate
As I eagerly wait for the gong to sound, I take a second to observe my surroundings. It's almost like the gamemakers took a handful of past arenas and synthesized them into an confusing mess. Behind me is a grain field, which reminds me of home, and I also see a city, some islands, mountains, a forest, and some caves. I decide that I will head for the forest after rushing for the cornucopia. So I fixate my eyes back on the cornucopia and begin to feel really nervous. ''What if a career kills me? What if I'm not fast enough? What if I trip and the audience laughs at me?'' I feel my forehead sweat as I look around and see the careers are only a few plates from me. Should I just skip the cornucopia and head striaght from the woods? Suddenly I hear a loud noise and subconciusly step forward. That's when I realize that what I heard wasn't the gong, I don't know what it was, all I know is that the mines have blown my body to bits before the games have even started.

Natalie Campbell, D1, Cornucopia Plate
Suddenly, the girl from district 11 runs off her plate and is blown up, shaking the whole arena and almost causing half the tributes to fall off their plates. I don't know if she did this cause she couldn't take the pressure or something, but I don't remember seeing a tribute die before the games begin ever before. Whatever though, one less tribute to kill. As the gong sounds, half the tributes are too scared to move, but I am eagerly sprinting towards a sparkling set of knives at the cornucopia, ready to pick off all the other dumb tributes who have no idea that they really don't stand a chance.

Byrdy Crush, D7, Cornucopia
All the other dumb tributes are standing at their plates after the girl blew up. So when the gong sounds, I am the only one running for the cornucopia, though I am sure that careers, who are obscured from my view, are heading for it as well. But I am done playing weak, I am ready to kill. I believe I am the first one at the cornucopia when I grab two knives, place one in my belt and hold the other, ready for a kill. The girl from district one rounds the cornucopia, heading for me, so I chuck at knife at her chest. Naturally, she dodges it, but I don't think she expects my other knife to head for her. She looks up to she the knife that is so close to stabbing her, and all she does is hold out her hand. At first, I have no idea what she is trying to do, but suddenly, she has grabbed the knife out of thin air and she spins it in her hand before chucking it back at me. I only have time to stare, surprised, before the the knife enters my chest.

Albany York, D6, Cornucopia Plate
The girl from eleven, I think her name was Rhea, just blew up, and even though by now everyone is heading for the cornucopia, I am still left standing on my plate. I thought I was ready for this, but watching innocent children die is something you can't prepare yourself for. I try to recover, looking towards the cornucopia, and I see that the blonde girl from one has knifed the blonde girl from seven. Two dead already, and I watched them both die. By now, it's too dangerous to go for the cornucopia, so I turn and sprint diagonally into a forest, into a place where hopefully I won't have to watch any more of my fellow tributes die.

Luca Straight, D12, Corncucopia
The explosion of the girl two plates from me left me to shocked to move, though my district partner, Kartan, can't say the same. He is already at the cornucopia with two spears and a backpack as I stare at the site of the accident. Soon I notice that all eight careers, both from 1, 2, and 4, and the boys from 5 and 10, are circling the cornucopia. The boy from 2 comes to guard the bow that I desperately need, but Kartan soon sends a spear through his chest. With this distraction, I sprint forward and grab the bow, but Kartan is still looking for more weapons. "Come on!" I yell to him. "Before they get us!" but he just rolls his eyes at me. So I grab his arm and pull him away from the cornucopia, but he pulls away from my grasp. "I can take care of myself!" he yells in my face. Just then, he twitches forward and spits blood on me. Kartan falls to the ground, knife in his back, and all I can do is watch painfully as he dies. I know that he has a girlfriend back home who will be crying right now, just like I am, though I am only crying because I came here with him. The male tribute from eight, the one who knifed him, is just sitting there laughing at my pain when a knife whizzes past him and buries itself in the golden horn. He soon runs out of my sight as the knifer runs towards me. I am too scared to move, but he simply grabs my arm and pulls my up and towards the caves. "We have to go before they get us!" he explains as we run. I notice now that he is the boy from 11, the one who stood next to his district partner when she exploded. He knows my pain and now he is my ally.

Tevinh Valdez, D1, Cornucopia
By now, all of the other tributes have either cleared out from the cornucopia or are lying among the dead. Barely anyone died in the cornucopia this year, we have only identified Rhea Marine from district 11, Byrdy Crush from district 7, our fellow career Oscar Du Winter from district 2, and Kartan Smeeze from district 12. It still leaves us with seven careers though, which is more than a third of the entire group. Six of us are discussing what to do next while Talon from 10 guards us, and Natalie seems bent on going to the city-looking area instead of staying at the cornucopia. Qian from 5 starts to argue with her, saying how the buildings don't provide a dark enough atmosphere for torture, when Natalie gives me a look. I know exactly what it means. I grab Qian from behind an slash his throat with my knife, throwing his dead body to the ground. Hail, the girl from 4, looks disturbed by what I have done, so I have to justify my act by saying, "Come on, he was such a creep. He probably would've tortured us all." Amidst all of our argueing the girl from district 2, Ursula, suddenly turns around, knife in hand, and runs around the cornucopia. As we follow quietly to see what she is doing, we hear the scream of a girl. We arrive just in time to watch the girl from 9 fall to the ground, knife in her chest. Apparently she thought she could sneak in and steal from us. I guess she didn't know that you don't ever mess with careers.

Kedzie Woods, D10, D7 forest
I've been walking in the woods for what feels like two hours when the cannons finally sound off. I listen intently, and when I only hear six, I have to admit that I am shocked. Only six! That's probably one of the record lows as far as cornucopia battles go. All I know is that one of the cannons was for the district 11 girl and another for the district 7 girl I saw get knifed. I managed to get away from the cornucopia with two bows and two sheaths of arrows and a backpack. Why I grabbed two bows is a mystery to me, maybe I hoped that Talon would come with me, but he is a career right now. I wonder if one of the cannons was for him...it would probably be better that way... As I think and quietly move through the woods, I am suddenly aware of a noise in the tree above me. But before I can look up, the young face of a boy swings down in front of me. The twelve year-old from district 6 is hanging upside-down from the tree as he simply says, "Hey," in a cheery voice. Much to cheery for someone in the games. I am about to ask why he hasn't killed me when he simply says, "Would you like to be allies?" Well, he certainly doesn't mess around, I think. I've already got two bows anyways, and he doesn't look the kind to betray, so I simply say, "Sure, why not," and he swings down from the trees. It's probably best to have an ally, and he is only twelve so it's not like he is a threat. Only one twelve year-old has ever won before anyway, and that was only because her oppenent starved to death. I hand him one of my bows and a sheath of arrows and he gives me a smile that I can't help but return.

Cobalt Tungsten, D6, D6 swamp
Lucky me. I got to watch a girl explode today, and then run for this swamp as I wondered if the poor twelve-year old from my district was going to die soon too. I guess I shouldn't complain considering I'm not dead right now though. But it's not like I have much of a chance. Here I am, sitting in a tree with only some medicinal plants and edible berries that I'm keeping in a basket woven out of leaves. No weapons and no water, and not much protection even up in this tree. I shove some awful tasting berries in my mouth as the noise of the anthem makes me just near out of the tree. The faces begin to light up the sky, and I have to admit that I'm interested to see who is there. I cross my fingers, hoping Albany isn't up there. First is the boy from two, which is good because he could've been a threat. Then is the boy from five who was with the careers for some reason, the girl from 7 who had a pretty low training score, and the girl from nine who I don't know much about. Next is the girl from eleven who exploded and finally the tough looking boy from twelve. And that's it. I'm not too disappointed, though I wish more careers could've been up there. I lean up against the tree and close my eyes, imagining how uncomfortable the sleep in the tree will be, for so long that I barely notice the sponsor gift land on my lap. The second I feel it, I grasp it in my hands and quickly rip open the box. There are three things inside. First is a knife, which must have costed quite a bit, the second is a container of water, and the third is a simple piece of paper. I put the knife in my belt and the water in my basket and begin to examine the note. In perfect black ink, the note says: ''You can do this, I'm rooting for you. ''It is signed, with love, from my big sister. The sister who tried to volunteer for me, but I wouldn't let her. I turn the piece of paper over and sloppily in berry juice, I scrawl a message and hold it up in the air, hoping my sister can see it though the cameras might not even be on me. I'll win it for you, is all the note says, but for once, I actually believe I may have some kind of chance.

End of Day One

Kedzie Woods, D10, D7 Woods
I wake up in my tree to the sound of rustling on the forest floor. Without looking down, I turn to my side, and register that Albany is no longer on the branches next to me. Panic floods through me as I wonder if he fell and the careers got him...if they didn't see me and just moved on...but then I realize that I would have woken up to a cannon, ruling out that possibilty. Suddenly, I see the figure on the ground move. It's a male, a young one...of course...it's just Albany. As I'm about to repremand him for making so much noise, he begins to do something so stupid that I've never seen someone do it before in the games. He opens his mouth to sing. He is singing to a group of birds in a tree when I jump all the way down from my perch, leaving my belongings in the tree. I sprint towards where he is and grab him from behind, clasping my hand on his mouth. He starts to pitifully struggle, not knowing that it's only me, when I say, "What the heck do you think you are doing?" in an angry whisper. I release him, and he looks as though I've just killed his cat. "Sorry," he painfully manages. "It's fine," I bitterly respond. I go to climb back up the tree, wondering if either of us will survive this day.

Xavier Thread, D8, D1 City
I'm really surprised that the gamemakers decided to place all these buildings in this arena. With these here, everyone could hide in their own building and no one would ever die. But of course, the gamemakers would never let that happen. It doesn't matter much though, because I am about to give them quite a show. I followed the six careers to this building, and right now I am on the floor directly above them, ready to kill...I can hear them talking now, judging by teh number of voices, I believe that they are all up. They have no idea the experience I have in the art of killing; they won't even see it coming. I walk over to the balcony directly above the careers camp. They are all in a circle, not a single one looking above at me...

...Perfect.
