Well it's finally here. Thank you for everyone who submitted a tribute, couldn't have asked for better ones. If I kill your tributes I'm so sorry. I'm going by a mixture of votes, and who I can progress the most based on how I can write for them. Hope you enjoy.

Rachel Callowgwey-Victor of the 223rd Game
It's finally here. The tributes are waiting in the launch room and then our games will begin! I look at the arena from where we are sitting. It's a green field in the spot where the cornucopia is. The field has a weapons scattered across it, and the weapons are hidden inside of legos.
On the left side of the cornucopia is a water supply that has a lego surface, but water underneath. The tributes are each given a pickax that they cannot hit each other with, but will only break the legos. In order to get to the water they must use a pick ax to break into the lower layer of the
lego to get to the water.
On the right side are a bunch of lego houses that are spread out across a far area, they are built to withstand a lot, but the pickax can break at them as well. At any time the tributes may find a random pile of legos, and at any time they are welcome to build anything they need to ultimately survive. Now we won't let them build something that will wipe out EVERYONE but we figured giving the lower districts a chance wouldn't be to bad.
Behind the cornucopia is a lego forest. Everything in the forest is made out of legos. I'm interested to see the poor saps who travel to the forest.
Behind the cornucopia is a giant lego hotel. It has 10 floors, and we are anticipating that most of the tributes will travel there. It's also where we have the most traps. This is going to be good.
"Rachel it's time to get them in the launch tube." says Addison
"I'm so fucking excited!" says Marissa. "Calliope make the announcement."
Calliope walks over to the mic a little too eagerly if you ask is she in such a good mood?
"Tributes please make your way over to the launch room. It's time to get you guys in the arena! May the odds be ever in your favor."
Calliope Joyce-Time Traveler
"Addison can we talk for a minute?" I ask in an innocent tone.
She looks at me skeptically. "Sure."
We walk out of the room and into the the hallway. She turns and gets a drink from the water fountain, and as she does that I grab her head and slam it into a wall. Once I'm sure she's out cold I drag her body into the a deserted closet, that I had supplies waiting for me once this opportunity arose.
I tied her up to make sure that she couldn't leave the room, and put a gag in her mouth, as well as duct tape over the gag to make sure it's extra secure. I then lean her up against a metal shelf.
She comes to a few seconds later and looks up at me angrily.
"I bet you're wondering what I plan on doing now." I say
She gives me the duh look.
I look down at my watch and press a few buttons and in moments I might as well be Addison's reflection.
"You see the watch has a cool feature, where I can become literally anyone I want." I say in an Addison voice.
Her eyes are full of horror as I walk towards the door.
"Catch you on the flip side Adds." I say as I walk out.
I walk towards the room and enter the gamemakers chambers again and make my way to Addison's desk.
"Where is Calliope?" Marissa ask
"She said something about getting lunch?"
"Dumb bitch" says Marissa.
Phase one in my plan is complete.
Paris Bastillion-District 1 Female
I stare at the rest of the tributes that stand around the cornucopia on a platform. The tributes either look nervous, or ready. The ready is obviously the careers. The nervous are the outer districts.
I look to my left and the girl from 5 is standing right next to me. On my right is the boy from 9 who is also in my alliance.
"Make a dash for the center when the timer goes off" I say.
He nods and I turn my attention back to the clock. It now has 20 seconds on it. I give the girl from 5 a look that let's her know I'm coming right for her.
She looks nervous, and almost like she's about to faint.
5 seconds...4...3..2..1…
The gong sounds and I lunge off my platform and onto the girl from 5s. I grab her by her hair and bring her down to the ground by force. I take her head up to my knee level and slam it against the platform again, and again until there is a considerable amount of blood on the platform. Let it be known that the District 1 female made the first kill of the games.
Castalia Reiss-District 6 Female
Not liking how quick that District 1 bitch made the first kill. It was less than 30 seconds before the girl from 5 died, and that has to be a record. I run towards the middle of the cornucopia and grab a backpack and make my way to the housing part of the arena, when the district 2 girl tackles me.
"Well hello there 6. Nice to see you." she says with a sick smile.
I kick her off me and we both stand up ready to fight.
"You ready to die bitch?" she says in a hateful tone.
"You don't scare me Meg." I say as she makes her way closer to me. I surprise her by closing up the distance between us and punching her in the nose, and push her down. I steal the bows and arrows she had in her hand and make my way to the part of the arena I thought I was heading to before she attacked me.
Meg Dollster-District 2 Female
That bitch took my weapon! I'm defenseless right now and far away from the group. The boy from 6 runs towards me with a sword in his hand. I brace myself for an attack and wait for him to make his way to me. I'm not the best with swords, but I know I can out maneuver a boy from 6.
He reaches me about 10 seconds later, and as I hoped he lunged rather than sliced. I was able to dodge, and slam my elbow into the top of his shoulder. He fell to the ground, and I grabbed his neck and snapped it. I made my way back to the area of the cornucopia with the sword.
"Where did you make your way off too?" ask the District 8 girl in our alliance.
"I had a score to settle with that District 6 girl." I said
"You get her?" ask Berryalise as she throws one of her tomahawks at the girl from 9 and it hits her in the head.
"No, but I sure messed her up." I say.
Taro Aka-District 3 Male tribute
Abigail and I decided that me running towards the fighting was the most logical thing to do because I was the fastest.
I ran to the center, and she waited behind the platforms where the giant hotel is. I managed to grab two packs, and a box of legos before someone confronted me.
"Three. It's you and me."
I turn and see the boy from 5 as he is running towards me and swinging a sword. I dodge out of the way and use my fingernails to make long scratches into his arm. He howls in pain as the blood drips down his arm.
He does something really disturbing then. He takes his finger and runs it up his arm where the blood is, and then he licked it.
"Taste so good." he says as he runs at me again with the sword.
Abigail managed to make her way over when she saw I was in trouble and was throwing knives she found not to far away in the direction of the boy from 5.
After dodging several of Abigails knives, and refusing to let me get by. One of Abigails knives lands in his upper left shoulder. He screams in pain, and is distracted enough to let me and Abigail run out of the way and towards the hotel. We turn around just in time to see him running towards the girl from 11.
Lillith Steele-District 11 Female tribute
I just watched the whole ordeal with the two from 3 and the boy from 5. I have no idea why I just stood still in the middle of the Hunger Games, but I did.
It was enough to get the notice of the boy from 5 as he was running towards me with his sword. That was enough to get me going. I quickly look around and grab a knife throwing kit and a pack, and am about to get on my way when I feel a force on my back.
I fall to the ground and I am turned around to face the vindictive boy from 5.
He takes the pick ax that the game makers gave us and I closed my eyes refusing to watch as he brought this weapon down on my face.
I wait, and I wait, but it never comes. I open my eyes and see the District 5 boy continuing to try and swing the pick ax on my head, but it never making contact. It simply just bounces off.
I can't help but laugh, which probably isn't the thing you should do when a psycho is on top of you ready to kill you, but I did.
He looks angry as he hears my laugh. He takes his sword and shoves it in my neck. I try to breathe, but I can't. It's physically impossible for me to. The air refuses to flow. Come on. You're just particles. Flow!
I start to see blurry as he remains on top of me smiling. Messing with the sword as it is just sitting in my neck.
The last thing I hear is his sick laugh and the sentence, "My first kill."
Nero Clydax-District 2
I look around for a tribute to take out. All the girls have got one, and I don't want to look like a weakling.
I notice the girl from 10 and the boy from 10 fighting. She's on top of him, and he's fighting her off. He manages to get her under him, and then I see him kissing her as if she is his girlfriend of something.
I run over there and pull him off and am about to stab him in the neck when I hear "WAIT!"
I turn to see the girl from 10 staring at me with pleading eyes, the girl from 7 is not far behind her.
"If I'm going to die in this arena. At least let me get the justification of killing my rapist."
The district 10 boy is looking around defeated he knows he's dead either way. I consider this. Rape is a despicable thing, but like she said. She's going to die anyways. I can kill all three of them right now, and rake in the biggest kill rate. Knocking that bitch Paris off her pedestal.
"Consider this a gift from the careers 10." I say as I throw my sword down and grab hold of this. I notice that it's absolutely silent behind me. When I glance around I see everyone staring at me and the two girls that are about to kill the most hated player in this game.
She walks over to the boy with a knife in her hand and traces his lips with it. She then grabs his lip with the knife and starts to cut at them. He begins to cry and I start to have to work harder to hold him as he desperately tries to get out of the lock that I have him in.
The girl from 10 then takes the knife and puts it up the boy's neck.
"You took everything from me." she says. "My life, my innocence, you even took my baby from me. Stress related symptoms were why I miscarried. Do you know how hard it is to stay not paranoid after something like that happening to you?!" she slaps him in the face and stares directly in his eyes.
"Have fun in hell Marin." she then took the knife and shoved it into his neck.
"Thank you." she said.
"Don't thank me just yet." I said. I take a knife out of my back pocket and send it flying into the girl from 7s head. She falls to the ground dead and the girl from 10 looks at me with wide eyes.
"I have to bring a kill in." I say.
I walk away as the girl from 10 is running towards the housing section of the arena.
Calico Shinnings-District 8
I need to kill someone. I can't freaking not kill someone. I'm in the careers for crying out loud! I look around trying to see anyone I feel like I can easily over power.
I see the boy from District 11 as he is running towards the wooded section of the arena. I run after him with a spear in hand getting ready to throw it when he stops in his tracks and runs towards me.
What the hell is going on? Did he see something?
I look over and see a bunch of little lego army looking dudes run out of the forest.
"RUN" I scream as I'm trying to get the attention of the other careers.
I finally get their attention and they see what I'm running from. They all climb on top of the cornucopia and wait for the army to pass.
"Since when do they release mutts during the blood bath?!" says Berryalise angrily.
"Since when do they build an entire arena around a child's toy. They do what they want." says Meg.
We watch as the boy from 11 runs towards the hotel but is to late. The mutts got hold of him and are grabbing onto his body slowly starting to pull. We look over to see the girl from 12 also trapped in the mutts as they grab different parts of their body and begin to pull.
We watch in horror as the mutts rip the two tributes limb from limb. When the two tributes are dead, the mutts retreat and we climb down from the cornucopia.
"How may are dead?" ask Paris.
"I killed the boy from 6." says Meg
"I got the girl from 9." says Berryalise
"I got the girl from 7. I also helped kill the boy from 10." says Nero
"I also saw the boy from 5 kill the girl from 11." says Atticus
"And I got the girl from 5. Plus the two that just died. That makes 8 tributes dead."
"Pretty solid number for a bloodbath." says Sebastian.
"Speaking of which." says Paris angrily. "You two," she says pointing at me and Sebastian, "didn't get a kill. Therefore you're on watch tonight. Only you two."
"Atticus didn't get a kill either!" Sebastian says
Paris looks pissed, and for once in my life I know better than to speak.
"Atticus is one of us." she says "Collect supplies."
We walk around collecting supplies and setting up camp near the cornucopia.
Mihael Reeves-District 7 Male tribute
Jackson, Kolton, and I made it to the hotel with a few packs. We have 4 bags of jerky, 2 full water bottles, 1 empty water bottle, and 6 loaves of bread that we collected together.
"Pretty decent gathering." says Kolton. "We'll eventually need water, but I can't imagine it will be to hard."
None of us managed to grab a weapon instead of Kolton who grabbed a pick ax, but we already have one..I don't see why he grabbed it.
"Are you sure staying on the second floor is the best idea?" says Jackson
"The careers will be searching this building up and down. None of them will think that the 2nd floor is harboring three tributes, when there is 10 floors in the whole building." I say
He looks a little easier as he hears that. We wait to hear how many people died in the blood bath, when on cue the cannons started
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
"Who do you think died?" I ask
"We'll find out soon enough." says Kolton as he walks towards the bathroom in the hotel room. I hear a toilet flush and am in awe. There is no way they gave us running water, but these are past tributes, maybe they want us to have some sort of normalcy.
"I wasn't expecting the toilet to flush!" says Kolton excited as he turns on the shower to discover that it also turns on.
He sticks his hand in the water and then screams in pain!
"What is it?!" I say fearing a tribute has snuck into the room already.
"Don't touch the water in the hotel." says Kolton as he holds up his left hand to reveal a huge blister in the center of the top side of his hand. "Something tells me it isn't good."
Marissa Vixon-Victor of the 224th Games
"Who the hell sent the army mutts into the games in the fucking blood bath!?"
I look around to see who's computer is wired to that trigger. Only to find out it's Addison's.
"Addison what the hell?" I say
"My finger must have slipped...I'm sorry." is all she says.
I'm really going to need her to get it together.
Well there you have it. The bloodbath. I can't believe that we've made it this far.
The Eulogies
Tara Ohm- A lot of people liked Tara. There were a lot of tributes that were submitted as blood bath tributes that people really liked. I started to like a lot of them, and just couldn't bring myself to kill them when the time came. Tara unfortunately wasn't that lucky. Thank you for sending her in as a bloodbath and making my life 10x easier.
Barend Krueger-Barend wasn't a bad character in a sense of who he was. He was a character I just didn't know how to write for. I was so excited when I read his character profile because I thought it would be a blast. However, writing for him became very hard.
Maize Quinou-*Ducks out of the way of the flame reviews.* Maize was so well liked. I had no idea where I was going with her. She wasn't really able to protect any of the little ones in the games, because I killed most of them. So it was one of those things that's just kind of luck of the draw when others are submitting. If I got some intricate young characters I could have seen Maize playing out, but I didn't. So long live Corn girl.
Lillith Steele- Oh my little apple obsessed friend. I wasn't planning to kill you off. In fact you were my victor I had in my head for 59% of this story. You just weren't popular. Not a single vote for you. So you died.
Marin Livida- Bless you Ansley for letting me mess with your bloodbath tribute to help another. Cheyenne would not be where she is if it wasn't for this sick little dude. Bye felicia.
Fey Roberts- She was pregnant. She had her baby. I didn't know where else to go. I didn't want to kill the baby, that was never an option to me. I didn't know where her character would be without the baby though. I couldn't figure it out. I sat down for a long while planning who would die in the blood bath the other day. Fey was the last one to make the list, and it was so hard. Kittymae I'm so sorry. Don't hate me.
Areon Daysend- I have no clue why you died. I was writing, and it was supposed to be another tribute, but Calico even messes with my head. It wasn't supposed to be you...it just happened that way. Thank you to the sender of Areon. He was cool while it lasted.
Phoibe Anthis-Poor Phoibe. So analytical. So logical. So not a victor. I couldn't convince myself to put her through, and believe me I tried. I wanted to keep writing for her...I just didn't see it in the cards. It was either her or Abigail, and Abigail was more detailed, and I saw more potential with her.
That's the blood bath.
Sad to see a tribute go? Which one?
Who are you happy to see?
Fave POV?
Do you think that Calico and Seb are doomed?
What did you think of the Addison/Calliope thing?
Keep it classy,
Caleb
