Maeve Calau
The gong rang. I was ready. I ran right to the cornucopia and grabbed a convenient pair of daggers off a rack. I turned to survey the options. I saw Sanguis had sprinted towards the boy from 11 and pulverized his face. Yeesh. He was gonna be hard to kill. I saw that feral boy standing on his pedestal and decided he was a good choice. I hurled my dagger into his throat, and ran over to grab it. I passed Gary-Stu and saw him bump into the boy from 8. He held his hand out as the boy fell. Yeah, that wasn't gonna fly. We didn't help kids, we killed them. I changed course and stabbed him in the back with my remaining dagger. The boy ran off. I pulled out my dagger and stabbed again and again until I was sure he was dead. I couldn't trust someone like that.
Addax Jensen
I didn't run away. I also didn't run in. When the gong rang, I got down and scuttled into the array to grab a weapon. I made it to the rack. I was reaching for a rapier when pain blossomed in my gut. I looked up and saw Perfecta.
"Really? Why were you crab walking?" I grinned at her. At least I was out of this hellhole. I hoped Donnie fared better.
Loom Weaver Basket
This was crazy. I crashed into a career, and was sure I was gonna die. Then, he helped me up. I was in shock. I saw him get stabbed and felt a bit guilty. He died because of me. I ran off as fast as I could. I heard yelling and shouting behind me but I didn't care. I stopped at a snack stand. I was exhausted after all that running. I went to look for something to eat and found a bag of chips. I smiled. At least the arena was pretty nice.
Mara Spelt
The eight ball told me to run. I did. I ran right in. That was because I saw a wheelbarrow. I rolled it over to Rosemary and her extra large platform, grabbing a backpack on the way. I lifted her into the wheelbarrow and rolled away. The eight ball was wrong this time. Rosemary really was tiny. It was no effort to lift her. I headed for the giant wheel, thinking it might have something cool.
Aggra Hangton
I kinda had to kill someone. I felt bad, but I needed to be with the careers. I saw that girl with the weird nose running and looked away when Sanguis barreled into her. I didn't need to see that. We all knew what happened to Orlando. I saw that girl from Nine wandering towards the cornucopia and frowned. I couldn't kill her.
"Hey get moving Aggra! Are you gonna get her or not?" Maeve yelled at me. I grimaced. This was gnarly, and not in the good way. I grabbed the first weapon I saw, which was a sickle. I ran over and did what I had to do.
Whitney Trigo
I was looking for wheat when I heard a swishing noise. The next moment, I fell like a stalk of wheat. I smiled. Finally, I was going on to the next stage of enlightenment. I couldn't wait for it. I was becoming what I dreamed of.
Penelope Cannon
I just had to grab a couple things. Just a backpack and maybe a knife. I could also grab one of those stuffed animals. I saw a pink elephant and smiled. That was the one. Then the world crumpled around me.
Myra Borden
I found a giant hammer, probably for one of those strength testing games. I smiled. It was blue, but soon it would be red. I saw Cameron sitting there, waiting for me. How thoughtful. He was crying, curled into a ball. I kicked him in the side, and slammed my hammer down onto his head. He didn't die, but instead started spasming. I laughed at the sight. I hit him again. And again. Soon, the hammer was indeed red as I cracked open his skull. I ripped off a clump of his hair and ran off. I had to live now to kill later.
Cameron Mazda
I wanted to go home. It wasn't fair. I missed my mommy. I wailed. My ribs were suddenly struck. It hurt so bad. I remembered my family and thought of them. Then my brain was rattled by a blow. IcouldntcontrolmymusclesI *WHAM* couldnfeelanyth *WHAM* Iwasssaaaad.
Dora Claire Current
I, of course, ran. The arena was pretty clearly gonna have food and water around, and I wasn't taking any chances. A weapon wasn't necessary. I saw a girl smash a boy's head open and threw up a little in my mouth as I ran. I ran to a big purple building. It was filled with mirrors. I ran through and kept running because I wanted to be as far away from the bloodbath as I could be. I hit a dead end. I turned around and saw there were two paths I could go. Crap.
Delvin Devaruda
Yeah, as if I was running in. I sprinted right out of there. No thanks. I found a restaurant and decided to set up camp there. Inside, I found a frying pan, and plenty of food and water. I was set, for now at least.
Power Luis Stores
Maeve had run much faster than I expected. Instead, I ran to grab supplies. Somehow, nobody noticed me and I got out unscathed. There would be plenty of time to kill the careers later. I found Splinter and we ran out, alongside that girl from 8 for a moment before she turned at a sharp angle for some reason. We decided to go towards the giant wheel, because why not.
Donald Jensen
Where was Addax? I couldn't see her among the commotion. Until I did. I howled and scuttled away. There was nothing I could do but feel raw agony in my very essence.
ULTIMATE MAYHEM!
22nd Place | Strawberry McMuffin: Face pulverized by Sanguis
Ok so Strawberry actually placed higher than some people predicted. Anyway, he was a bloodbath. Thanks for that, Raf. He was also a huge jerk and was not anybody's favorite. His fate was sealed. Not much else to say about him.
21st Place | Laicao Dust: Dagger to throat by Maeve
Woah, who saw this coming. Laicao stood no chance. I think we all knew this. I hadn't yet decided who was gonna die in this spot until I was writing Maeve's POV. I picked him because he was gonna die anyway. Thanks Tinks, and Splinter is still alive, unlike his first games.
20th Place | Cameron Mazda: Skullverised by Myra
So, as I'm sure was obvious, Cameron was a bloodbath. He had one strength listed on his form. He's cute. Yeah. He was the last tribute I received for this and was basically made to bump up everyone else's rankings. Sorry to those who died before him. Thanks LilaWhales. Bloodbaths are great. I hope his death made some of you guys feel something. If not, well, I tried.
19th Place | Gary-Stu Johnson: Stabbed a bunch by Maeve
HAHAHAHA! I know I surprised you Silver. Gary-Stu could've won. However, I had this idea of him stopping to help someone up and then I wondered how other careers would feel. Spoiler: They didn't like it. I figured you would understand my decision here and I'm sorry if you were disappointed. Maeve just doesn't want any of that crap. He was killed by his own kindness. Conversely, Loom was a bloodbath, but he lived! Who knows how long he will last. Loom was going to die but I was trying to keep the gender divide even. That doesn't mean he's screwed though. Anyway, thanks for Gary-Stu, Silver. He was the second tribute I received.
18th Place | Addax Jensen: Stabbed by Perfecta
RIP Addax. She was definitely made for these games. But I mean that as in she was created for this. She clearly wasn't gonna win, as seen by the fact that she died. Otherwise she could've. Anyway she was extremely odd. Crab Walking didnt work out for her, but Donnie still has a chance just like she hoped. Sorry Marie, and thanks for your tribute.
17th Place | Penelope Cannon: Pretty much crushed by Sanguis
Penelope was a parody, which is exactly what I asked for. She had a great story, but died as a result of me wanting a big bloodbath. She will be missed by Cowgo, as well as her family. Thanks for sending a tribute, Gomex, and Power Luis is still alive and ready to fight!
16th Place | Whitney Trigo: Throat slashed by Aggra with a sickle
Whitney, like Cameron, was sent to let me get started. Some of you may remember Potato from the Survivor Games. This was basically that. Whitney was single minded and I considered keeping her around a bit longer, but her POVs would be repetitive. Thanks VR for Whitney.
So that's the bloodbath. Nine tributes are already dead. Somehow the girl in a coma is not among them. The arena should be pretty interesting. I have some wait and see hahaha.
