Hunger Games: Session 4

[idolpro]

[ You find yourself in your respective unit's zone, with a mini-map on your phone, as well as your objectives:


Kill as many competitors as you can.
Destroy zones by breaking their statues.
Not enough action = We start killing you :)

Underneath the objectives is the number of revivals you have left, as well as whatever miscellaneous details about scoring points—killing a unitmate results in negative points, five units will be healed at most, etc.

The starting horn sounds. Let the games begin. ]

I was with Eichi, Tenn, and ... oh I didn't get his name. A destruction of a statue got us here.

Re: JUNKYARD

[deicider]

It split you all up? How many statues are destroyed that you know of?

Re: JUNKYARD

[firstworldproblem]

Two.

[He looks behind him and shrugs at the missing or late LiliS.]

A schoolyard and a water park. There was a construction site, but it was a bit too hazardous to my tastes. I left my own starting position alone as I plan to return to it. Hopefully, it has not been destroyed in the meantime. It was rather cozy.

Re: JUNKYARD

[deicider]

We trashed ours for the easy point. It required a lot of effort to navigate; You wouldn't have liked it, so you're welcome. What'd you get?

Re: JUNKYARD

[firstworldproblem]

A store. Not terribly stocked but it had water.

[He laces his fingers and stretches them in front of him.]

Shall we work on this statue together?

Re: JUNKYARD

[deicider]

[Nods.]

Whoever gets the last hit gets the point.

Re: JUNKYARD

[firstworldproblem]

There are two of you, and only one of me. I can hardly argue that in my favor.

Re: JUNKYARD

[deicider]

I'm open to more fair and just partitioning if you have any ideas, O wise Emet-Selch.

Re: JUNKYARD

[firstworldproblem]

I received at least one point and have yet to perish. I feel as if that is well enough contributing to BARiTONES.

Besides whenever I tangle with Avante, I end up dead, so please take the point. In honor of Shrike.

Though you might have to parley with the newest.

[at_heart]

[ Helpfully: ]

Also the clinic and the forest.

[ And he's planning to just get out of here, though if he could get a crack at the statue first... ] [ Also well-aware that Eichi's absence might mean a fight, like, immediately, but he's had Juniper Tree up the whole time and he sees no reason to drop Nightingale, so he's as ready as he's getting. ]

[firstworldproblem]

[He's not wrong, but Cardinal might bap him on the head if he does.]

And what happened to the rest of your companions?

[Looking behind him as if they would somehow magically appear.]

[at_heart]

[ A wry smile. ]

Eichi missed the boat, and I figure Tenn wasn't about to let him fall alone. Sewers, probably. [ Flickered look at Cardinal, wave! ] If you wouldn't mind an assist on the statue, I'll stick around — otherwise, I'm gonna head down to see if I can find them.

[firstworldproblem]

I'm offering the statue to Avante, but you can negotiate with them.

Though do be wary of being alone and not with your unitmates, friendly as you are.

Also, I didn't catch your name.

[at_heart]

[ Heh. Yeah, he has the same feeling. This is a move-with-the-pack sort of game. Another glance at Cardinal, but he should probably just make tracks. ]

Lupine. Good to meet you.

[firstworldproblem]

Alexander.

I will enjoy having a more calmer chat after this game of excitement.

[Absolutely drawls the last word. Oh, Production.]

[worthathousand]

[ !!! ]

You must be LiliS's newest, then. [ something faintly sad in her voice?? ]

[at_heart]

[ —And a little wary, because he doesn't know her, but. Offers a smile up for that tone. ]

Yeah. More obvious than usual today, right? [ The barkskin and the floating. ] You're avante?

[ —He should at least ask. ]

Mind letting me get a crack at the statue before I try to regroup with the others?

[worthathousand]

Yes... Yes, I'm from avante en garde. Cardinal as well.

Though— [ cutting herself off; hesitating a moment ]

I'm afraid we've already our own intent to claim the point the statue represents, though we mean you no harm otherwise—and indeed, would gladly you protect you from any who tried.

[at_heart]

[ —Wow, really? Man, this is. Not going the way he was expecting at all. Lupine blinks, then grins. ]

I think we all get the point if we take a crack at it, but it's yours. [ He got a sedative from his search, so this wasn't too much wasted time. ] I'm Lupine, and uh — thanks. Tell Cardinal I said so, too.

[ He'll head for the sewers, then. ]

[worthathousand]

Lupine? I'll have to look that flower meaning up; it's not one I've memorized.

I'm Amaranth. [ She gives a little bow. He might recognize the name as another flower? ]

Truly, though, no thanks is needed. We all do what we can to mitigate the harm of our shared circumstances, as is only right.

[deicider]

[Cardinal hops over once Amaranth has chatted with him a bit and it doesn't look like things will escalate.]

Hello.

[at_heart]

[ World's tiniest jump, but then he grins for her, too. He'd be really stupid to attack right now, is Lupine's thinking. Improbably he seems to have good will here. ]

Cardinal, right?

[deicider]

That's right. And what are you going by?

[at_heart]

Lupine. [ Lipquirk. All the flower names! ] When in places that definitely aren't Rome, right?

[deicider]

Another flower? And it matches your profile.

[When did Cardinal see Lupine's profile?]

Are you more of alone wolf, or a member of the pack?
