hunger games: session 6

[ 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. ]

[ Well he has 5 endurance and there are three non-unitmates in this room. Soooo . . .


He's polite though. He kills his prey before eating it.

Nocking an arrow and pointing it at Hurricane in one smooth motion, pupils blown so wide that they're nearly unrecognizable. ]

[ Oh shi---. Fuck.

Fortunately, Zhongli still has his wits about him due to his high endurance, but he is leaping across the car to tackle Venti out of it before that arrow can take flight.

[ There doesn't need to be a roll here because there is nothing Venti could possibly do to stop a Morax tackle.

The bow falls from his hands as he goes down with a pained yelp. ]

[ They land in a mess of limbs on top of one of the merchant tents, Zhongli coming out on top with one knee pressed against his chest and one hand wrapped around his dominant wrist.

He lets gravity do the rest of the work of pinning Venti in place.

Barbatos.

Does ramming a fallen arrow into Zhongli's chest with his free hand count as proving he's of sound mind? ]

[ There is a long pause as Zhongli looks down at Venti, the concerned and shocked expression fading into something cold and unreadable.

Without breaking eye contact, he reaches up and rips the arrow from his chest, snapping the shaft between his fingers.

[ Zhongli's Heart Weapon disappears in a shimmer of gold (it won't do him any good here) as both hands close around Venti's neck.

And there is another pause (there is always another pause) as he searches for the light in Venti's eyes that he knows so well. But he does not find it.

And so the neck snaps beneath his fingers just as cleanly as the arrow shaft that preceded it.

And surely.

This is what Barbatos would have wanted as well.

[ Ahhhh, good old dependable Morax. Some things really don't ever change.

Is what he might have thought, but he's not thinking much of anything anymore.

Mercifully, his body dissipates into wind as soon as the life leaves it, with nothing left behind but a few fallen feathers. ]

He did what?

[Twisting around in the chair to see that the bow is out, and that Zhongli is doing a tackle]

Okay, let's go. In case the old man needs some help...
