Hunger Games: Session 9

[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. ]

[wowee yeah that part was fun! He freezes for a few moments, then tenses, clenching his fists.]

... I don't want to do this! None of this... this stupid...

[Breathing faster, AT LEAST HE'S ANGRY RATHER THAN SAD? That's probably chardev for him?]

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[Takes his hand and squeezes it. Trying to be calming.]

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[Slumps against Emet's shoulder, this SUCKS and he hates it. :(]

... Hades, I'm going to lose this. Afterwards... can you take me to Baritones? I would like to stay with you and Lily while I recover...

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[He wraps him in a hug.]

I could make you forget all this. After it is over.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[The hug helps him calm down a bit at least. Wrapping his arms around Emet, taking deeper breaths]

... If the punishment turns out to be too much, I would like to forget it.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[Brushing his hair back and kissing the top of his head.]

It will always be an option.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[He would like cuddles now that everyone is in murder timeout.]

... Thank you. And I suppose there are other things I would like to forget, too.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[Murder timeout is right.]

As long as you make the decision and do not regret it, this is solace I can give you.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

Thank you, Hades. There are many things about the past games I want to forget.

[also it is now cuddle time.]

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[Definitely cuddle time and since Levity is taller he is going to settle in his lap, arms around his neck.]

There will be joy for you yet. Do not worry.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[He wraps his arms around Emet in kind, resting his chin on top of his head.]

I really hope so. But it's a little easier to believe that now.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[He closes his eyes and listens to his heartbeat.]

We are going home. One day. This I did promise to all of you.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[He's Warm and Comfy, enjoy the snuggles Emet]

... It's strange to think that there are so many obstacles in the way.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[He looks rather confused for a moment.]

Does it?

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[Well, about that.]

... I confess I'm not quite happy with the conditions of making a wish.

[Aka, selling your soul to Hell.]

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

You could take Heave's route.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

But what about you and Cosmo?

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

We have a few pitstops we need to hit, but we'll be back to our star. Just be careful when you pick the time.

You have yet to acquire a corruption, correct?

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[Hm!]

... I've no corruptions yet, indeed. Why? Does it change anything?

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

'Tis Hell's influence. How they affect us here and beyond has yet to be seen. But I would avoid them if you could.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[Well, leaving aside the fact that it's not exactly up to him whether he gets corruptions or not...]

I see. But what I meant was... you and Cosmo plan to take Hell's offer, don't you? I cannot help worrying for you, too.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

Now, now I didn't say that. All has yet to be decided.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[SHOCKEDPIKA...]

Oh--I thought you'd settled on that already?

[He looks relieved, though! Good to know friends aren't going to sell their souls!]

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[firstworldproblem]

[They are, but for the right price.]

For every plan made, I have more than a handful of contingents. There are many variables to factor in. Timing is one part, and not everyone graduates, after all.

Re: EVENT: human whistle, HUMAN SCREAM

[weenwoon]

[But consider this: don't sell your souls?]

I suppose that's true.

[He hugs Emet tighter, as though he's worried.]

... Do you think they'll make you and Cosmo graduate before me?
