We start at the beginning of the games. So you will be inside a sort of very small force-field for about 5 seconds so you can plan on what to do, then all the force-fields will be released. Everyone runs to get into the action or get away from it.

P.S. I will give a ton more details in the initial post that allows you guys to start.

P.P.S. - if you have made alliances please p.m. me.

Hey, Calligraphy, the boy in your most recent post is Specs, right? I just wanted to make sure before posting.

O.K. guys I have forgotten to tell you about the water. It all smells sickly sweet, though besides that it has tons of ashes in it, it does look fine. About three hours after you drink it, unless you have boiled it you will have cramps. You won't necessarily throw up, but the water has living things that attack your nerves causing you to sometimes have spasms.

It is officially morning now (of the second day). That means unless you make a huge post including both, you can't post about just last night/ the fire. Also, the gamemaker will make this announcement at about 8:00 in the morning:

"Tributes the fire seems to have left you with clear sweet water. Do you dare drink it? I noticed that the fountain in front of the cornucopia is up and running again. Maybe that is the only water that hasn't been tinkered with. Then again it could hurt you worse. It is really your choice."

The fountain in Epcot is in fact the only clean water. But, remember that your characters don't know this.

The fire devastated everything, but the grass and trees are quickly growing back.

Any questions?

A. S.

by the only clean water, do you mean the water in the water bottles is poisoned too?

If your jug was filled at the beggining of the games then it is clean, but any water besides that, such as fountains, water rides, and lakes, is dirty.

*facepalm* bring on the sicknesses.

So iodine does nothing to purify the water?

Well, it does purify it of the other stuff you could get and it does help to get the nerve attacking things out, but you need way more than usual and you still may have cramps. So sort of, but not completely.

Name: Luna VonTrapp

Age: 14

Gender: Female

District: 2

Appearance/Picture: She is one of those people who eats a ton and is stick thin. She is really tall and wiry.

History: She has always worked at the factories. Her life was simple. Always spending her money. Her dad was a drunk and her mom was dead so she didn't care much about anything. She usually lived on the streets. Her best friends Lizzy and Rea usually kept her out of trouble.

Skills: She is very strong for her size and can get herself out of most scrapes. She is also very quick and thinks fast.

Weaknesses: She is over trusting and not careful she acts without thinking same goes for saying things. She isn't tactful and can sometimes be ruff with thins.

Personality: She is very giving and doesn't think before she does. She is very spur of the moment and tom boyish. She doesn't care what other people think and she doesn't judge people. Really, not at all she has not judgment on weather someone is even rich or poor. Nothing at all. She can easily be taken advantage of. She has no fear of anything and if you told her to jump of a bridge for a dare she would probably do it. She is very random and with her you have to expect the unexpected. She also loves words.

Up For Alliances?: In Alliance with Specs, Victor, and Charlie.

Your Symbol:

How much are you willing to post: Well, it depends on how much is needed.

Other: I really just made this character for fun and so she can die next. Because I didn't want to force anyone to die too soon that didn't want to. Though we have had plenty of deaths already. So yep.

That's funny, I'm related to the Von Trapp family!

haha that is truly awesome XD

O.K. for the next one I have been thinking something a bit, colder? I mean they would actually have a chance with the shelter. I am also going to start in a different spot. I also might spice things up in other ways. But, I still am going to keep the same arena.

What do you think?

A. S/

Different spot, same arena? I think that's fine. We seem to be comfortable with the arena we are in, so why mess with a good thing?

Also, I want a winter arena. It was mentioned in the books for past games, but I was a little disappointed when the characters never encountered it. Winter arenas will truly test survival over killing I think.

I had an idea for an arena completely in the dark. then the cornicopia has all sorts of lights and such scattered about, with extra batteries and such near the middle, weak or low-power flashlights in level one and hand cranking/recharging ones further up. It was just an odd idea I had.

I really like the idea of a cold arena, and the idea of keeping the disneyworld layout. everyone is familiar with it, and it's just easy for us. An arctic version would be perfect to mess with the tribute's minds.

Ooh, dark would be cool! But I think the winter one would be better outside disneyworld. It's florida, for heaven's sake. It isn't cold. And it wouldn't have to be complicated--a tundra environment would be pretty simple. I guess I'm biased because the Disney map won't load on my computer--so I'm basically following other people or shooting in the dark.
