Faye Silver stalked down the hallway, the blood of her father and her sister staining her clothes and dripping down her arms and legs. Her breathing was ragged and hollow, her eyes wild with the electric feeling of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The knife in her hands was slick with blood, and as Faye tightened her grip on the blade she remembered the murders she had just committed.
First it was Juliette. As her older sister had begged for mercy, backing up into the corner of her room, Faye had laughed. Laughed at how weak her sister was, laughed at how pathetic she looked slumped in the corner, laughed at how easy this all was. Next had been her father. Faye had never seen anything better than that look of pure shock on his face when she pulled out the knife. Her father’s face had gone from confusion to shock to realisation to fear.
Faye continued to walk down the hall, her eyes set on the gamemakers room. She could see gamemakers seated around the tables, tapping on holograms and creating the next task. As Faye watched the faces of the dead flashed up on a hologram, Rex Tyree and Mango Langcaster.
“Hey, where’s Antonio?” Faye heard someone ask. Faye smirked and flung open the door, holding the knife out in front of her.
“Dead,” she spat, “And if you don’t do what I say, you’re next.”
The gamemakers gaped at Faye, the young girl they thought was so innocent was now covered in blood and threatening their lives. Faye strolled up to the hologram merrily, a psychopathic grin on her face.
“Since I am the only remaining daughter of the previous Head Gamemaker, I shall be in charge.” She declared boldly. She grinned out at the shocked faces of the gamemakers, then walked up to the nearest gamemaker.
“So, what’s the next task?” Faye asked softly, a hint of malice in her voice. The gamemaker she was standing over quaked with fear, but she still brought up the hologram.
“Antonio organised for the tributes to be attacked by the-“
“BORINGG,” Faye yelled out exaggeratedly, “That isn’t original. No, I have a better idea.”
“A-And what’s that?” The gamemaker asked. Faye turned around to face her, trailing the knife up and down her fingers with a maniacal grin.
“Send them to the underworld.”

Welcome to the semi-finals!
Task: For this task, Faye has taken charge of the gamemakers and, instead of using the task Antonio had previously created, she is instead sending the final 6 into the Underworld.
Your tributes must make their way past the river styx, somehow paying Charon the ferryman, and then they must get past Cerberus, the 3 headed dog. Those are the only real requirements of this task, everything else is pretty free reign. Your tribute could only go through those two obstacles, or they could go through the very depths of the underworld. Completely up to you.
However, your tribute must still be in the underworld by the end of the task. You cannot leave... yet.
Kills: You are to kill 3 people this task. No more, no less. They must be in your entry.
Elimination: Two tributes will be eliminated this round. However, I will be doing something a tad different. From here on out, the rankings do not matter.
This task, I will give two tributes 'byes', which mean you automatically move to the finals, and the other 4 will be on the chopping block. These byes will be decided by who I personally think has the best entries. It will not be affected by where you are on the rankings.
Bonus Points: None
Sponser Perks: None
Due Date: This task is due by 16th of March, 9PM AEDT
