"HELLO?! Is this thing even on?"

Epethmeus pushes aside the tent flap rubbing his tired eyes, Fiametta angrily swearing behind him.

"Can you all see me? Can you all hear me?"

Lucky sits with Patrick in tense stillness, as she cannot see she must now rely on absolute silence.

Cupid Valentine looks up from his blood stained hands in confusion, his eyes blood shot from reckless time.

"Wakey Wakey! Alithia, press that button there. No... No the blue one. Okay now press it..."

A thundering alarm booms across the arena waking up the remainder of sleeping tributes.

"There that should do it... Welcome to day three. You've been through a lot... Witnessed the beauty and elegance of Vinella, the impatience and directness of Alithia..."

The tributes gravely think back the tasks behind them, simply dreading what lies ahead.

"Well I've been up awhile creating this for you... I hope you appreciate it." Vibius' sly smile beams with ambition. Suddenly, the grass around you slowly rises... Three feet... Four feet. "Oh and must you all be so nice to each other?" He clicks his fingers and immediately you are thrown into the sky just before being scattered around the arena... When you gather your feet not only has the grass grown to sixteen feet... But you are also alone.

Vibius' smug laugh pounds in the echoing fields of grass; you can no longer see his pampered face. "Be careful.. The grass is a little sharper and thicker than when it's only inches long, You can't just waltz on through it you know! Good luck finding your friends!" The Gamemakers voice trails away. "OH and be carful of the roots! They like to tangle around somewhat innocent passers by..."

His voice vanishes from all sense. The clear sky can just be seen floating above you. It's beaming sun aching your eyes though only if you look up... You feel as though the grass is almost a gift to shade you from the now scorching sun... Though beneath you, some roots slide between your ankles.. Perhaps not then.

-----------------------------------------------

- you may NOT find your allies at the end or during this task.

- you don't have to kill but the max number is five. Three will go at the end of this task, the most 5-6 deaths going up for votes (depending on death ties)

- No word limit. And hand in for FOUR days time. (Five if I have less than half the entries by then) sorry but loads of you missed last task so a few of you are slacking. Good luck! May the odds be ever in your favour.
