Task Three: Temporary Home
Arena One: Fillius Ravenscar
The only thing that can be heard as you rise into the arena is crickets. Their chirps are almost unnaturally noisy, filling your ears. Around you is a forest, not unlike the majority of Games. To the north, hills roll left and right, with a stream running through them, forming a valley of sorts. A coniferous forest fills the east, pricks sticking out left and right, while nice and leafy trees fill the west, a sweet earthy smell coursing through them. Not quite too sweet, but just enough to be pleasant. Plains stretch out south as far as the eye can see, offering very little for concealment other than a few shrubs that seem to coat the land. There is a cool breeze in the air, balancing with the harsh sun and keeping everybody at a comfortable temperature. All the way at the end of the plain stands a doorway-shaped mirror, though the mirror is not flat but wavy, and the reflection of the arena in it looks deformed. It is protected by a light grey force field, as if the Gamemakers want you to see it to make sure you don't run into it. The Cornucopia lies in the middle, its glistening gold tail pointing straight north, like a compass would.
"Hello," Fillius' voice fills the air, monotonous and business-like. "I do hope you enjoy my creation. You see, Audax and I have decided it would be best to take separate arenas, due to... artistic differences. I do hope he hasn't messed up and made some grand spectacle."
"As for the force field, don't worry about it; it'll come down soon enough."

Arena Two: Audax Locustus
The sound of carnival music tickles your ears as your head peeps into the arena. When your plate clicks into place the sound crackles then cuts off, leaving you in an eerie silence. You eye the wooden Cornucopia. The area that will soon be the Career camp is surrounded by fast food stands and littered with wrappers. A Ferris wheel looms in the background; half the cars lay on the ground, covered in dents and blood. As you look around more a terrible thought sneaks into your conscious. Everything looks like it was deserted in seconds. Popcorn is sprawled across the few remaining tufts of grass, a clown mask lays overturned in the dirt. Even a few of the games are still running. Soon the true game will start. As the timer falls into single digits the music returns with a static start, Audax's voice hovers over a speaker.
"I always thought this place needed a little more color."

The Task:
-This task covers the first few minutes in the arena, most commonly known as the bloodbath. For those of you who skipped reading the actual task and just went straight to this (that's right, we're onto you), you may want to read the actual description for two reason. A: You just might want to know what the arena looks like. B: You need to know which arena you are in and what other tributes around you. That's right; you've been split into two arenas. Yes, we are fully aware that that might separate you from your allies. Please, no complaining about your arena or the people in it, because these are final and a lot of thought were put into these. Seriously. I made two lists. Not one, but TWO.
-Five people must die in this entry. At least one must die by your hand, and two others have to be seen directly. You may use the faces in the sky to reveal the last two deaths if you wish, but those other three must happen during the actual bloodbath. At the end of your entry, please hand in a list of the tributes you killed (they must be from your arena) as well as three secret ballot deaths. These do not need to be tributes in your arena.
-Awards will be given for Best Entry, Best Characterization, Best Quote, First Entry, and Last Entry.
-Hand in by Monday, July 29th at 8 PM EST. Handing in within the hour before it is due will result in instantly losing a point off your entry.
-Enver Code and Stu Misterpot do not need to hand in this task and will get an instant score of twelve.
-Word Limit: 1200 words
-Eight tributes will die, ten will be put up for votes.
(Failure to hand in will result in instantly being put up for votes, without your tribute score to help you. If you did not hand in another task, then it will result in instant death.
