Tonight, everything is quiet in the arena. Now that half the tributes have died, everything seems even bigger than before. There are so many places to hide that it seems almost impossible to find each other. Things have gotten too spacious and, as seen during the last few days, kills have dwindled considerably.
The group composed of Kimi, Delta and Calder sit near the end of the northern tunnel. The end of these staircase at the east is where Annaliese is hidden, now without Kessler. In the south one can find Jamilla and Kase, while Scorpio rests alone in the west. The other tributes are scattered somewhere between them, leaving only Cartier at a fixed point: the room where the Games begun. Staff in hand, he waits for tributes to stumble upon him.
But all of them look at the sky.
Marley Boxman. Kessler Drawes.
Suddenly everything is shaking. The ground splits and the ceilings crumble throughout the tunnels of the arena. A simple ploy to gather them all together, but it's an effective one. Staying in the tomb room is not an option either; rocks are beginning to fall down in there as well, blocking off the staircases. Soon anybody using it as refuge from the tunnels' dangers will be trapped without oxygen. Only one route is available.
Running.
------------------
THE TASK:
- Not the most fun when it comes to emotionally scarring the tributes, but this task is necessary: the arena task. As stated in the task, you must escape the cave-in. This leaves you quite a bit of creative license, so do with it what you must. Please bear in mind that the places I have put you in the tunnels were mainly for my own enjoyment. You can move pretty much everywhere.
- There is only one other requirement for this task: somewhere along the way, you must develop a serious (but survivable) injury. Enough of you guys getting through everything unscathed, alright? ;)
- Word limit: 1,500
- Deaths: I said these would be getting more difficult to survive, didn't I? Four will die this task, with six facing voting. Two must die in your entry and one over ballot.
- Due date: Monday, January 12th at 10 PM GMT.
