Writer's Games: Carnival

Task Five: Opposition

Sayuri returns to the booth after finishing the hiding away the dead bodies of the fallen. Sayuri's required items have been stored away, like the bodies of Evangeline Lore, Jefferson Hatter, Lucinda Ebony and Charlotte Quinn.

Callisto still cannot decide what he wants the victims to do next. Soon, the tributes will be thrown into their ultimate attraction: the fun house. However, final preparation is needed and in the meantime, the remaining people have very little to do.

Atilius shakes his head as the face of the old woman is hidden under a blanket. He and Callisto share the same thought; no one knows what the people should do in the meantime. They've collected things, they've been thrown onto broken rides, they've faced their fears and they've hidden around the carnival.

Sayuri comes up with one more idea - it isn't a great one, but they need something that will distract the others during their final preparations.

"Remaining losers," Sayuri speaks into the microphone, looking at the few people left. "We're going to assign you a fun little challenge. Yes, a challenge that you won't like in the slightest. It's simple: you and your opponent will be placed in a small area of the carnival, and you have to kill your opponent."

Congratulations to Andrew James Alger for surviving the last task.

TASK:

Yes, I am going to be assigning you a person to kill, and you have no say in the matter. Don't fret, for these kills don't count towards your total.

You have free reign where you want to go, although there won't be too many places that you can go. The first idea I had was Bumper Cars. If you have no ideas of your own, just use that one.

You have to kill them, no exceptions. You may accidentally kill them, or you may kill them in cold blood, but you cannot leave them just unconscious.

Also, any belongings that people had in bags or in pockets have now been confiscated, leaving you with absolutely nothing. By all means, use the hook-a-duck hooks to gauge someone's eye out...

KILLS:

Everyone gets two ballots. No entry deaths count. If you want to kill five people including your assigned death, by all means, do that. As long as you send your two ballots with your entry, either by PM or with the email.

WORD LIMIT:

No proper limit, as usual. Hmm, maybe longer than 400 words... That's reasonable and you can all achieve that easily!

SPONSORSHIP:

The special sponsored tribute for this round is: Arwen Black.

Again, you all get one extra ballot and one death taken off of your total.

BONUS POINTS:

First entry [+1]

Best entry [+3]

Most creative death [+2]

DEADLINE:

10pm GMT, Wednesday, 29th October. Yes the clocks have turned back - not that it makes a difference. Again, no extensions will be given just because of the tight schedule I'm on, and I'm gonna be extremely emotional on the due date, so try not to send them last minute. I guarantee I'll be crying already.

ASSIGNED KILLS:

I generated these because I'm too lazy to make pairings. I'm laughing at number two and number seven because I'm an evil person.

1. Maxine Carlos and Rigby Harrison Mercer

2. Yukiko Scarlet and Eleanor Lennon Mercer

3. Charlotte Aurelia Li and Andrew James Alger

4. Morgan Griffin and Zach Forrester

5. Viola Fern Rigby and Aspen Facine

6. Perdita Desdemona and Cleopatra Carmen

7. Bobby "Skullcrusher" Griffin and Arwen Black

Any questions, just comment or PM. Sorry that this is a day late!
