Your decorated-to-district metal plate rises to the surface. First you see the arena draped in a pearly white sheeting of snow. To the north and east of the arena, a forest of jade fur trees struggle to boast through the cold ice. To the south, frozen whitish blue streams of ice show where rivers once ran, the area dotted with small snow covered hills.
Ahead of you is a forty foot Christmas tree standing with twenty eight large golden lights gleaming in a spiral around it; the last light is a star at the top. Little do you know that at each death, a light black outs until one star remains. Directly under the branches of the ginormous Christmas tree (this years design of cornucopia) are little gifts, symmetrically facing your path. NO OTHER OBJECTS. When narrowing your eyes you see your names tagged on each gift.
"Welcome! Welcome!" Vinella beams from a screen, an icy blue coloured drink in her hand and some sort of cocktail sausage on a stick in the other. "I welcome you into my arena... I made it just for you!" She giggles..
"You will find many.... gifts in this arena. Beasts created by each of us. Owls with spear beaks, Polar bears with fur that changes colour as it adapts with the weather... oh yes! Thats another thing! A day is a seasonal year here in our arena... Today may be loomed with a deathly chill though tomorrow flowers could bloom to the sky, trapping you in emerald mazes..." Her ambitious expression stares greedily at the pool of tributes.
"Underneath the tree you'll notice presents... these presents only open by your hand and contain only what you have deserved.... Good luck tributes... and may the odds be EVER in your favour." She whispers, popping the cocktail sausage in her mouth. The screen disperse and a golden timer replaces it, floating in mid air. It starts at Ten.

You cannot negociate your given items/weapons. Maximum kills is SEVEN, and the minimum is FOUR. The word limit is 1,000. You can have whatever under that but just DON'T GO OVER IT.
Please be kind enough to tell me who you've killed. Although I read every entry I often get confused and I need confirmation :)
Hand in for FIVE days time people. If you can't do it because of 'Homework' then start it tonight or tomorrow. Fail to hand in and you go up for votes. No exceptions. Be realistic with deaths and Have.Fun.With.It - Its supposed to be a game not a burden. Good luck!!
