THE HUNGER GAMES MEME



Congratulations, Tribute.

You have been selected to participate in the Hunger Games.

The rules are simple: there can only be one victor.
You have to kill everyone else or die.

The last one standing wins.
May the odds be in your favour.

⚔

OPTIONS FOR THE SCENARIO-MINDED:

1. ENEMIES: in for the kill
The truth is you've been plotting each other's death for a long time. The only thing different about this situation is that everyone else actually wants you to off each other. Who cares if both of you are probably going to die anyway: no one is taking this bastard down except you.

2. ROMANCE: lovers in a dangerous time
What do lovers do when they know they're about to die? Last kiss, last words, last fuck? Maybe you're desperately trying to protect each other from the rest. Maybe you're the last two left alive. What sacrifices are you willing to make? How far will you allow each other to go?

3. ALLIES: set your arms down
It's in both of your best interests to stick together. Two together is more deadly than one, and you can pool supplies and weapons. Of course, this arrangement is most definitely temporary. Maybe it'll fall apart tonight, or tomorrow, or next week. Maybe your alliance has already run its course, and it's about to fall apart...right now.

4. TORTURE: death's not the worst
Sure, the point is to kill them. But why leave it at that? Maybe you've always secretly gotten off on this sort of thing, or maybe you've just cracked under the stress. When everyone is going to die, there's no point in sticking to all those rules society laid down for you any more. You've already incapacitated them; there's no way they can fight back. Might as well have some fun, right?

5. VICTORY: the finish line
You've done it. Last one standing. You've chosen to live, and no one but you knows how much that choice cost you, because they're all dead. At this point there's nothing that will stop you from stepping up to claim victory. You killed every other tribute. Or did you?

6. OTHER: write your own story
Anything and everything you can think of. In the arena, there are no rules.

⚔

Let the Games begin.

2; its on betches

[You probably hear the scrape of Dave's sword against the ground behind you. It's eerily quiet otherwise. Despite all the chaos and death, things are almost calm now.

But there can only be a few reasons why that could be.

Perhaps someone is hiding and ready to jump at the best moment.

Or...]

Harley...? [It could just be you two are the last ones. It's likely. With everything going on so quickly, it just felt more like a blur.]

awwww yes

[astrometry]

[ She whirls around, hands scrabbling for an arrow, placing it in the bow quick as a heartbeat. It's aimed at his face before Jade even realizes that it's Dave, and only a quick recalculation sends the arrow flying over his head instead of at it. ]

Dave!

[knightime]

[He instinctively ducks, even if the arrow went over his head. It was reflexive to try and dodge whatever came at him at this point. He staggers a bit though. He's tired. He knows she's tired. They're both tired.]

Harle-Jade. I think this is it. [It was a simple statement, but it meant so much.]

[astrometry]

N-no. No no no, I'm not going to-- [ She shakes her head. It's been awhile since she last slept, and it's taking its toll on her; the bags are heavy under her eyes, and she can't stop yawning. ]

Maybe we could just nap, or something, but I'm not going to hurt you!

[knightime]

[He's tired too. It's sheer will that's been making him fight on for quite awhile. He knows it's silly to think that it can just end here. Just the two of them. It sounds wonderful which is why he knew better.]

What happens after the nap though? We can't just call it quits here. [And for once he wanted to. To just say 'I'm done' and call it quits. But they're in a fucked up game that won't let them stop.] We could nap. But you know that it'll only prolong what happens next.

[astrometry]

[ She shakes her head, and the bow falls out of her hands as she slips to the ground. Her fingernails dig into the dirt -- goodbye, she thinks. It's the last time she'll feel the earth, or the grass, or sunshine. ]

Dave, you have to go home. To Bro, and John and Rose...you have to leave me here, okay?

[knightime]

[The sword clatters to the ground and he's kneeling in front of her. His hands are shaking slightly as he lifts her face up so she can look up at him. His lips are set to a grimace. It's a wonder that he's somehow kept the sunglasses in one piece still.]

You know I can do that. Shit. Jade, I don't want to leave you here. You know I was fucking scared out of my mind that I wouldn't see you again? That this crazy fucking place would get you or me both? It was all fucked up. This fucking thing is all fucked up.

[astrometry]

[ She's crying, though she doesn't remember when that happened -- but her eyes meet his anyway, because she wants to hear everything that he has to say. ]

I thought you were gone -- I kept looking for you on the screens, to see if you were dead, and everyday I was so happy that you weren't. You can't go now!

[knightime]

[He presses his forehead against hers, noses barely brushing.]

Things are different here Jade. I can't just use time shit shenanigans to make things different. A decision has to be made. It's more like I'm Doomed and you're the real deal you know?
