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. Maybe you're not a Tribute, but a Capitol citizen at a lavish watching party. Maybe you're a Mentor courting sponsors, or a Stylist getting your Tribute ready for the arena. Or are you a Gamemaker, with even more cruel surprises to shock and awe?


Let the Games begin.

I imagine Bruce would either be from District 3 or 8, and would be a complete underdog due to his general physical weakness. Maybe they'd become unlikely allies after Natasha realizes Bruce is pretty smart/knows how to play the game? ]

They don't really talk during the preparations stage. Regulus' mentor tells him not to, to up the drama. Pampered pet younger brother from District 2 in the same Hunger Games as his older sibling that deserted his home not speaking, not entertaining each other. It will give more drama if they get to have a tearful reunion in the games, and he's more likely to have a generous sponsor that way. If they have a reunion. He knows the implications of having a reunion at all. He's meant to betray him in the end, to stab his own brother in the back.

Mostly he doesn't care about dying. He worries that his brother really does hate him.

Regulus doesn't talk to many other people, either. He and the girl from the same district are meant to be close, friends but not lovers, but they're above the other districts because they're the Capitol's favorites. He just doesn't want to make friends that try to kill him later. He hates the entire idea of the games (as many do), but his parents had thought their son safe from being pulled because of their ingratiating influence. Regulus thinks there's something else at play: entertainment value.

Pit brothers against each other.

He's been trained to fight anyway, and he's good at many close-quarters weapons. He'd rather be at a distance of course, but sneaking his way close suits him. He doesn't want to fight. He has to fight.

His stealth had let him get supplies at the beginning too - he'd managed to sneak through people unnoticed, snatch weapons and supplies, and be off before he'd even been focused on by another Tribute. A knife, a baton, a pile of arrows but no bow - he'd seen the boy that had taken the bow, snatched the arrows before he could - and some general supplies. Enough for a while, but he can't play pacifism in this.

Regulus is sly and careful and slow in his trek through the woods. He's already seen two people killed from a distance, and several more have gone down elsewhere. He wonders where Sirius is.
