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.

[Former Victor, probably current mentor, never been a believer in the whole system, but knows how to play along. I'm definitely in it more for the non-arena stuff than anything else, but I'm flexible.]

[Tribute probably from District 1 or District 8, absolutely down for her falling in with the resistance or being a recent victor who wasn't supposed to win but did through sheer luck and circumstance, and is still pretty messed up about it (mentally for sure, but probably physically as well)]
clan_techie: (looking up)

Techie | Dredd | OTA

[personal profile] clan_techie 2024-01-29 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Tribute from District 3 or 5 is most likely, he doesn't look like much, but he's a scrapper, good with a knife and even better with re-wiring things. I'm down for Arena-based things, Resistance-based things or anything in between.
Also possibly on the game-makers team, but he'd hate every minute of that.]

[District 2 career, clearly. But she is absolutely ready to just step off the train and disappear, and will do so given half a chance. Totally down for in-Arena, aftermath, even resistance-shaped stuff, let's go.]

Clint Barton/Hawkeye/Ronin | MCU | OTA

[personal profile] differentcircumstances 2024-01-29 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Former victor, current mentor, maybe also one of the ones on the inside trying to bring the system down, you know, everyday normal stuff.]

[Very eclectic stylist, seems to have no set standards for who she picks up every year, or every other year, and it may just be based on ~Vibes~ but she also has a little boutique in the Capitol supplying offbeat fashion oddities to the citizens.
There's also rumors about her family, but she seems pleasant and law-abiding enough.]
jukebox_hero: (concerned browcrease)

Eddie + Stranger Things + OTA

[personal profile] jukebox_hero 2024-01-29 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Tribute from District 5 or 6 seems most likely. I'm down for all the shenanigans, training, in the arena, after the games, getting involved with the resistance, whatever.]
notjeff_yet: (go fish)

10K - Z Nation - OTA

[personal profile] notjeff_yet 2024-01-29 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Tribute, probably district 11, but maybe 7. He doesn't talk much but he's a crack shot with a sling. I'm down for training, in-arena or post-arena situations, lay it on me.]
the_hair: (lipbite + neck)

Steve | Stranger Things | OTA

[personal profile] the_hair 2024-01-29 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Former Victor (District 1 or 2 probably) and there are plenty of people who think he shouldn't have won, since it was kind of a fluke that he did, it's also why he gets in uh, statistically speaking a lot of fights. Sometimes he even wins them.]

[Victor turned Mentor, won his games by being better at traps than the rest of them, and not hesitating to strike when the time came. Absolutely okay with him being wrapped up in the resistance and all that.]

( most likely an escort to the tributes or a stylist - brainwashed by the capital but starting to realize they're really not shit. or she ends up in the arena idk lol. it could be fun. )

[She was barely fourteen when she was reaped in Distrcit 8. Although she was very often (and still is) mistaken as being younger due to her size. Notably spent a lot of her Games crying, and only made it to the end due to her alliance and sheer dumb luck. Up for anything really, game shenanigans, attempts at Mentoring, rebellion things, what comes after, this AU lives rent free in my head.]

[personal profile] airshipcaptain 2024-01-30 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[An 18 year old Tribute from Disctrict 11. With a determination to return home to his little sister, and the advantage of being one of the bigger tributes, the odds turned out to be in his favor. As a Mentor he does his best, but as years go tries to compartmentalize everything. Needless to say, he would be very down for anything rebellion related. OTA!]
