Klo grinned as she noticed Jasmine's missed arrow. Klo limped towards Silver and Emerald. Almost all the other tributes had left. "I say we grab some packs and weapons and head out into the arena and set up camp. I think we need to look at our wounds as they could get infected." Klo reasoned with the other two district 1 tributes and snatched up 3 iodine tablets and stuffed them in her pant pocket.

Thrall's arrow sang forward, finding purchase in the back of Pike; the male from district 3. As he female district partner had just succumbed to Emerald, Cade and Silver's vicious attacks; the two fell to the ground nearly in unison. Bay stared sightless -ly towards the sky; a small globule of blood forming at the corner of her mouth. Her body was flecked with wounds from the career pack; whose eyes swung to Pike.
Wounded but very conscious; Pike began to scramble hurriedly on his hands and knees towards the Meadow. Silver and Cade whooped to one another; slowly closing in on Pike with malicious expressions. It looked to be shaping up to be a game of cat and mouse and the mouse wasn't getting very far...
Emerald and Diamond hung back; standing beside Klo. Diamond was looking skyward; apparently concerned about where that arrow could have come from. She continues to scan Cornucopia wordlessly as the handful of tributes remaining scavenged for gear. More than one felt the weight of her gaze and decided to abandon the Cornucopia. Sorrel and Odin run for the Waste; Elena and Joel for the Beach.
"Still a few people around..." Emerald noted. "But thats not a bad idea, Klo. Want to finish them off tonight?"
Cannon! Cannon! Cannon! Cannon!
Four cannon blasts signal that four tributes have met their deaths during the Blood Bath. Perhaps more would follow... perhaps you?

"I like the way you think..." Klo grinned. "Sure, why not. Get them out of their misery." Klo snickered and took 3 strides to the right to grab a sword stained with blood on the ground. She flipped it in the air and it glinted as the sun gleamed on the sharp metal. Klo caught it in her left handed and felt the soft leather of the handle. "So I got some arrows and a sword. Lets go get em!" Klo suggested.

Diamond gestured upwards; frowning.
"There's an archer somewhere around here that shot Pike. I can't quite figure out where he is. The shot didn't come from those trees." She gestured to the north; where the Big Alliance had ran to.
Emerald glanced around; evaluating the field. "They boys have Pike." She declared. She raises a finger; pointing towards the Waste; then after Elena and Joel.
"I'm good with pulling back. Should we go after those ones- those ones- or the Big Alliance when we're ready?" She asked Klo and Diamond.

As the career pack conversed, a certain period was reached about Cornucopia. With sudden and unexpected violence; an explosion sounded to the right. A girl was blasted from her platform; bits of gore and bloodied clothing pelting the ground. A second later; another explosion sounded. Klo, Kale and Thrall's ears were ringing from the sound, the pain taking moments to recede... Two more faces would be projected in the sky tonight; a tragedy that the two girls had not taken step into the arena willingly.
Cannon! Cannon!

"It doesn't matter who we go after... What do you think?" Klo asks before she heard the cannon. Klo spun to her right to see a girl blasted from their platform. A second later a explosion sounded. Klos ears were ringing like mad. She cursed. "What was that!!!" she demanded.

Thrall's ears rang, but his arm was steady. He blocked everything else out. Slow breathing. He almost thought he felt his heart stop as he saw the girl spinning and demanding what was going on. Prey.He took his time, and let the arrow fly. It was a good shot. He could feel the cleanness of it. 2012-05-30 20:37:27 Thrall rolled 14 dice to "Dexterity 3 + Athletics 5 + Spec + FS Archery Bow 4 + High Ground 2 + Aim 4 - 5 Called to Eye" 9,2,7,4,9,10,10,9,2,3,10,4,5,8,5,6,3 (7 successes)

"I don't like that Big Alliance." Emerald was saying. "I saw flashes of talent in there. Give them enough time by themselves, and -"TWANG. An arrow flew forward, plunging itself into Klo's eye. Pain exploded in her head and Klo collapsed onto the sand, lying on her back. The pain was excruciating. This was the worst thing she had ever felt. It didn't seem to end as Klo lay on the sand, now partially blinded in her left eye. Her other eye had blood running into it, making seeing impossible. The arrow had to come out, let the attack made the careers explode. "Told you there was an archer." Diamond reported helpfully; drawing a knife. This time she had been watching and stared at Thrall as she took a second to test the weight; to assure herself that this was the right knife. The career made a throll at Thrall, her expression unchanged from one of concentration. The choice to maul someone was not difficult for her. The knife flew forward and found purchase in Thrall's left shoulder. Diamond rolled 5 dice to "Knife throwing " 7,2,9,6,8 (2 successes) Emerald followed Diamond's gaze, notching her own arrow. She followed Diamond's lead and leveled her arrow at thier attacker; staring at Thrall without emotion. The arrow was released and hurtled forward, finding purchase in Thrall's left arm. Emerald rolled 6 dice to "Archery (Shooting Thrall)" 7,1,7,10,6,9,5 (2 successes) A slim blonde girl knelt on the Cornocopia floor. Quietly gathering gear from a dead tribute, it had seemed that the career pack had overlooked her. It didn't surprise her. Quiet, unovtrusive Sandy. Her own stylist had stumbled on her name more than once. But at seeing the knife wielding career fall; Sandy suddenly felt a thrill. A thrill a seeing one of the frightening, vicious careers fall in the sand; just as Sandy had been crawling around for what seemed like forever. The girl straightened her bow; aiming it at the career with an arrow in her eye. It wasn't fair or sporting, but she was seeing one more face in the sky. A face that in Sandy's opinion, deserved to be there. She drew the bowstring and released the arrow. Sandy rolled 4 dice to "Shooting Klo" 10,8,9,4,1 (3 successes)

Thrall felt the blood running down his shirt and grinned. Oh, he wasn't expecting to live through this, but he was expecting that people would remember what was happening. He stayed low, making sure he had his partial cover, and drew back the arrow, aiming for the wrist of the archer who'd fired on him. The bow twanged, and the shot felt clean, again. He laughed. 2012-05-30 20:59:11 Thrall rolled 12 dice to "Dexterity 3 + Athletics 5 + Spec + FS Archery Bow 4 + High Ground 2 - 3 Called to the Arm " 8,10,4,5,4,5,5,7,9,10,4,2,7,8 (5 successes)

Kate rapidly took stock of the many things that were happening all at once. She had seen the reels of previous Hunger Games, who hadn't, when it was required that everyone watched? But nothing about studying the tapes, of hearing her mother's "glorious" tales of fighting and bloodletting could prepare the teenager for actually being there herself. She was immediately hit with a surge of adrenaline, and Kate scanned around to locate the item that she desired most - the dagger. She shot forward, a hand curling around it. The weight was comfortable in her hand. And then Kale rushed forward, to plow into the nearest person to her. 2012-05-30 21:43:22 Kale rolled 8 dice to "Strength + Brawl + Spec + Punch Dagger" 10,6,8,7,4,3,6,8,7 (3 successes) Link 2012-05-30 21:43:11 Kale rolled 9 dice to "Strength + Brawl + Spec + Punch Dagger" 6,9,6,5,7,9,5,7,2 (2 successes)

"Come on!" Emerald shouted to Diamond, running towards Cornocopia. Diamond clutched her knife roll in her hand and followed her ally towards the raised structure. Upon reaching the tail of the Cornocopia, Emerald leaped upwards, her hand grasping for it. She made an angered cry as her injured shoulder wasn't able to follow through her initial grasp; causing her to land back on the ground. Beside the girl; Diamond leaped upwards. She had a poor handhold, but wiggled her way up onto the horn. Diamond rolled 6 dice to "Climbing to high ground" 1,4,2,4,7,8 (1 successes) Emerald rolled 4 dice to "Climbing - 2" 5,6,6,10,3 (1 successes) Infuriated at her ally's success, Emerald made another attempt. She pushed through the pain and pulled herself up onto the platform. The girl wasted no time, barreling towards Thrall. Pulling her good arm back, she lashed out at Thrall's left shoulder - where she saw an arrow. The blow was weak, barely landing upon Thrall. Emerald rolled 4 dice to "Brawl attacking Thrall" 6,6,8,5 (1 successes) Down below, the blonde tribute Cade followed the girls with his eyes. Seeing Emerald moving for Thrall; he too began to run towards the horn. On the ground, the blonde that Kale had attacked shrieked in pain, dancing back. She checked her wounds and gasped as her hand came away red. She made a desperate cry and launched herself towards Kale, a hand flying towards Kale's face. The girl over reached, placing herself beside Kale without striking her. Sandy rolled 5 dice to "Brawl" 1,4,2,7,3 (0 successes)

Thrall nocked an arrow with a wild, almost mad grin as the girl swung at him. "Hey. My high ground, little girl," he growled out, unleashing an arrow into her thigh to try and knock her down. This was a rush. What a rush! He hoped the parents of the careers were looking on in horror as their precious children were slashed up by some feral boy from the sticks. 2012-05-30 22:24:12 Thrall rolled 13 dice to "Shooting Emerald in the leg" 10,4,5,2,4,4,9,7,8,6,6,10,8,7,2 (5 successes)

With the adrenaline still pumping violently through her system, and the desire to remain alive at the forefront of her mind, Kale gave her newfound opponent no leeway. She threw a punch, and then a second. There was more power this time- it was almost terrifying, to acknowledge how easy it could be to damage another human being. But this is why they were there, in the Arena. It was a dog-eat-dog world for them right now. 2012-05-30 22:24:49 Kale rolled 9 dice to "Strength + Brawl + Spec + Punch Dagger" 9,10,8,8,5,9,10,4,10,5,3,2 (7 successes) Kale rolled 8 dice to "Strength + Brawl + Spec + Punch Dagger" 7,5,10,10,10,5,9,5,10,4,7,4 (5 successes) Sandy will need to roll Stamina twice, to see if she remains conscious after the E-Suxx.

Diamond clutched her knife roll in her hand and reached within, drawing a knife. She discarded the roll upon the ground and danced forward. The blonde had dire intentions, but misstepped. Stumbling on the curved horn, her knife scored only a shallow cut on Thrall's right arm. Diamond rolled 5 dice to "Knife attack " 5,1,1,10,5,3 (1 successes) "Diamond! Wake the **** up!" Emerald shouted to Diamond, crawling on her side to reach out for the pouch that Diamond had discarded. Reaching for the glittering treasure inside, Emerald drew one of the throwing knives. The girl turned back over and studied the fight, a frown of concentration coming over her features. Was the career trained in knife throwing as well? The red head hurtled a knife towards Thrall, proving she had skill enough. Emerald rolled 6 dice to "Knife throwing" 7,8,8,2,10,2,8 (4 successes) "How about you all grow the h*** up." Cade admonished as he pulled himself up the horn. "Are you serious right now? " He took in the arrow wounds upon the girls with surprise; moving towards Thrall. "Diamond." He warned the girl as he approached, leveling his sword at Thrall. His sword sliced into Thrall, causing the career to give a smirk. The expression faded as the career focussed his attention on Thrall, preparing for the other tribute's retaliation. Cade rolled 7 dice to "Sword fighting (Arena)" 8,4,4,1,9,8,8 (4 successes) On the ground, the blonde that Kale had attacked gave a soft sound as she stumbled forward, her knees going out from under her. She hit the ground, unmoving. A careful side step around the girl showed that she was staring skyward, her eyes unfocussed. She was alive; but very disoriented. Red began to stain her shirt as her wounds bled freely.

Thrall took the hits, grinning like a maniac all over his pallid face. He jerked back and losed another arrow. In the melee, it was harder to score a clean hit. But this time, he was aiming right for Cade's eye. Try hitting me blind!2012-05-30 22:51:18 Thrall rolled 13 dice to "Shooting Cade int the eye + WP" 1,3,8,10,6,4,5,1,7,1,8,3,6,3 (3 successes)

We're here to survive, Kale reminded herself, as she pulled back her fist.
Her fingers curled tightly, her concentration wholly on the prone girl. She was someone's kid, some nice guy's future girlfriend. Her family would be watching this on screens that were displayed to every single District in Panem. Maybe they were holding their breath, praying to something.
No one would be praying for her- her folks just wanted glory. Maybe her parents were cheering her on. It would probably be the first damned time.
"Sorry, kid," Kale muttered, before letting her fists fly forward to take her opponent out of the game completely.

Cade reaches for the arrow, grimacing. "No. Don't touch it. " Emerald warns him sharply. Cade grumbles. "I can still sorta see him -"[/b] "Cade, step back." Emerald barked to Cade, leaning on her side to evaluate the fight. She watches Cade, directing him towards her. "Just take one step directly back." Cade takes a step back and Emerald immediately responds. "One more. There you go. Don't move." The girl now evlaulates Thrall, studying him as she balances a knife in her hand. This is more than 'where to put the knife', she also evaluates Diamond quickly. She's measuring the temperature of the fight. This girl was the tactician to the brute, one that the headstrong male apparently trusted very mich. Her look of concentration prevails as her attention goes back to Thrall. There's no emotion as she speaks; and not to him. "Don't let up. Stay to his left."[/b] Diamond remains to the left of Thrall and makes a quick motion with her wrist, trying to attack the tribute's wounded shoulder. This time her blade makes more of an impression, scoring a deeper cut on Thrall's arm. The girl remains to the left of him, gripping her knife. Diamond rolled 5 dice to "Knife attack " 2,9,9,10,5,1 (3 successes) Emerald makes an attack on her own at Thrall, throwing the knife that she had been balancing in her hand. The blade sails forward, finding purchase in his left arm Emerald exhales, her expression still stern with concentration. 23:49:49 Emerald rolled 9 dice to "Knife throwing (+wp)" 2,2,6,3,10,4,1,3,10,6,9 (3 successes) Down on the ground, there's a sickening noise as Kale's fist finds its mark. The girl never awakens as the life is pounded out of her; she simply lays still. She seems to deflate somewhat, becoming even smaller as her life leaves her with a quiet exhale. Her small body is slightly crumpled now. It must look pathethic on the vids projecting this back home.

The blow took her backward. Klo tumbled onto her back as her vision turned red. "frell!" She exclaimed as she clutched her eye. Seconds later she felt another sharp pain. She sat up to reveal a arrow lodged. "ARGHHH!" She screamed. She gritted her teeth as she felt the sharp pains when she tried to get up but she ignored them. She gets to her feet and pries the arrow out of her eye feeling extreme pain. A steady stream of blood flows down her cheek now. She steadied herself before slowly making her way to the cornucopia to get in the action. She attempted to scramble up the left side of the cornucopia before sliding down. She tumbled to the ground and landed in a heap before moaning. She righted herself before scrambling up the side again. This time she made it. She scrambled over the edge and landed on the top behind everyone who was battling it out. She sighed in relief and took a moment for her to catch her breath.

Blood ran, and there was intense pain from a dozen wounds now. His head swam from the bleeding. Thrall grinned, showing off shockingly white teeth in his pale face. He pulled the bow back, and sank an arrow straight into Cade's other eye. "You're never going to kill me before I cripple the lot of you," he said softly, his voice quiet. "And then you'll be easy prey for the other tributes. No Career pack winners this year, you pack of cowards." 2012-05-31 18:59:08 Thrall rolled 10 dice to "Cade's OTHER Eye" 7,8,5,9,6,3,4,9,7,4 (3 successes)

Below the fighting on the Cornucopia roof, two tributes are within the horn. Silver and Emily both bear two packs that have enjoyed several minutes of stocking from the wealth of the horn. At hearing the continued shouts of battle from above, Silver steps out from beneath the horn and surveys the fight. "Little one,"[/color] He addresses Emily. "- help the girls. "[/color] The two move out of the horn, hurrying to the low point. Emily remains on the ground as Silver begins to climb. Cade makes an anguished cry as the second arrow lodges in his eye socket. Both hands go to the new offending arrow, but he resists pulling it out. He makes an anguished groan; and as he listens to Thrall's words, the tone changes. He makes a wordless, angry shout of rage. Rage at his new disability, rage at the pain, rage at perhaps realizing that his pack may not take the Horn. His hands outstretch towards Thrall, a blind groping motion. "Klo, Silver - help Cade."[/b] Emerald barks. She makes a move to stand to do so herself and grimaces, unable to straighten her leg. She makes a noise of faustration, striking the side of the horn with her hand. She won't draw a knife; knowing the chances of hitting her own ally. Silver answers the call, hurrying towards the two boys on the ground. Shock blooms on his face as he sees the grevious wounds that Cade has recieved. The large career hefts his sword, attempting to wound the tribute from district 12. Cade's shoulder moves at the wrong second, causing Silver to make a weaker lunge than he normally would. The blade slices into Thrall's left shoulder blade. "I'm getting you out of here." Diamond tells Emerald, stooping to pick up the girl. She lifts the wounded girl in a show of strength; carrying her down the lower edge of the horn. Emily stretches up and helps guide Emerald and Diamond down the horn to the ground below. The blonde places her back to the horn, sheltering Emerald in the nook of the horn. Emily crouches beside Diamond, remaining vigiliant. The smaller blonde holds a throwing knife in her hand, a well stocked pack upon her back. Silver rolled 8 dice to "Climbing to high ground" 2,1,8,4,6,1,10,3,4 (2 successes) Cade rolled 4 dice to "7-3 Brawl" 10,7,8,3,2 (2 successes) Diamond rolled 5 dice to "Lifting" 8,5,7,10,9,10,8 (5 successes) Silver rolled 5 dice to "Attacking Thrall - 2 defense, - 2 proximity of Cade" 9,3,5,8,3 (2 successes)

Klo gritted her teeth as she examined the chaos unravelling before her. She drew her sword and steadied herself, trying hard to find balance on the slick slope of the cornucopia. She advanced steadily, stalking like a hunter stalking their pray, towards Thrall's back side. She drew her breath before taking a leap and slicing a nice gash in the back of his right forearm. Klo slid down the slick cornucopia and under Thrall's arm to join her friends. She grinned triumphantly. [Klo Reivier rolled 7 dice to "Strength+Weaponry+WP" 3,6,4,3,9,5,2 (1 successes)/spoiler]

Thrall grinned, his lips pulled taunt as he drew back his bow. The wounds ached, yes, so many cuts and so much blood, but none of them was yet impeding him. These careers were dumber than they looked on TV. That was the real truth. You other two from twelve. I think I've done the best I can. Another blind one? I think so. Fairer now, isn't it?The pallid, dark haired boy drew the bow back as Klo moved away from him, and gave her a parting gift. Another arrow to the eye.

The arrow plunges into Klo's remaining eye, blinding her completely. The pain explodes, radiating in degrees of severity. Its all she can do to remain still and keep her balance on Cornocupia... Silver surveys the blood bath on the horn and makes the call. "Diamond, move out. Emily, get your ass over here!" He shouts down to the three girls on the ground. Silver evalautes Cade and Klo, his jaw working as he makes his choice. Diamond's eye's widen in surprise, but she doesn't question him. The blonde - still carrying the redhead in her arms- immediately begins to run for the south west. The smaller blonde steps up to the horn; awaiting her charge. "Klo, I got you." The larger tribute sweeps up the smaller girl in his arms, moving for the lower edge of the horn. He speaks to Cade as he passes him. "Cade, I'm coming for you." Silver carries Klo to the lowest edge of the horn, carefully lowering the blinded Klo into Emily's arms. "Okay, Emily's got you." Emily adjusts Klo in her arms and immediately departs after Diamond and Emerald. "My eyes...augh, it hurts..."Silver doesn't respond to Cade's groans, carrying the other boy to the edge of the horn and descending. He doesn't even look back to Thrall. Why give him another target... " Time to go." The little girl chirped to Klo as they moved away from the horn, following Diamond and Emerald. The six tributes are quitting the field of battle, moving to the green meadow. The wealth of Cornucopia suddenly stretches before Thrall and Kale. Would be conflict over the treasures that the horn contains; or would the two survivors come to an understanding?

Kale tried to mount the Cornucopia, but her limbs failed her and she slid back down before she could even get more than a couple of feet. The adrenaline was leaving her, too quickly and it left the girl feeling stupidly drained. She clenched her fingers into fists, feeling the twinge in each digit. She had expended too much energy taking out the damned dead Tribute.
Stupid! Kale berated herself savagely.
And then the Careers began to leave, and she rapidly stepped closer to the Cornucopia, back flat against the gigantic structure. They were injured; that much was damned easy to see - injured, and badly so.
That was at least advantageous. An inured foe was an easily killed foe, but how long might they be down for? It would be stupid to judge they were out of the running until the gongs sounded, and their pictures flashed into the Heavens for all to see.
Kale stepped away from the Cornucopia, once the Careers were past. She stared up at Thrall.
She did not have a bow. But she was standing amongst the packs of fun, necessary supplies. Kale didn't know what goodies were in all of them, but they were mighty tempting nonetheless.
"It'll take a while to shift all this stuff on your own. Two sets of hands are better than one," she called up calmly, as she wrung her bloodied hands.

Klo cried out as her hands found the arrow lodged in her eye. Her immediate thought was that she would never see ever again. She would never see her sharp knives and her own reflection. She would never see emerald's red hair or silver's smile. Anything. Klo let out a strangled scream as someone picked her up. "Klo I got you." the voice reassures. Silver. Her eyes are black. She feels the tears streaming. Silver lays Klo in someone's lap and they are off. "Kill him Silver! Kill him good!" Klo chokes out. Klo feels around for her knives and finds them slung over her shoulder. That his all she can hold into. After losing her sight she can only hold onto her knives.
