The Ark Games ~ Roleplay

@bunnyshadow Accepted, although I find it unreasonable for it to be able to use electricity, and can see in all directions. Can you edit it please? 😊

bunnyshadow • 12 May 2012 at 8:21 PM

@linpug Draquas can paralyze and they have 4 heads xD

linpug • 12 May 2012 at 8:32 PM

@bunnyshadow Oh 8D Yesh, I didn't read the description. x3 Thanks for clarifying that up! 😉 You can start the reaping if you would like.

bunnyshadow • 12 May 2012 at 8:37 PM

@linpug Each head has a name:
Selena, Sylvia, Zaylia and Cynthia. :]
For now I'll say they only have two heads then maybe evolve later xD
~~~
Sylvia electrocuted an small bug. Selena, listened carefully for the female reaping name. They picked out an paper that had a shaibun on it. Selena and Sylvia looked up simultaneously and yelled out. "I volunteer." Typical district one behaviour. They walked up to the stage and stood, waiting for the District 1 male to be chosen.

@bunnyshadow Actually It doesn't "Have a shaibun on it" 😉 It has a name on the paper, and the person who's name is on it must participate in the games. xD

linpug • 12 May 2012 at 8:47 PM

"May the odds ever be in your favor!"
Stupid Capitol people and their stupid accents.
The Onny reached inside the glass dome, and shuffled the strips of paper around, grasping for a name, while Koen held his breath.

~~Saving this space for the other person, if any. XD ~~

Not his sister.
Koen didn't know WHO had been called, but it wasn't his sister.
He could breath again.
His sister hadn't been called.
All was good.
"Koen Chisera!"
WHAT.
All heads turned to him, and he realized taht all the cameras had also. Somewhere in the crowd, he could hear a sob that sounded like his sister crying out in agony.
No...NO.
Just...no.
Shock, anger, downright maddening denial all flowed throughout Koen's body in those few seconds.
It wasn't possible...His name was only in there ONCE.
Once, out of hundreds...
The odds had not been in his favor at all.
Slowly, very slowly, he could feel his legs again.
Stiffly, he started to trudge to the poduim, feeling very much like a condemmed prisoner heading towards his hanging noose.
Koen never cried. Not when he got beaten by the Peacekeepers. Not when he watched as his own friends and family get beatened by the Peacekeepers.
And especially not at this moment, when he HAD to stay strong the most.
For the cameras.
And hsi sister.
Before he knew it, Koen was standing on the podium right by his Escort.
"The Tributes of District Nine everybody!"
'More like sacrifices.' Koen thought numly.

~*~Skipping boy tribute part~*~

Our mentor, Saliva Old, a Florn, sternly walks on stage. The camera is focused on her. She greets the audience then sits down to inspect me.I'm not at all what I had hoped for. She gives a sigh.

I know I mustn't cry, and try to keep strong so the audience doesn't underestimate me, but the tears come anyways. I try to look happy on the outside, and not let the tears show, but I'm sure everyone notices. I sit down and sulk, because I have nothing else to do before we go the the Capitol.

UPDATE~! We can go to the Capitol tomorrow!!! 😊

@snow_angel618 Thought I would ping you there! 8D

taffy789 • 13 May 2012 at 7:29 PM

@linpug
They can see their families, right? 😃

The rest of the filming was just a blur to Koen.
He did remember the mentor being a stern-looking Balrogipuwet, perhaps in his late thirties.
Koen would've remembered the older tributes name, if their meeting had been under any other circumstances.
Before he knew it, Koen was lead into a waiting room inside the Justice Building, where the mayor of District Nine lived.
The Chimera just sat on a cushioned bench that was postioned by the window, staring blankly at the square he'd just been standing in a few mintues ago, as if staring at the ground could turn back time.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a guard muttered, "You have five minutes.", and pushed in his family.
"Koen!"
His sister embraced him, sobbing wildly, and was shortly joined by his mother. Koen's father just simply stared quietly at his son, not saying a word, in as much despair and shock as Koen was.

@cynt51000 I find it a bit Power-playing she has so many talents, sorry. >.<

cynt5100 • 13 May 2012 at 10:11 PM

I woke up at dawn. It was the month of the harvest, so this time was usual for me. First, I thought all was well, untill I remembered. Today was the day of the reaping. Might as well sleep in.... While you can. I just couldent go back to sleep. Thoughts of My little brother Joday getting chosen. I couldent volunteer for him then. What if I got chosen? Even if those didn't happen, there was still the unsettling weeks to come. 23 dead, and I have to watch them.

linpug • 13 May 2012 at 10:12 PM

taffy789 • 13 May 2012 at 10:40 PM

-Continued-Goodbyes--

After that, there was the rushed, tearful goodbyes, his father shaking his hand, his mother hugging her son, both wishing him good luck.
Finally, his sister, Danielle, was left.
The Chimera quickly reached into her satchel at her side, and pulled out a red scarf.
"I had to run all the way back to the house to get this. You can take a token, right?...Remember when I wove this for you?...Good times..."
Koen nodded silently, still in deep shock.
"Yeah, Dani...I remember."
Dani met her brother's eyes once more. "I'm sorry this happened...I would've volunteered...But I couldn't, being a girl...I would've though. I'm sorry."
"Dani, it's okay-"
"Five mintues are up!"
Dani quickly embraced her brother, clutching tightly. "Win, okay? Try your best...But more than anything, don't let them control you!"
The Peacekeeper then pulled Dani off him, and lead her to the door.
"Bye, Koen! Don't forget us!"
And then she was gone, leaving Koen with just a red scarf in his paws.


@cynt5100 -Yah! 😃 Our mentor is appearently a Barlog, though you can probley make anothe rone. X3

linpug • 13 May 2012 at 10:47 PM

Soon I was saying goodbye to everyone I knew.
My sister, 20, was to old to volunteer.
The rushed goodbyes didn't help and soon I was going to be carried away, but one more person came. It was Arsha.
Arsha was my best friend forever, and I would have done anything for her.
She was here to give me something: a district token.
It was a neatly woven flower.
I hugged her and she put it on.
I loved it and told her it would be my token.
"You win no matter what? Deal?" She asks me, smiling, trying to hold back tears.
"Deal" I say.
Our time is up and Arsha has to go.
"Good bye!" I shout.
"We'll meet again soon."
Then we are yanked apart, and the door closes between us.
It's too much for me though, and I start to cry.

bunnyshadow • 13 May 2012 at 10:47 PM

@linpug a shaibuns name c: they volunteered.

cynt5100 • 13 May 2012 at 10:50 PM

My name was called. I was reaped. I was going to die. It was like I was punched in the chest. I was going to leave my dad and my brother, and never come back. Someone behind me grabbed onto me. I guess I stared to faint. "Where are you? Come on up!" Said the Onny in her silly accent. I smoothed my fur, and slowly started walking. There was no reason to push my way up. The crowed seperated for me. I climbed the stage, and the Onny asked for voulenteers. The only reasponse was the grain blowing in the wind. I stared at the grain. The plant I would never see again. My home. I remember seeing my house for the last time. The big garden and the grain field. The last time I'd see it. Then a chimera walked on stage. We were then taken into custody, as I saw my grain filed, my garden, and my home for the very last time.

linpug • 13 May 2012 at 10:53 PM

@bunnyshadow Ok xD That makes more sense. Typical district one behavior.

@balletninja Accepted. xD
Skills: Flying
Other: Hates to fly.

linpug • 14 May 2012 at 10:01 AM

@balletninja Ok 😊

cynt5100 • 14 May 2012 at 4:28 PM

I was led into a room. It took two seconds for my dad, brother, and cousin keil to come in. The all hugged me. I told them to remember to carry on. Keil can cook while I'm gone, and I told her were I keep the recipies. I told them how much grain would sell for what, and I told them about the back up cheese and meat if they hit hard times. I told them the best way to store food, and that you can trade for chicken eggs very cheaply. I reminded them to be safe, and I hugged them all. Joday said he brought me something. It was a strong woven bracelet, made from leftover grain from the our feild.
"Will you take it as yor token?" he asked, hopefully.
"Of course I will" I said and I kissed him on the head. "I love you all" and I pulled then into a group hug, kissing them all on the cheek. "I'll miss you."

Soon, they all wished me luck and they left.
