74'th Hunger Games (Pony edition) RP

[Guest]

Twisted saw, how everypony was walking towards a door, or more specifically, throught a door in the side of the room opposite to him. He dropped the blowdart gun and followed the other tributes. He went through the door and saw a couple of benches on the right side of him. Two ponies were already sitting there. Twisted decide, that he was probably meant to sit down aswell and sat down next to the red pony. " Sup?" Twisted asked the red pony, not really meaning it as a question, but as a " hi ".

@@TwistedShadow,

Redstorm turned his head.

"Not much... what'ya going to show the gamemakers when it's your turn?"

Acid looked down.

"I'm going to get the lowest score..."

"And why's that?"

"Because anypony can jump..."

"But you can jump higher! Combine that with some kicks or jump over a target and then slash it! Spice it up, that's the point!"

He turned back to Twisted.

"Anyway... what you gonna show off?"

[Guest]

@@RedStorm,

Twisted chuckled a little. "I have no fucking clue. Im probably gonna do a little bit of knife combat, since im pretty good at that. But other than that.... Yeah only knives. Throwing knives and dagger type things. What are you gonna do? " Twisted asked the red pony.

[RedStorm 66]

@@TwistedShadow,

Redstorm thought for a second.

"I guess I'll show my skills with the bow... then speed. Just fly past the dummies and watch their heads fall from their shoulders..." He chuckled.

"I don't really give a damn about the score... the sponsors only send you stuff like matches and berries... I can see them being useful sometimes, but still."

[Guest]

Josh unsure of what to do with himself sheepishly walked towards Red Storm and TwistedShadow "hello anyone else as nervous as i am" he asked not sure which pony he was directing the question at "no idea what i should do so im gonna fail at this but ah well"

[LittleRawr 679]

Zephyr walked in the back of the group, quietly listening to the other ponies' conversation. He thought about what he was going to show to the gamemakers.

 

Well, probably my strenght and sword-fighting. That's basically the only things I'm actually good at. 

 

He looked at Josh, analyzing him. Probably won't last long in the games.

[Guest]

Josh looked around him at the other ponies and saw Zephyr

"hello" he said as he smiled widely at the other pony "good luck with the rating today i hope it goes well for you"

the smile on his face dropped slightly but not far as he thought of the horrors the games would soon bring

[LittleRawr 679]

@@Josh Riordan,

 

Zephyr chose not to reply, instead rolling his eyes and muttering something under his breath. He's way too happy. Guess that's gonna change pretty soon, heh. I'll probably won't kill him first, he's not going to be too big of a threat. Let him live for a while first.

Josh,s smile did not fall anymore as he did not want to be rude "not a talker? alright suit yourself just remember wilderness training though its always handy to survive in bad conditions haha well ill stop talking to ya since you don't seem all to chatty good luck"  

[Guest]

(( lets revive dis ))

 

Twisted looked at the blue pony trying to start a conversation with one of the other ponies. He didnt really seem to be able to do so, which didnt really surprise Twisted. Everyone was focused on themselves now, because this was one of the most important things to do after going into the arena and training. It was like on the cattle market. On the other side of the room he saw a mirrored window, which he assumed the jurors were sitting behind. His name was called. He shuttered, picked up some throwing knives and threw them in the general direction of the target. He felt like a machine doing this. His body went numb and he did the throwing and slicing as if he were in trance. Before he knew, what had just happened he was sitting on the bench again. He didnt remember, what he did, but he saw some throwing knives stuck directly in the hay targets and some "killed" mannequins. Apparently he actually did pretty good. He looked at the floor, still feeling slightly numb.

[Guest]

Josh awaited his turn bored as no one seemed to be talking to him "come on just let me get this over with " he said to himslef while pushing his head behind his hooves to hide himself away from the room he always felt better doing that as it stopped all the images

[LittleRawr 679]

Zephyr was feeling rather fidgety as well. He looked at his hooves, his face blank. What he was supposed to do in the arena was slowly starting to hit him. I'm supposed to kill ponies... Ponies who want to survive and go home, just like me. Soon enough, these will be a murderer's hooves. He shook his head. No, I'll find a way to win without killing anypony. I will find a way.

[RedStorm 66]

((After this, go on the plane that will take you to the tubes, which will take you to the arena :3))

Redstorm heard his name.

"I'll bet you 50 bits that I'll beat you in score." He quickly muttered to Zephyr and walked out of the room.

He saw the gamemakers sitting on the balcony, enjoying their food. One of them saw Redstorm coming and told the otehrs. Soon, Red had their full attention.

Redstorm took a deep breath and walked over to the blades. There were mannequins everywhere.

He started running, which became flying. He "killed" some of the mannequins while flying at his top speed. After he was finished, he looked at the gamemakers. Some of them were clapping.

"Yess..." Red muttered and walked over to the bow.

He shot an arrow. And another. And another. One of them was in the middle, two of them were close to it.

The gamemakers thought for a second, then suddenly, Redstorm's score appeared on the wall. He scored a nine out of ten.

"Yes!" Red exclaimed happily.

He was taken onto a plane by another worker.

Red knew it was time for the games soon. His mood fell. A lot.

 

Acid's name came up. He walked out of the room to see some of the gamemakers chuckling.

*They think that I'm bad...*

Acid grabbed a tomahawk and walked over to the mannequin.

He stared at it for a second. Suddenly, he jumped over it, hitting his axe in the mannequins head while mid-air.

The gamemakers gave him a "not bad" look. Acid looked at the wall. His score was five out of ten.

Acid sighed happily and soon, joined Redstorm on the plane.

"So? How'd you do?"

"A five out of ten... I did what you suggested. What did you get?"

"A nine... I guess that's good."

[LittleRawr 679]

"I'll bet you 50 bits that I'll beat you in score." He quickly muttered to Zephyr and walked out of the room.

 

Zephyr rolled his eyes. Yeah, right. He can't be that good...

 

When Redstorm walked out happy, Zephyr cracked his neck. He would probably be next, after the little kid. When the kid had left to go to the plane, Zephyr's name was called.

 

He walked in slowly, seeming a little shy to the gamemakers. Spotting two swords, he quickly grabbed them and eyed the mannequins. There was a huge one, which had been specially reinforced. With a blank face, he easily impaled at several points and then sliced it's head off. Then in quick succession, he bucked the heads off the others with great speed.

 

After some chatting, the score floated in front of Zephyr. A nine. He smiled, the exited the room and was escorted to the plane.

@@LittleRawr,

Redstorm saw Zephyr coming in.

"So? What did you get? Thought for a second, that betting 50 bits on who gets the highest score against a stallion who can hold two greatswords was a bad idea... after I got the highest score. Possibly. Anyways what did you score?"

He tried to keep his mood up as much as possible.

[LittleRawr 679]

@@RedStorm,

 

" Nine. Guess we're even." Zephyr's reply was short. He sat opposite of Redstorm. " Are you planning to survive, or just go berserk and kill everypony you can? " 

 

I need to know who's going to be a threat. Although, everypony's a threat. Well, I need to know who's more of a threat.

[Guest]

Twisted noticed, how the ones, that were done with the "test" were walking towards a huge airplane. He broke out of his trance and followed the arrows on the ground that had suddenly appeared before him. There were already two ponies sitting on opposite sides of the plane * Uh Oh!  they are either rivals or allies.* He was however not really surprised at relations between all the ponies forming allready. He took a free seat on the very tail of the plane and looked out the open cargo bay they had just walked up.

[RedStorm 66]

@@LittleRawr,

 

Redstorm smirked.

"Well.. if I see you then I'll definetly run. You'll see what I'll do when we get there. Good luck by the way."

Redstorm looked at the other ponies that came in. Some of them were already allies. He spotted a group of three that marched past them. One of them saw Red looking at them.

"What'ya looking at?"

"Isn't that obvious? You have eyes, don't you?"

"I do. The question is, do you have a brain?"

"What the hell is your problem?"

Redstorm stood up.

"Ooh! A tough guy!"

One of the guards stepped up to him.

"You're the first one that I'm killing!" He yelled as the guard dragged him away. His two friends walked after him, frowning at Redstorm

Red sat down.

"Jackass..." He muttered.

[LittleRawr 679]

@@RedStorm,

 

" Those are probably the careers, huh? Bunch of snobs." Zephyr muttered, just loud enough for Redstorm to hear. " You better stay away from them, they are usually the ones who kill the most. But, you probably already know that."

 

I'll have to stay away from them for sure. I don't want to get killed early in the game. 

[SixNine 4]

Sparky walks past the pony that's being dragged away by the guards and goes over to sit next to Redstorm and decides to strike up a conversation with him by saying "What happened with Mr. Angry over there?"

Might as well try to make some friends while I still can.

"Him? I don't know. Snob..."

Redstorm's heart started pummeling as the plane finally took off with the 15 tributes.

After a while, the big piece of metal landed. A guard escorted every single pony to their tubes.

Redstorm was trying to calm himself.

"Okay... just grab and run... they can't catch you. It's just a game! Literally!"

Acid in the meantime was crying. The guards still managed to get him to his tube.

The tributes were finally standing on the platforms. Infront of them were a ton of supplies. Behind them was the forest.

Suddenly, above the cornucopia, a giant countdown started.

Redstorm didn't think. He just flew across the bags of goodies, grabbing one of them. He quickly then ran to the cornucopia for a weapon. The weapon that he got was a shortsword.

After that, he headed to the forest, hearing screams and punches around him as he flew.

After some time, he stopped flying to catch his breath. He didn't hear anything suspicious as well. Red sat down and looked inside the bag.

"Matches... bottle..."

He tried to drink from it.

"Empty... damnit. A blanket... ooh! Cookies!"

Redstorm grabbed the bag of cookies and ate one.

*Gotta find a water source...*

He packed the things back inside and continued walking.

 

Acid in the meantime, had ran into the forest as the countdown ended. He already found himself a cave, where he planned to camp.

Now, the small colt was looking for food and water.

[Guest]

Josh hearing the.countdown grew nervous "oh no hear we go" the second he expulsion he spread his wings and sticking close tlk the ground flew into the forest after grabbing the nearest backpack. " this will do now I can hide " Josh climbed a tree but managed to clip one of his wings in the process

He checked the bag one knife

@@RedStorm,

 

As soon as the countdown reached 1, Zephyr had grabbed a bag and was already in the forest. He ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding in his chest.

 

After running for a while, he climbed a tree and checked his bag. There was a pack of biscuits, rope, plastic sheet and a switchblade. I need water... Food's not important. Yet. Climbing down, he trekked for a few kilometers and made it to a creek, which had a cave not too far as well. Perfect. Zephyr crawled into the cave. It was dark, so it was hard to see anypony.

[Guest]

The counter said 0 and Twisted flew as fast as he could towards the big pile of saddlebags. He saw a red pony next to him doing the same. He aimed at a medium sized one and a belt of throwing knives. He swung down, grabbed the backback and the belt of knives and dashed into the forest. After he flew for roughly 10 minutes at extreme speeds he stopped and listened. Nothing, except for some birds. * good * He mounted the belt onto himself *better arm myself first* and opened his saddlebag. He found a first aid kit, a metal bowl, a full canteen, some matches and a blanket. He opened the first aid kit and revealed some of the standard items, that were in these kinds of kits. He would be able to treat both small to medium sized wounds. There were also some glass tubes and a small pocket stove for desinfecting the scalpell. On the knive belt there were 6 throwing knives and 2 smaller daggers. Suddenly he noticed a stingin pain in his left hind hoof. He inspected it and noticed a cut. * Dammit. i probably got that while picking up the knives* he desinfected it, put compress on it and secured it with some bandaging materials. *heh. that first aid kit is handy already. Even though my current canteen is full it would still be good to know, where to get more water.* He started walking and immidiately stumbled and fell. He faceplanted into the ground, immidiately jumped up and licked his mouth. It tasted salty. He ran his hoof across his face to see, if the taste came from blood running down his face, but his hooves werent red. He licked the ground. He tasted something salty. *So thats where the salty flavour came from* He dropped on the ground and searched. Soon he had found what he had searched for * Jackpot* he thought as he smiled to himself.

Redstorm found a small creek.

"Finally..."

He got out his bottle and filled it with cold water.

Something cathced his eye. A small cave.

"Water and shelter... the only thing I need now is food!" He thought out loud.

Redstorm wandered into the cave.

*Dark, dark, dark...*

He bumped into somepony, got scared and immiedatily backed off outside.

"Alright, come out! I ain't afraid!" He exclaimed, a bit of a fear against the unknown pony who was inside.
