Sophia Naysmith--Age: 12--District 1--Items: District Token (ring), Water Purifier, Spear, Dagger, Throwing Axe, Brown Pack, Carved Bowl--Health: 10/10--Allies: The Careers
As I take my dagger back, having it landed in almost the exact same place and me being much further back, I notice three tributes; the girl from district 7, the girl from district 11, and.... A career? The boy from district 2 is running with them, not to us, but straight to the rocky wall of the canyon. I look at them, puzzled at what they could be possibly running away from at this early on in the games. My question, however, is answered very quickly. I see a shimmering brown mass at the forest line, I can't make out what the squirming animal is for a couple seconds, then I realize three things at once: They're squirrels, I need to get away, and they're eating everything. I fight down the panic and take the important supplies, like the water purifiers, the food and my weapons and put them at the top of the cornucopia horn before climbing onto it myself. The other careers with me will notice and bring the other important things up here too, unless they decide to make a run for the cave. The animals are coming in fast. I look to where the three ran, they managed to get to a cave in time. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad... Most of the squirrels are going for those three, not me. But there's so many of them, it'd be hard to miss me. They start climbing the cornucopia, they're good climbers. I defend the horn as best I can, they keep slipping on their own and knocking down the others, but some are making it up. I take my throwing axe and swipe at the sides of the horn, knocking the closest ones away. I do the same for the other side, and rotate between them. A couple make it up, but I get out my dagger and attempt to knock them down with my foot. One latched on and bit me. It was a hard bite, but I resist the pain. I stab the thing with my dagger and kick it away from me as I swipe some more squirrels with my axe. This is serious multi-tasking and I don't know how long I'll keep it up for. These better go away soon.
(( Damage for a squirrel bite? 1? None? ))
