Lorin was relieved that he seemed to be alone. As he had predicted, most of the other tributes had gone to the forest. Slowing to a walk, the district 3 tribute slowed to a walk. He still couldn't see anything special abount the location he picked, and nerves wormed in Lorin's stomach as he regretted the choice of not choosing a weapon. It didn't matter, he had to find water and food, then think about something to protect himself. Taking one last look behind him, Lorin was shocked to actually see someone there. Cursing his break in pace, Lorin startled again, quickly changing directions and sprinting northeast. It was almost to late before Lorin realized that the ground fell away into a gorge. Turning around again, he realized the tribute pursuing him had a bloody trident in his hand. This was not good. Lorin realized, turning to face the newcomer as he couldn't flee farther without falling off.

indentationBenji put a finger to his lips a signal to be completely quiet. Slowly he moved to see if he couldn't find the other two allies. Ben looked around from where he laid. Nope. He crawled slowly back into postion beside Juniper and shook his head slowly, hoping she knew what he meant.

Kipper Barwick⏵Farm Boy

indentationKipper heard a familar voice. Slowly he stood into a crouch. "Hailey?" He whispered yelled and slowly moved to find her. "Hailey?!" He called out a little louder. He needed to be as quiet as possible. He didn't have a weapon besides his hands. He finally found the girl. He stood completely. "There you are. Did you get anything?" He asked hoping to god at least one of them had a weapon.

Juniper watched as Benji slowly looked around, not sure if he was scouting for Raven and Melanie or possible threats. Either way, his look told her that there was no one around. Juniper fingered the blade of her dagger nervously, hearing the chatter of birds in the branches above her. She bolted to attention when she heard the sound of a branch snapping, and looked around to try to locate the sound's maker. Being from district 7, she was used to spying through thick foliage, even if she didn't have much experience with the lumber trade personally. Juniper spotted a figure slightly smaller than her clumsily making her way through the trees with a sword, and she assumed that she was the girl from district 5. Juniper turned to Benji and gestured to where the girl was.

hailey relaxed, relieved to see that kipper hadn't abandoned her. she shook her head. "no, but if you find me a sturdy y-shaped stick I can make a slingshot." she pulled the elastic out her hair, holding it up. "i knew there was a reason i insisted on keeping this." she chuckled at her own comment, but quickly stifled it. "um, i saw that you almost got those axes. i'm assuming you didn't grab anything else?"

the boy from three took off again as soon as he saw mason. mason hesitated a moment, debating. i could just use this moment to collect myself. no! lorin is an easy target! he has no weapon! he chased after the boy, slowing curiously when lorin suddenly stopped. mason's eyes widened as he realized there was a huge gorge. he looked at lorin, trident in hand. he prepared to throw the trident, ready to kill, but he looked at lorin's eyes. he saw fear. his conscience got the better of him. mason lowered the trident, then raised his other hand, in an act of peace. he was still about twenty feet from the other boy."you wanna team up?" he called out. "I hear you're good at building and crafting things."

Lorin was surprised when his pursuer stopped and asked for an alliance. Under normal circumstances, he would've just brushed Mason off and kept going, but the scales were tipped heavily against him, and if he declined it would mean certain death. He didn't trust the boy, what if he agreed just so Lorin would come closer and he would kill him? Taking one last moment to consider Lorin decided he had to take the risk. "I am." He said when Mason pointed out one of his biggest assets. How does he know so much about me? He glanced at the boy one more time before responding. "Alright. We can team up." Lorin said, searching the boys face for any sign that he might be misleading.

Daniel Hoover ~ District 1 ~ Male ~ Age 17

Daniel didn't hesitate once he rose up into the arena, his eyes narrowed in confidence as he patiently waited for the time to countdown...Once it did, he ran as quickly as he could to the Cornucopia, grabbing what he could. He was immediently challenged by Culler Fullgreen, and he attacked him with whatever he had. Rolling to the side, he dodged his knives and grabbed a spear, then launched it towards him, piercing Culler and killing him instantly. Taking a deep breath, he looked around to see if anyone else would challenge him, taking the spear back. The cannon went off, announcing Culler's death.

Melanie Lana ~ District 9 ~ Female ~ Age 13

Melanie couldn't believe her eyes once she saw her friend and fellow district member Culler be murdered with such ease by Daniel. She locked eyes with him, breathing heavily in fear, before making a run for it into the forest, crying out with so much fear. She stumbled and fell onto the ground, tripping over a log and crashing into some leaves. She shook rapidly, unsure of what to do now, or what she could really do. She slinked a bit back and started to cry, trying to keep it down so no one could hear her, though that wasn't easy.

Kyra Croft ~ District 6 ~ Female ~ Age 16

Kyra Croft meanwhile had already went into the forest, hiding amongst the leaves carefully and trying to find something to use to her advantage. All she had so far was a knife she had managed to retrieve from the Cornucopia, but nothing else, nothing less. She looked around, hearing other leaves crunching nearby. She decided to keep on moving, exhaling in exhaustion and fear.

xxxxxxxx𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐀𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅.

xxxxxxxxJennifer stopped dead in her tracks when she overheard the tiniest rustle of leaves. An animal or a human being? There were plenty of smaller, younger kids within the confines of the arena. Still, she wouldn't rule out the preferred latter. She contemplated staying and waiting or leaving, but she didn't exactly want to kill any children nor make allies. Sure, she didn't inherently like people but this? This sickened her. She'd let someone else handle it if it was a human. Jennifer took off then, her feet making contact with the group at rapid speed. She went in the same direction for some time then veered off to the left. When she felt she was far enough away, she stopped and held herself up against the trunk of a tree. Wiping the thin layer of sweat that had collected on her forehead the blonde licked her dry lips and kept moving. She could have sworn the gamemakers turned the heat up. Jennifer watched the ground carefully, waiting for dry terrain to give way to mud. Just as she was about to give in she heard and then saw a narrow stream, trickling its way through the forest. She forced herself to still and be patient in approaching, as the risk of other tributes or mutts was high. Each step was calculated until she was before it, and even then as she filled the canteen she had up she was looking over her shoulder, left to right, and even up ahead. It'd have to sit out in the sun now for at least six hours now.
xxxxxxxxUp in the tree meant too much foliage but out in the open meant exposure. She found a cranny and hid the water there, ensuring the sun was still capable of reaching it. Then, Jen scaled a tree not too far off that allowed her to keep an eye on the area without risking death. If only she could make herself cry.

Cassia watched as a girl was stabbed with a trident and a boy was stabbed with a spear. In training, Daniel, the tribute from district 1, had seemed to be one of the best. Like her, he seemed to have dedicated his life to the games. Cassia wasn't planning on confronting him just yet, as his size advantage over her could prove troublesome. Still thirsty for blood, and itching for a fight, Cassia looked for someone else to fight. Like a predator chasing prey, the sight of tributes running for the woods made her chase after them, choosing a short girl with brown hair. female. district 6. Cassia remembered the girl from training. If only she could catch up to her. As soon as she reached the woods Cassia knew it would be harder to find the other tribute, but there was a faint trail in the bushes that she followed. She paused for a moment before seeing the girl briefly in the woods and starting after her again.

Joshua held his breath as the girl stopped, and wanted desperately for her to leave, which thankfully, she did. Releasing his breath, Joshua moved through the bushes, already thirsty from the hot weather and from running. At least the trees offered shade, but the boy from 10 didn't find much solace in it.

Melanie Lana ~ District 9 ~ Female ~ Age 13

Melanie was startled hearing more noises and got up quickly, running again with fear in her eyes. She tried to find a place to hide, which seemed to be the only thing she really knew.

Kyra Croft ~ District 6 ~ Female ~ Age 16

Kyra Croft heard Cassia Stone and her eyes widened, but she didn't do anything too sudden. She knew that if she turned her back on her for too long, it wouldn't be a good ending. She inhaled deeply and let out a huff, looking towards her. Kyra had watched her all throughout training, so she knew that she wouldn't hesitate to kill her...She took a step back, knife in hand as she eyed Cassia from afar, ready to take her on if it was absolutely necessary. At the same time though, she didn't want to of course...Someone please help me escape this madness... She thought in her mind.

Cassia paused when the girl stopped. Had she stopped running? The district 2 tribute readied her sword and looked Kyra in the eye. She wasn’t afraid to kill other tributes, the more she killed the closer she was to winning. But there was a difference between just killing and killing for a purpose. She had to win sponsors in the Capitol. She had made an impression with the Capitol before the games began, but she had to prove that she was the tribute to invest in. Which meant she had to put on a show. Cassia slowly moved forward, ready to run if Kyra took off again. The girl had a knife, Cassia notes, as she kept her sword aimed towards the other tribute. She waited a few moments, dragging out the suspense, before rushing as Kyra with her weapon outstretched.
