Sarkra Nightshade "Bean"

Age: 12
Gender: Male
Weaponry: A dozen large cactus spikes, about three inches long each and two rocks the size of a tennis balls.
Medicine: 1 bandage
Survival: 1 ten foot tarp
1 bottle of water
1 flashlight
1 plastic trash bag
Alliance: Minna.
Injuries: Twisted ankle (not too bad, should heal up in a day or two). Mild heatstroke.

Bean looked out across the desert that surrounded him and knew that he would need to get some sort of protection if he were to survive the first night. In the furthest ring from the cornucopia, he spotted a tarp, and decided it would be his first goal. When the countdown ended, that long minute that seemed to last forever, he made a dash for it. Probably one of the few things he had going for him was his speed. The larger tributes probably couldn't move as fast as him, since they had to move a lot more weight than his slim 85 lbs. And he was sprinting for his life. He scooped up the tarp as fast as he could, and turned around. Holding the folded mass behind him to cover his back from anything that might be thrown towards him. As he ran out in a zig-zag, another tactic to keep from being hit by projectiles, he managed to snag a water bottle, flashlight, and trash bag.

Once he was out of throwing range of the startign position, he slowed down to a distance running pace, knowing that he couldn't keep running at a sprint for long. He had taken off in the direction Minna had taken, though it had taken him longer to grab things than it had her. He spotted a cactus that had been cut open, but there were still a few needles left scattered on the ground, he picked out the biggest ones, about three inches long, hoping they could be used as some sort of weapon. He carefully wrapped 11 of them into the edge of his tarp, but kept the last one out to carry. He then shoved the tarp into the trash bag, as well as the flashlight and the water, which he didn't dare touch this early in the games. As a last minute thought, he picked up a few rocks that were sitting nearby, and tucked them into his trash bag as well. They could come in use too, since he could throw them at his enemies.

After his things were packed, he held the filled trash bag on his head with one hand, creating a sort of sunshade as he walked, not wanting to be in the sun for long. He had to find Minna, his only ally in this interminably hot arena. Despite his improvised sunshade, his vision was starting to spin from the heat. Thus his surprise when his ankle lodged itself in the top of a very large tunnel, and his confusion when he found that his mouth was full of dirt. The pain in his ankle was unbareable for him. He started crying, with his face in the dirt, and his ankle twisted in a hole, what chance could he possibly stand of survival. He was a twelve year old boy from district 12 for goodness sake, being reaped was a death sentence for certain and he knew it. He would have no sponsors and he was lying here in the dirt crying.

Bean grabbed the things listed above and ran. He found a cactus, where he got the only weapon-like things he has. He tripped in Minna's hole and is crying.

((I hope this works, tell me if I screwed anything up and I'll fix it. I have it a little earlier in the day, before the bats start coming out, because I would like to see what Minna's response is before continuing on with that.))

Max lies in the ditch when he wakes up from a bad dream. He springs up and looks outside, and sees bats starting to gather. ' I should get on a move ' He thinks to his self. ' They are probably afraid of me because I probably took out one of there leaders or something, do they even have leader?' He thinks as he takes out the 6 throwing knives than he looks at his knife. ' Its so dull ' He thinks as he rubs his finger on it. ' Cant even cut you.' Max puts the knife into the garbage bag with the rest, He has one knife with him just in case. Than he starts to move along looking back behind him to ensure that the bast aren't gonna sneak up on him. He keeps on walking and walking wishing that there could be somewhere were the bats will leave him alone. He doesnt know it but he is heading in the way of the cornucopia. As he is walking he drinks the rest of his water and the rest of the little rabbit.

Fawna was finding it hard to sleep. The desert was just too dangerous to sleep in, she needed somewhere safer. She looked over at the young serval cat creature she'd started to call Bengli, who sat off some five meters. It watched her closely and Fawna had the impression it was still deciding weather or not to eat her. It would be better if she had something to feed it but she didn't have any food. Her stomach growled to remind her of the fact and Bengli perked its ears, curious. Fawna decided she'd have to find food in the morning and a somewhere to get more water. Her water bottle wasn't going to last long, even though she'd been rationing it closely.
She knew there were suppose to be oasis out here, several actually but she hadn't been told where and even if she had, she didn't know where she was. She also knew that those oasis where going to be dangerous. There were spiders sure, but she could potentially stay away from the trees, but it was also one of the sure places in the arena for water. Creatures of all kinds were going to go there to drink. It would be safe to stay there but if she could get there in the middle of the day, most creatures would be sleeping and she could collect her water and be away before they rose to drink and feed. Her stomach growled again and Bengli echoed it. Fawna smiled, where there was water, there was bound to be food too. With that in mind, Fawna was able to close her eyes and doze for a while.

Taylor leaned up against the tarp, unwilling to sleep just yet. "Nick, it's not even eight-ish yet. I think we need to stay awake for a while." she ran her hands through her already tangled hair, smoothing it out as best as she could. "Aargh. I just want out already." She frowned an glared at her hands. "Do you know what's in here? Did you grab a flashlight or someth-" Taylor was cut off by a small pain in her ear. She winced, blinked three times, and rubbed it. "Eaugh. Missed a spot." Taylor squeezed it, remembering that sometimes—to get rid of venom or toxins—you have to squish the liquid from the wound. She felt a little bit of something drip onto her finger and she made a disgusted face. She wiped the liquid on her bottoms, ignoring how filthy she was already. "So, Nick. Are we leaving tomorrow?"

[ Sorry skīttles! ]

Minna heard crying from the other end of the tunnel, and crawled up there. When she got to the opening, she saw a foot sticking into a gap. Quickly, she pushed the rock off, not caring if it was an enemy or an ally. To her great relief, it was Bean! She helped him down into the tunnel, turned on her flashlight, and shut the opening again, taking care to leave no gaps this time. She then looked over him. Nothing but a twisted ankle. "You'll be fine. And you have no idea of how lonely I've been feeling without someone with me. You can help me with the digging of the tunnel as well, when you're better."

Nick looked over and shrugged "I have no idea. But we need to make the first move." He said, giving a little sigh. He had no plan, feeling a bit dizzy at the moment. He shook it off, though leaned heavily against the wall. "NnG... Let me rest for a bit..." he said suddenly, closing his eyes as he leaned agains the cold metal wall. He felt his eyelids getting heavier, his body beginning to feel numb and he felt incredibly nauseous. He tried to think of what could possibly be wrong when a wave of light headdedness stuck him, knocking away any rational thi king. One word made it past his chapped lips as he felt dizzied than ever. "Water." his frame slumped against the wall, head swimming with the effects of dehydration.

Sarkra Nightshade "Bean"

Age: 12
Gender: Male

Medicine: 1 bandage
Survival: 1 ten foot tarp
1 bottle of water
1 flashlight

"Uggg..." Bean moaned as he felt the rocks shifting around his feet. It was nearing dark now, and he could see small creatures flying around, though they were high above him. He thought they might be bats, but he wasn't certain. He gave a small yelp as his ankle was jostled and he was pulled into the tunnel. His head was spinning from the heat, even in the evening this arena was scorching. It didn't help Minna with the task of bringing him inside, since he thought some sort of deadly animal had grabbed him and was making a feeble attempt to struggle away. Eventually the girl over came him though and he gave up, letting himself be pulled inside. When what he thought was a creature started closing the opening again, he became even more confused, why not just eat him? Then it hit him, it wasn't a creature of the gamemakers, it was Minna! His only friend, and he had found her. On accident really, but still. He relaxed quite a bit with this, and started to fumble with the tied up top of his trash bag.

You'll be fine. And you have no idea of how lonely I've been feeling without someone with me. You can help me with the digging of the tunnel as well, when you're better.

Bean looked up as Minna spoke, and tried to pay attention, though really he just wanted his water. "Will you help me with this, I need my water. My head hurts, and I can't see straight..." He said, holding out the top of the large bag. He didn't want to be a burden like this, but he was fighting off exhaustion from the running, hunger from not having eaten anything, and the heat that was sapping all of his strength. He hoped that Minna would understand.

Bean was confused. He is trying to get the water out of his bag that he tied shut.

((For me. Please don't use it. It's my post format. If you want me to do you one similar, I would be glad to, but please ask, don't take this one.))
