The Hunger Games [alternate history]

The sprint for the axe was easy; what to do when she had it was not. There were screams all around as tributes killed and maimed, and Maele decided that there definitely wasn't time to screw around trying to pick too many things up. Right next to the axe was a tiny backpack, which she reached for, and across the pile she saw Matt use another axe to take out another tribute. Someone behind her yelled something, but it was lost in the rest of the noise.

Maele turned to get away, her path blocked only by a boy with a crossbow, who luckily was too focused on the girl from 4 to see her. Running hard, she sprinted away up the nearest sand dune, expected any moment to feel searing pain in her back; it didn't come. At the top of the dune, she lay on her stomach to get a look of the cornucopia, hoping to wait until it was empty, then go back to scavenge. She could also see not too far away that the girl from 4 had killed the crossbow boy, and was headed toward a thinly forested area, followed by Matt.

At the cornucopia, the fighting was almost done; but it didn't look like she'd be able to go back in any time soon; a group of tributes apparently working together were patrolling the area. She waited.

The axe might be her only chance - and she was fast, maybe she could make it. Maele did a quick check of the other tributes, and saw that across the circle, the boy from 4 (Matt, she remembered) had been looking at her. Was that a good thing; would he help her? Or did he see her as a threat, a rival? But the axe was close - she decided she had to at least try, because she could quite possibly be dead before the day ended anyway. Focus on that first, worry about the others later.

The numbers still counted down ... 4 ... 3 She lowered into a slight crouch, preparing to run.

Desert?! Maele blinked in the harsh light, struggling to hold back panic. Where could she possibly hide? Forget that, where could there possibly be water?! Surely the game-makers wouldn't let them all just thirst to death, how would that be entertaining? A few meters to her left was the boy from her district, and the other tributes were ringed around the cornucopia; supplies everywhere. Closest to her was an axe, something she hardly knew how to use; but it could be better than nothing...

And the voice was still counting down... 8, 7...

The Hunger Games [alternate history]

Name- Maele Cutter (pronounced "May-Lee", in case you're like me and like to know exactly how names are said in stories)
Age- 17
District- 5
Appearance-
Height- 5'10

Backstory- An only child, Maele only had two years to go before she was out of the Reaping for good. Her family wasn't wealthy, but they got by without her needing to take any Tesserae, so her name was in the ballot as few times as it could be. Which is probably why she was so shocked to be picked - this was something that happened to other kids, not her.

Skills- 5 is the power and electricity District, and Maele worked on the wind turbines, helping to keep them running, and fix any issues. As a result, she's a good tinkerer, and knows how to handle electrical circuits and wiring. The turbines weren't exactly close together, either, and she spent a good deal of her time running between them, so she's a strong runner with decent endurance.

That said, she's no fighter or hunter, as the arena is one of the last places she expected to end up. During the training days, Maele wants to learn something, anything useful, such as combat or trapping, and maybe form an alliance for the Games. Because she grew up without siblings, she gets a little anxious about new people, and especially now she's scared to trust anyone or give too much about herself away. Deep down, she hopes that maybe in the arena she can just get together what she needs and then go hide away, let everyone else just kill each other off, and not get involved. But even deeper, she's pretty sure she doesn't have a chance.

Ok, so does that mean you're not doing this one anymore then?

The Hunger Games [alternate history]

Sweet, I'll get to work on a CS, and have it up as soon as I can :)

The Hunger Games [alternate history]

Hey, totally interested, but I'm new to this, and I probably can't post every single day, so I thought I'd check if that was ok before commiting? Cheers!

Welcome to silent hill

Hey, I'm interested, but this is my first time doing anything like this, and I'm not likely to be able to post every single day, so I wanted to check and see if that's ok/find out how you run things, etc. Cheers!
