Day 1
Boze's POV (district 5)
I sprint into the woods after Olivia and I almost had a face off. I almost pulled a knife on her man, I was so scared. At least I have this backpack. I whip the backpack around me and set it on the floor in front of me, opening it to inspect what I got.
Nothing. It's empty. I almost pulled a knife on someone for an empty backpack.
I need to make an alliance. Look, theres some people. I sprint to them.
Anthony's POV (district 1)
I run my hands through my hair. Jesus Christ. I'm not going to kill anybody. Right? No. You have to. It'll be fun... Right?
Am I sane?
Keith's POV (district 9)
I sprint through the forest with my sickle clutched in my hand. Dodging trees. Bushes. Rocks. Basically anything. I hear a giant rustle from a nearby bush and I freeze. Just then, 4 people step out of the bush. I start to walk away, but I hear a voice. "Hey! You!" It screams. I pause and turn around, sickle in front of me.
"Yo, man, put it away." The familliar voice says.
"Flitz!" I sigh. "You scared me." He smiles. "I'm a pacifist, theres no need to be scared." He reasurres me. "Do you want to join my alliance?" He asks me.
I look behind him to see Mari, Boze, and Olivia. "It'll be a pretty big alliance." I say, scratching my head. "Yeah, but it's not permanent." He says. "Oh?" What? They might have to turn on me later. "We're just helping each other get supplies and neccesities until were all ready to get settled. Some groups might stay." He explains.
"Deal." I say, shaking his hand. "Great! Now let's see if anyone else needs help." He says, and we start walking.
Sohinki's POV (district 4)
I've made an alliance with Damien and Whitney. Me and Damien are solid, but Whitney is sketchy, man.
Shes not talkative, and she only says 'sure' and 'whatever'. Right now she's by herself picking berries. I look to Damien. "I don't trust her." I say. "Me neither, but we're stronger in numbers for now. We can ditch and or kill her later on." He shrugs. "Maybe she'll leave on her own." I suggest.
"Ow! Goddammit." We hear her yell. I share a look with Damien and we shoot up to look for her. "Whitney? Are you ok?" I shout. "Where are you?" Damien yells.
We find Whitney looking at a decent sized cut on her finger. "What happened?" She said. "We heard you scream, so we came to see if you were ok... Are you ok?" Damien says. "Why would you care? It's just a stupid little cut! And we don't have an alliance anyways!" She says in a defensive voice. "I thought we had an alliance..." I say. "Look, you helped me once. So, I won't kill you until at day 3 at most. But, I'm fine. I just got cut by a thorn." She says, in a slightly gentler tone. "Ok, but if you need help, you can come to us at any time." Damien says. "I can handle myself." She glared at us, "I never said you couldn't han-" Damien's cut off as she sprints away.
"Well then." I say. "I say it's safer to see if we can make a truce with anyone, or whatever." He suggests. "Maybe another alliance member." I add.
We set off, trekking north.
Wes's POV (district 8)
I can't believe I have an alliance. Like; I didn't think anyone would want me on their alliance. Who am I kidding, I'm tall, buff, and have skills with weapons and hunting. Everyone wanted me.
My alliance is with Shayne, Noah, Lynne, and Ian. Pretty good if I do say so myself. Shayne is strong and intimidating. Noah's got brains and he's good at strategizing. Lynne's really fast and agile, and Ian's good with plants and traps. We'll stay until only one of us is left. Or none. We will and are working hard to keep each other safe.
We see a suspicious bush. There's an indent in it. "So, am I the only one who sees that weird ass bush?" Lynne asks. "No, I see it too." Shayne says. "Me and Wes will go check it out." Ian says. I nod. "Why not me?" Shayne says. "An armed person might be in there." Ian laughs "That's why I have Wes. And I'm going because there might be food in it." He explains. "Noah, any plans?" Lynne asks. "I say to be very quiet. Wes first, because he has weapons, and if there is someone in there stay quiet." He pauses and thinks, "and if there's a person in there and food on the bush, wave and we'll send Lynne over. She has an empty backpack, and she'll be able to sprint away if anything happens." Noah plans.
"Ok, got it brainy." I tease, which makes Shayne laugh. Then Ian elbows me. I look over and he has is finger pressed to his lip and he makes an audible 'ssh' noise. "They'll hear us!" He hisses. Everyone nods, and me and Ian start to creep over. We're crouched over, and my back aches. We're moving so slowly and carefully that I'm bent over so that nobody could see me over the bush. I need to be free from the back pain. I'm to tall for this! I stand up for a second and I'm greeted by a smack to the head from a tree branch. Ian ships around, fuming, but also at the same time trying to hold in laughter, signals for me to be quiet and crouch back down. Well, I was painless while it lasted.
We creep closer until we're super close to the opening. Then I remember Noah's plan and how I'm supposed to be in front of Ian instead of behind him. I scurry to be in front of him and I pull out my knife. I slowly peek over the edge. I see Finn sleeping. Well, that was anticlimactic. Ian gasps while looking at some fruit. "These are edible! Yes!" He whispers as he waves Lynne over. We pick nearly all of the berries until Finn turns. We all sprint away.
We're laughing and all sprinting to find a camp far from here just in case Finn wakes up.
Lasercorn's POV (district 5)
I'm alone. I realize, walking near a river. I look across it and see Sydney trying to spear fish with her trident. It doesn't work out. I walk farther, looking at surrounding bushes for food.
Just then I trip. I stand back up quickly to see 5 backpacks, in a group. This is great! These idiot people left their supplies alone. Wait. They probably are going to be back soon. I'll see what I can scavenge. I bend down to open one and I hear a scream. "Hey! Don't touch our stuff!" A female voice says. Mari.
I sprint away and am dodging the many low tree branches and roots. I look back to see that she's on my tail, but then I trip. I faceplant into the ground, and I look to see what was caught around my foot. A goddamn root. Mari stops in front of me, and I try to get up. She steps on my back, pushing me to the ground. "You thought you could steal from us, huh? Not on my watch!" She says. I stay quiet. "Your lucky I don't have a weapon on me. But don't do it again, or next time you'll be dead. Mark. My. Words." She says. She then spits on my face and walks away.
Eww... I think as I wipe off the spit. I go to stand up but feel a sharp pain in my foot. Shit. My ankle is sprained. That's just great.
Keirsten's POV (district 6)
Well, I'm screwed. No food. No supplies. All I have is this big ass trident. As I'm hauling that around I hear something. I turn around and there's a backpack. It's from a sponsor! I hurry and open it to see a hatchet. This is better than this trident! But I'm still keeping it.
I put the hatchet back in the bag and sling it over my shoulder. I continue dragging the trident and searching for food.
Joven's POV (district 3)
I have an alliance with Kane. We decided to split up to search for resources, and I'm by myself. In a forest. During the hunger games. What could go wro- an arrow flies in front of my face.
I see a target carved into the tree it hit, and I look over to see Lula practicing archery. She looks scared, but then she glares. I shrug and walk away. When I'm a ways away I hear hammering, and I see Adelaide and Maria constructing a shack.
"Maria!" I call out to my district member. "Oh, hi Joven!" She greets. I get a dirty look from Adelaide, but I reassure her. "I'm just here to ask Maria a question." I turn to her and ask, "any supplies to share?"
She stops and thinks for a second, pulls out her backpack and gives me 3 oranges, a knife and some rope. "Thanks!" I say, packing it into my backpack. "Don't mention it." She smiles.
I wave and walk away. This was only the first day, and I was doing so well.
A/N: well, I procrastinated all day doing this, mostly because I've recently fallen ill, (aka I have a bad cold) and I have been busy with school all week. Sorry this is late.
Dead so far:
Courtney Miller (district 2)
Well. Rip Courtney. Also, just a reminder that I didn't plan this, it's all generated from a simulator. Also I was totally listening to the Hamilton (preach ❤️❤️❤️) soundtrack while I was writing this.
