[Isles de Taylor]

At 16:31, The Male Odrin tribute, Dan Niklas was killed in a confrontation with the Female Dominion of Compassion tribute, Lumiya Smith. They were fighting over supplies in the centric hut and Lumiya got her bow & arrow and shot Dan in the shoulder. He did hit her in the ankle with his hatchet, but, Lumiya grabbed the hatchet and bludgeoned him to death.

At 16:35, Ater Nox lost their female tribute, Mable Jenkins. She was killed by a shot in the head from Free Guns For All's Ruby Hawkeye's gun.

As of 9 minutes into the games, 14 tributes still remain.

[Isles de Taylor]

Another death.
Sniper Suzan of Lucian was killed by a rust wolf, a genius genetically modified animal created by The Changeling Horde. The time of death was 19:42.

[Isles de Taylor]

Yet another death.

At 20:41, a Rust Wolf claimed another two tributes. It was after William Webber of Dominion of Compassion. However, Sneaky Susan of Kortexia got in the way. She stabbed Webber and he was severely injured, but, the Rust Wolf claimed Sneaky Susan's life. Webber was seconds later attacked by the same Rust Wolf and killed.

11 tributes remain.

[The Changeling Horde]

*the changeling queen looks at the digital map and watches the tributes die with a smirk*

It seems they do not get the hint...

*the sky lights up and the changeling queen apears to give the tributes a little speech and advise...*

Hello everyone I have yet to speak with you all...I am sorry I had not introduced myself in full, for I am high queen chrysalis of the changeling horde...you may refer to me however you wish as I will be watching your short lives for entertainment. Understand this you keep me entertained and I might be generous for my tastes...you bore me however...well I might just have to entertain myself, and from where I and my friend are we certainly have the recources to make your lives very...

*the queen tries to remember the kids are watching*

Unpleasant...

*she then notices the recent deaths*

I am certain you all have noticed my little pets, I call them rust wolves...not really like wolves as you can tell from their strange jaws and copper wire like "fur" but understand they are interesting because of their diet...

*the queen acts faux embarrassed*

Oh did I just give a hint to survive I am in a rather generous mood today. She remarks.

*her eyes light up towards the control panel in front of her*


ooo what does this blue button do. She says in a very condescending tone before pressing it.

*the 4 colored smoke plumes apear in each cardinal direction on the island*

Silly me I just triggered a few supply drops with who knows what...o well I guess I will have to put some more effort into making your lives hell. She laughs as if that statement was a joke.

*she then lifts her cup of tea to the tributes*

Tata. She says in a sing song voice before cutting out.

*the queen looks at Isles de Taylor , with a face that just says Really?*

Isles de Taylor ,I think we need to talk in private for a moment.

[Dominion of Compassion]

What a riveting game. This is turning out to be a great first hunger games!

[Free Guns For All]

Indeed. I killed someone.

[Ater Nox]

Yeah, a sweet old lady.

[Randomain]

Sounds like Gunny alright

[Free Guns For All]

Yeah, exactly. You make it sound like I don't do this on a daily basis.

[The Changeling Horde]

*lethal luger of trudged through the marshy south to reach the green smoke plume nearly a mile away, the ominous swamp was filled with the sounds of strange birds and beasts but he was not afraid dagger in hand.

I swear why did they have to include a bloody swamp...I mean they could have did a ruined city or a abandoned village or....

*he was cut off by a loud bang as he dropped to the ground in pain swearing a ton before a figure seemed to apear out of the fog*

#@/&*. He coughed on his own blood as he then dragged himself to a tree to set himself to see his attacker.

*as the figure aproached him he gave a big @#*/ eating grin seeing Ruby Hawkeye of Free Guns For All, flintlock in hand aproach him*

So here I am taken out by the #!#@ from that backwards #*&#hole of a nation. He laughs under his breath.

*she then loads her last shot into the primitive firearm before moving closer*

I want what you have in the bag, give it to me and I might forget we had even met here...

Yeah you could have done all that without shooting at me @$#*& I swear what is it with you gunnians and shooting first rather than asking questions...

*Ruby Hawkeye's brow twitches a little*

I mean really is it because your people are just terrible at socializing or negotiating with anyone that is not packing the heat, is it a societal superiority complex...

*Hawkeye looks not in the mood for this*

Or perhaps it is the only way you @$# people get of..

*a loud bang cuts him off as his brains splatter against the moldy wood and his body slumps over a side of his face buried in the muck as Hawkeye stands above the body smoking gun in hand breathing heavily*

!&#$!ing /&#$. She says before searching his gear finding a whetstone and a days worth of water as the food was ruined by the swamp water.

*she prys the dagger out of the dead tributes hands before moving off towards the green smoke plume*

At 8:12 the tribute lethal luger was executed by Ruby Hawkeye of Free Guns For All.

*Touka of @mindsweep was heading eastward into the tropical grotto towards the red supply drop, the seabreeze seemed to be cool on her sunburnt skin as they walked the tropical beach, her target layed on a nearby isle illuminating the trees red as smoke lifted into the air. She was cautious looking to see of any others were watching from the treeline.

I think I might just get away with this. He said with a hint of hope.

* she stayed low to the ground and walked the shallow sandbar to reach the drop half a mile away, however the water soon rised from her knees to her shoulders as she tried to quickly wade his way through in the dark.*

I wonder what can be inside, red is typically the color of weapons or gear in the video games she used to play back at home, for all my luck it could be AK or a sniper rifle or even a Flamethrower...man she would be awesome with a flamethrower I mean who would want to mess with the girl who quite literally could ruin your day with a FWOOSH...yeah that would be awe...

*she was unable to finish that thought however as something slammed into her leg causing her to be pushed into deeper water, she then panic and began to swim as fast as she could to the Isle screaming at the top of her lungs. But it was futile as she felt something huge bump into her leg, her pleas for help were silenced as she was pulled under water by something unseen...something terrifying.

At 14:30 touka kirishama of mindsweep encountered leviathan.

*the sky lit up again as the queen looked a bit anoyed on camera*

Day 2 into the hunger games, and I am nearly ready to scream at how disappointed I am with you all...I have had a lack of participation from you all to make this as effective of entertainment as possible...you have not disclosed your survival plans to the viewers, shared your thoughts, hell just took a moment to describe what your doing...how can I get attached to any of you when you just do nothing for me to remain interested in you all and offer you anything...

*she then breaks a ornate vase behind her to vent a bit*

This is my last warning to you all if you do not play the part you will wish that you were dead after I take the time to make sure you suffer. She says sadisticly face uncomfortablely close to the camera.

*she then takes a minute to regain her composure*

I think it is time to educate you all on the island we have had you trapped on...

*a map apears across the sky*

To the north is some thick tall woods perfect for hiding in and filled with all sorts of food and goodies, a little creek is here with fresh water pooling into a lake basin perfect for drinking or hunting by. The queen says in a cheerful voice.

*the map then shifts to the west side of the island*

To the west you have the craggy mountains of rebenraku thar offer a great view of the entire island along with some relaxing hotsprings that superstition states could heal wounds to those who are worthy, besides this the environment is poor as little drinking water besides the snow topped peaks allows barely any life to flourish.

*the map pans south*

To the south lies what I call the bog for in truth it is a miserable misty place many have gotten lost in, the swamp has all kinds of sprites both good and bad as it is home to a number of rare and useful plants and animals that to the smart survivor could be used to do anything from create a burn resistant balm to a toxin that causes vivid hallucinations...however don't assume you are safe because a number of deadly predators lurk inside it, I won't spoil what but just understand not being on your guard will be a bad time...

*the camera then pans east quickly*

To the east lies the lovely tropical tidal grotto filled with small islands conected by shallows and sandbars, you certainly can get your fill here as tidal pools offer the freshest of sea food at low tide, trees on the island have fresh fruits, and the farther off islands offer the best fishing on the islands...oh I almost nearly forgot to mention that you probably don't want to be caught in the water at high tide...for reasons.

*the camera then returns to the center of the island*

And at the center is where the games began and where currently the untouched hut of supplies lay because you were all a bunch of cowards and ran away from it...you could have been brave and tried busting through the door and taking the supplies but who would do that?

*the camera then pans out to get a full view on the island*

This ends the days lesson to your Doom stay alive to hear about the caves,ruins,wreckage,fauna,flora,and traps in the next few days. The last bit is quickly sped up.

*the queen then waves to the tributes*

Ciao. She signs off the brodcast.

[Isles de Taylor]

Thank you, The Changeling Horde. Now, let's hear from our second sponsors, Victory Airlines.

Victory Airlines is a proud sponsor of the Taco Island Hunger Games, and we are now offering discounts! A flight to Hræviyát International Airport is now $131 one-way from the major cities of Isles de Taylor's friends. If you want to fly to Hræviyát, fly Victory Airlines.

Thank you, Victory Airlines! Now, let's continue the brutality!

[The Mindsweep]

I knew Touka was gonna die first.

[Dominion of Compassion]

*sips tea and watches from viewing room*

[Free Guns For All]

Isn't murderising people such fun? Go, my adorable little psychopath.

[Kortexia]

I'm surprised that Sneaky Susan got wrecked by that wolf. (I blame Dominion of Compassion ) She was used to fighting the Tigers that natively inhabit Kortexia, as well as being one of the only people to solo kill a Dire Tiger using only bladed weapons. (She had to cut herself out of its stomach). Danny Dangerous has a little flair for attention so I wouldnt be surprised if he did something showy to try and impress the Queen.

[Isles de Taylor]

Queen Chrysalis V and myself, King Taylorian XV, are very hard to impress.

[Nate NBNS]

Well at last some entertainment value for the taco!   Go Ruby and Samus!  Strange, I thought knitting needles would have had more impact...  Makes self comfortable in Isle de Taylor fan area with a cocktail of alcool and fusil oil.  Yeah team!

[The Mindsweep]

Anyone else dead yet?

[Isles de Taylor]

Update coming tonight.

[The Changeling Horde]

*Isabella had felt safe up in her perch high in the mountains to the west, she even got to the supplies dropped up there getting herself a nice bolt action rifle with 1 full clip of 8 rounds with a telescopic sight so she could watch from a distance and pick off anyone coming her way...she had found enough food and water to last a few days before she would have to go "hunting"...*

*she spent her time for days Watching eating and waiting for the gamemakers to screw her over but the only sound she heard was the windy mountains...it was her last however as in less time than se could possibly react she was decapitated*

*as her head rolled slowly down the hill she saw her killer old man Jenkins of Ater Nox, kukri in hand covered in her blood behind her limp blood spurting body...she felt so cold in the snow*

*the screen lights up and the queen is unhinged*

You hAve failed me for the las time...as such I think action must be taken as punishment for not playing your roles. She growls.

*she then lifts to the camera a vial filled with a blood red substance *

See this what I call blood alge I have modified it in such a way that it contaminates all fresh water that comes into contact with it, it is toxic causing hslucinations in low concentrations and cranial hemorrhages in high concentrations, it can be taken in through drinking contaminated water or by consuming animals who have came into contact with the alge. It kills off all aquatic life as well in fresh water...

*the queen loads the cartridge into the nearby console before pressing a big red button, after this the air seems to turn red as a fine red powder seems to rain over the island...

From this point forward finding fresh food and water is going to be a lot more difficult...This is what happens when you do not bloody attempt to roleplay to the audience...you have lost my favor and worth in my eyes...you are less than animals in my eyes, as such I am going to make you all die a painful death.

*she then looks toward the island*

I will give you all a chance of redemption however...

*she then presses another button and the screen shows the hut at the center of the island colspse as a shrine in perfect image of the queen rises with a obsidian bowl in her hands*

I will end this madness if you all can sacrifice 3 tributes in my name, ripping out their hearts and placing them into this bowl. The queen explains all the tributes their task.

*she then sighs before yawning and turning the feed off*

[The Mindsweep]

How many buttons are there?

[Free Guns For All]

And what would happen if you pressed every single one at the same time?

[The Changeling Horde]

*Robin Barton of Free Guns For All, had stumbled through the woods his face flushed red screaming of all sorts of crazy things such as the woods having voices, shadows creeping in the dark, and visions of all sorts of horrible things...he had lost his bow trying to flee the demons that haunted his mind*

MAKE THEM STOP! He shouts clenching his head while hitting random objects.

* the screen turns on and he stares at the projection, in his eyes it is a goddess who sings sweet songs that dulls the pain in his head*

I want you all to make me happy, I need to have by bloodlust sated...3 hearts of your fellow man should quench my desires and regain my love, but I m willing to make a deal with my chosen...I demand 2 hearts 1 from a tribute and another of a virgin tribute placed on the ornate bowl by dawn. Her heavenly voice seemed to put him at ease.

*his brain then jumped in its crazed stupor at the thought that he could make someone as beautiful and kind as her happy, certainly it was his job to make sure her wishes were granted.*

She will help me, I must bring her hearts. He said in a broken and demented tone.

*while he had thought he had missed a large portion of the brodcast but did not care as he had been given a important mission to appease this lady of the sky in effort to cure his ills.

*the night carried on with him searching for tributes to sacrafice, but tragically (at the least to him) he could not find anyone...at least until he saw a few embers in the dark.*

*Danny dangerous had fallen asleep that night thinking he was safe in his hiding place In one of the many caves, he had missed home and a crush he planed to woo back home...he would never get this opportunity however*

He only awoke as pain ripped through hI'm as he rested on a table in a clearing as some foreign body was reaching into his innards for something...

(Blood curdling screams)

*he would struggle and convulsed as the figure loomed over him digging literally at his insides, there was a pressure and a pull however before he saw the elbow deep arm pull out his still beating heart, this was the end of Danny as he went unconscious from the shock of having his heart torn from him.*

Pretty lady will love this beautiful crimson ball.he says before placing it into the dish.

*it was almost dawn though and he had yet brought his mistress the heart of another...he could not disappoint her again...he knew the only option*

I must give her what she desires. He says mechanically.

*he then plunges his survival knife through his chest gashing his chest open enough to rip out the heart that belonged to her and only her...as his brain process his last thoughts , he feels warm and content the voices silenced.

[Free Guns For All]

Huh, and here I thought Ruby was insane.

[Kortexia]

What? Danny Dangerous doesnt sleep. Atleast not conventionally. He sleeps in soldier sleep so light that the slightest foreign sound rouses him.

(Kortexian officials investigate and find that he bribed/threatened another man and had him undergo extensive plastic surgery to become his body-double and enter the games in his place)

RIP my two poor tributes.

[The Changeling Horde]

*link of Randomain, had grown quite a bit in power since the games began...he had made it to not 1 but 2 of the suply drops deployed early game to both the north and east, within the former he found a long sword with a Damascus steel blade along with a sturdy metal shield, within the later however he found a greater prize...4 solar powered reconnaissance drones along with a wrist mounted interface and display to observe through the thermal cameras each has embedded into their frames. With this he has stayed on top fleeing the more problematic of tributes and scanning the environment for food and water that has not been touched by the gamemakers "taint" that has made things so much harder to get what he needs to survive. Until then he had stayed in a cave a bit north of where the games started knowing that most tributes have moved towards the edges of the island.*

Better check the cams before the nights done. He says tired from a long day of gathering berries he knew were not poisonous and water from a stream north of his position.

*the drones he had set to do a perimeter scan for heat signatures around body temp showed nothing abnormal within a mile , with this assurance he collapsed on a makeshift bed made of several jackets, the remains of a torn sleeping bag, and his backpack serving as a pillow.*

*he had awoken the following morning looked at his wrist to check for any threats to his relief after a nightmare involving a lizard beast mauling him as he awoke, he drank some of his water from the other day before getting ready to head north to see if any uninfecected fish could be caught in the stream. As he left the cave the beautiful sunrise met him and touched his skin, he could argue that if this place was not a death arena it would be paradise. He took a moment to admire the serenity of the sun, he then felt a searing pain in the center of his upper back which slowly worked it's way forward before a long metallic object erupted from his chest missing his heart by a couple of centimeters, but it did not matter. His spinal colum was shattered and the spear has pierced all the way through his trachea. He could do nothing as he felt the terrible agony of drowning in his own blood.he coughed violently as he tried to expelled the fluid from his lungs, but to no avail. He remained this way until the creeping tendrils of death fully obscured his vision.

...

*silence was the only sound that day no birds chirping, Ruby Hawkeye stood behind the tribute before she withdrew the spear and the body fell with a thud...she had grown silent in the respect that No one was worth her time to speak to...they were all targets for her. She looted his gear in the cave and moved to his body, examineing and searching the cadaver she was unable to pocket the drones device as it seemed to be locked genetically to its user, even after she removed the limb it still was of no use to her something was however...*

*A hour later Ruby had walked to the ornate alter that rested where the games began, the corpses of two layed on it's steps she reasonably searched the bodies finding nothing she had any need of before moving to the ornate bowl in which contained two hearts flies buzzing on them. She had pieced the two details together but was unfazed, she then pulled out the heart and calmly placed it in the bowl*

You remind me on of myself when I was younger. A familiar voice came from behind the girl.

*she quickly spun around weapon drawn to find the queen on a screen that rose from the ground*

Your brutal efficiency, your cunning, your pragmatism, your whole bring resonates with a certain mindset few individuals have in this universe...

*Ruby is still silent giving the queen a cold stare*

It makes me remember my years in which I crushed anyone that was of no use to me.she sighs

*the queen looks very proudly at the girl*

You have certainly gained my favor, a achievement few have gained in the years I have lived...

*the view of the queen moves up into the corner of the screen as 5 touch screen buttons fill the screen*

Since you have gained my favor the alge I have implanted will be gone in 36 hours...but I offer you a few choice certainly a Free Guns For All, citezen would be interested in. The red button allows you to escape from these cursed games to a place of peace, the blue button will offer you companionship, the green will give you some creature comforts, the yellow will give you a edge, and the black button will make you a shadow in the night.

*the queen gives Ruby of Free Guns For All, take her time to make her choice in what she desires the most as a citezen of Free Guns For All, would.*

*the sky is also lit with a message reading that the feast is tomorrow*

[Free Guns For All]

Are you rigging the games in my favour?

...nice.

[The Changeling Horde]

*Ruby just stood and stared at the screen like a idiot as her choice passes right by*

Uhhh are you alright? I mean besides being in this mess...I mean I am sure you did not get hit with any blunt force trauma or anything...I mean do they speak English in Free Guns For All, or is their education garbage...I don't know I mean I imagine anyone could understand the concept of pick options I just did not know Free Guns For All, could not make up their bloody minds on what they want...

*the queen continues as Ruby ponders her choice using her Free Guns For All, backround to decide what she had really wanted from the queen from the choices avaliable*

[Free Guns For All]

Oh, you actually want me to choose? Is that even allowed?

...black.
