Unintelligenius he/him Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Quote I've been really busy so can someone update me on what has happened in the past few days. Also I'm going to be gone at fsy for the week so won't be on like at all. KuLaam walks away from the casino and into the wilderness. If he is approached by a tribute he goes in the other direction and generally doesn't engage with anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can almost see a figure in the corner of her vision, but every time she turns to look, it’s gone. "Stop- I need it- to stop-" Astra mutters incoherently, batting away at her hair, clothes, and eyelashes as the whisper surrounded her... grasping her... choking her- "STOP!" Astra shouts, hands at her ears, eyes shut. The wind was silent for only a moment. Or was that just her mind? Trapping her then encouraging her to run free. It was always a game. They're teasing me. On 7/19/2024 at 11:46 PM, LightRinger said: “I’ve been here the whole time…” he mutters under his breath. Jaksyn feels the wind again, and turns to make sure Astra’s safe. She looked up. Vulnerable. "I'm fine." She straightened herself and her hair, the wind still nipping her whenever she wasn't looking, and her heartbeat thudding like fast footsteps in her chest. "I'm fine." She tried to foucs on her breathing, then on the others. "How are you?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the weak ones. They're the ones who need to be taught to cry, and taught to toughen up. They're the reason these games are so important.

I’ve been remembering it ever since we fought and killed Quelkin.” A tear forms in Mark’s eye. “It was the only way for us to survive. The mines had left me destitute. Only job I found was… assasination. I killed. Many.” Mark sighed. ”There was one final job. The last one, to bring me up from the bottom and give me enough money to maybe survive. I was said to kill her in a dark alley, a boss of a rival gang. Me and Sereine… my best friend, well, she new the target. She protested killing her, and we fought.” Mark shudders. ”Midnight that night, I found the target, knifed her in the alley. But… she was a bloodmaker. Like Sereine. I stabbed again and again, wild with rage as she screamed for help. It was then when I noticed… it WAS Sereine. I had killed her. The only one who had been on my side through it all… had been the leader of another gang!” Mark raises his voice. ”She had been spying on me, giving them information about me, and yet… I still… I still loved her…” ”that was until I found out her final order to her gang. Send the coinshot. Kill Mark. That’s why I’m here. And.. I am far from fine. I think we all aren’t fine, if we’re volunteering for these games. But.. it’s time to end this. It’s time… sadly… to kill the others. I know we have to. We gotta do what we can to survive.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
