For one thing, you could make a noise. Even if you have no connection, if you made sound they would hear it, and if they turn around and you are there, they will still see you. It doesn’t make you completely invisible. They may not notice you as easily, but it’s not as if storing connection makes it impossible to notice you. Also, as soon as you attack, it won’t matter because you’ve attacked them and they will presumably fight back, unless you kill them instantaneously. There are ways to defend against a zero-connection attack. The same way you defend against any attack. Defence.

Quote

Connection storing makes people ignore you. And if I walk away, I should be mostly forgotten, allowing me to come back and repeat if I don’t finish my target off at first. But yeah, when I’m actively fighting them, people should be able to fight back. 

 @Wierdo, what did your character have? 
Tondon takes any potentially useful objects from the tribute he didn’t even learn the name of, then feeds them to the Redspine. @BlueWildRye @Edema Rue Then, the ground starts shaking.

"That was fast..." the Redspine murmured. "I accept this offering. Seeing as this is one of your own, I will try to be polite." It grabbed the body in its mouth and wandered off behind a tree to eat it.

Jaksyn throws the rose at Astra. “It has Stormlight!” He picks up his axe and charges KuLaam, aiming for the legs, trying to break bones. 

Astra snatches the rose from the air and spins to her attacker, KuLaam, using the stormlight for the surge of transportation (as a willshaper) to bring herself fifteen feet behind him, a safe distance to survey the area. @Unintelligenius

She was too off-guard to speak to either of them, but she felt her sweat drip from her fist, which was tightly gripping the rose, and her heavy breathing.

She caught Jaksyn's eye @LightRinger. She may not have been able to say it. But he knew. And she knew. Her life had nearly slipped from her in that ambush. And the stormlight had held her.

who else is in the area?

When the ground begins to shake, Tondon stumbles over himself, trying to stay on his feet until the earthquake stops.

Presumably this is another Change, and thus that will inform my next actions. So I’ll wait to act.

Mid dive Astra disappears. KuLaam was so shocked that he forgot to roll. He just landed on his front and slid a few feet along the ground. He picked himself up and got himself reoriented. Then the ground begin to shake.

@Lotus Blossom @Unintelligenius @LightRinger

As KuLaam goes low and puts his hands on the ground to support himself and keep his balance he hears a shout then feels a sharp pain on his right shoulder. He looks up to see the other tribute that had helped Astra escape was throwing pebbles at him. It looked like his contest had changed. He didn't mind. All he needed was a fight. A thrill. A kill. He slowly made his way as best he could towards Mark, trying to not fall as the ground shook beneath his feet.

And finally…

When the shaking stops, the sky doesn’t lighten. The ground is sharp and stony, and scattered throughout it are crevices and cliffs. It’s oddly geometrical; there are terraces rather than hills, corners rather than curves. It’s all sharp and angry. The whole arena is covered in a thin layer of dirt. Or perhaps it’s dust, or sand. Everyone feels weakened. @RoyalBeeMage feels faintly nauseated.

"This," the Redspine says to Tondon, "Reminds me of home. Before it was taken away from me." It felt a strong upset in its stomach. "I think I should have waited until the earthquake was done to eat that..." it muttered.

@The Stormfather

Mark yelps as the monster charges him. He throws another pebble before trying to run, but stumbling with the shaking of the earth.

Terror sets in, then seems to fade, as Mark’s face changes once more, into the sharper, harder version of himself. He raises his fists.

“Fight me honest, at least.”

“Hey Red! Can I call you Red? Let’s go find another tribute. My feruchemy is a little weaker now, so I can’t do the disappearing trick, but the Lurching should be enough.” Tondon then goes to find @WhyEverNot_8.

Okay, from Why:

I wanna spin the branch in a circle in front of me with one hand, then grab it with my other hand the slam it repeated into their sides (look up destiny 2 glaive melee for an example)

Wait why am I in melee? Tondon wouldn’t get close unless he had to.  I’ll justify it, though. 

Tondon rounds a corner and finds a tribute, who he hadn’t seen, due to their lack of metal. “Red! Tribute with no metal!” calls out, twisting his shield to try to protect himself. Several hits come through, and one knocks the wind out of him. He grunts, and drops to one knee. But this tribute doesn’t realize he has an edge.

Èmeric stares at the screen. His calloused hands folding over a smooth stone. It’s probably been smoothed over a long time by the crevices of his fingertips catching little bits of rock till it’s worn smooth. 

His eyes glow with the reflection of the screen. He’s been waiting, silently. He’s watching a story unfold among his characters, his players. He slowly picks his hand up and presses a small red button.

Tinker’s light flickers on with his microphone. “You are an interesting person.” It goes quiet and a moment later flickers again. “You say you have no interest in your ‘ally’ yet you would run into a blazing fire to save her.” He smirks behind the microphone.

”Don’t act like I’m blind.” He smiles. “You only invited the poor boy to your group because she wanted him. I see the disgust on your face. You’ll have to murder him at some point, but you’ll do it for her.” It goes silent for a few seconds. “She only tells you her secrets because she trusts you to care about her even to her death.” It goes silent. 
 

@The Bookwyrm

Suddenly a microphone by Roy’s ear turns on. “Hello. My name is Emeric.” He has a thick French accent. “And I am willing to make a deal.”

The shaking over, Astra stepped behind a geometrical shape, and eyed the conflict between Mark and KuLaam. Her eyes narrowed as she calculated her choices, lungs seeming too small for air, legs seeming too weak to stand.

She glazed around the arena's happenings, with a new determination and energy seeping into her body. She had truly become a different person. Less confident on her facade. But more confident in herself.

And then she summoned Rivia.

Oops, sorry I misunderstood. Thanks.

Connor pauses with the sharp end of the stick pointing towards Tondon’s face. “Humor me. Who are you, and what do you aim to get from these Hunger Games?”

The Redspine prowled nearby, careful not to make any loud noises as it crept towards their target. This was its natural habitat. It was at its best right now. It stopped behind a dead tree, watching the battle and waiting to strike.

“My name is Tondon. At first, I only wanted to survive, but I’ve realized now that to do so, I need to win.” He then swings the inside of his sickle to his left, trying to lock the pointy stick against his shield. If it works, he lunges forward with the sharp outside, trying to kill or at least distract Conner.

KuLaam makes his right leg open up as he continues to run forward, now hoping he could get it over with quick so he only had to take one at a time. He pulled another glass dagger from his right leg, so now he again had two. He closed his leg and ran forward slashing his dagger at Marks neck.

Without a second thought, Tinker tore the microphone from his new outfit.

"I'm done with you," he said, holding it to his mouth. "I've made it this far without your help. I don't want the help of a man who grins to see us suffer and die. You're already killing us; let that be enough.

"Every word that drips from your mouth only reveals how little you understand of our position. Don't talk to me. Don't pretend to know me. It makes me sick when you do."

Tinker dropped the microphone and crushed it under his shoe.
