"So like... I give you something right now and then you tell me when you have pewter and I come and get it or like.. you tell me when you have pewter then I come and give you something?" Quelkin asks.

 @Edema Rue @Ancient Elantrian

“That depends,” Corin said, “on what you’re willing to trade.” The corner of his mouth twitched up. “And on if you want anything more.”

Dougella, HG Arena

Dougella stumbles around the arena. This is why I don't have any friends. She continues wandering, Too competitive, the voice repeats in her head, over and over. Never ending, driving her up the wall. She takes a few deep breaths. Calm down, yes, calm down. it mutters. She feels like screaming, but stumbles upon a group of tributes, and heads towards them, and the fire they had, before falling on the ground, staying there and falling asleep, her head spinning.

Looking for an opinion, does anyone think I am going overboard with the character?

GMHQ:

Gavin doesn’t move for a long moment after that. He lifts his brush, but his hand is shaking, and all it does is draw an ugly, garish line across something that was nearly a masterpiece. Do they really get to control me so easily? They don’t know me. How can they? They’ve never missed a meal in their lives. They play their games with the tributes just for the show. 

They don’t know what it is to fight just to stay alive.

Gavin’s lip curled as he began mechanically cleaning up his painting supplies. And that makes them weak. But I do. And I live for the art, not their pride. He walked back into the control room, fiddled with some buttons, murmured something into a mic. Then he went to get dressed. He’d lived this long without parents, and he didn’t need them now; they were assets, not allies.

"Emric?" Cosette called, walking down a hallway, searching for him. @SmilingPanda19

“We either let her live or kill her. It is still the Hunger Games, and if any of us want to win…” She left the rest in the air, but it was obvious what she was implying.

"Well, I could use some sand or something to get rid of my headache... Actually do you just have something that will keep me warm, don't want to freeze in this rustin' weather. I could give you some information. Some old food that I got stole from this tribute... Oh or this", he says as he pulls out three vials of metal and sets them on the counter. "Don't know what they are but they made me sick, so their definitely not pewter."

So pretty much he wants something warm now and a promise of pewter for latter in case that was to confusing.

Corin hums softly. “If they’re of no use to you, then they’re of no use to me. I can give you a coat and promise you pewter. But you’ll need to do better than that. I can trade in information, depending on just how useful it is.” He leans forward, eyes strangely mirthful. Much too mirthful for what he said next. “I also trade in blood.”

Corin grinned darkly. “You could.” Don’t think about it. It’s a deal. It’s merchandise, not a person. It’s them, not you. Don’t let it get into your head. “You have two Changes. If it isn’t done by then…” Corbin’s grin widened. “You won’t like what happens then.”

Kresh moves back. He doesn’t know how to have a relationship. He had lived a solitary life outside his time at Dakhor, but that had hardly improved his social skills. He could preach all day, but he didn’t know how to have a normal conversation.

Like myself roy is atheist but is still open to hearing about and learning about other religions and beliefs.

Quelkin grabs the coat that Corin hands him over the counter. So now I have to go kill someone. And I don't even have a weapon, or pewter, or sand, or stormlight. Just a spren that is... currently endlessly doing backflips. He shakes his head as he exits the casino and puts on the coat, shivering from the cold. He sees two other tributes who seem to be messing with the red dust. He walks over to them and says "Hey watcha doin? I'm Quelkin!" as he displays a smile on his face. "My first victims" he thinks as he puts out his hand.

I assume that got a coat from Corin? Also is it RoyalBeeMage and Lord Spirit that are by the spikes or is that other people.

Tondon rolls over in his sleep.

Jaksyn scrapes at his metal mind with his teeth. He can feel the metal inside him, and thinks it could be enough to wipe allomantic reserves, especially with how scarce metal is in the Games. He wakes Tondon up with a hand to the throat. “I’m a leecher, and you have 10 seconds to tell me why I should let you fight by my side instead of dying before I sap your reserves and choke you.”

I know it’s a risk to wait to burn Chromium, but if he can help me, I don’t want to waste anything.

Corin watched her for a long moment. His smile was frozen. He could have called out.

He should have called out.

But that would have been a stumble in an otherwise flawless dance.

That would have been more than enough for them to kill him just to see what it did to her. 

So he picked up a rag, and, almost mechanically, began cleaning the glasses.

He hoped she gambled well.

@Ancient Elantrian [in case you didnt see this]

"Why hello, sir," she grinned. Though her mind refused, her smile slipped back into place anyway. "Would you mind a game of... cards, perchance?"

GM HQ, a random room away from everyone

Rekker lays down his most recent notes on the ground, adding it to the hundreds of pages littering the floor. After a few moments of searching, he finds the page he is looking for and starts writing. 

Subjects have performed better than expected. Still no deaths. Humans are more resilient than predicted. 

A shadow suddenly covers the small amount of light peeking underneath the door, and Rekker hurriedly stands up to block whoever it was from seeing his precious work. The door opens, and Epiphany peeks in. Rekker lets out an unvoluntary sigh of relief. 

"Oh, it's just you."

"Just me?" she responds, light-hearted.

Rekker smiles. "You know what I mean."

"So, what have you found?"

"I think the time is long overdue." He spins the pen around his finger before writing once more.

Prediction: Not all Subjects will survive the next phase.

Tondon’s eyes snap open. “Aahh! Ruin! Don’t kill me!” Then his brain catches up to his mouth. “Uhhh. If you kill me in my sleep, you’ll need to sleep eventually, and then someone else will kill you in your sleep. Wait- you have reserves? I would kill for some iron right now. But yeah, there are too many people in alliances to make solos have much of a chance. I think that was a little more than ten seconds, but please don’t kill me.” He’s been trying to tap some duralumin throughout the conversation, but of course he doesn’t have any. His knife, spores, and water gun belt fell off while he was asleep, so he can’t reach it without being choked. @LightRinger

At least for me, getting quoted gives a notification. Also, I’ve been reading all the new posts, although I’m still on page 6 from the one day explosion. I’d thought Jaksyn was the steel - chromium twinborn, but double chromium should work even better. He could probably just duck and have Tondon impale himself. So yeah, your choice. Tondon either gets to have an ally, or he ends up as the first casualty.
