The Cornucopia. A place all tributes fear to tread. People have heard horror stories of it over the years, and most have seen those horror stories come to life on the screen every year that there is a new games. This place isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s where the lions pick off the gazelles and the smarter animals run in the opposite direction. It’s a bloodbath. Every year, some of the worst violence seen inflicted on other tributes is the violence that is seen taking place in the Cornucopia, as soon as the clock hits zero. Come away little lambs to the slaughter.
That morning, all tributes are escorted down to the launching pads by peacekeepers where they meet with their district stylists for the last time and are fitted into their specially designed arena outfits, identical to the other tributes, except for the color of the stripes on their jackets and their t-shirts, which is based on their district. (District 1 is avocado green, 2 is rust red, 3 is mustard yellow, 4 is seastorm green, 5 is plum red, 6 is tomato red, 7 is russet brown, 8 is goldenrod yellow, 9 is bottle green, 10 is foie gras grey, 11 is chocolate brown, and 12 is coal black). Each tribute is designated a launching pad separate from their district partner, complete with a standing platform surrounded by an inner tube that tributes are put into once it’s time. When the countdown clock has reached twenty, tributes are put in the tubes and they are launched up into the arena, where the clock continues to count down. Once the clock has reached one (but not before, the launching pads are designed to explode if a tribute jumps off of it prematurely), tributes can jump off and make a run for the Cornucopia, or the forest, if they’d rather risk the first day of the games without any weapons or supplies.
The goodies in the Cornucopia vary, depending on where it is you’re grabbing them from. The best stuff is closer to the center, where the giant metal cornucopia itself stands. Along with a wondrous assortment of weapons, there are trunks and bags filled with supplies of all kinds. Food, drink, canisters to hold water, sleeping bags, you name it. The further you get from the cornucopia, the less risk, but also the less reward. Here you’ll find bags scattered with one or two items in them. All bags are a bright orange color--there’s no hiding with them in the green of the dense forest.
“3… 2… 1…”
[OOC note: The cornucopia thread isn’t going to be separated by district, but we will be relying on multiple sub-threads on the same scenario instead of just one giant ongoing thread to keep cornucopia events moving. If there’s an initial thread already started by people for the cornucopia, instead of replying to the end of it, start your own thread by replying to the main log itself and going from there. We’re relying on you guys to work out what your character will be doing in the thread and with whom, so remember to use this post to plot with people unless you want to leave your character’s fate open to whoever decides to respond to your post. This thread will only be used for the cornucopia battle. If your character is not one of the named dead, once they have gotten what they needed from the cornucopia or have managed to escape the bloodbath, feel free to have them run off in a fade to black. We will be posting a separate thread for the rest of the first day soon where you can pick up where they left off.
