Test Drive Meme
Welcome to Panem. You have been selected to participate in the 75th Annual Hunger Games!
Premise: This Arena is designed to be a small mock arena not all that dissimilar to the in-game arenas we run here at The Games. The party is similar to some of the gathering logs we have inside the Capitol when an Arena begins. Our hope is to give new and prospective players a place to get their feet wet, and get a feel for the fun (and bloody) mess that goes on around here.
This meme is open to anyone and everyone who would like to play. Current cast members, veteran and new, as well as anyone just wanting top drop in and have some fun!
How To Play.
Current cast members - you may tag into this Arena in any way you choose, even cast members who aren't or are no longer tributes.
***An important side note, as it is within the confines of the Arena in-game, all powers are lessened/nullified to bring any character down to a vincible level. (i.e. make more magical/super-powered characters easier to actually kill for a normal person). Rule of thumb: If it's a physical difference, the Capitol will not mutilate it out (wings, etc.), but otherwise it's gone.
The Arena.
The Tributes are put into the tube by their Stylists and emerge into blistering dry heat and blinding sun. They stand atop a red rock peak, in a circle, with the Cornucopia in the center. They're dressed in cargo shorts and tank tops, men and women, and hiking boots. The sun beats down mercilessly, and there's a fifty-foot drop around them from this natural pedestal.
The Cornucopia's bounty includes rock climbing harnesses, water bottles, ropes, climbing grips for shoes, globes, sunscreen, and cans of food and water. Naturally, weapons are also available - crossbows, bear traps, "walking sticks", hunting knives.
The wildlife waits for them below: gila monsters with poisonous mouths, violent javelinas, shrikes bred to go for the eyes, rattlesnakes with hallucinogenic venom.

Ropes and carabiners hang from the sides of the peak, for those who don't die in the bloodbath or fall to their dooms.

With the sound of the gong, the Arena has begun.

The Party.
Back in the Capitol, the Cornucopia is being celebrated with a lavish party inside a hologram room. The walls of the party shift around to various exotic locales, but the theme of the evening seems to be Heat. Saunas and tanning beds are available, and Capitolites, their makeup practically dripping off from the temperature, are in hot tubs or stripped down in fluffy robes. Avoxes, tongueless and sweaty, bring ice cold drinks to everyone.
Anyone who's anyone is invited.

TEJ PARKER FROM FAST & THE FURIOUS AW YEAH
He only really realizes what he's going to do, though, when a blonde girl bumps into him and apologizes. He figures people who want to kill him probably won't apologizing for a little elbow-jostling - and that the people who do apologize don't deserve to be killed.
He follows her.
"Keep going, I'll cover your back!" He's serious. "I won't hurt you!"

Cassie first wanted to snap that she could take care of herself. She was trained. She was a Young Avenger, even if she had no powers. But then she realized that was no way to make friends so they could all get out of here in one piece. At least, those that survived. Being defensive over the fact that she was a
scaredsixteen year old girl wasn't going to help."Alright! I'll get us something."
She saw several bags ahead of her and snatched up too.
But then she froze as she saw the bloodbath unfolding around her. It only took her a moment to snap out of it but that moment would be ingrained in her mind forever.
"I've got it. Let's get out of here!"

"No argument!" he yells, making good on his promise and keeping himself between Cassie and potential attackers even though he's sure it's going to end with him as a corpse here. "Go, go, go!"
