Day Seven - The Feast

...asking for a friend.

Speak of the devil.....

How does an invisible person even have any friends? Tell me that, my dear.

Also, I know it is no longer relevant, but I for one am very glad that this was not the world's deadliest game of tic-tac-toe. The Alliance would have claimed victory days ago:

They can't see me but they feel my presence, just as my opponents feel my breath on the backs of their necks.

Ah, I thought I caught a whiff of that yesterday.

Next time you're around, just ask. I have enough mints for the both of us.

short term problem

Bad diet? There isn't much point to surviving if you're just killing yourself with what you eat! Try some fish. Nice and lean, good source of protein. You'll thank me. Assuming you live long enough, of course.

Thanks Rick

Tributes, another day has come to an end, and with it we have lost our most accomplished artist, Amp. May his spirit live on to see the end of these games.

You have all been invited to a feast. You are so near one another in the arena that you can hear the scream of each other's nightmares.

Tell me, how has this new development altered your perceptions of one another? When the cannons next fire who will we see in the sky?

I tossed my sand in Cato's face yesterday. Since Cato had 100 million items, i'm thinking at least one of them was blocked. I had no control over which one.

Most of them eat like animals. I'm assuming now that they were raised in barns.

My perception remains unaltered. I prepare for the best opponent possible. If they fall short of that standard, then my victory will simply require less effort. I will not risk, however, underestimating them and ultimately disgracing my district. That is unthinkable. And so, until proven otherwise, I perceive each and every one of them to be the mightiest of warriors.

You ask and I shall answer. Until the visages of Cato and Octave are seen glimmering in that night sky, the rest of us Tributes are fighting not to survive, but to survive a little longer. They must be dealt with, and soon.

Does that cat have a frisbee in its mouth?

Dialogue bubble.

As I said, they can't speak up for themselves.

I bet a cat could catch a frisbee if it wanted to.

Claudius, is there an easy way to search your words on this board? I want to give them their proper respect, but I don't have an infinite amount of time to invest.

With the "search" above (next to memberlist), you can kinda search like the old old VA board, but it's not perfect.

You want mine? Have me repeat them. I love nothing more than the sound of my own voice.

ty!

I sense a feeble attempt to win your affections, Claudius.

Pathetic. And he is going about it all wrong. We all know you're very wise, so it stands to reason your words will reflect that wisdom radiantly. There is no need to investigate and quote your words. Rather, she should be appealing to your self-perceived weakness. Medium-handsome? Laughable. To me you are a very good looking man. A cross between Zeus and a stern Donald Sutherland. I can see that appealing to ladies all across the land.

You can win my affections, Marvel. I am currently affection-less.

Was there anyone in the book who didn't want anyone to die ever?

I'm afraid that is the one battle I can not win.

Were I trying to curry favor, it would not be through hollow words or gestures. Claudius has known my trust and respect since well before I entered the arena and I would not disgrace these games with irrelevant flattery.

I imagined Cato looking more like Karofsky from Glee and less like Peter Pan.

Will Smith and Jerry Seinfeld will be victorious in making underage kids hungry?

I will dogsit!

Snooki wouldn't last a day here, btw.

I got "I will be going to the movies!"

godDAMN that's a handsome dog

He'd make a great companion in the Arena.

I know this beautiful woman named K e l l y. She has a big fluffy dog, she loves Wes Anderson movies, and she's a big fan of 90's wrestlers. When I get out of here, I'll introduce you.

I don't think we're ever getting out of here.

YOU SHUT THAT FACE

Cato, she sounds like a real peach. I bet she would hate my beard.

Fuck off, Violet Beauregarde.

Who was supposed to block Cato that didn't? Or who guarded him? I thought for sure it would have been a lot bloodier today than it was.

I believe Arbor said he would. He either didn't block Cato, or someone blocked Arbor.

Well, I think we know who the Sponsor Kill will be in the write-up tonight.

One never wins a battle he does not enter.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Cato wrote:

Does anyone else find it interesting that someone had an item meant for someone to have when the game was down to 2 people but now we lost all our items? I think the lack of bloodshed has annoyed the spectators.

I don't find it interesting in the least.

I believe it was Neptunes screams I heard last night. They were the soundtrack to my dream. I obviously dreamed of victory in the arena.

I for one welcome the close quarters. I was previously worried it would be difficult for me to ever leave the fields of flowers. My most worthy opponents appear to be here at this time and I would be honored to battle with each of them.

I am well stocked thanks to my lovely sponsors and should I be fortunate enough to win immunity this night, it will ensure victory over those who wish death to Clove and myself. I believe many will be gunning for us tonight because of the favor I have held with the capitol and the sponsors. Many of them decided late in the game that this was not just about surviving but also being entertaining. I have done my best to do both since day 1.

Marvel, you were in my sights for far too long. Should I win immunity this night, you will be my target.
Neptune, your charity, like my own, give a voice to those who need it. A loss to you would be respectable.
Katniss, you have skated through this entire game with little to no effort on your own part. I wish you death this night because you are not worthy of the win.
Octave, you have been very active, entertaining, and resourceful. I wish to know your true identity so that I may give you the proper respect you deserve.
Cordelia, you are the under the radar type. I don't even see a single attack against you this entire game. Perhaps if Clove wins immunity this night, the opportunity should be used to attack you.
Foxface, had Holden not been such a train wreck, you would have been dead day 1. You're living on borrowed time.
Arbor, thanks for the tents.
