Welcome, Tributes

I mean the constant barrage of anons being rude are getting me down, I'm getting over a major rough period emotionally, I am swimming in schoolwork, and I've joined para which is super time consuming.

So yeah PWBW isn't at the top of my list right now, school is. And my own mental well-being. 

Explain how you proceed. One golden ticket has been found between Sage and Lulu, but in the end it's one per customer. Do you try to find another or kill the other to claim it? Everyone else, continue with caution. The arena is full of surprises.

Marley approached the river with a little laugh. She hid under the bridge and stripped down to her delicates. The river lapped them up when she laid them onto the riverbank. She tucked her knife and sword into her bra and waded into the river. The current was strong though, so Marley quickly glided back to the riverbank and saw that the boat was still moored along the shore. She climbed in and quickly made her way across the river.

Sage settled in with Lulu, surveying their surroundings. Lulu looked at Sage, “You..” She started blanking on her allies name. “What’s your deal?”

Sage stare at her, “I have a name!” She whispered angrily, “My name is Sage! And you will call me by it.”

Lulu made the mistake of laughing at Sage. Something inside of Sage snapped and she lunged at Lulu, “I’m no different than you!” Sage breathed and slammed Lulu’s head into the ground. She wrenched the knife out of her former allies hand and turned it on her. “I am a human and I wasn’t ever given the courtesy of being treated as such. Don’t you dare expect me to take this shit here!”

“Fine…” Lulu held her hands up to yield. “I’m sorry..” She said quickly to Sage. “I had no idea, I’m sorry, Sage.”

Autumn took some edible grass and ground them up so that green coloring came out of them. She rubbed the dye on her skin and clothing, which turned a dark green color in patches. She did the same with the dirt on the ground, and her entire body was now green and brown, camouflaged with the edible forest.

Autumn found a large bush that sat between Building C and the forest. After making sure no other tributes were watching her, she climbed into the bush quietly, now completely hidden from outside view. Where she sat was roomy, large enough only for her and her backpack, with a small, wide but narrow spot and the bottom of the bush where she could quickly slip out of.  Autumn could not see what was outside of the bush, so she made tiny holes all around the it where she could look to see outside with only one eye.

Skyler, Luis, and Faye ran for the forest as soon as they could. The three of them climb up the trees and stay overnight in the canopy until morning came. In the morning, they each had a small sip of water. The group looked around and realized that they were in genetically modified cocoa bean trees that looked like maple trees but cocoa beans grew from the branches.

Luis and Faye climbed down the tree and waited for Skyler to be ready. Faye kept her rope at the ready, while Luis snapped a branch off of one of the nearby trees. Luis threw a rock up to Skyler for her to sharpen her cane. The rock bounced off the tree before Skyler could catch it, knocking a few leaves off the tree.

Just as the trio was ready to start their search for the golden ticket, a growl was heard from the canopy behind the tributes. Four creatures erupted from the branches, falling to the ground to attack the group. The creatures looked like small trolls. They had muscular orange bodies and stood about 4 feet off of the ground. Wild green hair grew out of their heads and twirled to a sharp point. Instead of fingernails, claws dominated the fingertips of the creatures. They looked furious, but before they could do anything, their leader came out and sang a little song,

We are the oompa loompas,

You have hurt our trees

You will not live past this

Cocoa beans are our love.

It wasn’t a very good song, but the oompa loompas didn’t care. They attacked the trio.  One of the oompa loompas headed up the tree towards Skyler. Having the advantage though, Skyler poked and stabbed at the oompa loompa, injuring it before it could climb onto the branch. When it climbed onto the branch, Skyler swiftly kicked the creature off and it instantly died when it hit the ground.

Faye was having more trouble than Skyler. The leader and one of the others had targeted her. Faye had tied a lasso before running away and took the opportunity to toss the lasso onto the smaller oompa loompa and choking it out. The leader had snuck up on her and scratched at her eyes before she swung the dead oompa loompa at the leader. He stumbled backwards but not before he used his hair to stab the girl through the heart. She fell to the ground as the leader turned to the battle of Luis.

Annadale wasn’t expecting a third ally to join her and Poppy. She huffed as she trudged over the seemingly new wooden bridge. Annadale pried off a board of wood, carrying it as she stuck her foot out to Margot, attempting to trip her, but failed. Margot shot her a glare and continued to walk in front of Annadale, who continuously rolled her eyes at the girl.

“Wonder what that chocolate’s made out of…” Annadale mumbled to herself, nearly slipping on some that’d spurted onto the bridge. She smirked to herself and hopped off of the bridge into the soft grass. “Margot, come here. Can you do me a favor?”

Margot looked skeptical as she walked closer to her ally. “What for?” She asked, her eyebrow curving upwards.

Annadale waved her hand, as if it was nothing. “Can you just try that chocolate? See, I don’t like it, and neither does Poppy. Don’t you, Poppy?”

“Oh, yes, I mean—no, of course not, who does like chocolate?” Poppy said shakily, covering it with a laugh. She cocked her head to the side, giving Annadale a confused look.

Annadale grinned. “You’re the only one who can have it, then. Just try it, I’m sure it won’t do you any harm. You’ll be doing it for the good of all of us, just think about that.”

Reluctantly, Margot knelt down, looking  back up at Annadale, who motioned for her to go. She cupped her hand into the chocolate river carefully, gathering as much as she could.

Annadale winked at Poppy and rose her hammer over Margot’s head, who was licking the chocolate off of her hands. Annadale brought it down hard, knocking Margot straight into the river. The girl dead, floated down the river until a tube sucked her up and out of the factory.

“See, wasn’t so hard to get rid of her,” Annadale said with a smile.

“One less to worry about,” Poppy replied in agreement.

Fern woke up in the factory and looked around before shaking her partner awake. The pair equipped themselves with Fern’s vest of knives and Cobalt’s magnifying glass, before eating some food. While they were chowing down, a parachute landed in Cobalt’s lap. He opened it and was happy to see dynamite sitting in the wrappings. The two then quietly crept to the back of Building A.

Electrical wires protruded from the building giving the tributes a way up to the roof. They tied the wires in a way to make themselves harnesses and climbed to the roof. Using Fern’s knives the two cut a hole in the top of the structure. The piece of ceiling fell to the ground with an oof. Just as they were about to climb through the hole, a scurry of squirrels thoroughly erupted out of the hole in the roof.

They could hear a smattering of fighting below, but there were more pressing matters at hand. Cobalt, using his magnifying glass, smacked the squirrels out of his way. One flew at his face and he batted it out of the way, sending the squirrel flying to the roof of Building B. Fern was using her knives to kill the squirrels that were attacking her, but there were many of them surrounding her. The two quickly convened at the hole, Cobalt peering down the hole while Fern defended him. Gavin and James were being attacked by many other squirrels inside. Fern glanced at Cobalt and silently gave him the go ahead. Cobalt, using his magnifying glass, lit the wick of the dynamite and threw it through the hole.

I hope that you aren't too mad at us. I have been super busy and haven't communicated too much with HGM Swift. So we are so sorry for the late post as Swift has been preoccupied with dance and school. So she will be writing and posting them tonight I think. 

Thanks loves!

Here are some gifs as gifts to you!

They'd probably get results sooner if we didn't have real life.

But we do.

I understand that, but please understand this, we are both very busy people. I, personally, have done 2 tests over the past 24 hours and within the next 7 I have to do another one. I’m sorry but I have to focus on these for the time being. As well, tonight I have to prepare for a lab tomorrow and revise my assignment for one of my classes that is due Thursday. I know you want results, but could you give us a little bit of a break. It would be very much appreciated. Thank you. We will try to get it up as soon as possible, it’s also a break for you to chill and do homework and relax too.

Nope. I have a french test and I'm exhausted.

These games have been stressing me out a lot so we're gonna be running a little more relaxed for a while. 

Yeah, there is. A few tribs have come to me saying other tributes are telling them they are in certain alliances.
