#task33

 Nicola had been working from home for a little while. After having Waverly she wasn’t sure if she would ever want to have anymore kids. With the right partner having a child could be something truly amazing. It had been Cooper that had sensed that something was indeed off. He had become more protective and wanted to be close to her. She was supposed to be taking it easy, resting if that was the appropriate word for it but there had been a few issues at the gallery that needed her immediate attention. She knew that stress wasn’t good not only for herself but for the child that was growing inside of her. She smiled as she felt Cooper nudge her. She knew that she needed to take a break and at least eat something. She sighed as she heard notifications go off. ‘What now?’ She rolled her eyes seeing it was about recent Gossip Queen posts. Gossip was one of the quickest ways to ruin happiness or stress someone out.

Choosing to ignore the alerts she went back to the documents that she needed to go over. Hearing her phone chime again she ran her fingers through her hair and grabbed one of cotton candy grapes that were in the bowl. She looked to see that she had a text from Gabe asking if she was okay. She was deep into her work and she typically ignored texts until another one came through and it was about her meeting up with her ex. “Ty che, blyad?” (What the fuck) To say that she was pissed off was an understatement at this point. She rarely spoke in Russian but when she did she was really pissed off. She picked up a book and threw it at wall. A disgruntled sigh escaped her lips as she paced back and forth. Cooper stayed right with her. She felt awful about the whole situation. Her past with Ryan was complicated and as much as she hated it they would be forever tied to one another because of Waverly. She knew that she never should of met with him. The outcome was always the same. He knew that he could push her buttons and make her feel like she was the worse mother in the entire world.

If it hadn’t been about Waverly and the fact that she wanted him to sign his rights away she never would have went. She had completely lost it. Ryan had completely backed her into a corner and in that moment her main priority was the baby that she was carrying. She didn’t want to focus on that or work at the moment. All she really wanted to do was spend time with Theo but this particular project for the gallery needed her and it had taken up most of her time for the day. The quicker she got done the quicker she could spend time with Theo. “Honey?” She looked up to see Theo, standing in the doorway, arms folded over his chest with a concerned look etched on his face. “Are you okay?” 

“I’m okay.” She knew better than to say that she was okay because he could read her like a book and her saying I’m okay was code for no I’m really not okay. She always told him when something was bothering her. She never kept anything from him.

She groaned as another notification came through on her phone. “What is going on? I can’t help you if you don’t talk to me.” “I….I’m sorry I lost track of time. My email kept going off and then my phone was going off. This project….means everything to me and I’ve worked so hard….” He sighed and walked towards her. He rested his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them slightly to ease some of the tension. She melted into his touch. “Are you going to tell me what’s gotten you so worked up that you started cursing in Russian?”

New York Fashion Week, September 2017 

If this past New York Fashion Week had an MVP, it would be Juliet Lourd, the fresh faced music producer who's hits are already topping the charts. Shes as sweet as she's got swagger and definitely takes the cake as far as fashionista goes this season. Appearing in the front rows at shows like Helmut Lang, Fenty x Puma, and Christian Siriano, she sent photographers into a frenzy, while her latest production, a hit recorded by the queen of pop herself, provided the soundtrack to the finale at Chromat. And she helped the queen bring the house down with a performance at Alexander Wang’s Brooklyn #Wang Party, generating enough raw enthusiasm to make guests forget the hour they’d just spent standing in pens waiting for the show to begin. 

It’s that energy that sets Juliet apart from her contemporaries. While she may have gotten initial exposure thanks to a stint on Just us Kids, the after school television sensation, she has since become a star in the music industry and a bona fide fashion influencer. With a taste for pieces from Gucci, Versace, and Saint Laurent, she updates her millions of followers regularly with unconventional outfit snaps and cheeky videos. Eager to not just wear the latest trends but to set them, she gravitates toward an in-your-face aesthetic. 

“Scorpios like to take risks!” she said with a smile during a visit to Vogue’s offices. “I want to wear me. I want to wear something where people go, ‘Why is this bitch wearing a rectangle? Why does she have on a bra made of weed?’ ” With the help of stylist Kollin Carter, Jules has channeled her love of couturé fashion into a distinctive look that can move seamlessly from sneakers and jeans during off-duty days back home in the London to gilded gowns like the one she wore at last night’s Diamond Ball. After her controversial upbringing In what she has self dubbed a cult from hell, to her time playing runner up to the likes of Brittany Spears and Christina Aguleria, Lourd has never let anything stand in her way.

Congratulations are in order, first of all.

Now that you've been declared, you have two things you need to do

Write your Final Interview with Kardos and Kastos

Write me a three paragraph bio that contains what your life was like before, during, and after the Games! In third person, as always. : ))

Again, congrats on your win, you deserved it. For all of those who didn't make it, I love you guys and hope you play in the future for another chance to the Victor of the 34th Annual Hunger Games!

This is due ASAP as we can't start the next Games without it! : ))

With love to all

The Six Buildings smush together to make one big fighting platform. The three final tributes are instructed not to start until the gong sounds, much like in their battles against the so-called Victors. They have all harbored injuries and will not be healed for the upcoming match. Three tributes, all from odd numbered outlying Districts. Who will come out on top and be the next Victor to join the rank of select few who beat the odds?

Find out later this week!

So, you guys know what to do by now. Tell me how you off the other two and be super detailed and planned out! That's how you stay alive!

This Task is due Wednesday, July 25th at 10 pm EST

Remaining teibutes, pick the one of the six marbles that compel you the most:

A Red Marble

A Blue Marble

A Blue-Violet Marble

A Dark Green Marble

A Grey Marble

A Black Marble

This is due at the same time as your Day 3 Task

It's simple, just pick one.

Congratulations on being the Final 10 tributes left in the arena. Unfortunately, nine more of you have to die. So, who will that be? What will you do to survive? How do you continue on in the arena? Who do you go after? Who do you avoid?

As for Aspen and Yolanda, have at one another! Make it good, make it bloody! Give us a good show!

This Task is due Friday, July 19th at 10 pm EST!

~May the odds be ever in your favor~

You've survived! Or at least for now anyway. Some of you staying in the Building may begin to notice some strange things going on.Those of you in the Alleys don't notice all too much.

For instance, those of you hiking it out near Building A might notice that a freaking train has crashed into and torn down the building or that Angel statue seemed to be always facing you.

If you're around Building B, you may notice that half of it was torn down and that it is otherwise unremarkable

Anyone who managed to get to Building C has probably found themselves unable to find their way out. Where was the door again?

In Building D you may have come across this black sludge that is running down the walls and across the floor. The elevator is running, but you're wondering where it might lead to.

Those of you with keen ears can notice a faint beeping sound coming from Building E. What is it? Are somebody's Enchilada's done in the microwave?

Building F is pretty indistinguishable, besides the notebook paper with black crayon drawings all over the place. Had a child drawn these?

~

Tell me how you proceed in the arena. Where do you go? What do you do for food and water? I hear the Arena 33 specialty is Rat and Pigeon on the barbie! Do you stick with the people you've joined up or discover you're more of a lone ranger? Who do you go after, if you do? Who do you avoid?  What do you think this arena and your fell tributes have in store for you?

Also, the price of items goes up by 2 points every day you live in the arena. So use it or have no use for it. It starts on Day 3. Also, show some variety in your sponsorship items. I don't want sixteen archers.

Task will be due Tuesday July 16th at 11 pm EST

~May the odds be ever in your favor~
