• • • It was just before midnight as Xavier strolled into the Gamemaker Control Center, stirring his mint tea with one of his many throwing knives casually. He came to a swift stop to the right of a familiar figure and took a sip before speaking. “ A peaceful night in the Arena...how unfortunate that the peace won’t last much longer,” he remarked apathetically, his accent cutting through the air sharper than the blade of his finest knife. “ Wouldn’t you agree, Acacia?” Although she remained silent, the slightest of smirks did appear on her face as the large clock behind the two Victors struck midnight. Xavier tilted his head and took a sip of tea as he turned to head out. “ May the event commence.” And, with that, it did. • • • As the moon comes to its highest point in the midnight sky, your Tribute is interrupted from their typical activities with a flock of seagulls soaring overhead, one even swooping down lower to get their attention. Curious, your Tribute follows them, and they wait patiently…although, in a way, it is rather menacing the way their beady eyes gleam as they observe your every move. They glow in the moonlight. The Tribute comes to a clearing, and suddenly the seagulls scatter throughout the sky, all but one disappearing as quickly as they came. The seagull in question drops a package on the ground behind where you stand. Confused, you turn the opposite direction… …and come face to face with another Tribute. At that moment, each Tribute in a similar situation knows what they have to do. Let the battles begin. • • • In this event, your Tribute is led by a flock of seagulls to a clearing or another setting suitable for an interesting battle. Your opponent is led by seagulls of the same species. In the center of the clearing or setting, a package is placed. The package contains a note from family, friends, or someone close to the Tribute, although Tributes will not know this until there is a winner and they have opened the package. It is required of you to fight your assigned opponent to the death unless excused. Battles must finish on Wednesday 8/3. Although the event is paired, the mods have done their best to not have allies fight each other at this time.
