TW: BUGS --- The victor's garden /had/ never been more beautiful. Promised to the winners of the games, it was lavish and extravagant. Acacia trees littered the gated-courtyard, with accents of sage along the ground. Rubellite stones lined a few pathways, joined by lavender. Acacia stood beside Xavier. Other victors soon followed, stepping up to each one of their separate sections of stone. Their beautiful garden. Their only solace in the place that had traumatized them to such a high degree, was now destroyed. The acacia's branches had withered. The sage and lavender leaves were dry and brittle. And the stones had crumbled. Fog, once again, filtered through fence. And the stench that followed was revolting. In the middle of the courtyard is the amorphophallus titanum; otherwise known as the corpse flower. Victors, grieving their oasis, wear gas masks, as the scent enough was able to make them retch. It was too reminiscent of the nauseating aroma of the arena. Due to the flower's stench, thousands of scavengers crawl towards it. Mutated cockroaches, beetles, flies, swarm in- and the victors take their leave. The insects are almost the same size as you. The torn-up dirt beneath you filthied your paws. The gamemakers observe above you, safe from the miasma and squalor in their luxurious viewing box. Some laugh at you, their voices echoing in your ears. Most, you recognize. However... the ones that pity you seem new. In this gamemaker's session, you will show not only your mental tenacity, but your ability to evade organisms and objects that strike your worst fear- death. Your objective is to reach inside the blooming flower, and to steal it's fake, fleshy heart. Display your skill by evading the rotting plants and vines that attempt to ensnare you, as well as the dozens of insects that want to get to the heart before you do. You will be given a singular weapon of your choice to face the lively insects and creatures. Display your talent, and catch their eye. Good luck. May the odds ever be in your favor. --- This gamemaker will be graded on a scale of 1-12.
