All Is Lost

Against better judgement, I begin cautiously following behind the neon frogs.

As you follow the frogs, you become aware of a sinking feeling that… perhaps… you have seen some of these trees before. Ahead of you, you spot an exit that leads out of the forest. Walking out, you notice that you have effectively ended up right back you started, only this time out of another entrance.

“Goddammit,” I sigh to myself as i come to the realization I just went it circles. I spent a whole day doing fuck all and everyone across the nation watched me. How am I alive?

Seeing as I have no other options, I crawl back to the tree-line and begin climbing the nearest tree in hopes of finding a good spot so I can rest up for the night. I wasn’t much a climber but the tree sort of molded to my feet it seemed, allowing me to get a lot further than I anticipated. Before I knew it I must have been 30 feet off the the ground. Good thing too, I wouldn’t want some sneaky bitch ass snake to gut me in my sleep. I quite like my insides where they are.

I quickly fashion my net and machete securely to my side and try to shut my eyes after I settle on a broad branch. If I did get sleep it wouldn’t be much so heres to trying. Lets see what tomorrow brings shall we?

Fuck it, lets go lefty loosey in this bitch.

As you turn left, you notice something strange beginning to happen. All around you, teeny-tiny frogs start to appear. Some hop off of trees, others pop out of bushes. Regardless of where they came from, all of them are glowing like lights. Just as soon as they came, away they go, heading down another path. What do you do? Do you follow them, or do you go down the other path opposite of the frogs?

Against better judgement, I begin cautiously following behind the neon frogs.

As he wanders about in the neon forest, Dory suddenly finds himself face to face with a sponsor gift. Inside the silver container is a large fishing net and a machete. There is no note.

Anyways, I ignore the thought of going after him and continue on in my centered path, allowing the neon lights guide the way through the darkness. This time I decide to add searching for shelter in my list things to do, seeing as I literally don’t have anything on me.

After avoiding a potentially nasty encounter with another tribute, you continue on. Soon, you come across a fork in the road. You can choose to head right or left. Which way do you go?

Fuck it, lets go lefty loosey in this bitch.

With a hop and skip I take the center path, taking in the surroundings before me.

Choosing the center path, you make your way further into the path, slowly becoming engulfed in darkness as you go, but at the same time, you can make out more and more neon lights all around you. As you walk, however, you notice that you are not alone. There, ahead of you is Shepard. You notice him just as quickly as he notices you. You make eye contact. What do you do? Do you confront one another, do you choose to make an alliance, or do you go separate ways and leave each other alone? Consult with each other, and then, after you make a decision, respond to us and we shall intervene if necessary.

As I make my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass, I feel like I’m homebound. Wait a second, fuck homebound I actually just a saw a face. It was just a blur but I was able to make out it was the boy from Three, running past me like a bat out of hell. It was almost comical in a way, the way we both saw each other and unanimously decided to do fuck all else where. We truly have outdone ourselves.

I arrive posthaste just on the other side of the bridge and begin scanning the horizon for any kind of trouble; Also some kind of weapon would be dandy here too so I start to look for that.

After a few minutes of running, you make it across the bridge and find yourself faced with a large amount of trees. If you look hard and close enough, you will be able to see some various neon lights coming from deep within the forest. Before you, there are three different paths. What do you do? Do you take the right path, the center path, or the left path?

With three paths in front of me, what’s a guy to do? Obviously I’m not in the right mental state to be picking these choices for myself so I’m going to leave it to chance; Or at least a nursery rhyme.

“Eenie meenie miney mo catch a tiger by the toe if he hollars let him go my momma chooses the very best one and you are not it.”

After my rhyme ends I notice that my finger has landed on the path in the center. Since my momma selfishly left me too early I’m going against that ancient nursery rhyme advice and pick that one. With a hop and skip I take the center path, taking in the surroundings before me.

With the bitterness of the cold hot on my heels I knew one thing was certain, I have to get the hell out of here. Somewhere between watching the others make a kill and the adrenaline of it all, I incidentally find myself in some kind of frozen tundra. I am use to warm tropical temperatures, not staring face down a direct cum shot from the abominable snowman.

With absolutely nothing in tow, I had nothing to loose, so I change my direction and head back towards the bridge where we all started. It would be dumb as hell to stick around the bloodbath island so I take a turn west this time around, sprinting as fast as possible to surpass any other tribute in my wake.

Charlie looked between the other tributes making conversation and his eyes widened. This was it; this was really it now and suddenly it shocked him a lot more than before. The entire arena around him was unlike anything he’d ever experienced but like a good soldier, his mind was already formulating ideas. “G-Good luck…everyone…” he blurted out not caring if it interrupted high tension conversations, sending a nod towards the general direction outwards.

Jared’s platform rose up, only to see Kendall to his left and Astrid to his right. He turned to his District Partner. “You’re going down, rebel bitch.” The girl glared daggers at him. All around him where the other Tributes. “How many peasants can you put in a fucking Arena… sheesh.” The area around him was weird looking. As far as Jared was concerned, he didn’t drink or smoke anything the day before. It must just be the Game Makers entertaining the other druggies.

“You’re all so fascinating,” Dory calls out.

“Also, I don’t know where I got food.”

Dory Murdock Interview

Glint: Let's start this shindig off with a bang shall we? *audience claps* From the luxurious halls of District One, please help me in welcoming the oh so lovely, Juno!

Dory: *interrupts the line up order of Districts and walks out on stage with a smug smile* Hiya pal.

Glint: *crowd claps but comes to a halt seeing a male on stage* Um, I'm sorry folks, this is obviously not Juno. It seems as though District Four's Dory Murdock has decided to join us. *nervously smiles*

Dory: Yeah, I thought I'd shake things up. What's life without a little chaos?

Glint: *takes cue from camera man and thinks on her feet* Well it's a little unorthodox to our schedule but what the hell, we're all here for a good time aren't we? *crowd roars with applause* Jumping right into it, tell me Dory, are you having a nice time at the Capitol?

Dory: Uh yeah, pretty nice pad, great food, all the trimmings. You guys sure as hell pulled out all the stops in preparation for our death.

Glint: Well we try not to think of that way Mr. Murdock, just remember we all serve our purposes. Some good and some bad.

Dory: *arrogantly laughs* Oh man, that's definitely noted. I feel like I'm just one in a line of hundreds to die.

Glint: Uh-huh. *overly fake laughs* Well since you have changed our plans and are acting like a bit of an arrogant dick, we're having to cut you short, any last words?

Dory: *rolls eyes* Ummm yeah, as a matter of fact I do. *looks into camera* Our stories aren't fairytales, this is real, we are real, flesh and bone. All I ask is don't forget us.

Glint: *claps along with the audience* I'm sure we won't Dory, with a face like that you will be remembered. Thank you for the time. Please, one more round of applause for Dory Murdock!

Dory: *walks off stage as he drowns out the sound of the audience roaring applause*

Operation- Did some kewl shit at the first aid station, learned valuable information in like five seconds. Eat, Pray, Love. Also a Rat was there.

“Neither do I, but if either one of us gets fluid in our lungs at least we’ll know the technical term. I think our buddy here is past salvageable but I can show ya how to stitch a wound. Kinda my thing, you know, textiles and shit.” I offered.

“Yea, Eight was kind of a war zone compared to say where you’re from.” I knew One, Two an Four were the wealthier Districts from what I learned in school, but as far as what happened during the war out there I was clueless. I had to bite my tongue telling him I still more or less lived with a group of rebels then and now, everything was still fresh in thought to me “Sorry to hear. That bad out there?”

I never knew much about Eight but I did know they got some of the worst of it during the war. I guess someone was just louder than the rest they set an example out of them. Here I am acting like Four had the worst of it but in hindsight it’s probably well off. Funny how everything is just a manner of perspective.

“I mean, I’m probably acting like a bitch,” I let out with a laugh. “But I don’t know, how does one recover from being raised in that?”

I skim through the book some more, reading about how to get fluid of your lungs in an emergency.

Operation || First Aid || Ratsis & Dory

“I’ll even get your name and buy you a drink.” I said as the guy with the number 4 stitched to his shirt, “Name’s Rat, from Eight.” I said pulling my hand out of he gelatinous dummy and shaking the shit it was covered in off to the side, “Deal with much of this on the sea, um, first aid that is.”

I grabbed a bundle of supplies from the table and brought them over to our dead guy, “I doubt anyone’ll survive something like this, but here’s to hoping.” I said opening a book and looking for something with rib injuries and surgeries, “With the amount of shit I saw during the war anything is possible at this point.”

With a wink and a smile, I let out a laugh, “Dory.”

I follow his lead and look into a random book about creating stitches with twine and other fast remedies for survival. I may not know much but the wound Rat left in the dummy would probably be a game changer if were real. “I mean your basic first aid sure, but I sure as shit know nothing about... pulmonary edemas,” I respond pointing to my book.

“You remember the war well huh? Sad to say it all kind of blurred together for me, at least after my parents bit the dust.”

Admittedly I didn’t get to explore the first aid station as much as I would have liked to thanks to the fucking fruit from Eleven frolicking around the entire time. Seeing as how the place was starting to clear out I decided to capitalize on the peace and quiet.

Before I hit the books I wanted to poke around some more with that life-sized dummy the fruit and I were working with the other day. It was in tack for the most part, I guess whoever was here before me did a decent job patching it up. Wanting to make some fun for myself I picked up a pair of scissors and plunged it into the dummy’s body. I then stuck my hand into the wound and stretched it a bit, causing a rib to stick out and coating my hand in fake blood and whatever the fuck else was in here.

I laughed slightly at myself realizing how ridiculous what I was doing was, looking up to see another guy watching me, “Wanna play doctor?” I asked.
