The Tribute on Fire discussion

((Immeant Adele could just help in the fight in general.))

((Bye guys, I'm getting off...))

((Bye))

((What did I miss with Mihr/Minny? I cannot read through seventy posts!))

((Oh okay))

Say Mihr had been looking up, the way she should have been looking as Minny threw the knife at the rope, which she should have been doing, she could have saved herself from a lot of injuries. There were the sparks that landed on her arms and some of her legs. There were the fragments of glass that lodged there way into her skin. Not to mention the load of blood loose pieces of the light had rained down on her- oh, and the blood. See, Mihr was not immune to everything as she thought and said. The girl was way too over confident for her own good. But she had actually escaped the worst- the entire light itself crashing on her. And all she had to do to escape that, was run down a few stairs after Minny, and ignore her now pounding headache and pain from her now debris injured feet. "You little b*tch!" Mihr cried out, her half crescent knife out once more.

((Sorry! I'm confused, where are we right now? Still near the Cornicupia, because now it sounds like we are inside.))

((Haha thanks!))

"Me? Oh, I believe that the light suited your hair much better, don't you just agree?" Mid sentence, with Minny's eye on her face and not her knife for a few seconds, Mihr lunged towards her, knife tilted at just the right angle and the hilt held in such a way that the blow would be painful, no matter where it hit.

"It does look better on blondes, I suppose." Mihr said, already tired of the joke but playing along anyhow. Her iron gaze locked on Minny's wound and she smiled. An evil, cruel, knowing smile. She wanted to turn off the lights so that then she could take Minny by surprise and attack her in the dark. Now, where was that switch?

Mihr yelped, but managed a smirk. Any glass that hit her clothing just bounced off because of the material, but her arms were caught very much. She then saw the power switch, and threw her knife and aimed for it, wincing at the pain of the glass digging into her bare skin. The moment the blade of the knife hit the switch, the area Minny and Mihr were in burst into flames starting from the switch. And, as Mihr had wished, the power went out. She used the scarf around her neck to prevent herself from smoke inhalation and walked towards where she last saw Minny and started punching and hitting the air, in which her scarf began to fall off.

[epic battle]

((Alice, The knife was at the point of the fire, and Minny would have had to have really struggled to get to it and in the least should have suffered burns and stuff))

((Um, I hate to be rude, but we're down to the last few so you guys are going to have to let your tributes die. It's just how these arenas work.))

Adele finally decided when the fires started to get out and leave Minny to defend herself. It hurt but Adele believed that she could handle her own out there. She caught Jago's arm, who was still close to her, and yelled, "We need to get out before they bring down the building!"

((Well, I'm glad y'all are on board with keeping Adele alive ;D I see it as maybe....urgh!! I don't know!!!))

((Okay guys I understand if Adele has to die but I really don't want her to. She is my first rp character ever and I really feel connected to her...you know what I mean??))

((I agree. :())

((So who's going to be in the final battle? Maybe we should have a poll to decide??))

((Thanks Sora. :) but I still want her to win and I'll try my best and keep it fair. By the way, I like Lillibet as a name ;) ))

((Thanks, and I think so too, obvi ))

((Yeah, maybe after Adele gets out of this building she can run into her kill-off?))

((Uh guys you know that everyone who's alive and dead is on the sponsors page right? I've been crossing them out when they've been dying... And I agree with you that it should be Mihr and Linadel in the finale, but I don't know about the third.))

((Sage isn't dead...))

((She didn't say anything. So I'm still under the assumption that Sage is alive.))

((Sage is alive but she is now a kill-off))

((I'm fine with Jago not winning, as long is his death is MAJESTICALLY FABULOUS, 'kay?))

((Sorry, but she isn't. If someone doesn't make it clear they killed someone, it real shouldn't count, anyways. But she is a kill-off))

Sage wrote: "((Alice, if you're the only one saying she's dead, I am not so sure she is. Sorry, I trust you, but majority rules, sadly, in this unkind society.))"

((Julane, Adele was talking to Jago...))

((Whoops. sorry!))

"But, Minny--" He faltered. If they stayed, they wouldn't be able to help the girl anyways. "Alright. Hurry!"

He grabbed Adele's hand, and sprinted. He was taller than her, and his strides were longer.

They yanked open the building staircase door, and sprinted down. Hot air and smoke enveloped them. He held onto her hand, tight, and jerked his free hand away from the scalding metal of the banister. He felt the unnatural flames pursuing them. One flame licked at their feet.

Adele held on to Jago like a vise because he was holding the banister. She was really starting to freak out, her fear of fire finally kicking in.

"My parents, burned to a crisp, nothing but ashes."

She didn't realize she was saying it over and over.

Adele screamed when she felt someone bump into her.

Adele knew it was Minny behind her, but right then she could only think of the terror searing through her body and shocking into her bones. She was frozen in fear.

Adele's frozen legs moved at Minny's screaming and pulling and they ran together down the stairs.

As they ran out Adele ran straight into another tribute. The boy had a bloody knife in his hand and Adele vaguely recognized him as from district 6. In her fear induced delirium she didn't think but threw her axe straight at his chest. He died instantly.

((There's her kill-off))

Jago breathed deeply. He was vaguely aware of his hand clamped in Adele's, Adele repeating how her parents died, Adele throwing an axe at a boy's chest... He pushed Adele out of a trance and out of the burning building, but the fire was still there, spreading like... well, like a wildfire. He ran and ran, occasionally shoving Minny or Adele forward if they slowed down, because he didn't want to lose either of them.

The three of them didn't see any pursuers, and made it past the fire line. Finally, finally it was clean air, again.

Minny and he and Adele were all blackened and smelt of smoke, tears cutting trails down there faces.

He was aware of a weird gulping sound, and realised it was himself. Then he heard hysteria,Adele's voice reapeating, over and over again,

"My parents, burned to a crisp, nothing but ashes."

He wrapped his arms around her, and then Minny, and they stood there, wheezing for breath, coughing up blood and bile and smelling charred hair, never wanting to see a flame again.

((Dinner? What time is it where you live??))

They stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Or maybe just a minute or two.

"W-W-We need t-to check for-for burns..." Jago rasped.

((Now what did I miss??))

((Oh. Could you please explain what a lot means? And no. I was about to have Mihr kill her on my next post))

((And nobody else has killed her either as it was my claim...was that what that argument about Sage/Mihr was about?))

((Oh okay...I'll post in a few minutes))

How Minny and the rest managed to exit the building, Mihr wasn't sure. But she did remember that there was still Sage by the Coruncopia, and she could kill her. She ran through the flames, and her skin tingled and burned and burst with pain from all of the flames. But Mihr focused on making it to the top. The flames were just beginning to lick the top of the skyscraper. She saw Sage and with a quick movement or two, the knife in her hand was lodged into the girls' back. Poor girl, she thought, she should always watch her back. She retrieved her knife, the glass was beginning to hurt more and more and the burns were blistering and painful. But Mihr just had to ignore that. She was ready to get to safety now. Suddenly, the building rumbled and began to crumble.

Seeing no other solution, Mihr jumped.

Adele followed Minny and Jago's pushes to some sort of building. She would have normally check it closely, but she was still traumatized by the fire. She was still repeating the sentence.
"My parents, burned to a crisp, nothing but ashes."
She tried to stop but she couldn't. She tried to stop trembling and her body wouldn't obey her.

Adele was finally able to stop repeating the sentence, but she still trembled. She was able to follow Minny and Jago okay.

Adele walked into the green building then sat on the floor. She put her head in her hands and gathered her wits enough to whisper, "I'm sorry, guys."

Adele smiled wobbled. "I could have gotten us killed. You should have left me on my own."

Adele wrapped her arms around Minny. "Me too. But we can't cry now. Once one of us gets out they can cry then. But it will be one of us."

"What?" Adele asked, suddenly weary of the day and of the games and of the life they all had to live under the President.

((Hah! Okay you can sleep on it, I won't kill you ;) ))

"Goodnight." Adele said to Minny. Then she turned to Jago, "Should I take first watch?"

"Guys, we're okay, it's a-all right to be shaken up."

He did as Minny had instructed them. He saw that both he and Adele had burns on the backs of their legs from the flames behind them.
