Episode 1 - The Massacre at the Cornucopia

And then it's the day of the Hunger games!

District 5.

Hunter: Remember to get out of there as fast as possible after grabbing a bag or a weapon.

Diana: Which way must I run? South, west, north, or east?

Hunter: Just run south until you find a place to hide, I will get you there.

Diana: What if we miss each other?

Hunter: Then I will get you at the Cornucopia tomorrow. Just beware of the other tributes. They could be armed!

District 4.

Lea: I'm scared...

Donovan: So am I... I think we should try and make an alliance with Darin and Shawna from District 2. The more people we are the better to survive!

Lea: You know we can't stick together forever?

Donovan: Yeah, I know... But at least we can stay alive for more than one day!

District 3.

Mick: I think we should just run for the woods and hide there until everybody is dead!

Gertie: You may eventually run out of food and die if you stay in one place! I'm going to grab something before running into the woods.

Mick: They say there is food and water at the lake. I can maybe hide out there.

Gertie: Mmm... What if someone else got the same idea?

Mick: Hopefully they're open for an alliance, then!

District 2.

Darin: We should stick together. What do you think?

Shawna: Sounds like a great idea. Should we get some stuff or run into the woods after the bell rings?

Darin: Run for the woods!

Shawna: Okay, I will look out for you and follow the leader...

District 1.

Jürgen: Are we staying together?

Ella: We can try but I'm going for weapons before running into the woods.

Jürgen: Yeah, it will help a lot if we can get food and weapons!

Ella: Good luck to both of us!

District 6

Sonya: Should we stick together or go our own ways?

Mitchell: Yeah, we should, just run north after the bell rings!

Sonya: Okay, but I hope we will be able to get food and weapons first at the Cornucopia.

Mitchell: I think we must just leave the area and run for the woods, it's dangerous at the Cornucopia and someone may kill you!

Sonya: Maybe you're right. We can get food and water somewhere else.

District 7.

Leif: I think we should make alliances with some of the other tributes. What about Loki and Kezia from District 10?

Maple: You can if you want to, but I'm happy to be alone all by myself!

Leif: Oh, yeah, I forgot you are one strong, and tough lady that can survive on her own!

Maple: I prefer that! Thank you very much!

District 8.

Stacey: I can't believe we are 2 hours away from the Hunger Games? Are you scared?

Gregoria: Maybe a tiny little bit... Are you?

Stacey: Hell yeah! It feels like a terrible nightmare!

Gregoria: Yeah, I wish it was and that we could wake up in our beds safe at home...

District 9:

With a swish and a flick, Mirrari's hair is perfect for the occasion. It had been a long decision process. Pink but not too pink, curly but only to hint at mystique. Vivacious, but also playful. She is an ambassador for the bakery after all, and if she's going to be killing people it would be a poor show not to do herself up for the occasion.

Mirrari: Don't I look fabulous, Rosco?

There is no response from the shallow-bearded mope.

Mirrari: Oh, why must you be such a dopey dope? Come on, get excited! We're going to be on television!

Rosco sighs heavily.

Rosco: Rari-girl, you just don't get it. My face ain't fit for a screen that big, not anymore…

Mirrari scratches her head.

Mirrari: You mean your beard? You don't want to go on television because your beard is too small?

Rosco: Okay okay now that's no way to put it Rari. I don't want to be on television for the murdering firstly. But yes my beard is one of those missing links that I was counting on. If you catch my drift.

He stared dejectedly at the floor.

Mirrari: Oh, lighten up. It's just a bit of blood. And besides, hair is easy to grow. Hold still.

Rosco: It's a LOT of blood I won't hesitate to add–

Rosco falls silent, as he feels the most wonderful sensation imaginable tickling across his chin.

Long ago Rosco heard tell of how the ancient fae rose up meadows and trees. How they sprang gardens from their very hands, and carved existence from the lifeless and cold. It feels to him now that his chin has become such a field. So lush and bountiful is the beard that now flowers from its depths.

He turns to the mirror, and admires Mirrari's perfect handiwork with unbridled awe.

Mirrari: See? It's easy.

Rosco: Mirrari-girl, how can I… I cannot begin to thank you enough. Why I could kiss your feet if I thought my lips deserved your… Divine foot funk.

Mirrari holds up a hand to still him.

Mirrari: No need to thank me, silly bean. We're probably going to be the last thing some of those people out there will see before they bleed out. We need to look our most tippity toppity.

Rosco swallows.

Mirrari: Good luck, muffin!

She winks at him and leaves the room.

District 10.

Kezia: I can't believe my parents didn't come for me! Now I have to die!

Loki: Like they said, it's the law! If they chose you, you need to come here and fight it out with the other tributes!

Kezia: The Capitol people are cruel, we need to put a stop to it!

Loki: Maybe one day they will... Who knows?

District 11.

Enrique: Maybe we need to run for the woods? Your idea is crazy and it will get us killed!

Marcia: Just do what I say and everything will work out fine!

Enrique: I'm not happy with it!

Marcia: Nothing will go wrong! Just wait and see!

District 12.

Hannah: Are you sure you just want me to run for the woods? I'm sure I can get a bag or two!

Robert: I don't want you to get stuff. It's too dangerous!

Hannah: But what if you get killed?

Robert: I will be careful! I promise! Just wait for me at a safe place!

And then it's time!

The tributes are looking around and waiting for the bell to ring.

Enrique decided to go for the weapon rack a few meters in front of him.

Hannah already saw a path behind her and decided to go that way. She just hoped Robert will find her!

Donavan also decided that the woods behind him is safer as to fight for stuff at the Cornucopia.

Kezia had her eye on the same weapon rack as Enrique. Who will be there first?

Mitchell decided it will be safer to go into the woods...

Maple got her eye on the bag next to the wooden crates. She just hopes there is valuable stuff in that she can use!

Gregoria saw the weapon rack with bows and decided to go for it!

Shawna decided it will be safe in the woods!

Loki eyed the weapon rack with the bows! Hopefully, he can reach it first!

Diana saw a bag a few meters from her and decides to go for it!

Hunter decided to go for the green bag near the opening of the Cornucopia.

Lea decided to run for the woods. It's much safer!

Mick decided to run for the woods! He will come back later when it's safer!

Mirarri decided to go hide in the woods. She knows she doesn't have the strength to fight for stuff!

Leif can't decide if he wants to grab stuff or run for the woods!

Gertie decided to go for the gun on the table at the entrance of the Cornucopia!

Darin decided it will be safer in the woods!

Marcia has her eyes on the gun on the table. Will she be there first?

Jürgen eyed the green bag next to the crates...

Sonya decided it's safer in the woods!

Rosco can't decide if he wants to fight or run...

Ella got her eye on the rifle next to the Cornucopia...

Robert got his eye on the green bag a few meters from him.

Stacey got her eye on the rifle! Who will get there first?

And then...! The sound of the bell echoing through the morning air of the arena!

And everyone is starting to run!

Some tributes run into the woods and others try to grab some stuff they got their eyes on!

Maple is first at the green bag!

Gertie makes her way to the entrance of the Cornucopia!

Loki arrives first at the weapon rack!

Jürgen got himself a bag!

It's chaos! Tributes are running around looking for stuff!

Stacey is too late for the rifle she eyed and gets a bullet instead!

Hunter got himself a bag and run for the woods.

Gregoria is too late for the bow and gets an arrow in his chest!

Maple runs with her bag into the woods... She's happy that she would be able to treat herself if she gets hurt one way or another. (Immunity)

Marcia is too late for the gun and gets a bullet!

Kezia got the knife first and stabbed Enrique with it when he wanted to take it from her!

Diana got her bag and runs for the woods.

Robert also runs away with a bag on his back!

Later that evening Maple returns to the Cornucopia. It seems quiet for now. Hopefully, it stays that way.

But just then she saw the 4 tributes from Districts 2 and 4 coming her way? Did they see her? She just want to turn around and flee when she heard them calling.

Darin: Hey! We won't hurt you! We just want to talk!

Darin: Maple, from District 7? Right? We want you to join us? Don't you want to form an alliance with us?

Maple: Mmm... Right, and y'all ganging up on me once the rest is gone? Scram off. Or I'll shoot you! *pretending she got a gun on her*

Donavan: We know you don't have a gun. We are also unarmed! Just join us! You will be safer!

Maple decides it's better to run away! She doesn't have the energy to argue with them. *runs off*

Shawna: I guess the answer is no! Her loss!

Darin: Yeah, let's go! Maybe we can persuade someone else...

Lea: Aww, maybe we don't need more people in our group!

And then a white flash:

Tributes: What the hell was that?

The Cave:

Sonya: What is going on there?

The way to the Shack:

Rosco: Let's get the hell out of here!

The Cornucopia:

Maple: OMG! I just missed the meteor shower! If I didn't flee from the tributes I would've been dead! Talking of them... Where are they?

Diane: Wow! Look at this! Luckily I wasn't here when it happened! *Diana has just arrived at the Cornucopia from the woods nearby. She did see the meteors raining on the Cornucopia and was scared it might burn out. But by the looks of it, it was spared. There are just a few space rocks lying around.*

On the way to the Forest:

Ella: Wow! That was scary!

On the way to the Lake:

Jürgen: That was close...! I almost died!

The Tree House:

Mirarri looks closely and with caution when someone is approaching her hideaway.

Gertie sees the pink outline of the fairy wings and knows it must be Mirarri from District 9. Although she sounded bloodthirsty in her interview, Gertie knows she is harmless. By the look of the surroundings, the fairy is alone...

Gertie: Mirarriiii... *she calls her to let her know she's unarmed and safe with her.*

Mirarri: Are you alone?

Gertie: Yeah, I'm alone.

Mirarri: Do you have any food? I'm hungry!

Gertie: Aww... No, but I'm sure there must be something like mushrooms or berries if we look around.

Mirarri: I did look. There's nothing!

Gertie: I'm sure we will get something tomorrow at the lake or forest then!

The Forest:

Hannah hides behind the tree when she sees someone approaching.

But she quickly comes out when she recognizes her husband. "Robert!"

Hannah: I thought you were dead when I saw the meteor shower!

Robert: I am okay! I was not even nearby when it start raining meteors!

Hannah: Did you get something from the Cornucopia?

Robert: Yeah, some dry food for one day. But by the look of this place, I'm sure we can survive for a few more days...

Ella: My, my... If it isn't our married couple from District 12!

Robert: Ella? Are you alone? *and then making sure she isn't armed anymore. The last time he saw her she was armed with a rifle.*

Ella: I don't have the rifle anymore. I threw it away on my way here... It just had ammo for one kill! Useless, stupid, Capitol people! How do they want us to fight and survive this?

Hannah: I'm glad you don't have it anymore! Wait? what? Did you kill someone?

The Shack:

Rosco: Hey, racci... Are you alone here?

Rosco: Can I hold you? Maybe I can eat you? I mean feeding you?

Rosco: Oh well, I don't have something to kill you with... So do you want to join me in the shack...?

The Lake:

Mick was just filling his water bottle when he heard a voice.

Leif: Umm... Are you Mick from District 3?

Mick: Yeah, and you are Leif from District 7?

Leif: Yeah... Do you want to form an alliance?

Hunter: Can I join you guys?

Leif: Yeah, sure! The more the merrier!

Mick: So did you guys get weapons or something useful at the Cornucopia?

Hunter: I got some dry food for one day.

Jürgen: Did you guys see that?

Hunter: What?

Jürgen: The meteor shower! That was amazing! I almost get killed if I didn't run so fast!

Leif: Oh, so that was the noise we heard? Did you get anything at the Cornucopia?

Jürgen: I was lucky and got some medicine. (Immunity) I can treat myself if I get hurt!

Mick: You lucky bitch!

The Cave:

Sonya: Hellooo... Someone there? *listening carefully for suspicious noise. She doesn't want to walk into a bear or other tributes that can harm her*

After a while, she decides it's safe and walks to the cave's entrance. She's all alone here...

The Swamp:

Mitchell can kick himself for not keeping track of Sonya's moves. He doesn't have a clue where she could be. Is she alive, and safe? While hiding between the bushes he heard voices. Then he saw the tributes from District 10 approaching.
