Isabella woke to find it still dark outside. She grabbed her supplies, knowing Annyong was outside one of the entrances into the pyramid. She pondered the thought of killing him and getting it over with, but ultimately decided against it. She exited out the North exit, sighing in relief when there was no trap or waiting tribute. She immediately turned west and headed toward the sanctuary to find something of use there. 

Annyong crawled out of his whole, frustrated that his trap was not put to use when Isabella didn’t take the south exit. He gathered his supplies, including his newly aquired grappling hook, and scaled the wall of the pyramid, sitting at the top and scouting for tributes like Wutang once did. 

From the distance they heard a canon fire and minutes later another fire, indicating the final three were soon to come together to fight to the death.

Harper saw the gas as she was out hunting for food. She immediately began to run far from it but realized it was too quick to outrun. Instead she ran to a wall and began to climb as fast as she could. Though it was a thick haze, she could feel it creep up on her. She climbed and climbes until she felt the edge of the top of the canyon. Pulling herself over, she laid there for a moment to catch her breath. For now, she was safe. 

Skyler wasn’t as lucky. She saw Cecily run out out of the canyon and decided to pursue, however she was hit face first with the haze of deadly tear gas. Immediately feeling the effects of the capitol enhanced gas, she tried to find a way out but there was none. The gas burned her skin, blinded her, and burned the inside of her mouth. She couldn’t even scream as she fell to the ground and her canon fired. 

I ended up working both of my jobs on Tuesday, didn’t get home until 1:30-2am, just to be up and back at my day job at 6am. So in other words: I was awake from 40 of the last 48 hours…Family forced me to lay down when I got hom at 6 last night….I just woke up ten minutes ago. So…Sorry, but your posts are coming within the hour.

Excuse me, your task was due last night.

And I am currently at work. You will have your posts sometime tomorrow.

They will be announced at the end of this game.

5 of you remain. 

The canyon has been hit with tear gas. To the tributes in the canyon: How do you proceed? Do you stay and find a way to tough it out or do you retreat to another area? 

I can tell you know at least two of you will die the next task, so make sure you convince me why you should live. 

Your task is due MONDAY AT MIDNIGHT EST (9pm PST)

Isabella trekked through the sand as fast as she could, thankful that she was still pretty fast. A parachute fell in front of her, holding a bottle of water, trail mix, and a small container of ointment. She put the ointment on her cut leg and sipped at the water and ate some of the trail mix. Feeling a bit better and in less pain, she moved just a tad faster toward the pyramid. 

When she arrived she heard distantly from the top Wutang singing, quite off key, about how he could have at it all rolling in the deep. Isabella shook her head in confusion, wondering what the hell he was talking about.

 She walked around the pyramid, climbing up the south wall as quietly as possible. When she reached the top, she found Wutang facing the other direction, this time wailing out “NEVERMIND I’LL FIND SOMEONE LIKE YOOOOOOOOOOU.” Isabella crept behind him, bringing her knife and and pushing the blade to his neck. The singing was stopped short as she whispered in his ear. 

“I hate to show up out of the blue uninvited, buddy, but it’s that time.” With a quick jerk of her arm, the brought the blade across Wutang’s neck, spraying blood everywhere and kicking the body down the pyramid’s side. 

Isabella mumbled “Quick and painless…” as she started the journey back down the south wall and into the Pyramid itself. 

Annyong arrived just moments after, watching the hovercraft take Wutang’s body. Annyong then took his shovel and dug into the sand at the base of the pyramid, searching for cooler temperature. He armed himself, ready to attack if needed. 

The canyons grew hotter as the day went on. Cora decided to walk through the canyon a little more, but unfortunately that was a bad idea. 

She walked past a cave-like structure and was shot in the leg with an arrow. She screamed in pain, looking around frantically for where the arrow came from. That was when another one found it’s way in her chest, this one was on fire at the end, making her clothes catch fire and burn her skin. She screamed louder, falling to the ground and rolling around to try and put the fire out. The last of her strength died out and her cannon fired. 

Harper creeped out of her cave, picking up some more dried leaves to catch on fire in case more tributes come by. She retrieved her two arrows and ran back into her cave, awaiting more targets. 

Skyler stayed in her crevice all day, ready to attack anyone should they spot her. 

Cecily had other plans, standing at the mouth of the canyon. She was in this to win it and nothing would stand in her way. A silver parachute landed in front of her. Inside it was a gas mask and a tear gas bomb. Cecily slipped the gas mask on and crept into the canyon, throwing the bomb as far as she should. The moment it set off, she turned and ran out of the canyon and headed east into the desert to wait out. 

The tear gas bomb definitely had it’s Capitol’s signature on it. The smoke crept around the corners and down the paths in the canyon, no one was safe. 

Thank you!! :] 

Thank you! I passed with with flying colors, yay! Working on posts now. Should be easy since a few one didn’t submit…
