[crows]

[align=center][align=center][div style="0px; width:450px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]Welcome all to the 1st annual Flintlock Hunger Games! In a terrible alternate universe, the Flintlock crew has been placed and sorted into Panem, doomed to fight against each other to receive glory, prestige, and lifelong PTSD.

How this works is easy: you give me your characters, I put their names into the iconic Hunger Games simulator, I write out the prompts given! I will be posting one to two posts per day regarding the events of the day (Reaping not included).

Please be aware this AU will be TW'D in advance, for blood, murder, child death, literally all violence, and any specific TWs will be given with the post.

Please post below if you want to follow along as your characters inevitably die and murder one another! The current tributes are as follows:

May the luck be towards your Districts." The woman standing in front of the hungry, empty-eyed District is too.. fake. Capitol people usually are. "This year, we will be selecting two brave citizens to represent your District." The crow feathers woven into her dress shimmer and shudder as she steps forwards to the bowl; her smile like a shark as she ruffles around in the bowl for a moment.

The Hunger Games, a recent initiative begun by the Capitol to remind everyone of the sins of war. It's fairly new, and sure, there's some kinks to be worked out - but isn't that what this year is meant for? The woman pauses for dramatic effect, before pulling out the strip of paper and reading it carefully aloud.

"Our first tribute is Hayley Chase-Kenner!" A mutter throughout the crowd as a woman steps forward. A gasp, then angered murmurs as they recognize her swollen belly. Ah, perhaps they'd picked someone a little too old for the Games. Undeterred by the pregnant woman, the executioner-host pulls out another name. Her voice falters slightly, because even Capitol people have emotions.

"Jackson.. Kenner."

Louder grumbles. District 1 has officially lost their first family to the Games. The man and woman look stoic as they meet each other on stage, hands clasped tightly together. The woman smiles sympathetically at them, pretending not to notice the venomous stares and knuckle-white fists.

"Church Bradshaw!" A man gets up slowly, face white, but thankfully calm. District 2, mercifully, is quiet. Perhaps the man hasn't realized what this means, perhaps this man is thinking about a child, and a wife... "Kelly Halstead!" A child's scream rings out, and Kelly has to be pulled away from a group of youth of varying ages in order for him to even walk to the stage.

"Michael Reynolds" (be brave, be brave a voice whispered to the boy is heard on the microphone) and all the boy can think is please, God, (but God doesn't care) and suddenly Dallas Darrow is the next words cried by the woman in black, and District 3 looks ready to kill -

Damien Hitchcock doesn't say a thing as he gets up (his father laughs - croaking, mocking, he doesn't believe his only son is leaving), "Ryan Kowalski" (a man, brave as one could be while holding back a scream, eyes watering as he shakes Damien's cold hand), and the two of them stare at each other, ready to do District 4.... some kind of honor.

Brothers are picked next much to the dismay of District 5 (why are there so many siblings? The reaper wonders, but she's learned not to question "blind luck"), Cane and Marley Dogson. They hold each other tight, both wondering how the hell they got into this mess.

Lucas Simmons, Eloise Overton, the reaper is thankful District 6 is more balanced, the calm, hardened expression of the boy and the quiet resolve of Eloise makes the reaper hope that maybe next year, they can prevent sibling dynamics in the Games.

District 7 and 8 hit the jackpot, all of the Callaghan siblings are chosen. The Capitol guards have to... resolve the riot that almost begins as a result, and Brooks, Genesis, Shepherd, and Winter Callaghan are sent away, knowing that their worst nightmare has just begun.

"Amity Wilde?" A young girl who's not afraid to walk up drying her eyes, and "Brendan Collins?" a young boy that has to be dragged to the stage kicking and screaming. It's easy to tell who's the likely candidate for District 9. The reaper can't help but laugh at the antics, and a twinge of guilt seems to gnaw at her.

Abd Al-Malik Abatangelo, Mickey Serge, young men in their prime that hail from District 10. They're calm, collected, they shake hands coolly, they don't make a fuss, and they ignore any attempts at light hearted jokes that the crow woman tries to make.

"Harrison Rose" is the name called, and an agonized "No!" comes from the crowd (but too late). Soon, the screamer is called too, and Elinor Rose clings tightly to Harrison, the two of them refusing to let go, no matter if it embarrasses District 11, even if it means the worse for them.

Edmund Moray and Blake Kegan are called, and the wail of twins becomes too loud for the members of District 12, and the shiny ring on Blake's ring finger becomes too bright.

The reaping is complete. "Welcome, new tributes of Panem." The bright shark smile is on the reaper's face, and just like that, the Hunger Games have begun.

[align=center][div style="0px; width:450px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]The Games have begun. Fear is visible in each tribute's eyes as they realize that this is real, this is a tangible event that only one of them will survive.

Three, two, one.

The horn sounds, and the tributes are off like a shot. Eloise Overton of District 6 immediately darts towards the Cornucopia, grim determination in her eyes. Lucas, her partner darts towards the woods, but holds back, waiting for her to grab the silvery sickle from the golden building, refusing the temptation of anything else inside. She's in for a moment, and then leaves, sprinting to catch up with Lucas.

Kelly has the same idea, run. The mountains look intimidating, but nobody else is running towards them. The further he stays away from others, the safer he'll be. Here, in the games, you can't trust anyone - Kelly is sure of that. So, he ignores anything that the Cornucopia could provide, and escapes unharmed.

Brooks and Genesis Callaghan of District 7 work as a team, smoothly weaving through fighters and runners as they dart towards the edges, seeking anything in the grass. Brooks grabs a rag and a bottle of cleaning alcohol, Genesis grabs a random backpack that's heavy (she almost drops it). By the time they make it into the woods, Genesis opens up the pack and realizes that it's camping gear, a tent that could fit all four Callaghan siblings, if they needed.

Malik knows what he needs. It's simple, if you can't make a fire, if you can't make a trap, you're doomed. The weapons are ignored for favor of a lighter and rope, and Malik's done. He darts towards the forests, where he knows his traps can be hidden under leaves and more importantly, Malik will stay camouflaged.

Winter Callaghan from District 8 takes off to the woods, refusing to participate in the bloodbath that is taking place in front of his eyes. The Capitol can force Winter into this world, but they can't change him. The woods look strangely beautiful, bright red and orange leaves grace the trees in the middle of summer, and Winter can hear the call of birds that sound strangely like human voices.

Dallas Darrow of District 3 is afraid, but not a fool. She knows the Cornucopia is packed with goodies, she just doesn't have to go straight in. A silvery shield is the first thing she spots as soon as she steps off her podium, and she remembers how few tributes were looking for defensive items during training. Sure enough, she's able to take the shield without issue, and hightail it away from the Cornucopia.

Marley Dogson of District 5 knows what he has to do. He knows his chances - better yet, he knows his brother's chances. Marley knows what the Games do - he knows that brother against brother is a very real thing here. However, he knows another thing: the less people, the better. For himself, or for Cane. So, as he spots Church Bradshaw of District 2 rooting around in a container of supplies in the Cornucopia, he places his hands firmly around the other man's head, and twists sharply to the right. Snap. Church didn't even have time to realize what happened.

Ryan Kowalski (District 4) doesn't even think, he runs. His feet beat a quick rhythm until he reaches a pond in the middle of the forest. He stops, taking in the scenery, nervously looking around for any danger. He doesn't realize he's had a shadow until Damien Hitchcock, his District partner steps behind him, carrying a backpack splattered with blood. "Partners?" Damien says, holding out a hand. Ryan accepts.

"You and that baby'll last five minutes." The sneer comes from Harrison Rose of District 11, and Hayley Chase-Kenner of District 1 is backed into a corner, watching Harrison and Cane Dogson of District 5 advance. "We're just doing a fav-" The snarl is cut short, as Harrison realizes he has other things to worry about. For example, the sword poking out of his stomach. This gives Hayley the advantage she needs- pushing herself up and onto Cane, she starts battering the man with her fists, angry and desperate and animalistic, her fists bashing against Cane's windpipe until she stops punching, and starts squeezing. As she gets up from the corpse, she watches Jackson Chase clean blood off the sword he's wielding. The couple smile at each other, before gathering supplies and running away from the Cornucopia.

Brendan Collins didn't need anything from the Cornucopia. All he needed was his wits, his District 9 partner Amity Wilde, and probably a nice stick. They'd made plans to meet somewhere, and as they'd stood on their platforms, they'd both gestured towards the mountain. The two of them run, not bothering to pick up anything - they're small, and Brendan knows they'll be able to find some food soon.

"Hey!" As Mickey Serge of District 10 runs away from the Cornucopia, he's caught off-guard by a voice. Elinor Rose of District 11's voice, to be exact. "Truce?" She's in tow with Shepherd Callaghan of District 8, and the three stare each other off for a moment. "Truce." Mickey finally allows, watching the two carefully. "Neither of us have supplies." Shepherd adds, and Mickey chuckles. "Neither do I."

Blake Kegan (District 12) isn't afraid of a little blood. The Cornucopia is filled with items, and she's desperate to make sure she's not flying blind. Sure enough, the place clears up, and Blake takes her time selecting a spear from inside the Cornucopia. As she strolls out of the building, she finds Edmund Moray holding a bow, and a quiver full of arrows. The two smile at each other, and somehow - the Games seem a little bit better knowing they have some kind of advantage.

Michael Reynolds of District 3 started late, and he's paying for it. Afraid of the bloodbath happening, Michael hung back, watching, waiting, carefully until he finally made a run for it, desperately avoiding anyone to grab a backpack that seemed light enough for him to run with. It wasn't until he made it to the edge of the field that he realized it's entirely empty.
