[What is the Hunger Games?]
In these threads, someone may call for “First24/36/48/unlimited”. When that happens, reply to the post with a name and picture of an avatar you want to use as a tribute in a Hunger Games simulation. You should also put gender in case it isn’t clear. From there, just sit back and watch as the host of the game runs the sim and puts your tribute in a fight to the death with all the rest entered!
During games and during downtime, many people RP as their main avatars (or “avas”). It’s not necessary, but it’s recommended to fully feel like you’re in the game. Don’t be shy to just jump right in!
DAY 3
Seems like Junpei has decided direct killing methods don't work.
Animals, too, are distracted by shiny things.
Hope you enjoy cleaning Junkrat's blood off tree bark.
What is the hunger games?
>>8491013
Suckers!
>While he makes his getaway, Barry stops by a vending machine and fishes through his now-empty pockets.
Crap!
>>8491013
More money for pudding!
>>8491036
The community that Archer founded.
>>8490930
>Junkrat stumbles back, somehow holding onto his life. He points a weak, trembling arm at Reigen before collapsing.
S-shot through the heart, mate...and you're to blame...
>Junkrat dies with a smile.
>>8491036
doesn't matter
THE GAMES CHANGE V2 COMIN
>Pet Shop just watches as he dies, grinning all the while.
Krehehehehehehe...
>>8491013
Very well. I have an uncanny talent for this particular game.
>>8491036
Something too many people took too seriously.
>>8491013
>for Gaius, the lake is merely a puddle. He goes his way as if nothing had happened.
>>8491013
What's this bell even do? Is it just a normal bell? Why would anyone just leave a bell here that doesn't do anything?
NIGHT 3
I'd consider that a goal.
LOLIFUCKER ALERT.
Jesus Christ Yukine, how...?
Penguins CAN fly!
>>8491036
I put it in the OP reeeeeeee.
>>8491075
This, too, though.
>>8491013
It's no fair, my arms are stubbier than everyone elses'.
>>8491022 (Weiss)
Sure, a few. But they can't always be there, huh? Or often, for that matter. More often than not it was just me.
>>8491022
You're not a piece of technology!? That's absolutely ludicrous... but, then again... why would som- I-I mean, you're marvelous for a grimoire.
>>8491098
Ooh! Ooh... Ouch.
S-Sorry.
>>8491098
So what, do you want me to change the newspaper at the bottom of it's cage or something?
Post slides and let me win
>>8491098
Saber.
>>8491022
Most tomes only hold one spell
Fire, Thunder, Fimbulvetr, Ragnarok, and Ginnungagap are the main ones.
But having more than 1 spell is really cool!
>>8491122
It's a rare Saber!
>Throws a pokeball
>>8491098
>Alfred just looks down, and back up, having an expression that practically screams "I'm done".
JESUS CHRIST, THAT HURT. HOW IN THE HOLY MOTHER OF BRITANNIA DID YOU MANAGE TO LAND THAT SHOT?!
>>8491098
>>8491118
Oh... He looks like he's hurting really bad...
>To help him out, QP dumps a ton of pudding cups onto Alfred
>>8491098
>Gaius wonders how did the runt do that. He is unharmed nonetheless.
DAY 4
Crushing communism.
I don't know what pwoers Zoolander has but I'm still terrified.
He literally could just breathed on it himself and it still would have fallen.
ANIMAL ABUSE.
Some say his ego also blots out the sun.
>>8491120
And you are?
>>8491056
>Ahri winces.
That looked painful. Are you going to be okay?
>>8491159
>PET SHOP
>STAND: HORUS
>STATUS: RETIRED!
>>8491159
I feel like the big guy did most of the work there.
>>8491134
>Saber deftly sidesteps the ball
I must ask that you refrain from throwing fruit at me, please...
>>8491159
>Gaius simply pokes the pillar with his sword and watches it fall over the bird. No big deal to him.
>>8491159
>>8491159
Nothing that isn't evil could have messed up it's cage like it did, I'm telling you
>>8491182
Oh the huge stone guy absolutely did all the work
>>8491110
How pitiable...
>>8491117
As far as I know, I am purely magical in nature.
...Hmm? Had you a question?
>>8491131
I've not heard of any except the first two as magic! Such interesting changes....
Quite "cool", if you wish to use that word to describe it. And more than useful in the right hands.
NIGHT 4
As if he'd know how to use it.
2hus with guns? Holy shit...
He's used to ghost Pokemon, so I doubt it'd worked.
>>8491159
>QP takes cover in a nearby store and takes all the snacks into a safe room
>>8491204
Tonight.
You.
Krehehehehehe.
>>8491219
BOO!
>>8491219
It looked like some boy's head, right? Don't worry, I think it's gone now.
>>8491159
Man, that was satisfying!
>>8491210
Always was an underdog, always will be. This? This is nothing new at all.
>>8491219
>She also brings a few dozen actual ghosts with her, laughing maniacally all the while.
>>8491131
>forgetting based Fenrir and Nosferatu
>>8491219
>Barry takes one look at the spooks and passes out, twitching on the floor.
>>8491219
You might think he's going to stay spotless, but that's where you're wrong! Even if it's not fair, I'd like to end tonight with a bang!
Stay still, please!
>>8491219
>the giant is perplexed at the strange game the humans are playing. He wonders why his legs are now stained red and blue.
>>8491210
You don't seem all that magical to me.
>She begins to circle around the book, inspecting it carefully.
Why yes, I do have one... and that is why you're even made.
>>8491253
(I was going over them as they were the bronze/iron/steel/silver versions as tomes)
>>8491210
I can use them!
Though I'm not the best..
>>8491256
...Wow, that's pathetic.
DAY 5
Holy shit, Junpei. Holy shit. How...
Now the animals are attacking each other. Grand.
All that loading and reloading paid off.
>>8491256
...Never mind, then.
>>8491310
How... How the heck did he do that?!
>>8491310
>Gaius emits a low rumble before falling to the ground, defeated. The last thing he sees before his life force returns to Dormin is the man revving up a chainsaw.
>>8491310
This pinata sure is hard to hit!
>>8491234
What a creepy bird... wait, did it just threaten me?
>>8491310
>>8491335
I don't know, and I don't want to know, I'm glad it's over though
>>8491310
When they said they painted the town red, I didn't think they meant it literally... Well, someone's going to have to do the dirty work, right? By tomorrow, the whole place will be spotless! Check it out!
I'll just get some water!
>>8491170
>Junkrat remains sprawled out on the ground. He then pats around his chest and feels the wound is no longer there, and rises to his feet.
Take's a lickin', keep's on tickin'! Yeah, that did me in good I feel. Thing's healed up and I'm still feeling it...
>Junkrat's eyes shift left and right and he lets out a nervous laugh.
This ain't the great beyond, is it?
"...Hello."
>>8491251
I'll simply take your word on it then, child.
>>8491297
Well, excuse me if I do not exude magical spells at all times.
>the book rotates as well, keeping his "eyes" on the woman
...To that, I'm afraid I have no complete answer.
>>8491300
Hardly surprising. You rely on your staves after all, no?
I imagine that gets quite cumbersome, does it not?
>>8491353
>The bird simply preens it's feathers, giving Junpei one last death glare
NIGHT 5
Shrike doing his thing...I think. I have no idea who he is, but he just looks like the type of guy to do that.
Really, Junpei? After all that?
That's normal for Yukine.
>>8491310
Junpei must be stopped
>>8491370
Well, I was originally a Troubadour!
Healing on Horseback!
But then I got stronger, and then I was able to use tomes!
Most of the time these staffs are only for healing... Though some can weaken people!
>>8491366
/me unzips
>>8491366
Hi! Do you have any pudding?
>>8491387
O-Owww....
>>8491366
...Dawn? What's up? What are you doing here?
>>8491387
Haha! Get wet!
...
I could've thought of a better line.
>>8491310
So, uh. Was that made of paper?
>>8491366
Hoo boy, no need to look so dramatic and serious about it. Hey, lady.
>>8491370
I'm not THAT young, dammit!
>>8491387
Man. You and I make a surprisingly good team, huh?
>>8491357
>Ahri giggles with a single clap of her hands as he jumps up, then shakes her head.
No. At least... I hope not...
>Her smile fades as she places a hand over her stomach.
It... would make a lot of sense... But we're feeling the injuries we obtain so we must still be alive.
>>8491387
Krehehehehehehehe..
>A bird flies away from the lake which the man is drowning in.
>>8491387
>a garbled "stupid frozen lakes" and "damn you Cirno, this isn't your fault but I'm blaming you" can be heard if you listen closely enough
F E A S T B O Y S
STOP STARVING TO DEATH AT THE FUCKING FEAST, HOLY SHIT.
Are you telling me someone named Hoshi is a dick? Why, I never would believe it...
Yum.
>>8491387
Finally, I cleaned the whole arena! It took a long time, but I finally did it! Now, to finally go home and rest after the lot of it!
...Wait, something seems off--
>>8491366
Good evening. How are you?
>>8491370
>She stops in her tracks, and looks at the book with a puzzled look.
You don't know...? How could that be, you should know what you must do. Didn't your creator... tell you?
>>8491445
... Is there any pudding in that book?
>>8491433
Wait, old Junpei?
>>8491412
>not declassing Elise to sorcerer immediately
>>8491445
S-Stop that! Stop it now! I'll fine you, I'll fine you all!
>runs away crying
>>8491413
"Your zipper seems to be undone, mister."
>>8491418
"Pudding? I'm afraid not, little... one?"
>>8491419
>The familiar voice rang in the girl's ears for a few seconds. Her cold eyes became noticeably... warm once they stopped their fluttering and focused the image of the rowdy blonde in their vision.
"Barry... Good to see you again. I am quite fine, thank you... And I hear that you got into quite the trouble in this place. Is everything alright?"
>>8491421
"I apologize..."
>She seemed to take the little quip to heart; almost-instantly did her stoic features soften up... by only a little.
>>8491452
"I am darling, thank you, miss. And you?"
>>8491412
On horseback? Admittedly, not a bad idea.
... I can feel this conversation going in circles already....
>>8491421
Force of habit for someone that looks like you do.
>>8491462
According to legends, I am a book of light, to seal away the dark power of another grimoire called Grimoire Noir.
Outside of that, I know not what my true purpose is.
Did you ask your parents something like that?
My money's on one of the two blonde-haired, kinda sorta anime boys.
Changing the game really gets to people, y'know?
Oh God, THE DOGGO HAS A GUN.
>>8491478
Enjoy your 2 skill and 5% hit rate you mongoloid.
What a fucking dumb ass post why do I even keep using this website. God damn.
>>8491424
Yeah, I'm thinking you're right. I can't be dead yet, there's still things out there that need to be blown up!
>Junkrat's more confident smile and laughter returns as he brushes off the idea of being dead.
Nah, this place is as real as any! I can feel in in my heart. And I mean, really, really feel it. Kinda burns a little.
>>8491475
>Of course I'm old Junpei. For better or worse I'm gonna stick around here until the end, even if I take the occasional break or two
>>8491478
I know Elise has an amazing magic growth, But c'mon.
Who else can heal as good as Elise?
>>8491491
Whaddya talkin' about?
>>8491489
Oh yeah, I'm fine! This place is weird. Like, if you die here, you don't REALLY die here. Freaky, right?
>>8491496
>his trigger finger starts twitching as he sweats
>>8491445
...I hate this. So much.
>>8491489
Oh, come on, either own it or don't. All I'm gonna do is poke fun at you for it, you know.
>>8491491
Magic can be a pain in the ass, alright? Especially when it messes up the body's normal functions. Like aging.
>>8491496
Alright...I hate this more.
ARENA: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

>>8491509
>Ahri smiles and nods before really thinking about what he said and what it all means.
...Did you just say it burns a little? Are you sure you'll be alright?
>>8491489
Oh... A little tired after the commotion earlier.
>She leans in slightly
It's a long story.
>Straightens up.
But that's about it really...
>>8491489
Oh... And I'm not little! I'm QP!
>>8491496
>There's a sort of glint in her eyes... What that means is a mystery.
Ello-Hello. How's everyone holding up this fine evening?
>>8491539
SON OF A BITCH WHAT THE HELL!? At least do the proper thing and do me in yourself!
>>8491539
What the heck are these things? I gotta get outta here!
>>8491539
>QP goes nutso with the gun and starts shooting everything. Rika being one of the casualties
>>8491491
My parents... y-yes, I did at one point. But, that's in the past and is best left forgotten. Anyways, this grimoire Noir sounds important to you, maybe.
>She let's out a slight yawn, covering her mouth as she does so.
Sorry for that... a little tuckered out.
Enjoy that cargo ship while it lasts, 'cause it all ends next slide. Place your bets while I take a piss.
>>8491552
I'm changing the game. :^)
>>8491572
I FUCKING KNEW IT.
>>8491552
Very carefully.
Welcome back Baki.
>>8491512
Welcome back, you glorious fuck!
>>8491581
Go Barry! Go QP!
>>8491581
Is there any pudding in there?
>>8491552
Hi, mister! I'm doing just fine! Do you have any pudding?
>>8491552
We're-- Well, I'M doing superb! It's been pretty great from what I saw! How's everything, Baki?
>>8491581
You're not Yukine
FUCK YOU
YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO CHANGE THE GAME
>>8491535
I wouldn't know.
I don't age like most beings of flesh, so I do not know that struggle.
>>8491522
Hm? Ah, pay that comment no mind.
Do tell, how did you come to learn to wield magic, young lady?
>>8491579
He's the only other one like myself who could understand our function. So... Yes. I suppose in some roundabout way, he is important to me.
All this, assuming I even find him.
...It sounds as though you require rest, hm? Perhaps you should take the time for sleep.
>>8491581
>explores the ship, trying to find something that can help him in the final showdown
Gee, I wonder why she got arrested.
>>8491619
You have no idea what goes on in this head o'mine. :^)
>>8491598
>Ayyyyy, thanks dude
CONGRATULATIONS BARRY!
You are the newest Gorey Gauntlet Champion!
Your wincard will be out shortly.
>>8491646
Why did this make me laugh.
First, the placements.
>>8491636
OH I'LL PUT SOMETHING THROUGH YOUR FRICKIN HEAD
>>8491620
Well...
The way that it works is when I get strong enough, I can master seal into a new class!
I can either become a maid, Who uses knives and staffs, or a strategist, Which can use tomes and staffs. Usually strategist is the better option.
>>8491653
Congratulations. And thank you for the match, host.
>>8491636
Well, I guess the winner could've been someone worse! Congrats, dude! More importantly, thank you for hosting!
>>8491636
>Ah, there's my luck.
N-No, I don't want to go to jail!
>>8491659
Get me out of here, I didn't do anything wrong!
>>8491620
Were you made like this, or were you a human at some point?
>>8491653
Huh. Well that's a first. Congrats, you. And thanks for the show.
>>8491636
>>8491653
Yeah! Take that!
>Barry would not have been able to throw those barrels if he didn't have the high ground.
>Holy shit my first game with Barry in months and he wins. My biggest loser tribute won. Neato burrito.
>>8491659
>Thanks for hosting, Gorey.
>>8491530
"...Interesting."
>Dawn's face is a mixture of curiosity, muted disbelief... and evident worry.
"Still, do you feel hurt...?"
>A snow-skinned hand gently rises and falters before her.
>>8491535
"Own... it?"
>Dawn pouted. How could she OWN a facial expression...?
>>8491543
"I see. I wish you the speediest of rest and recovery, then."
>Her dangerously-short skirt hikes up as she assumed a courteous bow.
>>8491545
"Okay, little QP... I'm Dawn."
>>8491636
"..."
"Congratulations, Barry... I am very happy that you have succeeded in rising above the rest."
>The bluenette's straight lips curled at the corner of their edges... into a faint, yet heart-melting smile that shone through her stoic demeanor.
>>8491653
Congrats dude, and thanks for hosting!
>Because it's a gud maymay bruh
>>8491659
Congratulations Barry!
Thank you very much for hosting Smol goat!
>>8491543
Yeah, don't worry about me. It's just the fire that burns in my soul, the spark of passion that lights my fuse...
>Junrkat says in a singsongy voice, his eyes lighting up
...that, or the fact it exploded just then. I'm itching towards the latter to be honest with ya. But there's no time to worry, I wasn't kiddin' when I said there's some things that needed blowing up. If I laze around 'ere for too long my partner's gonna get sore with me again.
It was good getting to know ya. I think I'll drop by later and introduce myself to the locals. I'll catch ya around!
>Junkrat throws a concussion mine at his feet and hops on it. He gives Ahri one last mad smile before flipping the switch, causing the mine to blow up and propelling him through the air.
>>8491659
Congrats, kid! Cheers for the game cobber!
>>8491653
Congrats to you.
>>8491659
Thanks for the game,host.
>>8491659
Thanks for the game mate.
>>8491659
Thanks for the game. But I noted they remained largely the same and any change was mitigated at best
>>8491620
Some rest would do wonders for me. But uh, Weiss. Once I see you again, maybe we can talk about how we could find this Noir grimoire.
And maybe... understand your duty. But now, I must retire for the night.

No problemo. Thanks for playing. Stay tuned for Changing the Game V2 or whatever Yukine said.
>>8491685
Dawn? That's a pretty name! Are you lost too?
>>8491653
You performed admirably. Well fought, Barry!
>>8491673
I.... Whaaat?
How preposterous this all sounds! One must train for these things, no?
And a maid is not usually involved in combat at all...!
>>8491710
Is that so? You're truly interested in assisting me?
Hmm... I may accept that offer, woman.
May rest find you well, Julia.
>>8491682
I have always been like this! As far back as I can remember.
>>8491653
>>8491659
>the giant grunts, as if to say thanks.
>>8491685
>Ahri nods to her, noting the skirt's length but saying nothing.
Thank you for your concern. I'll be fine though. It's just been a long and eventful day...
>>8491653
Congartulations!
>>8491659
Thank you for hosting.
10 minutes, maybe a minute or 2 more depending on the situation
>>8491581
Well.... have fun with that, I guess.
>>8491583
>>8491618
Hiya Suz! Hey-a Alfred! I'm just glad everything's holding out A-Okay. Regardless everything's alright considering we respawn from horrific/terrifying deaths.
>>8491617
Oh..... Um....
>Baki looks back awkwardly for a moment and confirms a quick shake of the head no.
>>8491694
>Ahri watches him soar through the air, taking a deep breath.
>It was... majestic. In a way.
Farewell Junkrat...
I'm stealing Mokou's Moment of Zen idea but I have no idea what to call it. "Minute of Peace"? Nah.
>>8491730
N-No homo.
>>8491733
>>8491739
No problem. Thanks for playing.
>>8491743
Nice, I can take that piss I said I was going to but never did.
>>8491727
Why, Yes!
It usually takes loads, and I mean loads of healing to get close to being able to use one, But it's all worth it in the end!
>>8491717
Pff. Like Mario Bros 3. Cannot unsee.
>>8491743
Show this pleb how the game gets changed.
>>8491781
You're hurting my feelings.
>>8491684
>This is some dark April Fools fuckery here.
>>8491685
Hahaha! Look at you. What's the deal, bad with people?
...I mean hell, not like I got room to tease you there, I am too. If you're how you are, are you really that concerned about other people's opinions on it?
>>8491727
Oh, you poor bastard. Not having arms must suck.
Changing the game after Yukine hosts
Say the words, anon, and you will forever be free of hg.

And all of this helps you... become a strategist? Thanks to this magical seal you reference?

I believe I can make do without, thank you very much!
I can simply ask another to pick something up for me.
And anyway, how strange would it look for a book to be flying around with it's own pair of arms?

Well, I'm not really a "strategist", That's just what I'm called. I'm basically just a troubadour with tome usage...

>Baki lingers in deep thought from Alfred's mind-blowing question.
......""Where have I been?"" - School.
>>8491947
what
>>8491872
And how often do people listen to that? Wouldn't it be nice to be independent?
And you can't even use magic to replace the lack, huh?
>>8491917
Typically, a leader's influenced by the needs of what their people want. And you don't really seem like the politics-type to me, honestly.
