HG/ Hunger games threads
24th bounty games edition.
Welcome to the fantasy domain where all can starve, goblins are assholes and elves are actually rare.
>>9603191 (Tetsutetsu)
>Aliera takes a moment to think about it before shrugging and figuring "screw it, why not?"
Alright, you've got yourself a deal. I know I'm signing myself up for some super seriously difficult math right here, but hopefully it shouldn't take *too* long.
>She picks up Tetsu-four's notebook as well as his pencil, then gets to work.

Uraraka Ochako
i wish i could target my own wife
>>9603265
why do i keep killing mister gas coin
>>9603265
"Sets off" is a really weird way to say "bail"
>>9603319
It's not an entry kiddo, the game just started
>>9603265
Pffft, Ya really think I need any of these?
>The Inkling throws the items given to her by the host behind her, and takes out her own, ink-based weapons
(Reposting this just in case)
>>9603191
WELL, THAT STUPID FACE Y'ER ROCKIN' IS SUPER STUPID AND UNFRESH! I WOULDN'T GO OUTSIDE IN A MILLION-BILLION-TRILLION YEARS WEARIN' THAT!
>>9603198
Heya, Fresh brush! I haven't seen Sheldon have any of these.
>The Inkling rips the brush outta the colorful girl's hands and begins to examine it. She swipes the floor with it a few times, seeing if it works or not
>>9603265
I have no need for such a weapon, take it for now girl. My blade will meet your throat soon enough.
>>9603265
Wait, whaaa? I-I'm not bait! Stop looking at me with that expression.
>Karen covers her eyes and then opens a little gap between her fingers to be able to see the boy
>>9603265
What just happened? Everything just went into a blur, and now I'm... where am I now?!
>The ghost girl, still invisible to others, aimlessly floated around the HG lobby, occasionally mumbling to herself.
>>9603265
It seems children hold a grudge against me for whatever reason...
>>9603339
BECAUSE YOU MUST BE REALLY UGLY UNDER THAT MASK OF YOURS TO KEEP WEARING IT ALL THE TIME, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU CAME RIGHT OUT OF THE INCREDIBLES, MORON
>>9603287
AWESOME, DUDE, YOU'RE THE BEST, WHATEVERYOURNAMEIS. IF I DON'T GET AT LEAST A C MINUS I'LL KICK YOUR ASS, THOUGH
>>9603337
Ohh... Ohhhhh... It's okay. I can enter to the next exam. Thank you for the heads up.
>>9603265
>As soon as the game starts you see three other competitors walking around.
>Since this is a competition about murdering others for your own personal gain, you walk up to your three opponents and rip them to shreds with your machete.
>>9603359
Holy shit!!
A ghost!!
>picks up his vaccuum

>>9603265
>Skipping the peace as always
>>9603401
And justice was brought you by Araragi Karen, member of the Fire Sisters! May the light of justice smite your deeds and help those who you've tortured!
Now off I go. The victims need help as well.
>>9603369
Exam? That's new to hear the games being called that
>>9603401
Zombies. It had to be zombies, great. Well at least it's not Shadows or something even more screwed up
>>9603368
Aliera. Again, I don't blame you for forgetting me. I'll make sure to do the best I can, especially with such oh so sadistic homework like this.
>She seems to be breezing through the problems, having little difficulty in solving the middle school-tier assignment.
>>9603362
N'awww, Don't worry, Mister GasCanLeak, You'll get 'em someday!
>>9603368
ATLEAST I DON'T GOT SHARK TEETH, LIKE SOME WEIRD SEA CREATURE ABOMINATION. BECOMIN' STEEL A DUMB POWER ANYWAY, YA WEIRDO
>The Inkling stops yelling for a few seconds to catch her breath, and starts to insult the boy again
DO'YA THINKS IT'S FUNNY TO PICK ON SQUIDDO'S SMALLER THAN YA, YA FRICKIN' BULLY!
>>9603447

Legendary rp.
>>9603449
If I do this, do you promise you won't kill me painfully? Thought not...
>>9603401
>You've been burnt ans blown up plenty of times before.
>Only this time, something is different, you aren't just sucking up the pain like normal, you're actually dying this time.
>Next thing you know, you wake up outside of the arena, Furious about what just happened.
>You attempt to go back into the game, but you can't seem to figure out a way back in.
>Looks like you're going to have to wait before going back in.
>This place doesn't make any sense.
>>9603449
So many deaths yet no bounties claimed.
>>9603449
What is that...? This is not Justice. This is not what I want.
>>9603401
WHY ARE THERE PENGUINS AND FOXES RUNNING AROUND IN A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING
>>9603448
HEY, WHILE YOU'RE HERE, YOU'RE A GIRL, RIGHT? YOU KNOW ABOUT GIRL THINGS? DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON A GIRL THAT'S BEEN FOLLOWING ME AROUND?
>>9603450
YOU'RE CALLING ME A SEA CREATURE ABOMINATION, BUT YOU'RE THE ONE WITH AN OCTOPUS ON YOUR HEAD, YOU MORON. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT STARTED ALL OF THIS ANYWAY! I'LL JUST FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO HELP ME!
>>9603492
Booooooooo, you suck, play something other than Wonderwall
>>9603401
>I can't get the elf bard skill sound out of my head
God damn it.
>>9603449
A loss fighting the local villianry without having a chance to face any bounties. I did set my sights too high expecting to be able to take a group just by myself.
>>9603529
>>9603516
Yeah, I've been a girl ever since I was a baby, so I've got some experience. What seems to be the issue with this girl? Do you think she's interested in you?
>She hands back the notebook, the assignment completed with (hopefully, or else it'd be quite embarrassing) all the right answers.
This is done, by the way. I'll take the five dollars.
>A green Ford Sedan parks up near the Colosseum
>Out steps a man in a suit and hat, he adjusts his tie and his holster, before taking out his notebook and pencil, and approaches the tributes.
Afternoon, Detective Cole Phelps LAPD Homicide. I have more questions regarding a string of disappearances that connect to this place, now I'm gonna have a look around and I expect you guys to help me answer some questions, so I can bring this man to justice.
>>9603516
IT'S NOT AN OCTOPUS, IT'S A SQUID, AND I AM THE SQUID! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WAS ASKING FOR HELP WITH YER ALGEBRA HOMEWORK CUZ YOU'RE DUMB, AND FINE, I DON'T WANT TO HELP A BOOZO WITH HIS EASY AS HECK MATH HOMEWORK ANYWAY!
>The Inkling falls onto her back slowly, and tries to catch her breath
Man, my mouth hurts now...
>>9603594
oh shit it's the police We don't know nothing officer we swears it
>>9603553
You'd think fire skills would bring these things down easy, but you'd be surprised
>>9603594
People are disappearing? Around here? That's weird
>>9603553
And now the paranoia sinks in.
>>9603594
I am afraid by arriving here officer, that like the rest of us you have disappeared. Best sit down and enjoy the show.
>>9603585
YEAH, I DO, BUT NOT IN THE GOOD WAY.
>He digs into his pocket while talking, and pulls out a crumpled up five dollar bill, handing it to her.
SHE'S BEEN FOLLOWING ME AROUND WHILE INVISIBLE, AND TAKING PICTURES OF ME WITHOUT ME KNOWING. HOW DO I GET HER TO STOP?
>>9603594
I KNOW EXACTLY WHO IT IS, HIS NAME IS GASCOIGNE AND HE'S BEEN RIPPING PEOPLE APART
>>9603597
....
>Tetsutetsu throws a pen at the Inkling's head.
>>9603594
Really now? Disappearances? How odd.
What kind of questions do you have?
>>9603635
Now that's what I'm talking about, this is awesome!
>>9603635
There is nothing more tragic in my eyes then eternal beings who have no ambition. Such a waste.
>>9603638
Ow! Whaddya do that for!
>The Inkling quickly gets up and pulls out a water balloon full of ink, and throws it straight at the boy's face
Throwin' around ink is my job, Mister!
>>9603594
...disappearances?
>She hovers over the detective for a while, contemplating the consequences of becoming suddenly visible. Eventually, she concedes, floating down as she reveals herself.
Hey, what's this about disappearances? I just got here, but I can probably help with them.
>>9603678
And the next morning, the students were gone, the only evidence left that they were there were bloody footprints
>>9603594
Uh...sure, officer. Go right ahead. I didn't even know that kind of stuff was happening here, so I might not be much help, but ask away anyway.
>>9603638
>She takes the bill, pulls the two ends to fix it, then stuffs it inside of her wallet.
So...you're saying this girl can turn invisible, and is using those powers to stalk you. Great. Do you know who this girl is by chance, or is it just some stranger?
>>9603678
>>9603679
>The balloon pelts him directly on the head, bursting open and covering his face in sticky ink. He falls over backwards and lands on his back, the ink's effects amplified by sticking his eyelashes together and preventing him from opening his eyes.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
>>9603716
YEAH, EXACTLY. WORST PART IS THAT THERE'S INVISIBLE CAMERAS, TOO. I DON'T REMEMBER HER NAME, I JUST KNOW SHE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT... AH...
>He leans in and cups his hands around his mouth.
She.. Records two people... Y'know. That "eighteen plus" stuff.
>>9603721
Only one death.
>>9603721
Oh come on, at least kill me yourself
>>9603752
Pssst, I didn't catch your answer earlier. How are you feeling about it?
>>9603788
I'M GONNA HAVE TO PASS, I DON'T THINK SELLING MY SOUL IS SOMETHING A HERO WOULD DO
>>9603594
Missing? Nobody's missing! We're all right where we're supposed to be, mister.
>>9603764
Last slide coming up! Place your bets here gamblers!
>>9603752
>The Inkling starts to panic
W-Well, I-I didn't know it would be this bad, I normally don't use stuff with these!
>The Inkling looks around the room, and runs away for a few seconds to retrieve a towel
H-Here! This'll help, Right?
>She tosses the towel to the boy, and goes to look for other things to help
>>9603609
>Doubt
That's not what the evidence says, now you can help or provide clues, but do not obstruct this investigation!
>>9603612
Have you notice anybody who hasn't shown up in sometime? It seems that it's mostly young woman who are being missing, now I'v spoken to witnesses and they all say that they were heading here.
>>9603635
I'v been here before, and I know all about the sick "shows" you people put on, frankly the captain doesn't believe me, but trust me I'll find the evidence needed to shut this place down!
>>9603649
Can you start off by saying your name and what it is that you do?
>>9603696
>He looks around, wondering how she was floating
Fancy lightshow you have going on here, anyway have you seen this woman around here?
>He shows her a black and white photo of a young white woman wearing a very nice pearl necklace, she has freckles and is wearing a headband
>>9603716
>Doubt
Oh but surely you know what's been going on here. Otherwise what's your excuse to be taking part in these events?
>>9603638
>He jots down the name on his notepad
Elaborate, what's his description?
>>9603810
I'm sorry little girl, but I don't share your naivety. There's a blood trail leading here and I need to know if you can help.
>>9603813
And the winner IS
>>9603836
Based
>>9603836
Congratulations, Harusame
>>9603832
I can think of several people who stopped coming to the games, but I always assumed they just left on their own
>>9603836
Congrats, and thanks for hosting
>>9603795
I understand. Good luck with the hero business.
>>9603832
Score Changes
Harusame + 3
Mayor of Canttown +2
>>9603832
If you can't figure out why I'm glowy and floating, there's no point explaining it to you.
>She leans forward, carefully examining the picture. She crosses her arms and tilts her head before looking back up at the detective.
Like I said, I just got here. I have no idea who this is.
>>9603832
Does anyone look missing to you? Even if they weren't always here now, they're here because they want to be, I'm sure!
>>9603836
Congrats, lady! Thank you!
>>9603828
>He turns his face to steel and slams his fists against the floor, powering through the burning feeling and sitting up. The hero grabs the towel and wipes his face off, the smooth covering of the steel making it much easier to do so than it would be otherwise. After getting rid of the ink, he dispels the steel on his face, and glares angrily at the Inkling.
WHAT KIND OF SQUID NEEDS A BALLOON TO SHOOT INK
>>9603832
AN OLD GUY WITH A LONG COAT, AND A DUMB HAT. HE'S BLIND TOO, I THINK
>>9603880
GOOD LUCK WITH.. UH.. Y'KNOW, GATHERING SOULS FOR SITHIS, OR WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING.
>>9603752
Oooh. That certainly complicates things, doesn't it? Has she interacted with you at all outside of the whole turning invisible and snapping photos of you thing? Because...this is just a hypothesis, take it with a grain of salt; she might be scouting you for an upcoming "piece of cinema." D-Don't get too upset about it, just taking context clues and applying them. Another important thing I might need to ask is if she's from here, or that Hero Academy you go to. The invisibility part might be her quirk, or whatever you called them.
>>9603832
I... really don't, officer. Of course there's all the fighting and exercise that goes on in the arena, but I hadn't heard of any serious disappearances until now. Who's the victim, if I may ask?
>>9603883
Thanks for the game, you did a fine job of hosting. Congrats to Harusame too.
>>9603261
>>9603345
Shimakaze call me it and I will leave you alone.
>>9603883
Heeey! I didn't do too bad! I mean sure it's no first place...but seventh isn't horrible.
>>9603832
Well, Darling, my name is Ahri, and I'm...
>She pauses, her tails slowly waving behind her.
An entertainer. This is all an elaborate costume...
>>9603836
>You really cannot believe how often you've come so close to victory just to stumble at the end. You're starting to get slightly peeved about it, but you don't let that show as you congratulate the winner.
>>9603883
>Ooo, you got points! You're moving up in the world! This has got to be a good sign!
>Amidst your bout of ecstasy, you thank the host.
>>9603898
It's Belphegor, and thanks.
>>9603904
THAT'S WHAT I'M AFRAID OF. I THINK SHE'S FROM SPACE, BUT I MET HER HERE. SHE WANTS ME TO LET HER TAKE PICTURES OF ME WHILE I TRAIN, BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD IDEA TO ME. YOU'RE A GIRL, WHAT DO I SAY TO WOMEN IF I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE INTERESTED IN ME?
>>9603920
>rubs tum
>>9603898
We Inkling don't shoot ink with our own bodies, ya nimrod! We use weapons to do so, like guns n' stuff, yo! And sometimes they come with bombs you can use too.
>>9603883
>The Inkling vigorously shakes the hosts hands in thanks
Thanks for the game!
>>9603836
>>9603883
Whoooa, I did it! My first win on my first day! Thank you every one, including the host!
>>9603908
Annoying girl, speak to me once more and I'll do more than cut away at your bunny ears.
>>9603883
Thanks, I guess.
>>9603832
>You and the police haven't had the best relationship and n the past, so you decide it's probably best to head back to that makeshift house you built in the forest, hoping he didn't see you as you walked off.
>>9603836
As you're walking off you spot the winner of this "game" you had just participated in.
>You have an urge to strangle the girl, as you don't understand how she managed to beat you in a fight to the death competition, but you decide that it's too risky with that officer snooping around.
>>9603967
...HOW DO YOU MAKE THE INK
>>9604000
movie Teodora is better
>>9603962
Why do you keep doing this?
>>9603967
>As you shake his hand you notice his other arm is suffering from some horrific plague.
Yes well we all have our hobbies. Now if you excuse me I have a protagonist to train.
>>9603946
Yeah, I think that confirms it then. You definitely shouldn't get involved in whatever game she's trying to make you play, so all you have to do is tell her to go away. It's really not that hard, just try to make her buzz off in whatever way seems appropriate. Everybody's different, so I can't speak for girls as a whole, but I'm sure you'll come up with something.
>>9603836
Felicidades shin... digo! haru.
>>9603985
Hmmmmpphh... Shi Ma, Kaze! Say it with me!
>>9603594
Good to see you around once again, officer.
>>9604048
Smooth, flat tums deserve to be rubbed
>>9604028
Well, I just kinda.. sink into the ink and it just kinda makes itself. How did'ya think we made it?
>>9604050
>The Inkling looks at the infected arm for a few seconds and seems to pass it off as something normal
Alrighty! See ya!
>>9603883
While dying was frustrating, these bounty games do make good practice. Focusing too much on others and not enough about the environment of the game did lead to a painful end.
>>9604053
THAT DOESN'T HELP ME AT ALL... THERE'S NO MAGIC WORD I CAN JUST SAY OR SOMETHING TO GET HER TO LEAVE ME ALONE?
>>9604097
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. IF YOU MAKE IT THEN WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? HOW DOES IT COME OUT OF YOU?
Evening, guys. How is everyone?
Welp, time to go.
>>9604078
I don't want mine rubbed though.
>>9604131
host please
I'll host just give me a minute
>>9604137
Well, you don't really have a say in the matter. Cover that tum with gear designed against tumrubbing.
>>9604124
Well, It's kinda never-ending if ya think about it. When we shoot it, we can make more ink from it, and more ink, we basically got a never ending supply of ink if'ya think about it!
>>9603869
>Truth
And none of that seemed suspicious to you? That suddenly they'd stop showing up without a peep?
>>9603887
>Doubt
I'v talked to people here before, and they were either performing strange light tricks or wearing costumes, so excuse me if I don't buy your excuse one bit. I know this place attracts performers!
>>9603890
>Lie
I very much doubt that everyone here is here willingly, just like the brothel next door. I know how criminals will drug up people to follow them. Listen I have PROOF that people have been missing in Los Angeles and that they shown up here.
>>9603898
Sir, can you please stop yelling...act calm and think straight, I doubt a man can murder anyone if he is blind.
>>9603904
Cassandra Williams. A young girl who was in high school in L.A. She didn't come home from school one evening and now the trail follows here.
>>9603917
I see, I met a girl who dressed like a squid here before, though she was stubborn in not breaking her role.
>He eyes her outfit
I know all about the brothel next door, you should warn your patrons, that the LAPD is going to crackdown on them soon. Hope you have a good lawyer.
>>9604014
>He catches a glimpse of the big guy walking into the house and eyes it suspiciously
That's the perfect set for a horror film if I ever seen one, I better investigate it sometime.
>>9604076
Thank you, I'm doing my part to help put the fiend to justice. Just because the Dahlia Killer has stopped doesn't mean our job does too.
>>9604065
>Altera silently points her sword at the boat's throat, motioning her to leave.
>>9604124
Probably not. You can't say "alakazam" and make me go away, so I doubt it'll work on her. But if she's from space, there might be something different when it comes to aliens, so who knows? I guess anything's possible, but don't expect me to know the answers.
>>9604199
Stubborn in not... What? You mean she didn't talk?
>The mention of the brothel doesn't result in anger as one would expect.
>She laughs instead, shaking her head.
It's not like that, Dear. Not at all. But I could see where you'd think that. I don't work with them.
But I'll warn them all the same.
