Vamos A La Playa (SIAHL) Day 1

The bloodbath was everything I was ever told it would be. Crazy, quick, fast. Yet somehow I managed to escape virtually unharmed, except for a little fall. I didn’t kill, which was great, but I did get some very strong attacks in with my spear.

What will he others will think of me back home.

Do they think that I’m evil, will they hate me. I shouldn’t care, I really shouldn’t. But I do.

The little girl Mahlah finished off the person who I did the most damage too, so in essence, it is my kill. The scary part is, I nearly don’t feel anything. Whether the feeling of being awful just hasn’t hit me yet, or it is something different, I don’t know. But something has to come eventually.

But what if it doesn’t come to me, what does that mean?

When I think of everything that has happened during my short time in the arena, I already feel like it would be better if this were just a constant fight, if there was no break. We did great in the bloodbath, destroying anyone in our path. The length of my spear did wonders for me.

I notice that I’ve begun to sweat, and that the weather is undeniably hot. My plain white shirt is starting to stick to my body, yet just as quickly it dries off. I’m going to have to stay extra hydrated if my body can keep up this equilibrium.

Why did I start attack though? What did that District Eight tribute do to me that caused me to thrust my spear into his calf? He probably attacked animals, so that is a fair assumption.

Still, it doesn’t feel right. At least he made it out of the carnage alive. So if he dies, it isn’t my fault.

Then there’s my fellow low district member, the girl from 11. She died, and I was the one who nearly killed her. That is my fault, and even though she had it coming for her by attacking me, I still don’t know why I attacked her. Sure, my alliance was doing it, but why? Why couldn’t we just pick up our stuff and run. In all that carnage, we only ended one kids life, and it was hers. Why didn’t we let her run off at the brink of death for something else to kill her?

Because she isn’t an animal.

She must hate animals. That is the key. Yet animals out here are life, and I need them for food. Even if I don’t want too, I have to catch them. I see a rabbit and I try to catch it. Hopefully I’m not like the boy from District Four in the 59th Hunger Games

Wow, that is one unbelievably beautiful rabbit. It's just so perfect. I hope my alliance doesn't see me starring at the rabbit the way I am, because they might freak out or something like that.

I keep wondering what I should call my new friend. Then it hits me. LeBlanc! My new friend is LeBlanc! What a wonderful name. "Don't worry, LeBlanc, I'm not going to eat you. You're my new friend," I say in a hushed voice while petting LeBlanc's back. I look around to make sure nobody notices, and I don't think they do.

Because I can't worry about my new friend, I put him in my backpack and zip the zipper nearly all the way up, but leave just enough room so the beautiful LeBlanc can survive.

Next, I go and fill up my two empty water bottles in the stream. We are going to have to purify the water later, and hopefully we can do it without attracting too much attention.

Once I do that, I pick up some branches off the ground to use for fires later, but not now.

I also throw away the non-combat boots I got in the bloodbath because those boots are good for nothing.

Then I flee the area with my alliance.

OOC: In this post, Walker attempted and caught a rabbit, filled his two jugs with water, picked up branches for fire making off of the ground, and got rid of his non-combat boots that were one of his bloodbath items.

He also leaves the thread and area.
