Anthem :: Day 3

The choir starts before dawn.

Flecks of sand blow over the jagged wall, a lullaby of creaking metal and howling wind begging the tributes to keep their eyes closed just a little while longer. Promising that the dangers won't be there when they open again. It's all just a trick of the light. Hope is dying beneath your hands, pumping up and down, trying so desperately to restart the heart. But it's quiet now.

Right before daybreak, the world goes silent.

Then there's an echoing crack, a hard thud that seems to resonate through your bones. And sand. So much of it, everywhere, scratching at your skin and stinging your vision until it's unbearable to even look at your surroundings. There's a large hole in the wall, a sheet of scrap metal that has collapsed to the ground. The storm rages like nothing will ever be enough to quell the fury.

The Badlands welcome the tributes with a hungry maw.

no death :c

The Anthem is an empty void and you realize with more dread than joy… 21 still remain.

Congrats on surviving Day Two!

Starting late in the night on Day Two, howling winds begin to stir the air, growing into a massive sandstorm by dawn. The streets become wind tunnels and windows crack and shatter from the pressure while small twisters send mutts and debris soaring through the air. Tributes should do their best to seek shelter, but the sudden onset of the storm is enough to cause +5 damage to anyone without goggles to help protect and enable them to search for safety. This includes tributes moving to the Oasis.
