The endless night stretches on. A canon fired. And another. And another. And another. One face, two face, three face, four. They farewell you in the sky and vanish. Wounds sting, muscles ache, your stomachs grumble. Some tremble in the dark. This is not the same arena you entered, you know that for sure. Supplies dwindle and your bodies protest, craving proper sleep, a hot meal, antibiotics. Perhaps a soft duvet, the caress of a loved one back home. All you can think about is what you had, who you were with, and how all of it feels distant.

You are lost.

At dawn, the pixies arrive dancing with the first rays of light. With them - promises of what you need.

Come, they beckon. Come with us.

So you do. Perhaps you are conscious in your decision, knowing precisely what it is you need and where to find it. Or perhaps you're not sure what it is that overcomes you - some sort of magic, a science unexplained. Or just pure desperation, your willpower long-gone. Whatever it is the Pixies lead you to, you are sure it is something you need.

Through the morning you trek - away from familiar faces, through blight and forest, plants and moss, puddles and footprints in the dirt. And when you reach the Cornucopia portal, scattered with red flowers you're sure could only be a result of the blood you have spilled, you see scattered around the mysterious archway three bags. Three children.

One beautiful, terrifying queen.

Your eyes lock with the other three tributes - the bags - back to the tributes. There are four of you, but only three spoils to choose from.

Pay your price, the queen demands.

So you step forward.

Congratulations, tributes, on surviving Day 4!

✨ CLIMATE.
Summer comes with all of its wrath, a great heat engulfing the arena with the rise of the sun. Cicadas screech in the distance and the air smells warm and sweet. If one gets too close, the taste of rot from the blight collects in the back of their throat. Your neck is slick with sweat by sunrise already, and a thirst burns in the insides of dried cheeks. Find shade - quickly. Heat stroke may just take you yet.

Temperature: 80°F/28°C
Humidity: Heavy.

A continually updated table can be found here, on the HG Engine.
Our lovely member Rook also made this companion engine!
