Anthem - Day 3

Day and night dance together endlessly within this arena, and the tributes have come to realize this quickly. Darkness takes over every corner and sharp turn, perhaps with a slight tinge of generously placed lighting that isn't emitted naturally from an illuminated area. Time is indistinguishable in these walls, as is everyone's.

Echoing throughout the cavernous walls of the arena, the anthem glimmers into view upon every inch across the cave ceiling. As each fallen face switches to the next, it is replaced with a burning effect as the embers rise from the Pit of Flames and intermingle with the eerie projection.

Cedric Lane, District Twelve

Counting the deaths on fingertips, the measly number isn't difficult to make out. Two dead on the second day, and twenty still vying for their lives and the crown at the end of this Hell. The next day it'd be wise to not find yourself among the fallen.

The anthem fades back out, and the darkness swallows the cave whole once again. Darkness leads to light. Blue entropy begins to burn and pushes the clock ever forwards towards oblivion. The very foundations of Hell tremble in anticipation of the end.

Congratulations on surviving Day Two, Tributes!

BOILING BLOOD:

As they make their tired, heavy way into the crimson depths, the tributes notice a strange, foul odor seeping from the thick pool. As they watch, a large bubble buds off from the pool and bursts, releasing a thick and cloying smoke into the air. The tribute closest to the pool recoils back, hacking and coughing, temporarily stunned. As more and more bubbles emerge from the depths, all tributes start becoming dizzy and weak, throats burning with each gulp of toxic air. It rapidly fills the cave area until they can hardly see each other through the smoke and their lungs ache in their chest. Someone cries "RUN!" and they sprint out of the area, blindly following each other until the smoke clears and stumble to a heaving stop in another area. Here, the light from the softly burbling pool reflects warmly over the cave walls, bathing everything in a soft, golden hue... including the other tributes on the other side of the cave.

HOWLING STORM:

The wind screams like nothing else. Another day in this hell has only ignited the fury of whatever god blows this gale and it rips at the skin of newcomers and old hands alike, eleven pairs of eyes slitted against the onslaught. As the wind moans like the souls of whatever unfortunate dead trapped within these walls, a particularly strong gust howls through the small space and takes some unfortunate tributes by surprise - the smaller group manages to hold fast, huddled together to brace against the storm, but the two larger alliances get ripped apart as if being yanked by invisible hands. Both teams split in two, all they can do is wait out the gale that wishes to peel back their very flesh and hope their teammates didn't fall into the gaping pits below.
