RUNNING: 4X100M RELAY

Welcome to the 4x100 relay tournament of the second Panem Olympic Games! The track and field complex is located within the Olympic Arena, with stands for spectators traveling from Districts One, Two, Four, and the Capitol to watch the competitors. Television cameras are set up around as well, to broadcast the event to anyone staying home as well as to the other districts who aren't as lucky and competent as you all! Please be sure you stretch and warm up with your coaches before you're called to the starting block, and remember, make your district proud!

The execution of this event is simple. Feel free to roleplay your character on the starting blocks and running, and then paste the code [*roll=349+1050] without the asterisks into your post and roll, as you would with a Hunger Games die. This will result in a four-digit number that will correspond to a time, which is read with a decimal point separating the first two and the last two digits (e.g. 1264 is read as 12.64 seconds) The times of each competitor on each team will be added up to get the team's total.

The team with the lowest time wins this event. Times for this event will be continually updated on this thread.

After everyone has rolled, feel free to edit your post with your character's reaction if you so desire, but please keep it to one post rather than multiple.

There is NO POSTING ORDER; you may post your shots whenever you please. Keep in mind that this event must be wrapped up by the end of the Olympics Day.

hazel meyers.

three years old, grass and sand and tag you're it, brothers and their little sister in the spring sunshine. five years old, backpack filled to the brim, brand new shoes on the pavement going home. seven years old, death on her lips, running until her legs gave out and her insides tasted like fire as grief quenched them into smoke and loss. ten years old, stopwatches and birthday gifts and approving nods from adults in glasses. eleven years old, glasses of her own, they shatter on the track but she keeps running anyway. fourteen years old, outrunning her brothers, outrunning her grief. sixteen years old, the word 'olympics', heart stops.

seventeen years old, a starting shot gun, heart starts again.

L U X P E L O T T E

Baton in hand, all I can do is run.

Like there's no tomorrow, like I am being chased by an axe spinning through the air, targeting my back like I am a criminal.

Cold air against my cheeks, but nothing can withdraw the heat I can feel burning through my thighs and feet. Getting more and more tired with every second on this track, yet I cannot retire from such an important race.

Four is counting on me, Four is counting on us.

My eyes flicker to the competition and I can barely make a judgement on their distance before I turn back to the remaining track ahead of me and am made to pass on the baton to the next girl.

I hold it out, knowing I couldn't have done any more, couldn't have given any more, couldn't have pushed myself further—and it slips into the hand of my teammate.

My eyes close, sweat like crystals on my forehead, I exhale no dreams, I only exhale dust.

My heartbeat hums in my ears like electricity as I lock my carbon-fibre foot into the starting block, stretching the sides of my body with delicious excess as I do. The connection between material and flesh is a synapse of power, which I laud over my opponents as I watch them eyeing me with jealous curiosity. I am more than human, and there lies my first advantage. The chrome coat over the outside of the prosthetic, shining like a bullet and quivering to launch off the starting block with the same power, throws out a halo that glares vengefully into my adjacent lanes. Let them shy away from it. I was made to be feared.

My second advantage is in my sheer power as an athlete. The events in my past have given me a hunger and determination that I'm certain are unmatched - the others probably barely come close. For me, this is more than just another chance to succeed. This is the chance. Let me show them that I'm made of stronger stuff than flesh and bone. Inside and out, I am steel. I still look up and onwards to the Hunger Games, for a chance to beat my rivals in more than just points and seconds, but in real strength and survival, but I know the power of reputation, and of fame. Let them see me - Avarice Orner, the bionic woman! - let them know me, and then let them revere me.

The race begins with a bang, and so do I.

Ufuoma

He had ran the first day by himself and gotten bronze, maybe this time, running with several others he'd get gold, or something better. He'd be fine with bronze, it's another medal so he'd be alright with that. Like the first day, he stretched and prepared for the race to start. The idea of racing again made his blood pump, his heart race. It did many things to ~~ufuoma~~ Andrew Northrop, but the thing it did the most, was make him excited. He was excited to see and meet all of the people because they were so damn unique. It gave a small sense of mystery, because quite a few of past Olympians have gone into the games. Maybe he would fence them or race with them, race against them or perhaps just bump into them. Cameras were placed all over, broadcasting their training and broadcasting this race.

Everyone at home was watching, waiting.

They'd have their eyes on him, then the other person, and then the other. It'd then be almost seconds after the last person gets the spotlight that the race would be over -

if it wasn't already over by that point.

Everyone was watching, everyone was waiting.

And as the gun rang out, everyone at home was watching him. Damn, he loved how that felt.

Rhapsody Pheonix Morales

Below me the ground shakes and shudders as the sounds of swarming feet approach me. Behind me the figures of my fellow runners dart along the beaten track. Inside my heart I can feel my beat increasing, my moment to shine was coming yet I find myself afraid of the spotlight. Rhyme was in the spotlight yet her dance was drilled to death by the hands of another. Now it was my time to enter the fray, my time to show the world what Rhyme left behind. However, I can only pray I am worthy of her grace.

Cause You gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger
If your gonna survive any longer
In this lifetime, it better be the right time
The first time might be your last time
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove

Today was the second day of the games. The first day I have an event. I haven't tried anything like this before. I never really worked well with others, but maybe together we can be stronger. Heading down to the track, I feel the atmosphere rise and rise. It felt absolutely wonderful. My adrenaline started flowing into my body, making me more alert, more focused, more ready. I couldn't help but grin.

Before I head out to my spot, I stretch out and put on my new running shoes I got solely for this race and the 4x400m. I only got the best of the best. Damn, they feel so light. I love them I head over to my spot and wait. I hear the start. One off, one to go, then me. I watch the first leg hand off the baton to the second leg. One done, One off, I'm next. My heart bets faster as the runner gets closer. I run a little forward and blast off as soon as I grasp the baton firmly. Let's go.
