I imagine Cinder must've been a big help to have at the barbecue, for obvious reasons.

And I see it didn't take long for Zarya to get Worfed. Also, Hitomi found out the hard way that "Cena wins, LOL."

Oh yeah, that's more like it, guys!

And there go three of my four tributes. Guess Aron knew that Tank would eat him early on, so he made a run for it... only to blow up into scrap metal immediately.

To be fair to Hitomi, she can't see him.

Fair point.

Night 1

• Apparently Joseph Joestar is a huge hypocrite, considering he previously convinced Elizabeth I to keep living.
• Sephiroth's fiendish actions have become rather petty lately. Maybe he's been depowered.
• I feel kinda sorry for Pegasus. I would not want to spend a night stuck in a ditch with that dude.
• Konan suffers a dislocated vagina courtesy of a hambone.
• Layton, Harry's gonna be super-pissed at you.
• How do you even give a spaceman a wedgie?

Day 2

• "I'm a REAL boy and you aren't! Nya-nah!"
• "We're all soldiers now." "uuuuuuuuuuuu aeiou john madden john madden ebrbrbrbrbrbr"
• Incoming death metal cover of "When You Wish Upon A Star"?
• Joseph Joestar somehow has a snowball fight with a text-to-speech program.
• Still reeling from that kick, Konan insults Pegasus's hair in frustration, which deeply offends the latter.
• The Plague Doctor gets tired of Sephiroth's actions and decides to show him just how weak he's become.
• Ginny meets a similar fate to her brother.
• Considering the size difference between Calumon and Terry Bogard, that's pretty ballsy. And it worked.

Fallen Tributes: Sephiroth, Ginny Weasley, Terry Bogard.

Soldier: 76, while picnic'ing with Moonbase Alpha Astronaut: Kids these days, I swear... Back in my day, we talked like normal people instead rambling on in whatever the hell this gibberish is!

Also, Adam, you don't really have a beard, so why're you shaving?

Isn't it too early for a snowball fight? Anyway, there goes my last tribute. (Facepalm)

I always imagine the Arena as the same one in the canonical Hunger Games, but it's not accurate as I've never read the books.

Who said it was a beard?

I figure this particular arena we use for the games features a wide array of environments, including some hills and mountains that get snowfall all year? I dunno.

Cue people making audio splices out of Ghost's band.

"No, NO! Don't you DARE splice me with the Backstreet Boys, you goddamn bastards!! DON'T YOU DARE!!" *cans.wav*

So wait, is this band he formed the fabled Michael J. Fox and the Shakes he's always talking about?

Last update for the night. Expect more in several hours, I'm a long sleeper.

Night 2

• John Cena's getting kinda weird now.
• Microsoft Sam has contracted a virus, it seems.
• Cinder Fall decides to gather up three tiny creatures and form a dancing troupe with them.
• A true gentleman doesn't do that, Layton.
• Pain meets a painful end.
• Ghost hates wrestling but he apparently doesn't mind watching a fireworks show with a wrestler.
• I don't know the first thing about 9, but is he even... equipped for that?
• Doomguy's armor is not well-insulated.

Day 3

• Ken does something wet and dirty to Soldier 76.
• Somebody got pricked by thorns picking berries, but I can't see who.
• Yeah, if I spent a long period of time with Ghost, I'd want to kill myself too.
• Layton meets a fellow gentleman. If Pegasus can be considered that.
• Cinder Fall falls to her demise.

Fallen Tributes: Konan, Pain, Doomguy, Cinder Fall

I see what you did there...

edited 12th Sep '16 12:46:45 AM by GrafVonTirol

Cinder... I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. And tired, so I'm gonna hit the hay as well, but not before posting my tributes for next season here in case I forget them:

Team Dark Wizards: Zeref◊ and Voldemort◊

For reserves, Team Action Girl Jedi: Ahsoka Tano◊ and Rey◊

Pegasus reminded Layton of a puzzle, so the latter gave one to the former and dashed off.

And Ken, what a jerk for pushing Soldier 76 in a mud puddle after watching fireworks with him last night.

Whatever happened to being eternal, Pain, Konan?

Oh, now we're speculating about the arena?

I imagine the arena as a Genius Loci and Arena Events are when it's out for blood.

Wow okay so Sepiroth didn't do much besides bully Terry. Pegasus don't die too soon.

Night 3

• Oh, Jiminy, that was just uncalled for, man.
• It turns out Pinocchio isn't a real boy OR a puppet. He's something far, far worse...
• Ghost's kidney fails from too much beer, so he gets a replacement.
• "Soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi"
• Ken has a lap pet.

Day 4

• John Cena meets an extremely anticlimactic end.
• Ken decides to teach some tributes the art of fighting, even though at least two of them probably do not need it at all.
• A three-way snowball fight ensues, but one of those things is just not like the others.
• Soldier 76's enlisted men are injured.
• Pegasus just watches this all unfold and evokes a sentiment that I can agree with.

Fallen Tributes: Dima, John Cena

edited 12th Sep '16 7:53:47 PM by Anomalocaris20

I guess John Cena never saw that one coming. Looks like I won't playing his theme song when this is all over, now that he ain't snagging a podium finish.

Also, now I have to wonder just what Pinocchio's attack was and how a cricket could kick someone that hard. And Ken, I doubt Adam needs any more combat training, but I suppose it's the thought that counts.

Terriermon just can't stop doing cute things.

I would normally leave more time for responses between posts, but I'll be gone for the next seven hours or so, so...

Night 4

• Adam is gonna go crazy trying to talk with those two.
• Now Pegasus will never get his freakin drink!
• Soldier 76's age catches up with him.
• Xavier Woods apparently doesn't like Ghost anymore, so he puts Joseph Joestar into a tough choice.
• Not sure why Terriermon's suddenly given up on life.

Day 5

• ...There is so much I could do here. Do I make a joke about Pegasus's Millenium Eye? A joke about the fact that they d-d-d-d-d-dueled with their eyes on the line? Either way, now both Pegasus and Layton are one-eyed.
• Not sure why Ken is having a friendly race with Xavier when the latter tried to have him killed last night...
• Maou-sama arms himself with the most potent weapon in his arsenal.
• Another "forced-to-kill" scenario. This time played out by a fucking incompetent astronaut.
• If Jiminy Cricket is practicing archery, does that mean his arrows are like the size of toothpicks?
• Terriermon decides it's the only one who gets to have suicidal thoughts in this season, and puts Elizabeth I out of her misery.

Fallen Tributes: Ghost, Plague Doctor, Elizabeth I

edited 12th Sep '16 7:53:26 PM by Anomalocaris20

Really, Adam? You're gonna let an incompetent astronaut who speaks in total gibberish boss a master swordsman like you around? Then again, you probably had a headache from having to listen to both him and Microsoft Sam babble on last night. Why you decided to kill the Plague Doctor (who I was admittedly low-key rooting for) instead of Sam, though, is beyond me.

On another note, I bet Layton somehow lost his eye in a children's card game against Pegasus.

Pegasus taking someone eye in a duel oh that was great.

Those are some tiny darts you got there, Jiminy.

Wow, looks like Pinoc's really got no strings on him!
