[indiefolk]

[Warded to Ravi and Cecil]

Heyyyyyyyy, dearest responsible friends who might be interested in knowing when something big and rules-skirting is happening.

Remember the game with the knives? The fake knives?

The one that you, Ravi, asked me to tell you as little about as possible?



Two days.

GOOSEBERRY HUNGER GAMES

Hey everyone! This year, I'll be organizing the game, which is exciting. If you can read this, you're probably going to be participating. Just a reminder, tomorrow's the last day for people to give me their names.

THE RULES

• On Monday morning you're going to find a plastic butterknife in your locker with a name written on it.


• The winner is the last person standing.


• The winner takes home the whole prize pot.


• You then have to ‘kill’ that person by prodding them gently with your knife. After they ‘die’, you then take their knife, and have to go after their target next.


• You may not ‘kill’ someone while they’re naked.
  
  
  • You can't kill anyone while you're nude either or certain people would go on naked assassinations.


• You may not ‘kill’ someone in their cabin, the bathroom, the showers, during a Grotto party, or in the cafeteria. Or in the infirmary.


• You may not ‘kill’ someone in front of a teacher.


• If you actually hurt the other person in your murder attempt, you’re out of the game. The person who was injured takes your knife, and it’ll be as though they killed you.


• Die in a sportsmanlike way, don't be a dick about it.


• If you want to argue a death wasn't fair, you have to come talk to me.

THE PRIZES

• 394 dragots (100 of it is in this sadistic puzzle box.)
  
• A tiara.
  
• A computer data stick thing Micah says is full of movies.
  
• Rainbow Trout eye pillow.
  
• LOTS OF CHOCOLATE. Fancy chocolates, a five pound bar of chocolate, hand made chocolates from Cecil, 10 chocolate frogs.
  
• A cool deck of cards.
  
• IOU for cupcakes from Tess.
  
• A signed autograph from our very own Cameron Carney!
  
• Ree Hobbs original artwork!
  
• Bertie Bots torture beans!
  
• BOOZE. A bottle of Malibu, a bunch of miniature bottles, a bottle of fancy vodka.
  
• Cool pens!
  
• A fuzzy purple worm and a shark pincher, great for biting the toes of your roommates while they're in their bunks.
  
• Badass black flower grown, very goth.
  
• An amazing robot bird made by the most brilliant little sister I know!
  
• Trail mix!
  
• A fox hand puppet!
  
• A pocket watch!

Soooooo that should cover it. Does anyone have any questions???

So if I just run around naked, do I get immunity? Can I kill people while I'm naked if they're clothed?

The Tributes

[indiefolk]

If you're in the nude, you can't kill or be killed! Also you're definitely getting a talking to for public indecency, you scandalous monster.

The Tributes

[gdilevi]

What counts as naked? Like, fully naked? Does underwear count as clothed, then?

Tributes

[solveforx]

Gosh finally I was wondering when we'd get to see some murder around here, dude. Someone's been promising it for like months now.

Tributes

[destructobot.insanejournal.com]

Right? Thank you for giving the people what they want.

Tributes

[gdilevi]

Yeah, where's MURDER!!!!* Anon? It's their time to shine.


* Not actually real murder just touching someone with a butter knife to win a prize.

This school's got a lot of shit to work out. At least whoever's the angriest is going to get a lot of chocolate and alcohol to help them chill out.

The Tributes

You're going to be the come back kid, I can feel it.

Key is to pick your allies carefully. There's ruthless assholes in this school.

Thanks for the heads up, Diego. I hope you all have fun.

Just don't overdo it? If anything starts to get out of hand, though, please let me know. I'll be keeping my eyes open too. Just in case.

Ravi + Diego + Cecil

[indiefolk]

I'm excited. I'm also terrible at this game, and I'm probably going to die early at the hands of a freshman who hates my music.

Yeah, I promise. I'll try to, uh, not assign anyone someone they hate? Obviously after that it gets kind of crazy and random but might as well not start it out that way.

Ravi + Diego + Cecil

[knightly]

Ah, yes. The time of year all of your classmates start suspiciously travelling in groups and keeping their backs to a wall while they're studying.

You're not tempted to join in, Cecil? Last year and all?

AW HECK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

The Tributes

Something wrong?

[kazim]

Gertrude needs new sweaters and I'm prepared to kill my friends to get them.

Tributes

[indiefolk]

Fashion bought with blood.

The Tributes

[gavogletree]

Sadistic seems harsh.

Anyway, I'm ready for this. Bring it on!

The Tributes

[indiefolk]

Come on, you wanted the winner to suffer a little.

The Tributes

[gdilevi]

Is the Quidditch pitch fair game, then? So if one of my teammates is my hit, can I (gently) stab them mid-air during practice?

The Tributes

[indiefolk]

At the discretion of your captain(s). If Etta's okay with it, then knock yourself (or someone else) out.

The Tributes

[threatens]

Spectating games is gonna be a real shitshow, if we don't all kill each other by next Sunday.

The Tributes

[unregrettable]

Goddamn it, Levi, our next game is in TEN DAYS.

Thank you for the clarification of the rules, I admit I had some questions myself but was [. . .] unsure of how to ask.
