3rd Hunger Games

The **3rd Hunger Games** took place in 3 ATT. It was the third installment of the Hunger Games to take place after being established in the Treaty of Treason, signed at the end of the First Rebellion.

## Before the Games

These games, much like the first two, were barbaric and simple, not having many of the elements introduced in later editions.

### July 3rd - Reaping Day

Reapings took place in the Districts on July 3rd, which is now an enforced "holiday". No volunteers among the tributes due to the absence of the volunteering system. Tributes from each district were selected as follows:

### July 4th-9th

#### July 4th

Tributes arrived at the Capitol and were confined to old stables. They began to realize the terrible living conditions, including severe poverty, lack of food, and water.

#### July 6th

* Elsie Reaves (District 12, Female): Died due to dehydration.
* Sylvia Jacksmith (District 7, Female): Died from an unidentified ailment.
* Maeve Harris (District 9, Female): Succumbed to hunger.

#### July 7th

* Victor Thread (District 8, Male): Died due to dehydration.
* Bowen Fikes (District 10, Male): Died from an unidentified ailment.

#### July 9th

* Diana Pelton (District 2, Female): Died from an unidentified ailment.
* Teema Bright (District 5, Female): Succumbed to hunger.

## The Games

This being the third edition of the Hunger Games, many of the elements now considered standard were conspicuously absent. There were no mentors to guide the tributes, and they received no training. The arena provided only basic weaponry, such as knives, swords, and clubs, with nothing more at their disposal. The Games themselves commenced on July 10th, one week after the Reapings.

The tributes, now weakened by the harsh conditions, entered the minimally prepared arena armed with basic weaponry, such as knives, swords, and clubs. The lack of mentors and training made the situation even more challenging for the tributes, setting the stage for a brutal and unpredictable competition.

### Day 1, July 10th

In the brutal bloodbath that unfolded on the first day of the Hunger Games, six tributes fell victim to the chaos and violence, succumbing to the ruthless nature of the Games.

* Perina Leck (District 3, Female): Perina fell victim to a brutal attack by Cassius Grant (District 2, Male). He swiftly ambushed her during the initial fighting, overpowering her with his strength and weapon skills.
* Sebastian Tiding (District 4, Male): Sebastian encountered Lorelei Gold (District 4, Female) during the chaos of the initial fight. In a tragic turn of events, Lorelei, driven by the instinct to survive, attacked Sebastian, leading to his demise.
* Oliver Barrow (District 12, Male): Oliver was unfortunately overpowered by Brutus Pine (District 1, Male), a fierce and experienced opponent. Brutus managed to outmaneuver Oliver, ultimately defeating him in the heat of battle.
* Archer Sands (District 7, Male): Archer was confronted and killed by Maxwell Arden (District 5, Male). Maxwell, driven by the desperation to survive, engaged Archer in combat and emerged victorious, securing his own survival.
* Edison Bow (District 3, Male): Edison became a target for Emberly Killeen (District 10, Female) during the initial fighting. Emberly, determined to eliminate potential threats, attacked Edison, leading to his unfortunate demise.
* Cedric Hardeman (District 11, Male): Cedric's life was cut short by Daffodil Minter (District 11, Female), his fellow district tribute. In a tragic twist of fate, Daffodil, possibly driven by desperation or strategy, ended Cedric's life during the chaos of the initial battle.

4 more die by the end of the first night.

In a desperate struggle, Brutus strangles Wheaton, ending his life and securing his victory in the Hunger Games.
