27th Hunger Games

## Arena

The 27th Hunger Games was set on a crystallized planet with veins of ore and crystal crackling throughout the arena. A toxic mist throughout the arena made the tributes see the crystals as mostly purple. The Cornucopia was set inside of a dome at the center of a space base.

## Synopsis

Drusilla Mynthe had an idea to bring a sense of abstract realism to The Capitol. In doing so, she took inspiration from Luna Baroma's tenure as Head Gamemaker.

The tributes began standing inside of a hollowed-out asteroid. They were equipped with an air-tight jumpsuit and an oxygen tank. When the countdown reached to 5 seconds, the tributes dropped from the asteroid and landed safely on the pedestals below. They were in awe with the planet's surface and were especially fixated on the bismuth crystal orbs around the arena.

When the Games began, the bloodbath was eventful, not just from the deaths but from the lack of preparation for this type of arena. RazorShok (D3) would claim first blood by killing Beetee\_Latier (D2). Most tributes ventured around the arena instead of hunting each other on Day 1, but some hit the forcefield and died. Most notably the District 8 tribute Gigi, who was the first to hit the forcefield.

On Day 2, only 12 tributes remained. At the crack of dawn, the bismuth crystals began to crackle and break as they revealed themselves to be eggs for horrendous and alien-looking mutations. These mutations could fly and run on land. Some of the tributes encountered these and for those who died, their bodies played as hosts as the alien mutations laid their larvae inside of the tributes. As the number of tributes dwindled down, black holes began to appear around the arena that sucked the tributes in and spun them around in a vortex. When the black holes went away, the tributes were called to a feast. Most of the tributes remained dizzy and nauseous after their encounter with the black holes.

Day 3 came with only 6 tributes left. The tributes began to hear an ominous beeping sound as their oxygen tanks were announcing that they were low on oxygen. Scared stiff, the tributes began hunting each other. KushLyfe (D2) encountered Franmingo (D7) and tried to sneak up on her to decapitate her. However, Franmingo heard his footsteps and turned around. KushLyfe began to choke Franmingo. Quickly, Franmingo grabbed a piece of sharp crystal and smashed it against KushLyfe's life support helmet--killing him via environmental asphyxiation. Unfortunately, Franmingo didn't realize the crystal she used to kill KushLyfe was one of the bismuth eggs. The alien that came out of it was furious and dug a hole into Franmingo's throat, killing her. TheItalianMan (D1) would die to being overwhelmed by the mutations as well.

The final 3 were RazorShok (D3), Glosta (D4), and James (D5). The Gamemakers decided the time had come for the deathmatch and decreased their oxygen tanks to contain precisely 3 minutes of oxygen left. The Gamemakers announced that within 3 minutes their oxygen tanks will be depleted and that a bunker underneath the Cornucopia will have new tanks available for them.

All 3 showed up to the bunker. They quickly equipped their new tanks and the deathmatch began. Glosta stabbed razor in the abdomen and began to run after James. Razor, convulsing in pain, held the wound spot tightly to keep the blood from coming out.

As James ran throughout the bunker, he knew he was a goner. Knowing he was done for, he noticed canisters that read "chlorine triflouride". Thanks to his time in District 5 studying chemicals, he knew that it was highly flammable. He began spilling the flammable liquid all over the room he was in. James grabbed his lighter before he was stabbed in the back by Glosta's spear. He gasped and dropped to his knees. Smiling at her soon-to-be victory, she watched James' life fade away. At that moment, James died and let go of the lit lighter. Glosta watched in horror as the room caught fire and she was burned alive.

Razor laid in agony before he was announced the winner of the 27th Hunger Games. Razor passed out from his wounds and the Capitol Medics had to rush into the arena in order to save him. Razor would go on to live but had scars on his body that would never heal.

RazorShok was declared the victor of the 27th Hunger Games and the First Victor from District 3.

## Notable Flora/Fauna

The mutations were noted to be able to be primarily land-based hunters but could have the ability to fly. They had four arms attached evenly to their sides with a long, sharp tail. Their entire body was covered in scales. These mutations were listed under the Gamemaker files as a "Locust Mutation". Their primary trait was an insatiable hunger.

Notable flora included trees that were crystallized and gleamed with the morning sun.
