Day Seven - The Feast

Better than digging the grave of a "friend".

To the rest of you....what the Dickens! Amp was a worthy Tribute and his artistic renderings were legendary. This arena is a cold and drab place. The light and warm that Amp brought should have been cherished, if just for a little longer. I'll miss you, friend.

Your words ring hollow, friend.

District 4 welcomes all of you. Please walk this way and I'll show you to your rooms for this stay:

I thought S I was Octavia.

No, I am Octave.

(And so is my wife.)

Oh, Clove, you know as much as you say. Nothing.

I have formed my own society and have organized a beautiful memorial reef for the remains of all the District 4 fallen.

You should check it out, it really is quite nice:

(and not far from my house)

Cato wrote:

just remember: everyone busy attacking Clove and I will be vulnerable to attack, themselves. Why gain an item when you can eliminate an opponent you'll need to face later?

But if we don't take at least one of you out, then you'll win even sooner. Besides, we're too old to fall for some scary tale of boogeymen coming after us as a distraction.


So in short, I refer back to my previous statement that


"...your ass ain't talkin' your way out of this."


(also another good celebrity answer)

Well nobody was near me and as everyone saw I only have short-range weapons, so I guarded myself. If I knew Arbor was going to flake out I would have happily used a block for the cause.

Interesting. You could easily have done both. The thin sheet of plastic was your primary item. You could also have thrown your sand. I'm assuming now you did. Just not at Cato.

Didn't Cato use the Jabberjay to communicate with you in the early days of the game?

I know she posted her notes here somewhere.

Ah, yes, here they are: (Page 4 of Day 6)

Quote :

District 6 - Carr ally of Cato's failed lynch by other alliance day 2, failed attack day 2, guarded from village lynch day 2, attack day 2, and poison day 2,

So you owed Cato, didn't you Carr?

You blocked Arbor's block of Cato yesterday, didn't you Carr?

Octave, I respect your deductions. You've shown effort and skill in this battle, and the loss of your token means you no longer have to die asap. I look forward to observing your moves as this battle progresses. God speed.

At least you didn't call me "friend".

I'll say this. I was pleased as punch to see that I not only cured Clove but lived as well.

I guess that would depend on what type of punch...

we're all just going to guard ourselves today, aren't we

Nope - been calling to break up the district pairs for days. Though this is a nice tactic to point people away from the fact that you're in the only other one that remains. Well played.

Yes, but if you'll notice at the end of the first or second day of it she Alliance lynched me rather than recruit me. So she earned no favors with me.

Hawaiian Punch...

Indeed.



Friend?

Looks like so, people cutting their nose to spite their face. We SHOULD be thinking bigger picture.

This. And I don't think you are whom I originally thought you were. Do you (Octave) happen to live in Long Island?

I'm guarding myself. I don't know about you jokers.

I thought about killing Carr when I thought all the people who signed up to the board for me actually counted...but then I had to switch.

I'm in the only other pair? I'm the only remaining Tribute from District 3. Thanks for rubbing it in.

There were two Alliances. If you'll notice Cato's notes said "failed lynch by other alliance day 2". Cato's alliance never lynched you.

Nice tactic to point people away from the facts, though.

Who's paired with Neptune, then? Without the avs it's pretty impossible to remember districts at this point.


ETA: And why would I take what she says about trying to kill me at face value?

Cordelia is paired with Neptune in District 4.

Ah ok, I see she's also paired with Foxface in the "not even trying anymore" District

Correct. She has disappointed me time and again, but I will remain faithful to her all the same.

No. Unfortunately I currently reside in a land-locked state.

But we met in Redbank once.

Looks like we are both mistaken then. I have never been to Redbank.

Then I'm glad I didn't call you out for accepting my friend request on facebook and then quietly dumping me a few months later. I was going to let you know I don't post multiple updates each day about my cats anymore.

I don't know who either of you are.


If you don't know who I am by this point, you should probably just use your spears or whatever on yourselves tomorrow.

I submitted my powers: I attacked Cato, blocked Neptune, and guarded myself.

Oh, and none of my friends reported back to me that they signed on to be a Sponsor. Bastards.

Neptune wrote:

Actually, you and I share something in common.

Octave wrote:

I think you were only allowed to use one item. At least that's what I was told when I asked.

Yeah, isn't it ironic, don't you think, that Neptune got to be Neptune?

/random my ass

But you've been nailing it.

Loved the flood reference in respect to signing up sponsors.

And the "see the sea" quote.

I only used one too!

Octave wrote:

Gracias.

I didnt have much time the first few days, survived on luck more than anything else.

Well, then you'll just have that many more powers than me tomorrow if we both survive.

I wouldn't say that. Just not much to talk about in here. We aren't voting. Lets rumble!
