[effy hadn't wanted to be chosen. she didn't know how to fight, even though she had trained with a knife and bow and arrow. she had learned how to stitch wounds and disinfect them, which would probably come in handy, for her or for someone else. she knew she wouldn't make it to the packs and weapons when they first arrived, so she took off instead. some of them would probably disperse for a while before coming back. kids were predictable. it was easy to guess what they would do.

so she ran for a short while before stopping and taking her time to circle back into the opening. she was careful to avoid people, hiding behind trees and in bushes, careful for bugs. a part of her was wishing she had made a team for herself. if not now, later. she could survive on her own, she knew that. everyone knew that about her. but a team member or two would help her win. she remembered that she couldn't get close to them -- not too close, anyway. if she did, she wouldn't be able to kill them. but she wasn't even a killer, and it made it all the more difficult to overcome that thought. to kill someone, a living person. a living, thriving, teenager.

she shut her eyes, trying to escape, trying to shove those thoughts out. she couldn't let it take over her. if she did, she'd go mad thinking about it. carefully, she made her way back, making sure to stop every few minutes to listen to what was around her, even looking up into the trees. effy couldn't risk dying.]

[twenty minutes into the game and he had started fires in a wide radius around the forest opening.

for his own benefit only, that was all that mattered. survival was all that mattered. tate had grabbed the packs and whatever weapons pleased his eye -- a part of him felt a pang of nostalgia, in a way. there were no guns, but almost everything else. the kids that rushed to obtain whatever they could, to kill whoever got in their way, those were the ones that tate wasn' t worried about. he would have taken his time to strangle them, but it would have taken too long. instead, he chose a knife and went straight for the jugular or heart if anyone tried to kill him first. after the first two kids, they started to leave him alone.

before he had set off into the forest, he noticed a girl who hurried out of the way of everything. she didn't waste any time at all, which was impressive, considering that everyone else had ran to what they wanted. that they fucking got in his way. he didn't really mean to kill them in the first few minutes, but it just happened. it wasn't his fault. but tate saw that she was clever. a little scared-looking and flighty, but clever. plus she was hot, an,d that was always a plus when it came to making some sort of team. he didn't really care what or who he looked like from the outside -- those people watching could eat shit, the world was a horrible place and he didn't care what happened to them.

but the girl -- he watched her. even when he was setting up small fires, he made sure to circle back to try and find her.]

ʙᴀʙʏᴅᴏʟʟ ❦ ᴏᴘᴇɴ ᴛᴏ ᴀʟʟ

[she was ready. she was ready for this, to fight. when she was lowered to the starting point, she took in her surroundings. the people, the trees, what she wanted in the 'gifts' that they presented. the gifts that all of them had to fight over. babydoll knew what she had to do. taking a breath, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the obstacles, the people she had to avoid became soldiers, ready to aim and fire.

so she ran. she ran towards her goal. she dodged whatever bullets that came her way easily, slipping between and beneath each soldier that dared get in her way. when she did arrive to the sword that had stuck out to her, something, someone, surprised her. they were hiding behind one of the crates. startled, she acted quickly and slashed her sword through that soldier. she didn't bother looking at it. it was mechanical. it wasn't a person anymore. at least, that's what she wanted to believe. once she grabbed the pack she needed she bolted. she didn't have to be there anymore. she had to find safety.

but her mission was complete. she found it. she obtained everything she needed. so off she was, into the forest, into the world that she had to survive in. a blink later, and things were normal, but still slightly different. behind her, a dead teenager lay behind the crates. she didn't want to believe she had to kill people. kill living beings. it wasn't in her to do it, but it was in her head. she could control whatever reality she had in her mind. this was the reality that she had to feed herself. it was necessary, but she needed a team. people to help her. once she was far enough away from the forest opening, she stopped to breathe, and maybe find a few people that had already run off.

she had all her weapons. now all she had to do was fight.]
