Anthem - Day 6

[WT]

Back home, your week would be ending. The weekend might be an improvement or it might not—perhaps you'd get to sleep in, perhaps a friend would throw a party, perhaps you would wake at the crack of down to go to a long and unforgiving job. At least it would be a break from the monotony of school. (You are all upstanding young citizens who attend school, right? Good, good. We couldn't bear if you weren't given the privilege of learning to adore and fear the Capitol.)

You will never have a weekend again—not unless you survive, and every day makes that goal feel further away. Your last Saturday will be more of the same scalding climate, your last Sunday more bloodshed; you will spend your hours putting off not schoolwork, but death. As if to drive the point home, the remaining breeze sputters out as the sun goes down, leaving the world depressingly still. You barely have any sense of time passing until the anthem blares to life.

Once again, only a single face appears—

Benat Izar, District 11

—and you expect the nightly ritual to end quickly. Instead, a familiar voice crackles into existence before the final chords of the Anthem have fully faded. You groan as you recognize the Games announcer, Claudius Templesmith.

"Hello, tributes! It's been quite a week, hasn't it? Six days down, almost half of you alive, a trail of dead mutts... You must be the only ones having more fun than us!" Is he serious? You think he is. If you get out of this Arena you are going to stab this man in his sleep. "Since so many of you are still kicking, we here in the Capitol thought we'd congratulate you by inviting you to a fun little engagement in our Gardens. We trust you can bring your own entertainment, but we'll have some goodies out for you. It'll be to die for." He pauses, giving you just enough time to wonder if he actually thought that was clever before continuing. "Of course, you don't have to come if you don't want to, but you know, we'd really hate to have you miss out." A hint of menace creeps into his bubblegum tone. Then, blessedly, he is gone.

You count rapidly. With one more dead, there are ten tributes left—nine enemies for you to face at this feast, assuming everyone goes. You really don't want to deal with this, especially since you were planning to head elsewhere. But if you decide not to risk it...

Looks like you're going to a party this weekend, after all.

Congratulations on surviving Day Five, Tributes!
