[Day 5] Decathlon: Pole Vault

[aya]

DECATHLON: POLE VAULT

Welcome to the Decathlon tournament of the second Panem Olympic Games! The track and field complex is located within the Olympic Arena, with stands for spectators traveling from Districts One, Two, Four, and the Capitol to watch the competitors. Television cameras are set up around as well, to broadcast the event to anyone staying home as well as to the other districts who aren't as lucky and competent as you all! Please be sure you stretch and warm up with your coaches before you're called to the starting block, and remember, make your district proud!

The execution of this event is somewhat more difficult than the other events. Feel free to roleplay your character making their vaults, warming up, etc as you would normally. However, instead of pasting a single code in once, you will be pasting different codes in for success/failure at different heights. You will have three chances to clear each height.


Everyone clears the 4.60m jump automatically. You get three tries to clear each following vault, with the odds getting worse for success each time. You will need to edit your post each time for multiple vaults / to add the next jump. BE SURE TO LABEL YOUR VAULTS. Here are the odds:

4.70 odds: dice=3
1 clear
2 clear
3 miss

4.80 odds: dice=5
1 clear
2 clear
3 clear
4 miss
5 miss

4.90 odds: dice = 7
1 clear
2 clear
3 clear
4 clear
5 miss

5.00 dice=9

5.20 dice=22

11-22 miss

5.30 odds: dice=21
1-9 clear
10-21 miss

5.40 dice=19
1-8 clear
9-19 miss

5.50 odds: dice=10
1-4 clear
5-10 miss

5.60 odds: dice=6
1-2 clear
4-6 miss

5.70 dice=4
1 clear
2 miss
3 miss
4 miss

5.80 dice=50
1-10 clear
11-50 miss

5.90 dice=12
1-2 clear
3-12 miss

6.00 dice=14
1-2 clear
3-14 miss

6.10 dice=16
1-2 clear
3-16 miss

6.20 dice=18
1-2 clear
3-18 miss

(From this point on, should it be necessary, the dice follow this pattern, increasing by 2 for every .1m and needing a 1 or 2 to be considered successful.)



The competitor with the highest successful vault wins this event. Heights for this event will be continually updated on this thread; however, the overall decathlon standings will be updated on a separate thread.

After everyone has rolled, feel free to edit your post with your character's reaction if you so desire, but please keep it to one post rather than multiple.

There is NO POSTING ORDER; you may post your shots whenever you please. Keep in mind, though, that this is meant to move pretty fast, so we're not looking for exceedingly long posts.

“I am not a woman.
I am an inferno.”

She stood nervously in line, watching as those before her made their jumps. It wasn't so much nerves as it was anger. Her hands clenched and her brow narrowed. The last time an event had included a jump she had not done so well, there was something about the height of it that had thrown her off and she had been unable to make it even past the first jump. That Circe bitch however had done wonderfully and she was sure to again. Amazonite had never considered it possible to be beat but when pigs like Circe fly a lot can go wrong.

HIGHEST: 5.20

Next to last is not something to be proud of, but I guess I have accepted it. I've lost my edge. Even after years of training for a competition ten times more rigorous than this, I am an utter failure. Makes me wonder if I ever really was on the road to success at all or if it was all just some ridiculous dream that I had that I was never, ever going to reach.

Holding this pole in my hand I imagine a sword, glinting in the sunlight. I imagine it glistening in blood. I imagine I have killed someone - anyone - it didn't matter. As long as I had killed, I had in some way succeeded. Then again my sister killed and she still failed. Even my little brother had killed and failed. But at least they were the careers that everyone seemed to fear. At least all that work - or perhaps even lack of work - had built up to something that let their names be heard. At least they did something with their lives.

I was useless. Still.

I wasn't even sure if I should try this stupid pole thing or not. It wasn't like I was suddenly going to sprout wings and be able to launch myself into the air as high as the clouds or anything. I was setting myself up to fail, and for some reason, I couldn't stop. I just lined up and twisted my body and tried, with broken wings and a very broken spirit, to fly.

Does, Says, Thinks

First they asked for us to toss ourselves over bars without any assistance, just our bodies, and now they thrust poles into our grasp and demand another round of this foolish activity wth the aid of said poles. It's insane, repetitive and something I really wish I could simply ignore. Unfortunately it isn't optional, and I am too stubborn to remove myself from the running for first - and haven't I subjected myself to more than enough running already. It seems like this damned competition will never end and yet the conclusion is in sight. It lies so close now, just over the tops of these Ripred forsaken bars.

Now it was time for the pole vault. At this point I'm pretty sure its mathematically impossible fore me to get to medal positions. Its almost as if nothing is going to help a lost soul like him. His family was not happy with his performance, he blew it again and again, and now he is at the bottom.


8th, time for redemption.

It may be too late, but I don't give a fuck.

CIRCE LYON

The press hovered like vultures outside the changing rooms, ready to pounce on any of the ten competitors as they made their way to the stadium. Circe offered them her smug smile and nothing else. If they wanted to print countless photos of her track suit, so be it. She had no words for them, not until the end. And it was fast approaching.

The shake she'd had for breakfast sat uneasily in her stomach as Amazonite once again proved the Shore Boot Camp produced well trained little monkeys. Circe anger sat cold as a stone in her chest. It seemed that yet again a Shore would take the glory, yet again it would the Shore's name in Panem's hearts. Opal Shore survived the arena which so cruelly had taken her brother, and Amazonite would conquer the Olympic Park.

Circe seethed instead of aiming, clearing only the easiest of vaults before stumbling.

alita argent

She smirks to herself as she watches the battle from the sidelines. And it's not just the fight for victory on the field that keeps her silently entertained - the duel between the Lyon girl and the girl from One is just as riveting as the scores on the board. She sees the angry stares, the seething glances, the wringing of fury-filled hands and the desperation from each of them that hangs in the air so thick you can practically taste it. Petty fighting was never her style (she leaves gossip and quick-fire insults to her best friend) but nonetheless, the girls give her something to muse about when she's not miserably averaging on the scoreboard.

MILO BIRCH

It's decided. I'm worthless. I am legitimately, utterly worthless in every way and I deserve to just die in the games or something. I don't know. Maybe there is a special place in hell deserved for worthless wannabes like me. What would Logan say if he knew how horribly I failed in the Olympics? Logan who is bringing home medal after medal. My family is going to disown me, I'm certain.

I might as well volunteer for the games and offer myself as the first sacrifice in the bloodbath. That ought to pay me back for this pitiful performance.

Oh well, just one last day of horrible performance and then I can go hide beneath a rock for the rest of my life. That would be good.
