[Day 5] Decathlon: Long Jump

[aya]

DECATHLON: LONG JUMP

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 simple. Feel free to roleplay your character setting up for their jumps, and then paste the code [*roll=195+600] without the asterisks into your post THREE TIMES and roll, as you would with a Hunger Games die. This will result in a three-digit number that will correspond to a distance, which is read with a decimal point separating the first two and the last two digits (e.g. 682 is read as 6.82 meters) Each participant will be measured by their best jump only, not their average distance or the sum of their jumps.

The competitor with the furthest distance wins this event. Distances for this event will be continually updated on this thread. After you have rolled, feel free to edit your post with your character's reaction to each jump if you so desire, but please keep it to one post rather than multiple.

There is NO POSTING ORDER; you may post your jumps whenever you please. Keep in mind that this event must be wrapped up by the end of the Olympics Day.

“I am not a woman.
I am an inferno.”

She had done better at the Pole Vault than she had expected to and her confidence when it came to jumping was back up. While there were probably some that had done better than her, she had just been pleased to have made as many jumps as she had. Considering the fact that on day one she had had the worst jumps imaginable in the high jump. Maybe it had been a one-off, a fluke. Today was going differently for her, she was going to win that gold medal and bring it back home to Nero Grimm. She was going to wipe that smug look off of his face and strike fear into the hearts of her enemies.

MILO BIRCH

Seventh place. Seventh lousy place. Milo was clinging at strings here. She was grateful for her victories in the last two events, but if she didn't catch up with her competitors soon she was screwed. Today was the day that she would fling herself to gold and beat the tributes olympians at their own game. Today Milo was going to take her crown.

Ray Baitwell

Maybe there was some way I wouldn't get dead last?

I don't see how, but I guess if there was a more optimistic person looking at my situation they would be able to see it. "Ninth place? Eighth place?" is what they would suggest with a smile on their face and an excitement and determination to cheer me up. And maybe if they were the right person they would be able to convince me that it was okay to get 9th place out of 10. But I see no one, and there is no convincing me.

It's too late now; I've failed. So this is how I see it: the sooner I jump, the sooner I can go back to my house and begin to turn myself into the Career I have always wanted to be. Successful.

Does, Says, Thinks

They seemed to have some sort of attraction to jumping, whoever those people who decided what hell my folly entailed. This was the second event to require the usage of my legs to spring myself, and from the sound of it the secondary event of this day was also one and the same. It was silly to me that someone might have to jump multiple ways in order for the judges to see they know how to, but it seemed in order to reach the conclusion of this madness I would have to do as they wished - though I cursed them fervently whilst no one was listening.

Let them see that, despite previous lapses, I still am the best. It should have been plain by this point but once again, the judges seemed to need multiples of everything in order to appraise its truth.

CIRCE LYON

This was it, the end of the Games events, the final test of her strength and stamina. The last chance for her to remind Panem of half her soul. She so tired, so weakened by five days of exertion. Is that how he had felt, at the end, hounded relentlessly by Mutts? Had he just been tired to go on? Had he even known he would leave part of himself behind?

CIRCE LYON

The announcement echoed throughout the stadium. She looked up into the cameras, a grim smile on her face. Lyon. That was the only word she needed to hear to propel her. She ran and leapt, three times. Though no one would fault her for the grace of her stride or the length of her splits in mid-air, she always seemed to land in the same place, far from glory.

Alright. The pole vault hadn't been too bad, I think I performed well. Now it was  time to get my game on for the long jump. This would be the final event, and I was still towards the bottom. Although I know my chances were gone a long time ago, I'm still ready to win. I want this more than anyone, I want this event. 

Just give me the long jump.

Just.
Let.
Me.
Win.

There is a part of me that is thankful this is one of the last events. A rush of relief slides through me at the thought of leaving this all behind and going back home with my running gold. I'd never admit that, though. There is a part of me that wants to do badly so I won't come fourth, which in my opinion is worse than dead last. I'd never admit that either. And there's a part of me, so small and buried deep within myself, that is almost glad my mother isn't alive so I don't have to come home to her disappointment and face the consequences of not being good enough. But I'd never admit that - not even to myself.
