Week Two: Obstacle Course

[Noah Vau - D2 (Cato)]

Obstacle Course Week 2



Obstacle Course Week 2 events

The third obstacle: Barrel hug. For this event, you will be hugging a barrel as it slides down a track. It uses your momentum to go forward, so you have to make sure to give it everything you have to make it move forward. You will roll [*roll=2500+1000] to determine how long it takes you to get the barrel down the track. You must also roll [*roll=1-2] to determine if you fall off or not. 1 = didn't fall. 2 = fell. If you fall off, 30 seconds will be added to your time.

The fourth obstacle: Stump crossing. There are 10 stumps suspended 3ft in the air, and about 3ft apart from one another. You have to cross these stumps without falling off. For this event, you will roll [*roll=2000+3000] for time and [*roll=1-2] to see if you fell off or not. If you rolled 3360, a decimal point will be added to make hundredth of seconds so it would become 33.60 seconds. 1 = not fall 2 = fell. If you roll a 2, please edit your post to roll [*roll=1-10] to determine how many stumps you fell off of. For each stump you fell of, 10 seconds will be added to your time.

Speak to me
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do

Narrow eyes glanced around at the spectators watching from the bleachers. It felt impossible to even stand here because I had made myself the laughing stock of the entire obstacle course. Such a poor performance doesn't deserve the applauds or congratulations from anyong gathered around, but today is a new day. A new chance to prove that I am worth something, but after such a poor performance it doesn't matter if I perform well or not. My entire life was torn away in a split second because of my own carelessness. How stupid could I be? To come in thinking that I had this in the bag because nobody else here was deserving of the first place win.

Nothing would change it.

Sighing to myself, I find myself preparing myself for the next obstacle. How hard can it be? Surely to goodness if I say it's easy, the entire nation of Panem would laugh because it's only setting myself up for a horrific performance, and that isn't allowed to happen. I have to redeem myself. This is my chance, and I will take it.

When it's time, I'm sprinting with all my might prepared for whatever lies before me. I lunge at the last second wrappin my arms around a barrel sending it forward with everything that I have, but right when I reach the end, I lose my grip. Crashing towards the ground, I reach my arms forward in attempts to catch myself as I curse under my breath. Shaking it off,I force myself into a standing position. It's time to go because this isn't over yet.

The first stump I step on causes me to lose my balance, and I fall off. Before I can notice, I'm back on jumping to the next one, and once again I lose my balance. Inhaling sharply, I climb back on preparing myself for the next one, yet again my attempts fail. At least I stood on it longer than I did the first two. Taking one last deep breath, I close my eyes blocking out the rest of the world before moving forward.

What a poor performance once again.

I won't ever be capable of showing my face in public again.

Surprise surprise, I am nothing.

Not last, not quite. Next to last, Mother reminds me. "You have a chance to redeem yourself," she said, pushing my hair behind my ear. "Do it." She doesn't have to finish what she is saying because I know. Do it or don't come back.

Now I stand here and I am going to try.

But honestly, being kicked out is one of the better things that could happen to me at this point.

Turning, rolling, being at one with the thin, cardboard sheets to lie beneath. It was difficult to slip into the world of dreams on a normal day, but being in another District, a place that is usually forbidden, a place that isn't home — I lay awake for hours.

I watched as the stars danced their way into the pitch-black night and I watched as the blue leaked into the darkness. Second after second, minute after minute, figments of my imagination putting on a performance before my eyes. In between being asleep and being awake, I remained.

— 

My feet went as usual, one foot in front of another like on a high wire, however there was no need to balance. The ground was even for me this time, no hills and bumps and dips. It was an easy, simple pathway for me, lined by autumn leaves and topped with a sprinkling of glassy eyes.

The next course greeted me like a stab in the chest with an icicle. I could tell that it wasn't for me, and then the klaxon rang like a mouth full of white lies, my sad eyes moved.

Wendell Gordon

Dark, coal colored eyes are surrounded by a redness of sleeplessness. A yawn escapes his lips but he merely stretches out his muscles and fashions his famous smirk: a half assed grin. A devious plot going over in his head, pushing his own imagination out into the far beyond with hopes to bring home something more than just the once in a lifetime chance of going to a different district. With dirty fingernails and all, he folds his arms up into his body, arching his back to stretch out the tense muscles and stand with a purpose.

Pleased with his first attempts at the course may have gotten him a little over zealous, causing him to slip down in points, but today was his day to show everything he had, once again. Shifty eyes peer, once again, to each of the victims that would be placed against him.

"Today is mine." He whispers under his breath and readies himself for the long haul.

His confidence is over the moon right now, with his standing currently better than he could have expected, he goes in trying to keep himself humble. Especially after practically winning the ax throw and doing a lot better than he could have expected. He realized that speed isn't his natural forte, so he goes running though the forest that surrounds the District. He still keeps up with his strength training, climbing up trees and throwing heavy weight axes and logs when he can. But apparently this week about finesse and agility, as the 3 foot logs loom down the field. He is apparently supposed to jump across the 3 foot gaps between the logs as fast as we can. The first event though is what's called a barrel hug. It is required that Pike runs to the barrel, jumps on and rides it down a track without falling off. He can hugs things pretty well. Well he goes nothing, he thinks as he runs towards the barrel.

"victory is not foreign"

These games have been an overly easy run thus far into them. It wasn't a surprise at how well I was doing in overall, really. My name was made for the leader board and to top in at 1st was nothing new.


Wandering through the crowd the obstacle course was the only event that I'd be participating in this week. Fresh lumber scented around with maple filled my nose and it was intriguing in its own way. I find myself making through the crowd with more ease than the last time, due to the check-ins already yielding and people becoming familiar with surroundings. Being in District Seven is fascinating in ways, more than Eight.


Lining up in no particular order for the next event of the obstacle course, I look to my opponents. None had very much particularly to them, however with each week and event things take a change. I knew out of best interest it is not good to underestimate any of them yet, so perhaps they'll have to prove themselves worthy when the time comes.


It isn't very long before my name is called up to take my run. Last week I was at the top, number 1, this week I must do better. 

"Are you ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

Chin high, she glances about, and gingerly rubs her upper arms. Second place in the last event- not bad, not bad at all her father said ruffling her hair, his wide, too wide smile aching with pride. Maybe, just maybe, they could come home with something decent from her victory last week.

Together they arrived at the event, but parted, for Zahara to take her place with the massive arrel. She swallows, her chipped nails gently stroking the smoothed wood, her gaze wandering across the gathered crowds.

This must be what it means to be a victor.

Her arms seize the middle, and she inhales deeply, pushing forward at the sound of an alarm.

She cares not as she peels herself away, struggling slightly bow-legged to the stumps, eyeballing them excitedly. It'd be simple enough, so long as she thought about the tightrope sized fence surrounding their home. Pointed toes propel her forward, and she moves, but her foot falls, stumbling, landing on those perfect bones.

A cry escapes her lips as she scramble upward on her left foot, the right aching, screaming, begging for help. The sharp, shooting pain resonates within her brain as she struggles and stumbles, tears falling, tearing down her cheeks. She wants to quit, her heart pounding loudly in her ears, silencing the gasp of the crowd as she slowly, slowly crosses.

She doesn't care about her time as she collapses, heavy, thick hands reaching down to pull her upwards, rubbing her back, giving her gentle words of encouragement.

Second to last?

Bullshit.

She can't shake the damn ghost hacking at her skull with an axe - and after last week's dismal failure with pain medication she's opted to grit through the whole thing with a pulsing migraine and her quickly-dropping dignity. She'd written her name on the sign ups to prove herself to the big guys that the ones hiding in the shadows were just as quick to fight back but if she has to haul herself up from one damn obstacle she might just throw in the towel. It's hard to keep fighting when you're used to weapons of words and blackmail and deceit and it's even harder to rely on sheer physical effort alone. She's not worth second-to-last, and she's not worth giving up before the end of the battle either.

----- Prometheus Stileton -----

Determination nipped at Prom's heels like a pack of wolves when he spotted his name practically in the middle of the pack of contenders. He was far from being out of the competition but he had to do well today to keep it that way. It wasn't a choice for him it was a decision and a promise he had made to himself before even coming to District Seven. So when the morning finally found its way to Prom he was standing tall and ready to compete. Hell he was ready to surprise everyone about what a boy from District Twelve could do. Who knew maybe he could actually win and bring home honor to his broken family. He supposed it was time to find out as he took off for the second part of the obstacle course that stood looming before him.
