Week 2: Pole Climbing

[анзие (Anz)]

Pole Climbing

Welcome to the pole climbing event. Before you is a 60ft/18m pole. You have a safety belt to put around you as you climb the pole. Several spectators are gathered around cheering for each of their favorites. Competitors will climb at the same time. Everyone can see how each individual is doing, but it's in your best interest to not pay attention. Whenever the signal is giving, you will run forward wrapping the belt around yourself and start climbing, but be careful because you can fall. Once you reach the top, you will ring your bell to stop the timer. Remember, you are trying to bring honor to yourself, and you want to make your district proud.

The execution of this event is simple. You may roleplay your character standing at the bottom of the pole getting ready to climb. At the bottom of your post, you will use the following dice [*roll=1700+4500] without the asterisks. This will give you a 4 digit number. A decimal point will be placed making the seconds into hundredths of seconds. (example: 5328 will become 53.28 so 53.28 seconds.) You will also need to roll a 3 sided dice to determine if you fall where 1 & 3 are safe and 2 is a fall. If you fall, you'll need to roll [*roll=1-25] to determine how many extra seconds are added onto your time. The two will be added together to get your total time. After everyone has rolled, feel free to edit your posts accordingly. I'll keep an updated lists with the times.

There isn't a posting order!

Have fun and good luck!

Paige Hope

After coming to district seven my dreams have been worsening of Lily with the District Seven tributes. In my dreams they were always mauling Lily with their teeth while Lily cried out for me and there was nothing I can do. I feel like crying every time I speek her name and I hate it when somekne calls out to me now. It feels like they are straining to not say Paige and Lily, as wehave always been a pair, and now half of that pair is gone, but old habbits still remain.

Now I stand at the base of the pole, wanting to climb up, my nerves jumping to attention at the prospect of climbing, something Lily and I both did so well. I remembrr my sister scaling the Scrap Heap. I grasp hold of the pole, and I wait for the whistle, three, two, one now! Then I start to shimmy my way quickly up to the top.

After quickly completing the barrel hug but falling and flopping when it came to the stump crossing, my spirits were in the midst of a storm. To feel elated at the speed of the first event, but to be knocked as my feet apparently couldn't stay on one single stump.

A fucking stump.

I shook my head and left the frustration on the site of that event, and as I dillydally from one to another, I'm met by the contestants in the pole climbing. There's a small girl, the same looks as the one who just died in the 70th games.

Dead girl walking? No, my mind must be playing a trick on me.

I dip my head and look to my feet, patiently waiting my turn until the referee gestures me to go. My being trembles with nerves, shaking like a leaf, not new, old.

Three, two - breathe - one.

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

It's time to put the obstacle course out of my mind completely. It was a living nightmare making my way through the obstacles - my only hope is I don't come in dead last. Hopefully with these last two events, I can catch some ground up and keep myself going into whatever lies next.

But this is a different event. A pole climb. A chance to show the world that I deserve the first place prize. I completely flopped in the obstacle course. It is in my best interest to stay focused on the prize ahead. Maybe if I just completely clear my mind of every single worry in the world, I could compete better. I have nobody to please. No friends. No family. Nothing.

It's just me in this world.

Just me and the pole.

Making sure all the safety equipment is working, I stand at the bottom of it staring at the top wondering how fast I could scale this thing. Surely being skinny would help me out, yet it could also hurt me. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes forcing myself to relax.

And when the signal to go is given, I take off climbing as fast as I can. Maybe this is my show because I don't know what I'll do if it's not.

Wynn had never planned to be climbing up a pole any time in his life, and that had more than one meaning he originally meant. He never thought that climbing up a pole in public and for competition would be something he was doing either, but here he is. He wouldn't spend much time worrying about it, this is competition. This is winning. This is all about that best time because they got the most bragging rights, the most prizes. He always wanted a kitten. Maybe even a litter; those were in the part of awards they were giving away. Wynn wondered what Renly had gotten, but there was no time for wondering, there was only time for climbing. Climb he will.

The ring had filled his ears with almost a jolt telling him to start moving. What did he do? Move, duh.

~Connor Opasion~

    Connor could feel the excitement rushing through his body as he walked with Thomas by his side to the pole climbing event. For the both of them this was the first time they had left their own Districts and Connor was very surprised how different two Districts so close could be. Alas all that mattered to Connor was the young cutie who walked beside him with their hands casually interlocked. Although Connor would never admit it yet he could feel his heart beat from Tommy's. However he was suppose to be a bad boy like everyone else in his gang, not a little cry baby lover boy. So for now as they strolled into the designated competition area together he would keep it a secret. When the sound of his own voice was called Connor winked to Tommy before strolling up to the pole with a smirk on his face. Not only was he going to try to show off for Tommy but he was actually quite excited to climb. So with a childish grin he began as his little gong went off.

I was half way decent at taking care of that log chopping, but because if my small size, and talent at clibing trees, I knew that this would be cake. I was going to demolish these bulky men. How excited I was to make a fool out of these kids. This was my real time to shine, my time to create an image for everyone here. I was going to win with a glory brighter then anyone else had. If only they understood my drive to impress. Being locked away really creates an image of power.
