The Webcomic Hunger Games: Day 3
“Welcome to another day of this year’s edition of the Hunger Games, featuring many of your favorite webcomic characters!”
“But not many of them are left anymore, Caesar.”
“Yes, only seven if I counted correctly. Claudius, do you think Woo will continue his yesterday’s killing spree today?”
“Unlikely, Caesar. But let’s wait and see. Anything can happen in the arena!”
“A large group has formed, led by our current favorites Rocky and Woo. That doesn’t look good for poor Red and Phoebe.”
“They’re still so young and innocent. It’d hurt my heart to see them die.”
“District 8 and 12 must be sitting on the edges of their seats!”
“I’m surprised it took Rocky that long until his first kill. I almost placed a bet on him making his first kill right at the Cornucopia.”
“And he killed Guy with poison. He always looked more like the ‘axe murderer’ type to me.”
“The Games are always full of surprises, Claudius.”
“Yes, they are… Poor Phoebe could tell you a thing or two about it.”
“And yet another interesting day comes to an end. While District 10 and 12 mourn their dead tributes, we’re already super excited what will happen next in this year’s Hunger Games! So don’t forget to tune in tomorrow. Same place, same time!”
well that was disappointing.
My money’s on Woo. Because raccoons are cunning bastards.
Why have comments been vanishing?
How did Rocky get Guy with a poisoned drink? The events to date must have really rattled her cynicism, which I didn’t think would ever be possible.
@ Dorje Sylas:
Well, it’s a matter of stealing her canteen, dropping the poison in it, and placing the canteen back. Which he could have done during his guarding shift.
I’ve been looikng for a post like this for an age
– Yay for bloggers at wedding receptions!! And I can’t wait to read and comment the HECK out of your post on ‘letting the opinions of others dictate your life,’ cuz, MAN! I’m the poster grown-up for that lately.And I have a really good feeling about the agents, and your WIP. You’re talented and smart and putting all sorts of good mojo out there – including helping a certain *friend* at her son’s wedding reception.Love you!February 24, 2011 – 8:26 pm
Shell shocked. God brought me here. I will be thinking on this for a while, even under the stars (not tonight though! I'm cold out from under these covers!). Time for me to dust some things off.I particularly liked what Joyful mentioned, in addition to this:"Instead of trust we choose manipulation. Instead of faith, we formulate a back-up plan just in case our God doesn’t come through."Oh so true!Bless you!Maria
