Carac looked at Clem and shook his head while looking at the ground.
“I’m sorry I didn’t vote for you but I kept you alive. Qadyn needed help, and I took him at his word. Maybe this isn’t the right place to trust people but I did and he saved us.”
Carac looked back at Nilla. “At this point I’m willing to try whatever. If you think it will work I’ll help out.”

Nilla's grin softened watching the other tribute begin to tear up. She sidled up to Clem and slid one of her noodley arms around her shoulder, "Its true we may not have many options but we always have the option to fight and..." She sighed and took a step back to look Clem in the eye, "I know this is scary and terrible and horrible and trust me we ALL feel that way but," the redhead shook the blue spray bottle and nodded towards the containment room, "right now we have a small fight we might be able to win."
She looked around to all the tributes gathered, "I'm not stupid. I know that our chances are next to nothing and I know death could be right around the corner for any of us but..." she looked pleadingly at Clem, "Will you at least try to trap these things with me? If there's anything you know from that communication device that could help us in containing these things...please tell us." Nilla held up the blue spraybottle, "This might protect me from the things hunting us down but I never for a second thought about not offering it to you. I'm just asking you to treat us the same way."
Her grin was a bit tired now but she offered its best to Carac, "I'm glad you're on team containment."

"Speaking of," she held up the spraybottle, "anybody who wants to be sprayed down tonight before this goes down just say so."
"Just in case this thing has a time limit on it I'll do it right before we are ready to put the plan in action!"
(If your character replies at any point in this thread that they would want to be sprayed down assume that Nilla does so.)

Clem sighed, guiltily looking at the spray bottle.
"Farathil never wanted to hurt us. He wanted to have a fun charity game, but he was overruled. So they were going to ship some 'controlled muttations' into the arena. Apparently arena delays kept them from delivering the mutts, and then they escaped. Farathil thinks they may have been let loose."
"Farathil tried to kill one of them in the Training Facility. He said he couldn't kill it without getting a 'direct hit'. He was still drunk and his aim was off."
"Then he talked about how there were bugs all over him. And like I said before, he had that sickly sweet smell."
"That night, Huck got stung. He wasn't himself. He attacked and killed Mox and Minnie in some kind of rage state. Then he just collapsed."
"That's pretty much it. I hope at least some piece of that is new information to you guys or I'll feel REALLY dumb. So there. My cards are all on the table. If you're going to kill me, fine. I probably deserve it."
She spread her arms out to the side. "Now hit me with that eau de Vester."

"Bugs...?" she remembered something she had seen elsewhere in the laboratory, "Hey Peach could you try putting the smallest drop of that red stuff on the insect underneath the microscope and see what it does?" "Oh!" she added, "Let me spray you before you do."
She smiled at Clem softly, "Thank you...seriously. I hope this plan works and no one dies. Besides...none of us deserve to die."
She tapped her chin in thought, "But direct hit? Is there an obvious weakpoint on this thing? Have any of you seen any information on animals besides bugs and beetles and moths?"

Peach looked at Clem and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were all in this together.
"Thank you for sharing that information with us, Clem. That's almost all new information to me. To add to the story, we learned last night that at least one of the mutants is a water beast and it seemed as though someone had tried to attack it with a harpoon. They at least wounded the beast because there was a trial of blue blood. I wonder if Farathil was the one that attacked it, but was unable to get a direct hit with a harpoon. They're not the easiest weapon to wield."
"Did you guys notice that bug in the microscope? It looked like a louse to me."
Peach was shook by the thought of Huck going mad. He had been so team-oriented when Peach had met him. Clearly something had set him into a fit of rage.
She turned to Nilla, "Squirt me down, all the cool kids are doing it."

Peach looked down at the vile. She noticed the writing on the bottle for the first time. "Permethrin" she read out loud. "This is used to treat head lice. We used this on my youngest sister Kumquat when she had a really nasty infestation. I don't think this will protect us from all of the mutants... but it may make our deaths less itchy."
Peach presumed that the louse sample in the lab was dead, but went back to check.

Nilla have herself a nice spray down as well. "Now at least we're all on even standing." She looked towards the open containment room, "Now we have to prepare for phase two."

“Vester was definitely researching different types of bugs. Might have something to do with it. My question is we were told votes for who died but it seems like they’ve been able to control the animals as well as people. How are they doing that?”

“Vester was definitely researching different types of bugs. Might have something to do with it. My question is we were told votes for who died but it seems like they’ve been able to control the animals as well as people. How are they doing that?” Nilla tapped a finger to the blue spraybottle, "Clem said that Farathil had talked about being covered in bugs and after being attacked Huck went crazy and started attacking others. I don't know much about the type of diseases transmitted by stuff like mosquitoes but I know for a fact there are diseases that can be transferred through blood sucking creatures like louses. I mean rabies is saliva but maybe there's something transferred by blood that causes mania and murderous tendencies...susceptibility to suggestion? Anway, maybe these bugs are putting something into us that Vester didn't want in him so he..." she shook the spraybottle causing the liquid to slosh around inside. ":Didn't you also say he was looking in to how to selectively fragment memory?" She asked Carac, "I still think he might be removing parts of our days in here..." |
