It's the dark hour before dawn. You exit the lift into the torchlit ballroom, the massive and beautifully decorated room where the feast was held. The room features tall pillars with ornate vases sitting atop them, the walls are lined framed mirrors, there's one circular dining table with plates and cutlery set up for three, and in the center of the ballroom is a fountain with a statue of President Snow. The last time you were here you were greeting by cheering crowds, bright camera flashes, and a barrage of questions from the media. Today the room ominously empty except for four people standing by the iron gated door in the back of the room.
Vester and three Capitol sentries armed with spears stand next to the gate.
Vester holds a microphone and a small black device. As he spoke, his voice came through the intercom and echoed through the ballroom. "You’ve had your fun cavorting around the Training Center, but now, I'm sad to say that it’s time for this all to come to an end. I hope you came prepared, because they're certainly prepared for you." Vester flips a switch on his device. "Come, come. It's dinner time. Let the Feast of the Tributes commence!" Vester drops the mic. A sentry pushes some buttons on a keypad and the gate opens. Vester leaves and the iron gate closes behind him.
Then you hear it. A buzz. A drip, drip. Finally a screech.
Three muttations enter the great hall. The first darts in from above. It zooms around the room quickly, making it difficult to get a good look at it. The winged creature is about 4 feet tall. Then the statue of Snow comes crashing down and water sprays in all directions from the fountain. Something big squeezes out of the narrow water pipe where the statue once stood. It keeps mostly hidden in the fountain's pool, but as it peeks out at you, you notice a wooden shaft sticking out of its brow and blue blood trickling down. Finally, you look up and you see a beast clinging to the ceiling in a shadowy corner.
Make a post in the “Final Submission” folder. Write three paragraphs, each detailing how you fight one of the three muttations. To survive, you must write the best story while addressing the following:

Make a post in the “Final Submission” folder. Write three paragraphs, each detailing how you fight one of the three muttations. To survive, you must write the best story while addressing the following:
- How does it attack?
- How do you avoid its attack?
- How do you attempt to kill it? Leave the end of your paragraphs open ended, not actually killing the muttations yet (i.e. “she charged at its tail with a pair of scissors for the killing blow…”). If you accurately answer all the questions, then your attack will be successful.
