Okay, so I have good news and bad news. The good news is that we have something extra special coming up after this report - more on that later. The bad news is that today was utterly boring.

Nobody died. Nobody! Where's the fun in that? The best we had to watch last night was reigning champion Lola sneaking into the cafeteria for food, or the bizarre spectacle of Peregrin trying to bandage a hologram's injuries.

Be fair; Derik and Hop's sleep-duel was entertaining.

Yes, until they woke up. And once everyone was awake… more nothing! Just a bunch of people running away from each other all day, plus Derik doing his best to electrocute himself.

So are you thinking about running the-?

Shh! And yes. But that still doesn't make up for today. Not even seeing Lux try to seduce holo-Acacia makes up for today.

It's pretty funny, though.

… true.

Well! After that awful report, it's time for some good news. We'll take a short break, and then we'll have an extra special report from NTV's very own… Dafydd Illian!

Some Suvians just won't die. Some CAFs resist everything you can throw at them. Some wraiths are just too corporeal to exorcise.

Fortunately, there is a solution. Order Ye Olde Poisonous Poison now, and never find killing too hard again.

Hello. Before I start, I have to correct Undis Closed: I am not 'NTV's own'. I work with them occasionally, but never for them. Got it? Good.

Now: you know what's worse than getting killed in the Hunger Games? That's right: getting killed early in the Hunger Games. All that anticipation, all that training, and you just go out straight away. It's awful. This year, that was me, going out in the Qualifiers. So a few of us got together, talked to NTV, and persuaded them to simulate a run-off, to give us all a second chance.

Then we had to bully or abduct all the other failed qualifiers. That took a while, but finally we were ready. We headed into the backup holodeck, and ran the program.

And then I got killed. Again. Navare wasn't even aiming for me - he had his sights on Zee, but… missed. For all that, though, I'm not quite last place in the Games - that honour goes to Laura Dukes, who found Harris quite unwilling to grant her quarter. Then, seconds before I took my hit, Morgan stabbed July out of the games, giving me a comfortable 70th place.

The bloodbath lived up to its name for once: Richard took out Hip, while Colt and Jesse ganged up on Barid. Holo-Acacia's holo-partner, Holo-Jay, took a stab at Corolla, but the little Unison Device was only stunned. Not the only one - Constance managed to knock herself out, too. Oh dear, love.

So the survivors spread out into HQ, and we saw an immediate teamup I'm going to call Team Murder: Richard, Jesse, and Harris. They didn't manage to kill anyone, though: that honour went to Corolla, who succeeded in poisoning Navare. Obviously, I was cheering her on. Connie managed to hunt down the Canon Library and spent the day reading - attagirl.

And then, just as everyone was winding up for the night, bang: out went the lights. The producers had sprung one of their dreaded arena event, and it was absolute mayhem. Team Murder got separated in the confusion: Richard managed to hunt down Colt and eliminate him as competition, but Jesse ended up falling to the Tiger Lily.

Nor were they the only ones. Our two Time Lords, Morgan and the Aviator, both tried to portal away from the darkness, but both portal generators malfunctioned. You might think that sounds suspicious- oh, hello, it's Sergio, isn't it? How nice to see you. Hmm? Oh - pause recording.

-esume. Sorry about that. The rest of the deaths were a mixture of skill and comedy. Ix and Rayner essentially suicided against Zee and Sarah in the dark, while Corolla successfully stalked and killed Doctor Peep. Since I'm on her side, I assume the Doctor was an archvillain of some description. But the kill of the event goes to Agent Alleb, who first robbed Holo-Jay of everything except the shirt on her back, then came back and laid her out cold.

Constance, you'll be glad to know, stayed in the library the entire time. I think she had a torch.

So, by the end of day one of the runoffs, more than half of us were dead. Only ten tributes remained to go into the first night - which we'll see tomorrow.

Oh, apparently after the break we'll have interviews with the tributes from the main games. Possibly some from the runoff, as well? I'm not really clear on what they're doing.

Fire. Fire is good. Fire is clean. Fire will solve all your problems. Use fire.

This message has been brought to you by the Department of Geographical Aberrations. If you burn things, we'll burn them with you.

So this was apparently a really good day to start the runoffs. I love the fact that they're insanely murderous - far more so than the main games!

You can do interviews with your runoff competitors if you want, but as Dafydd said, you don't have to.

I've sneakily snuck it into the previous day's interview, which described the axe. I'm really really impressed, seriously.

It makes all the hatchet shenanigans worthwhile. ^_^

hS

The Canon Librarian: "Tried teaming up last night. Not convinced it's a good idea. Probably led to having all my stuff stolen by the scary lady with the hatchet, honestly."

Luxury: "Wow! That old guy was sure interesting. Who would've guessed?"

Kyaris: "So Hop is kind of sweet. Less sweet and more laughable is that Michael person: what, he thought he could make me do anything I didn't want to? Did he not bother to count my heads?"

hS

As usual, I have too many stuff under progress at the time, so I basically have to take turns.

Next turn is IrregularS' next chapter, then it is Blank Sprite time.

How's Chapter Six coming along?

... who the Aunt Kuroko from the other mission is implied to be? (Though it's kind of spoiler from Blank Sprite)

Please have a pot of black-hole coffee. Hope you'll enjoy your stay in the madhuse.

This thing was fun and crazy, and involve an inventive way t kill the glitterrbag. What more could I say about this story?

The fic is a mess, but the mission is sure great. And the way you end it is really interesting.

Now, Keiko, Homura Akemi would like to discuss with you about the importance of firearms for a magical girl. She has... other opinions about this.

And a last point, a small typo here: after they shoot its tyres off.

Here's a Coppermind medallion, for the memories you'll make here. This place is amazing!

Two pillars to Heaven, caught aflame. A nation, shaken. A decade and a half of war and crisis, heralded.

There is no complete erasing the pain, the sadness, the tragedy. Even after so many years, there is still the memory of the lives lost, the world shattered. Now, after all this time, the best we all can do is move forward, and hope. Hope for our children, and their children, and an uncertain future.

But we can never forget that day, exactly a decade and a half ago.

The day when the Twin Towers fell.

*salutes*

Glad to hear you've done all the pre-reading. Here's a big bag of fries and fry bits! I couldn't find any ketchup, sorry.

Ooooh, and you play Terraria?! Nice! How far have you gotten? Do you have a go-to boss/Dungeon-crawling strategy? I'm at the point where I can fight the Brain of Cthulhu if I want, except I REALLY don't want to until I find that meteorite biome, plus I'm not that good at staying alive in boss fights. (I think it took me like four tries to kill the Eye of Cthulhu, and then it was only by spamming flaming arrows and Enchanted Sword beams.)

Aside from one of my own shed feathers, have a replica of Rose Quartz's sword on a trophy display stand! Perfect for a call to arms when danger rears its head!

Top kek.

Well, you're certainly thorough. Nothing left for me to ask, really, so here's a Royal Ice Cream Container! Instructions for operating are as follows:

1. Close lid.
2. Speak desired flavor of ice cream aloud.
3. Open lid.
4. Enjoy!

Comes with all, and I mean all flavors, but don't blame me if you vomit from the Grass, Turnips, and Human Flesh combo. *Shudders.* Please, don't make that exist, for my sake. Oh, it also functions as a very effective shield. Our tests have proved that, when in direct confrontation with a nuclear bomb, the Royal Ice Cream Container wins. The ice cream isn't even radioactive afterwards. However, this particular one has a slight flaw in its magical programming. If you attempt to try Spidren-flavored ice cream, and again, I beg you, don't make that exist. It's rather disturbing to think of a human eating that. However, if you do decide to try it, when you open the lid, you'll get a vision straight from the Chamber of the Ordeal, and seriously, those suck. Ask Kel. If you don't know what either of those things are, and the phrase 'Protector of the Small' means absolutely nothing to you, then just take my word for it and don't make Spidren-flavored ice cream.

Thanks!

We have a Discord channel, too.

Which reminds me: it's been around for roughly two and a half months now and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon; who's for mentioning it (because linking to it doesn't work very well) on the header?
