Task 2- Preamble
"I'm so excited." Tris rushes ahead of Annabeth and Artemis Fowl as the three make their way to the Gamemakers room.
"Of course. The events within the last three days were more exhilarating than lunch here the last three weeks. I don't know how you guys did it, but I only survived because I spent my free time- which was about half a day- designing Mount Olympus." Annabeth flicks her dirty blonde hair over her shoulder as she falls back into her seat, turning towards her sleek silver laptop which had a blue, glowing triangle engraved upon the top; her last gift from Daedalus.
Artemis was the last to enter, a peacekeeper gently closing the door behind him. "I am almost certain this bloodbath will be something worth having a conversation about. After all, it does include the Fowl Manor, something I bet many people within the Capitol and the rest of Panem would love to see." As Head Gamemaker, work piles up a lot quicker than if it was for Annabeth or Tris. And usually that work takes him up to 2AM in the morning. It is a challenge, but Artemis always loves a good challenge. He rubs away the last trace of sleepiness from his eyes and straightens his tie.
"Everything should be in order." Annabeth shifts through different files, giving them one last check. "Is everyone ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be. I was just notified that the last tribute has entered their tube. Time to show everyone what we've been working on these last few weeks!" Tris says eagerly, unable to conceal her euphoria.
Artemis's eyes glinted with dangerous excitement. "Is everyone ready? Then let us begin."

Task 2
Hey guys!!! Welcome to task 2! XD
As the platforms lift up and into the arena, you see that all of the other tributes are lined up in a circle, surrounding a gleaming gold structure: the cornucopia. The cornucopia shimmers in the sunlight cast down from the sun above. To your left is an enormous hill, and the castle that stands upon it is none other than The Fowl Manor. The Fowl's home for centuries. To your right is a grassy field, sweeping across immeasurable land. But in the distance sat numerous dull, grey houses, each and every one lined up perfectly with the others. As you probably already guessed, the buildings in the distance are where the people of Abnegation live.
Within the Cornucopia are 19 silver draw string bags. Just enough for the 19 tributes that stand as of right now. Over the loud speaker, a voice claims that whatever those bags hold will give you immense amounts of advantage later on. And luckily, everyone gets their fair share. At least, that's what your tribute thinks. (Unless your tribute's personality says otherwise) As your tribute runs off the pedestal though, you're tribute will soon realize that getting those silver draw string bags are a lot more difficult to fetch than they originally planned. A cyclops, sharp teeth glinting within the sunlight crawls out of the Cornucopia, snarling at the tributes surrounding it. The feral and bloodthirsty beast positions itself at the forefront of the pile of the silver draw string bags, barricading any way to the precious pouches. Will you decide to take your chances and fight the cyclops for a bag that supposedly held treasures within them; treasures that could very well mean the difference between life or death? Or will you choose to escape the clutches of both the cyclops as well as the bloodthirsty tributes by running towards refuge?
No matter what is chosen, your tribute must then decide which way to run. Will you run towards the safety within the walls of the Fowl Manor? Or shall you sprint towards the grey houses inhabited selfless people of Abnegation? You must choose one. Staying at the cornucopia is not a choice, nor is going somewhere other than the two locations I've mentioned above.
NOTE: At the end of this task, 4 of you will be (unfortunately) left behind.
