MOTHERS' DAY HOLIDAY

Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

MOTHERS' DAY HOLIDAY

MOTHERS' DAY HOLIDAY HUNGER GAMES!!!

Hi, everyone, I'm NerdFace, and since NiteSkiies had to leave, I thought I’d take over this holiday, and until they get back! I apologize that there is no D&D theme, I just wanted to keep it simple for my first time. 

Commentators here are my Alter Egos and my CAPTCHA, Adrian, Dallas, Evan, [Stella], and ||Qwinn!||.

Annnnnnd now it’s time for the reaping! Which will surely make all our mothers cry. 

Everyone should cry once. It’s eye opening.

We’ll only find out if you be quiet.

Fine.

*crickets chirp*

KITTY CAT stops and smells the roses.

NERDFACE and ARIEL threaten a double suicide. It fails, and they both K.O.

No!

No!

NO!

|| noooo! ||

Yes!

[Yes!]

Well, that concludes the Mothers’ Day HHG! Thanks for watching, and congrats to Kitty Cat for being victorious! You have received immunity from the next games!

*grumbles* I can’t believe I lost. Twice! Grr.

Tune in next Monday for the Tax Day Holiday Hunger Games!

---

Well, I’m sorry that this is so late, but it is here, and it is still Mothers’ day. I hope you liked it! If you have any advice for me, let me know! I used the BrantSteele Hunger Games Simulation and added in some cheesy-mothery stuff. I also used Wheel Decide! for choosing the tributes. 

Hope you had a wonderful day and goodnight!

Hey, all the text styling is gone.

Oh, well. Oops.

Tax Day isn't the next holiday... right

No. That was supposed to be a joke.

Thank goodness.

Uh huh. Also, Kitty, if you'd like, I can revoke your immunity. The HHGs are always fun. :)

Awesome! I love it! YAAAYYY! Also, Carla wants you guys to know-

I'm okay. That's what I say. I am out for revenge. And I have my eye on you, PJ.

Please calm down. It was just motherly love!

This is so good! It's interesting to see how everyone's Hunger Games is a bit different. Also, I love how so many of the deaths were from hugs and/or motherly love. XD
