Elimination Ceremony: The Fire Burns To the Moment
Monday, August 2, 2010
The night was born, with fog starting to form, and the warm crackle of the fire was heard throughout the island. At the Hornets Dorm, the contestants were excited and enjoying themselves by staying up whispering to each other about how they plan on winning
For the unfortunate guests, who have to sit on the solid wood logs, staring at their host and co host, with some of them, a desperate sparkle in their eye, praying that they will recieve safety and survive another week.
The contestants stared into the fire, which lit the rocks that faced them orange, leaving the rest of the island black and blue. They stared into its flame, trying to see themselves in it. There was a feeling in all of them of the feeling of guiltiness.
Hope was their life at this moment, and elimination was their death.
Matbolabc held a bucket of coconuts, freshly collected from the silent beach near the docks, which faced the calm, shaky waters, which made a lot of penguins wonder what was out there. The tide washed over these coconuts, along with algae, so Mat had to warn the players that they may get their flippers wet while holding them, so hold with care.
Penguin874 looked more serious than usual, with a baseball cap covered his eyes and spiked up hair that everyone knows. He rarely spoke, only to explain a few things.
"This week...," he spoke. "...the Fireflies have faced their first loss in weeks. This means one of their players is going to be out, which has been something we haven't seen in awhile, since Sandy got out."
Matbolabc looked over at Peng, and lowered his head at the coconuts.
"Let's go over who has coconuts," Matbolabc instructed. "The first five people who are safe are...Slidoo, Ang, Sebastian7, Chilly, and Purple. This means either Firestar9003 or Swimy1998 is out."
The air grew tense, with Fire feeling intense pain in his head, feeling sweat pulse from his temples on both sides of his head. Swimy wasn't sure what to say, and looked serious and not goofy for the first time.
"One of you will recieve this gift, knowing you will stay on the island and compete for your chance at victory. The other, lost without a gift, will be leaving with his chances of winning stripped from him."
Firestar and Swimy exchanged nervous looks, and then look down at their feet, scared for the next words.
"The person who will recieve this coconut is..."
Swimy didn't say anything, as he stared back at his fellow contestants, who looked very pleased in his elimination. Swimy stood up straight, stared at them, and said, " Thank you for being great, guys. No matter what. Win this game, Fireflies." He then proceeded to step into the boat, and sadly wave to the contestants, as he was driven into the gray smoke, where, then, the players yawned, and head back to their dorms, ready for the next challenge.
