Hello and welcome everybody, to the first (and possibly only) installment of the Deltarune Hunger Games!!

In this game, your favorite characters from the hit indie title Deltarune will be placed in teams of two, and will be locked in a grand forested arena. Their goal? To be the last one standing. 

This simulation was absolutely wild, having more than a few hilarious and horrifying moments that I knew I just had to share with everyone. So, kick back, grab a snack, a drink, place your bets in the comments below, and enjoy the game!!

Keep in mind, whenever I'm simply describing something in the game, my text will look normal, like this. 

(When I'm adding my own personal comments or memes, my text will look like this.)

With all of that out of the way, let's get started!

The Tributes

In District 1, we have Clover and Ralsei.

In District 2, we have Rouxls Kaard & Jockington

(A district of two jokester characters? No way that could go wrong.)  

In District 3, we have Sweet & Noelle

In District 4, we have Susie & Mike

(Looks like lady luck is on Mike’s side today, because having Susie on his team is probably the best start he could’ve possibly asked for.)

(Mike is here to see cinema in the making and nothing else.)

In District 5, we have Spamton & King

(THIS.)

  (King finna be raising a second child by the end of this.)

In District 6, we have Queen & Catti

(The chronically online one and the actually online one. I’m sure they’ll get along great).

In District 7, we have Seam & Tasque Manager

(Hopefully their opponents are allergic to cat hair.)

In District 8, we have Kris & Lancer 

(I feel like this pair might actually have one specific thing going for them. They’ll never starve, because both of them will eat anything.)

In District 9, we have-Asriel & Starwalker

In District 10, we have Swatch & Jevil

(0-0 .Poor, poor swatch. He doesn’t deserve this. No matter what reality he’s in, he’s always stuck with a Tumblr Sexyman.)

 (I guess that opens up the question of which scenario is worse? Dealing with Spamton’s bullshit all the time, or dealing with Jevil’s bullshit in this life-and-death scenario? Either way, Swatch, buddy, I’m so sorry for this.)

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but in District 11, we have Dess & Gaster

(They’ve crawled out of whatever void-hole they’ve been squatting in for the past who gives a fuck amount of years just for this occassion and this occasion alone.)

In District 12, we have Berdly & K_K

(Not sure why, but something about this team just screams ‘meme characters that are actually serious threats’ energy to me. I’d keep an eye on them…maybe.)

In District 13, we have Cap'n & Top Chef

(I can’t decide what kind of relationship these two would have at all. One the one hand, they might hate each other because Top Chef is kind of formal and Cap’n is not. On the other hand, I could kind of see them growing to like each other overtime. My brain just can’t decide.)

An lastly, in District 14, we have Nubert & Mallius

(Absolutely legendary team here. If this team doesn’t win, I’m blowing the whole studio up.)

And with that, all of the Tributes are ready and on their podiums. Place your bets now, because the game is about to begin!!

Chapter Text

Clover snatches a bottle of alcohol and a blade. (Mood).

Ralsei breaks Rouxls Kaard's nose for a basket of bread. (>:0)

(…That better have been some fucking good bread.)

(Ignoring the fact that Rouxls doesn’t even have a damn nose, the game hasn’t even gone on for one minute and my boy Ralsei has already dropped being a fluffy boi in favor of being a fuckboy. My dude didn’t even give Rouxls a chance to do one thing before it became his problem. No, Ralsei is here to cause problems, and Rouxls was his problem.)

(And poor, poor Rouxls. Things have barely gotten started and my man is already taking straight Ls. As if he wasn’t taking enough in Deltarune already, he just had to be the one character that the simulation shits on first. If it weren’t so accurate, I’d be nearly upset by the sheer disrespect Ralsei is showing my favorite himbo.)

Jockington clutches a first aid kit (????) and runs away.

Sweet clutches a first aid kit and runs (????) away.

(Neither of these make sense.)

(Unless that’s some sort of toolbox or something, I have no idea why the hell Sweet would ever need a first aid kit. He’s a robot, some band-aids and neosporin ain’t gonna do much but make him look like one of those old cars held together with duct tape you always see in Walmart parking lots.)

(Jockington somehow ‘running’ is also making my brain buffer. My boy has no legs, yet he canonically runs cross country in the base game??? The image of him slithering around faster than any of the other characters can run was too cursed of an image for me not to try and capture.)

Susie and Dess fight for a bag. Susie strangles Dess with the straps and runs.

(holyshitwhaaat?)

(And the first kill of the game goes to the violent tormentor, Susie! Looks like I was right about Mike just having to sit back and watch while his partner in crime does all of the work, even accidentally. It took less than a minute for Susie to start taking bodies. She’s just started out and she’s already proving she is not to be messed with.)

(But at the same time, I’m afraid I can’t quite approve of her target. Dess didn’t even get a chance to be in the spotlight before she was sent straight back into obscurity, from being stuck in ‘future chapter hell’ to being stuck six feet underground. What a world we live in.)

(Let’s just hope Noelle doesn’t find out about this, or all the Suselle shippers will be rolling in their graves because there’s no way that’s happening after this train wreck.)

Mike finds a backpack full of camping equipment.

Spamton finds a backpack full of camping equipment.

(Oh Hunger Games Simulator, what lovely coincidences you give me. Can’t help but wonder which one actually copied the other? On the one hand, Spamton copying other people is already on brand for him considering he tried to imitate Swatch, but on the other hand, Mike lives in a TV world, and if there’s one thing I know about mainstream TV, it’s that nobody who runs it has a single original thought in their head whatsoever. )

(Either way, in just a few minutes, Mike has already established himself as a goddamn instigator, he's out here to watch all of the drama unfold, and if there is none, he'll cause more himself. Him being an old T.V. here is fitting, because he’s already acting like the piece of trash he probably is.)

Queen thinks about grabbing supplies, but decides to run for cover instead.

Asriel rips a backpack out of K_K's hands (bruh whyyy)

(Asriel absolute monster moment aside, when I was first organizing everything from this simulation, I showed my friend/beta reader the sketch of this particular scenario, and the only thing he had to say was ‘that’s in character for Queen lol’. The shade being thrown here is unbelievable.)

Catti snatches a bottle of alcohol and a blade.   (pardon??)

Kris runs away with a sword and some rope.   (canon weapon ftw)

Lancer finds a bow and some arrows.    (baby with a gun??)

Swatch finds a bow and some arrows.     (Revali is that you??)

Starwalker takes a spear leaning on the cornucopia.    (how?)

Jevil takes a spear leaning on the cornucopia.     (Oh God)

Berdly scores a bar mace from inside the cornucopia.     (aww hell naaww)

Cap'n grabs a sword.

Gaster finds a bow and some arrows.

Noelle takes a spear leaning on the cornucopia.    (lol nope)

(Damn, everybody out here getting a weapon!)

(Because of this, the amount of time it took to draw the Bloodbath's scenes was cut in half, lol.)

(Amidst all of these, I can’t decide which one terrifies me the most. Swatch out here lookin’ like Revali has me a bit concerned....)

(....but I think giving Lancer a bow and arrow might be the biggest mistake this game could ever make.)

(Or at least I would say that if Jevil with a spear wasn’t lurking right there as well. Even if it isn’t his weapon of choice, giving Jevil a weapon of any kind is almost guaranteed to end in disaster. Chaotic, painful disaster.)

(I honestly can’t decide if this is a good thing for Swatch or not? On the one hand, being on Jevil’s team means he might be spared from the clown’s imminent body count. On the other hand, he might end up on said body count, since following the rules of a game isn’t exactly Jevil’s M.O. Swatch, you'd better watch your back bud.)

Tasque Manager clutches a first aid kit and runs away.

Seam thinks about grabbing supplies but decides to run for cover instead.

(haha pussies (get it??)

(Even so, they're the only team that actually did relatively the same thing. Sticking together equals +20 respect points to the kitty team from yours truly.)

Topchef dashes to the forest to avoid the bloodbath.

Mallius gathers as much food as he can.

Nubert stays at the cornucopia for resources.

King stays at the cornucopia for resources.

(I have no comment about Mallius, Nubert or King, but Top Chef is out here tryna make me cry-laugh. My man is on a mission, and the mission is to survive. Or to at least survive long enough to leave some sort of impact on a game for once.)

(I wish Ralsei would’ve broken your nonexistent nose instead of my beloved himbo Rouxls. You Pyramid Head lookin ass Gordon Ramsay kinnie.)

(Can you tell I'm not the biggest fan of this dude?)

Ahem...and with that, the Bloodbath is concluded and the game has fully begun! We've already lost our first player in December Holiday, an absolute tragedy to be sure; but I can tell you right now, her death will be far from the last, or worst, death in this simulation. The art can sometimes take a while to make, so please be patient with me while I get the next day's contents ready.

Until next time, Adieu, viewers!

Chapter Text

Clover fishes in the water for food (awww)

Ralsei falls and scrapes his leg while running away from Rouxls Kaard (XD)

(Oh how the turns have tabled. My guy wants some of that sweet, sweet revenge and I’m all here for it. Ralsei you better run, and don’t drop any of your bread on the way…)

Jockington, Sweet and Susie are attacked by a hoard of vicious dogs.

(How the hell all three of them survived this is beyond me. Sweet I kind of get, he’s built like a damn vending machine after all, and Susie strikes me as the kind of person who could handle some stray dogs. Jockington though?? How in the actual fuck was he able to survive dogs playing tug of war with his spaghetti ass body? What plot-armor do you have and how can I give it to someone other than you???)

Mike makes a wooden spear from tree branches.

Queen makes a wooden spear from tree branches.

(Mike just saw Susie get bodied by those dogs and he’s already lost all his faith in her. He’s gotta get ready to move the plot of this thing forward himself before his partner gets fucked over by the next day.)

Catti sings a song while searching for a food source, she finally finds some wild berries.

(hmm……. I bet this is what she's listening to)

Asriel overhears Kris and K_K talking in the distance

(Fuck yeah Asriel big brother moment ftw.)

Lancer discovers a water source.

Spamton discovers a water source.

(Spamton, my pal, my amigo, my favorite tumblr sexyman. I love you, and I really want you to win this, but if you touch that child I’ll break your back like a crunch bar.)

Swatch, Jevil, Berdly and Cap’n form a suicide pact, killing themselves so that nobody else can.

(Holy fucking Jesus shit. That’s a whole district gone already, and it’s the one that I enjoyed the most.)

(Poor Swatch couldn’t even get through the first day, he was already so sick of his teammate’s bullshit.)

(I’m choosing to believe that this is somehow Jevil’s fault. I have no proof that it is, but I’m choosing to believe it anyways. You clown ass clown. I will remember this.)

Gaster tries to kill Noelle, but she is able to escape.

(I didn’t even fucking notice this until I reread the script what the hell???? I guess this is just Gaster’s way of coping with the fact that his teammate/her sister was the first one to die?? I guess? Idk I’ve got nothin’.)

Tasque Manager, Seam and Starwalker hunt for other tributes.

(Starwalker out here acting like the third imposter in a Discord Among Us game.)

Topchef searches for water and firewood.

(I hope he dies of thirst.)

Mallius runs away from Nubert.

(Ummmm, Nubert, that’s your teammate. The hell are you doing??)

King thinks about his family and starts crying.

(Damn, that’s surprisingly wholesome, like, you probably couldn’t have picked a better character for that, the simulation out here tryna make me cry.)

5 canon shots can be heard in the distance.  (  :'(  )
