Holiday stayed motionless as the arena was plunged into total darkness again. Disorienting wasn't a good enough word for this. Not only did she not know how long she had been in this place (it felt like eternity) but she also had no handle on a sleeping pattern. The latter might have been a good thing, though... Still, going instantly from bright to dark was really annoying in a place where everything was trying to get the drop on you.

The heavy blood loss and shock was still wearing down on her, but Holiday had been doing considerably better since then. Her left arm was still gone, of course, but she was managing. Honestly, it was luck she was alive. A fight hadn't come her way since the Cornucopia decades ago.

She did make Chris go his separate way, but she had a feeling he didn't go too far. That was fine with her. So long as Holiday wasn't weighing him down, that was fine. Chris had a real chance of winning this one if he could last just a little longer. For now, she was just focusing on getting by. Her gifts of food and water had come at a surprising and thankful twist. Perhaps Jack saw something in her that she didn't. It was enough of a motivation to keep her moving.

Finally, her eyes had adjusted again. Soon enough, the blinding day would be back and it would be another panic attack of who was where, but it wasn't right now. Holiday let out a silent breath and continued to move. Migrating was key.

Migrating had kept Barbara alive. Migrating... sunglasses... earplugs. And a tent. Most of which didn't really help when night suddenly fell. Sure, she could have put up the tent and slept through the "night," but it just kept coming and coming and coming.

It was almost a relief when she saw Holiday, a somewhat familiar face; it kinda helped that she was lacking an arm, too. It meant Barbara felt a bit safer about coming forward into the doctor's space.

"Funny running into you, here."

"I haven't died from sugar rush," she admitted, thinking of her sun glasses and tent. She'd been doing a lot better than most, actually.

"You eat any good gummy bears?" Doki dokis. Great, so long as you didn't find a hand in their stomach or something.

She glanced at Holiday's arm, and then flinched at her own internal-joke.

Her stomach rumbled before she could respond, distracting her from her own embarrassment. "If you don't mind... I could show you some of my recipes." If only she was joking.

'You got any candy plants?" she asked, somewhat sarcastically. There were of course limits on how much could be done for recipes in a place made of sweets.
acro_bat_ic: (what?)

Everything but the doki doki themselves. She moved to pluck up a few pieces of candy grass. "Ever cook with sweets before?" she asked, looking for the death wound. If she could slip some into its stomach or something...

"These things could use some more fire," she muttered, darkly, before finding one with a couple cuts. It wasn't much, but by widening the wounds, she could start the grisly process of packing it with candy. Hopefully the internal temperature would set the sweets to melting while she started up a fire.

"I'll make you my porkchops some time."

There's a limit to ingredients around here - and sugar is occasionally useful in recipes...

This is largely just one big experiment, though.

"Only when I have to," she admitted. "I don't think the sugar rush is much better than the poison."

"One home cooked dinner, coming up," she promised, shifting to a more teasing tone as she finished the dinner prep. Now it just needed to cook a bit.

Better than hunger, right? She hears that one really sucks.

"Might I just want to share the risk." She's a bit nervous.

"It'll be done in a second."

"Because the meat's so much safer... She was poking the doki's teeth as she said that, making a little face.

Soon enough, though, it was time to try and carve up the meat. Her makeshift dinner was done.
