Choose your own adventure with Azula

Who: Azula and anyone foolish or brave enough to get close
What: detoxing off her meds and other games
Where: The Labs and surrounding area.
When: Week two
Warnings/Notes: Azula is coming down off an addiction to Morphling, so she may be volatile and violent

These labs were a dark and depressing place. And that was perfect for someone who wanted to wallow in her own misery.

Huddled in a nest made of desks, chairs and assorted furniture Azula had set up her tent in a far corner of the lab. She needed privacy for when the cravings became too much. When she was incapacitated with sweating and muttering and visions. Unfortunately she lacked proper privacy because somewhere in the melee and madness of the first week, one of her tributes had found her and was sticking close to her for protection.

Diana was decent company on the whole. A bit too relaxed about personal space for Azula's taste, and entirely weak and pathetic when it came to combat. They'd hardly had any training time accomplished before this arena so who knows if Diana maintained any of it.

The needs came and went. Sometimes she felt clear headed enough to hunt, and so she did. The rewards were few but she was gradually gaining an understanding of the area. Their dwindling food supply however warned they would need to travel farther from the lab if a fresh food source couldn't be found.

And worse of all, she had been in the arena this long and killed no one. Not a single person! Her last arena was over in a matter of days. This time around she'd been so focused on protecting herself and ensuring she had a safe place to detox she hadn't managed to kill anyone.

Well the time for that would end soon. How much longer could her body need to adjust to the lack of chemicals in her system?

The lush plantlife provided plenty of places for Azula to hide her beartrap.

Lurking in the trees with a sharpened stick she waited, she could wait for hours without moving, at least until the shaking from her detox came back around. For now she had her nails buried in the bark of a tree so she wouldn't accidentally shake the leaves and was grinding her teeth waiting for anyone foolish enough to cross under her. If they stepped in the beartrap it would be perfect.

If they were just close enough she could jump on them from above and try to force them into the trap? Even better.

She hated the rain.

She hated it so much that she could just scream if she wasn't biting her lip to keep from giving away her position.

Stupid STUPID Azula. She had let the hallucinations get to her. The aching and the heat and the need for her medication! Chasing some vision deeper into the woods then usual she'd found herself caught in a rainstorm and was currently taking shelter under a tree in her poncho shaking like the leaves above her.

The sound was gentle and soothing to most people, but to her it was a deafening roar that only brought back memories of her first brush with death. How close she'd come to passing on as nothing more then another failed tribute. All it would have taken was one more moment...her mouth would have opened gasping for the air it needed, sucking water into her lungs instead...

...she hated the rain. But could not, would not dare to venture out into it to try and return to the safety of her nest. The thought of it was enough to make her bite her lip even harder and taste the blood from it.

No. Fuck no. It was already snapping, she could feel it. There was no avoiding this now. The leg was a hindrance. She could even see it coming. But that didn't mean she was going to let her get away. She had chosen to stay close, and Mindy wasn't going to let that opportunity slip away. As she went down she seized the woman's leg and rammed her body hard into it, using it as her cushion even as she felt the searing pain as her leg was moved more than where it should.

The leg was gonna be a loss. Fuck, she was going to lose the leg, she'd heard dad talk about this situation enough times. No way a human could go unscathed from a bear trap, and even if they got out the leg was pretty boned. But that was not the pressing issue and she knew it.

The girl had murder on her mind, she knew that look enough. Either she let this leg damn her to die right now, or she moved fast, and that was something Mindy could do, even as pain seared into her. Once she saw the hand go into the sleeve she lunged, straight for the girl's throat. No WAY was she going to die out here right now!

FUCK, her wrist! Mindy screeched, angry, more blood flowing out of her. That bitch was good, and what was more, she could already see where her foot was going. There was no point in trying to get out of it: she was going to rip the leg more, and at that point, she was going to lose more blood. Too much at this point.

So that meant quick thinking. If this was over, she would make them SEE what type of fight Mindy Macready gave.

She brought her wrist up, even as the end was up, and shoved it into Azula's eye. Not just to hurt, not to inconvenience: she was straight up going for the meat. And when she heard the snap of the release she screamed, forcing her hand in farther even the pain burst all over her and she could feel the new rush of blood leaving her body.

"I was trained by the best, you cunt!" Yeah, obviously Mindy was not going to let her get the last word. "Have fun avoiding killers with one FUCKING eye! I'm sure you'll survive!"

Like she would. No, there was no escaping this. She couldn't even get out, and she was starting to feel cold. Now that the bitch was gone, she was free to yell and scream. Goddamn it, it HURT. Her head was swimming, blood rushed in her ears, and she could suddenly feel every little part of pain. That cheating FUCK. A bear trap!

"Damn it!" She slammed her hands to the ground.
