ARENA 09 - THE MUSEUM
The Tributes are woken up early for this Arena, and switched from whatever sleeping attire they're currently in to a set of pajamas, each designed for the individual in questions. Women wear onesies, and most of the men wear two-pieces, but other than that any similarities are at random - the outfits are in all sorts of colors and patterns.
The floor of the helicopter taking them to their Arena location, and of the underground entrance to the tubes that hoist them to the surface, will feel cold under their bare feet.
Rather than bringing them to sunlight, like the tubes have in the past, instead the Tributes are presented to a dark concrete ceiling in a badly-lit parking lot. Fluorescent lights do little to illuminate the cavernous space.
The countdown begins, announced as if from far away.

18…
The Cornucopia, a ghastly thing carved from stone and concrete, sits at the center of a pattern of white and yellow lines reminiscent of spots for parked cars. The painted lines create a sort of spoked wheel, providing lanes for the Tributes leading to the prizes at the center. Some of the more unfortunate Tributes will find the concrete architecture has placed pillars in their lanes.

6…
Six parked cars lie around the outskirts of the huge lot, barely visible in the dim lighting. Glowing exit signs on two opposite sides of the chamber announce where Tributes should go to escape the bloodbath. Elevator doors are perched beneath them.

The gong rings out, and the countdown's voice announces "the Arena is now open". The Games have begun.

Life and death; he dealt with it all time. But to be in a place where death was the point, and killing another meant victory, he needed to be cautious.
"I don't want a fight! Really!" he took another step back, prepared to bolt, knowing how quickly she could end things for him even if he got a head start in his run, "You just surprised me."
no subject
She didn't have a weapon, aside from maybe a sliver of broken glass if she found one. If he decided to be deceitful, this wouldn't go well.
no subject
He probably shouldn't be smiling at, let along telling his name to someone that could potentially kill him at any given moment, but he couldn't help it. It was in his nature to be polite. Subaru still didn't move closer to the woman. He may be polite, but he wasn't that stupid.
no subject
"Nice to meet you... I guess."
no subject
Optimistically hopeful? Yes. He knew that much. He saw the looks on the faces of the others gathered in the garage. Some were hungry for this event. He couldn't count himself among them. Subaru wanted nothing to do with the death a blood shed happening in this place. And the only way to deal with that was to escape.
Holiday also hadn't attacked him yet, so he had taken that as a good sign. Whether that would hold or not, was still to be seen.
no subject
"They could have been brought in like us, assembled in here, or the place could have been built around it. The only thing I plan to do is secure an elevator." Even if she did plan to escape, she would never dare to say such a thing out loud. In a way, by shooting down his hopes, she was keeping him alive.
no subject
He looked up, avoiding her gaze for a moment before looking back to her, "I don't want to get in your way then. I apologize for startling you Holiday."
no subject
"Good luck."
