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.

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.

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.

"...Yeah, no, we're not doing that."

The elevator dinged, the doors opened, and if Beck wasn't going to go in on his own Danny was going to drag him in before pressing the door close button, and the one for the 3rd floor.

It was worth a shot!

Beck backed into the elevator, just as the other tributes grew close. The elevator let out the little pinging notice as they started to climb up.

Did he ever introduce himself...? He didn't, did he?

"My name's Beck, by the way." Yeah, Beck. That was a great time to introduce yourself.
halfa_hero: (Um?)

"Yeah, I know. Network, remember?"

Beck had seemed like a decent guy from the short time they'd talked, which is why Danny had taken the chance of temporarily teaming up with him.

"You get anything useful from that mess?"

"Yeah. Right."

Beck allowed the pack to sag off of his shoulders. "I got a first aid kit, a knife...some snacks." He looked up to Danny, and handed him one of the first aid kits he got. "I got two of these. You need one?"
