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.

"Alright, deal." Ellie said, grinning. "Zoo, soon as one of us wins."

Sandy hadn't intended on inviting them, but she had to admit the idea appealed to her. The more friends the better right?

"OK, let me out near the elevators so I can go find Pruna and tell her not to ya know...stab you guys." A murder between them would surely spoil their plans.

Mindy would still keep that in the back of her mind. Pruna, after all, was pretty hardcore. She wondered exactly how many people had actually fallen to Pruna in this thing and never seen it coming.

"It would be good not to get stabbed," Mindy said winking at Ellie, "or hit by a car in retaliation."
onlyimmune: (smug as shit)

Ellie laughed, and then grinned. "Hey, there's worse ways to go. Pruna's fucking awesome."

The car rolled up by the elevator and Ellie pushed open the door, to hop out and check around.

"Right. All clear."

Sandy bailed out of the car next. "Thanks for the ride. I'd pay you but...no change."

An actual joke. Sandy was starting to feel confident about this arena. Maybe things were getting better.

Mindy parked as neatly as she could and came up last, pocketing the keys.

"I'll just take it out of your hide later," Mindy said with a wink.

She would regret that.

"Right. Let's fucking blow this place open," Ellie said with a grin.

And then she hit the elevator button.

Sounds good to me
