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.

Re: Closed: Perry and Eponine
She looked down at her bright pink onesie, embroidered all over with pictures of ice cream and sausages, and tugged at it self consciously.
"I want a dress, Sir. This is a stupid outfit. I shall wear a dress from the statues upstairs, I think. I can make it smaller if I tie it in to me. I will make it fit."
Closed: Perry and Eponine
Perry wanted to know when death came to him, not be surprised by it. "Okay. Did you want my help in picking one out?" A small smile accompanying the teasing.
Re: Closed: Perry and Eponine
She went to slip her hand into his - just so that he could not run off and leave her alone easily. Eponine didn't know Perry very well, but he was an ally, and he was much better than having nobody.
Closed: Perry and Eponine
Perry was surprised at the hand holding. The last time he'd held hands with someone like this was with Julie. And he had jerked his hand away from her. Which is what he did right then, but only a little, before holding her hand, tight without hurting.
"Sorry, reflex." He should have held Julie's hand.
Re: Closed: Perry and Eponine
"I'm - I'm sorry, Monsieur. I ought not - It was forward - wrong! I'm sorry."
She kept her eyes lowered, and dropped back, so that she was following a few feet behind Perry. How could she have been so presumptuous? Eponine mentally berated herself. Of course a gentleman would not wish to hold hands with a woman such as her. What on earth had she been thinking?
Re: Closed: Perry and Eponine
And now he only had the memory of what holding her hand felt like. "No, don't... don't worry about it." Perry swallowed, mouth dry. There was only so much he could, and he stayed silent for awhile, walking ahead of her.
"Do you have someone waiting for you, back home?" His voice surprised even him.
Re: Closed: Perry and Eponine
"I have a Mama and a Pa, if that's what you mean? And my sister, Azelma. And... And 'Parnasse."
Montparnasse's name was followed by a sigh. She didn't really want to think about any of them, but especially not Montparnasse. He could be quite unforgiving.
"But they only wait to kill me. My Pa and Montparnasse I mean. Mama is in St. Lazare, and my sister was in Les Madelonnettes with me, but if she is released or no, I do not know. They split us up. God, I worry that my Pa will have her over. She can not cope with him without me. I dunno. Perhaps they'll think me dead already. That would be okay." There wasn't much emotion to her voice as she admitted all of that. It was just a fact of life for Eponine, and not something she particularly dreaded.
"And for you? Do you have someone for you?"
