ARENA 10-Placid Hollow

The Tributes are taken early in the morning, most of their support teams seeming in good cheer as they dress them in warm clothes, getting them to their tubes. There is obvious comfort in the familiar for the prep teams, and they chatter with, or in some cases, over the heads of their Tributes as they get them ready and load them up.

If the Tributes could see the area they are passed up into, they would see a deeply overgrown, dilapidated town green, with a large bandstand rotting away in the middle. The spoils of the cornucopia are not gathered in one spot, instead scattered throughout the thigh high grass and weeds around the town green.

Around the edge of the green, the old business stand a silent sentry, looming out of the fog as it thins and winds into them, providing much desired cover.

But the Tributes cannot see the ground around them. The fog, thicker even than it will be in the rest of the arena, makes the world small around them. The sound of the count down echoes strangely, the tributes seeming too close as the fog brings sounds of their breath, their coughing, the snap of twigs under their feet right to ears of the other Tributes. But with the fog bringing visibility down to only a few feet, it's hard to tell what is a true danger, and what is only the fog playing tricks on them,.

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

As the timer counted down, Vriska's senses were all a tingle. Every nerve on edge with excitement. Oh, she was ready for this. When the voice came over 'The Games are Open' she couldn't spring off the platform fast enough. Let the fun begin~

She took off through the heavy fog, her keen eyes squinting to see past the haze. First thing first, loot! She was making a b-line for the cornucopia when she suddenly she saw movement on her left side. A person's shape sprinting their way through the fog, but what caught her attention was a familiar face and a very familiar symbol. 8. In that moment she decided, it had to be hers.

Following on silent feet she stalked her prey, waiting for the moment to strike. God, it gave her chills.

Charles moved fast, but once he felt he was away from the others, his upper body relaxed, just a bit. His pace slowed and his arms fell to his side. He looked around. Even if someone was following him, there would be no way for him to know. He couldn't see anybody.

The heavy fog made sure of that.

He felt safe now, but he knew that it wouldn't really last.

Vriska kept pace with him, staying low as she moved. Even if he did look back she made sure that he wouldn't be able to see her. Though the fog helped conceal her. As he slowed down she ducked behind a broken down hive.

He's body looked more relaxed, guard lowered. If she was going to do something, it had to be now before someone else might swoop in. But how? She took a look at her surroundings, searching for anything that could be used as a weapon. A piece of the street was coming up and she grinned, crouching down to wiggle a chunk free. Not dicekind but it'll do.

When the man's back was turned she bolted out from her hiding spot poncing onto his back, rock over her head, bringing it down.

"Nighty night~"

That hurt. Charles was knocked over in one swift motion and he fought to keep himself conscious so that he would be able to get out of there as soon as she was gone. He was wondering, really, why she had done this to begin with. Was he going to die without even having been in the arena for an hour?

That would have been pathetic.

He wanted to stand, but no, he was dizzy. His head hurt, so he just uttered out, "Hey!"

The moment he hit the ground she wasted no time stripping him of his coveted districted eight jacket. Before he could get back up she already whipped the over sized coat over her own, taking off as fast as he feet could carry her away down the street. Looking over her shoulder she flipped him the bird flashing white fangs.

"Suck it loser!!!!!!!!"
