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.

"Sorry? Sorry?! Not yet you're not." Her blue lips curled into a cold sneer.

Vriska took another step forward hovering over the open bag. Reaching a hand down into the sack her fingers brushed up against something cool, pulling it out with a clatter. A chain. This could work. She took one end of the chain and wrapped it around her knuckles and forearm, creating an iron gauntlet. There was still plenty loose links left over to take into her free hand and twirl it around in the air.

"I am going to smear the fucking walls with that swill you call blood!" She yelled before charging him, whipping the chain tail at his knees in an attempt to bring him down and throw a punch at that dumb face of his.

The madness of the Cornucopia wasn't entirely unexpected, but Thor is still thrown by the havoc of it all. He hadn't expected tributes to turn on one another so quickly, given the obvious mutual enemy is at fault here. He can see now he's been a little optimistic, particularly when standing back from the tousling has left him empty handed for the moment.

At the very least, he's free to engage in doing what he perceives as the right thing. He certainly won't be shedding the blood of fellow tributes to appease the Capitol, so he might as well make himself useful. He sees a perfectly fine opportunity for that when he catches sight of what is clearly a vicious assault for spoils. He moves fast when he approaches, using the momentum to give Vriska a rough shove to the side so he can put himself between her and Shaggy.

"You are wounded, little one. It would not be wise to engage in battle, and I will not allow you to torment this man any further."

Shaggy is really glad this really thick dude's just put himself between Shaggy and the crazy monster girl because she was scary as all heck. "Like, thanks," he whispers to the really thick dude, who's even thicker than Fred. "I, like, really mean it."

>Vriska: Stare at huge guy.

As she went in to slug the wimpy sniveling man across the face with her makeshift brass knuckles, Vriska was so rudely knocked off course. She lost her balance staggering into the brick wall of the alley. Her blood was already boiling, someone else just made it on her shit list.

"Little? Who are you calling lit-" She cuts off as she turned her good eye to them and her face dropped. Holy mothergrub.... The guy was huge. But she recovered from the shock with a snort. "Me? Torment him? Do you see my eye? I haven't even started. Now move aside or I'm taking you down with him."

Thor casts a quick glance over his shoulder at Shaggy, looking a strange mix of entirely unimpressed and reassuring.

"Rest assured, my friend, you will have your goods returned to you." He murmurs before straightening up to his full height in response to Vriska, meeting her eyes... eye, with a solid stare. "I am." Because let's face it, he can call anyone little. "I witnessed what has come to pass, your injuries are the result of your own folly. Stand down now and I shall allow you to retreat and tend to them." His voice raises ever so slightly, enough to boom threateningly whilst still appearing calm.

Vriska stood her ground glaring harshly back with her one good eye. She honestly didn't care how big the guy was, it didn't frighten her. She didn't back down when she took on Noir and he didn't look that tough. She was getting payback for her lost eye even if the odds were against her.

She took a step forward, swigging the loose end of the chain in her left hand. "Please, threatening me? I don't scare easily. I guess I have to go through you first."

At that she lunges forward.
