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.

>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: judge everyone

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: Stand and Strife

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.
