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.

"We are not," Iskierka answers. "It is only back home that I and my captain are fighting them. Here we are fighting everyone else who has been put into these Arenas. And no one else here is from the Aerial Corps, besides."

Just her, until and unless someone else shows up, and she's not certain she wants to see her Granby in the arena anyway, even as much as she misses having him around.

"Oh...sooooo I should be fighting you then."

Ruffnut shifted into a defensive sort of stance...at least that might have been what she was doing. It was sloppy and looked more like she was about to drop to the ground at a moments notice.

She hadn't fought a dragon without a dragon of her own in a long time. And she'd never actually beaten a dragon without help. Plus a talking dragon? Valhalla was sure challenging her on her first day. Then again she should have expected that.

"Oh, we do not have to. Not so early on in the Arena. They have not yet told us that we cannot make alliances, after all."

Besides, as much as she would certainly have been willing to fight with Ruffnut, the Arena only had started. And that alone would have been more than enough to get Iskierka to give people a little bit of a headstart before fighting. To say nothing of the fact that it would rather have ruined the conversation they'd been having besides.
ruffntumblenut: (Yeeeeehaw!)

"Alliances...yeah that's good. Let's be friends." Ruffnut had to change the big word into a smaller one she was more comfortable with. She understood what an alliance meant, but it was easier to think about it like this.

"I look out for you, you look out for me. All of Asgard knows our names before this is over." She declared pumping her fists into the air.

As long as Ruffnut has got the general idea, Iskierka isn't going to complain too much. Especially since it's better than she had barely more than a moment ago. How long it'll last ... well, no one can say that for certain. But this is a start, and that's enough for her.

"Of course they will. It is only fitting that they do so."
ruffntumblenut: (Don't know if want)

Annnd, since I don't know what else for them to do shall we fade to black?
