Mini Arena 2
Tributes are woken early, and the hovercraft ride is a long one. Not the longest some have experienced, but they are clearly going far.
25 - 24 - 23
They land on the deck of the boat, and are ushered underneath, to the lower levels, quickly. Their stylists go from cabin to cabin, decking them out in over the top finery, before loading them into the pods installed into the corners of the rooms.
20 - 19 - 18 - 17 - 16
The platforms lift them up, and they are all ringed around a grand buffet table, loaded with a grand feast looking ready to sag down from the weight. Among the food are supplies, plenty of them, all for the taking.
11- 10 - 9 - 8
They've all been warned, don't step off your pedestal early. They have also been warned to put on a good show. That's all this is about, a good show. None of them have been told that there can be multiple winners this time around.

The sound of the gong plays crystal clear across the opening. The games have begun.

She nods at the question, though. "I'm purretty sure I do."
She's not getting out of the room without help, that much is certain, and she doesn't want to die cold and alone, if she can at all help.
no subject
Given that she's the most cat-like insect he has ever seen, and she's also very panicked by the water, the evidence all points to no.
no subject
"There was nefur any need to learn," she answers, with an apologetic sort of shrug. Besides, there's no one she can think of who would have even bothered to teach an oliveblood to swim back home, even if she'd wanted to.
no subject
He'll turn so that she can get hold of his shoulders. He's just in a wetsuit, so she might have to wrap arms around his neck to get a good grip, but holding on won't be impossible.

"We're headed for the bow," he explains as he goes. "The explosion came from the back of the ship, so that part's going to take on water the fastest. The front of the ship will sink last, so the closer to the prow we are, the higher our chances of survival will be." He glances back at her as a thought strikes him. "Trolls are warm-blooded, right?"

no subject
He has to decide quickly. The water level is rising.
no subject
Chance it is then.
"Let's try that way," she says, pointing left and hoping that Carlos can tell which direction she means.
no subject
They turn a corner into another hall, and Carlos sees a sign next to a door. The symbols are unmistakeable: stairs.
"There!" He points, then picks up speed, pushing through the water as fast as he can. "Don't get your hopes up yet. The door could be locked, or stuck, or the stairs could be flooded, or--"
He reaches the door and turns the handle. It opens just fine.
no subject
Preferably before the chill sets into her bones any more than it already has. But right now, she's more interested in the fact that stairs likely means the end of the water, and that's certainly a good start.

"Will -- will you be all right from here?"
no subject
"I will. And thank you fur helping me."
