Mini Arena 2

[etcircenses]

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.

5 - 4

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

As the countdown ended with a sound of gong, Mariko froze. She knew she had to go and grab some kind of weapon if she wanted to survive this arena, but she still couldn't bring herself to move. She just stared the cornucopia and people that were heading towards it.

The shock from explosion was strong enough to make her to fall backwards, but it also managed to wake her up. Instead of rising to her feet, Mariko sat up and scanned her surroundings quickly. Just as she spotted a shiny knife between her and the table, she began to crawl towards it as quickly as she could in her heavy, frilly ball gown.

(GAH! So sorry for delay >: )

No worries

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut was recovering as best she could with food all around her. She shook her head to try and clear her vision and it was then she saw the knife.

After a moment longer she saw the other girl aiming for the knife.

Grabbing the first thing that came to hand (A fist full of warm mashed Potatos with gravy and bits of peas that had been mixed in when they fell, Ruffnut drew back and hurled the sloppy weapon at the girl to distract her.

[arrhenphobia]

The flying mashed potatoes was something Mariko didn't expect as she extended her hand to reach the knife. The messy chunk hit her right to the to chest, causing her to let out a disgusted scream. She quickly straightened her back and began to wipe the mess out off her dress.

"Why did you do that?!! -- Hey wait that is mine!" She shouted as she saw the other girl going for the same knife. With only food scattered around her, Mariko picked up a whole turkey leg, slimy and dripping wet from both sauce and grease, and threw it at blond girl's direction.

[ruffntumblenut]

"SPLAT!"

The turkey leg found it's mark with a dull thud overshadowed by the juicy sound it made colliding with Ruffnut's forehead.

As grease and sauce dripped off her face she glowered.

"Oh you are so dead!" She declared and began scooping up everything in arms reach. A handful of macaroni came apart in the air but soggy broccoli was surprisingly dynamic. She threw the Turkey leg back as well as an entire ham.

[arrhenphobia]

"W-wait no!" she tried to shout but it was too late as Ruffnut's food attack came toward her. All she could do was to lower her head and try to cover her eyes with her hands so that any food wouldn't get into them.

But when she saw thw blond girl lifting up a whole ham, Mariko rolled quickly behind the table nearby, out of the harms way.

[ruffntumblenut]

The ham made a satisfying "THUNK" on the table and Ruffnut figured she must have won. Glancing around for the knife her face fell when she couldn't spot it.

Unbeknownst to both girls the knife had been snatched up while they'd been busy fighting.

with a frustrated shout Ruffnut gathered up a serving dish of pudding and hurled it at the table Mariko had been hiding behind.

[arrhenphobia]

Oh, it was difficult to move around in this heavy dress and petticoats. When she saw pudding dish being thrown at her, she quickly picked up a plate from the ground and used it as a shield (knowing that she wouldn't be able to avoid it in time). However, the impact from bowl hitting the plate was strong enough to knock Mariko down and shatter the said plate, shards cutting her hands and arms.

"Ahh!"

[ruffntumblenut]

"HA!"

Ruffnut seemed to take this as a victor, but because she was never one to leave while she was ahead, she kicked a chair at Moriko in spite.

"That'll teach you to mess with me."
