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.

"It's how things have always worked," Nepeta answers with a shrug. "And just beclaws things are fine now doesn't mean that they won't find something to make it harder fur us."

They're at sea, after all, and she's pretty certain that the ship isn't going to stop sinking. And then there's whatever might be in the water as well, and Alternian wildlife is enough to make her doubt that whatever's in the deep depths of the water mean them well in the least.

He blinks at the 'beclaws' thing. What? No. He must have misheard. Stress, you know.

"But will they make it worse if we try to help each other? I'd imagine it would be 'entertaining' for them." Oh, does that sound bitter? He's not into the idea of being entertainment.

Nepeta wouldn't have blamed him for being stressed. But no, he hasn't misheard. That really is what she'd said and it's entirely likely that there'll be more things along that vein in time. It's a habit that she's held too long to really stop, for better or worse.
