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.

5 - 4

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

"What?" Eponine just stares back in complete disbelief at Dennet, hugging his coat to her.

"You jest me, Sir. You jest -" She screams as the water creeps higher. Eponine is genuinely scared of the water - it brings back too many unhappy memories for her. And now this man is protesting her accusations and fussing about soft furnishings. She looks at him in utter disgust.

"Oh, go away, Sir. You are of no help in the slightest."

"I'm not--" What did he do wrong now? He was trying to be a gentleman, trying to help other people stay alive here. Why did everything go so horribly wrong?

"I mean flotation! The pillow, it might float. If you can't swim." Or, maybe you could shove it in the mouth of a shark or something? He's still new to this whole 'improvising' thing.

Still, even he has realized when he's irrevocably messed something up. "Please, Miss. I'm...sorry. I'll. I'll let you go." There's some vague black curiosity if he could actually make this worse, but he's got a feeling he doesn't want to know. And besides, he's got a blood-dripping wound to tend to.

"I'm - I'm sorry." Eponine calls after him. She'll apologise properly once she leaves the arena. But for now, she splashes her own way, trying to find a pillow and escape the rising water.
