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.

There was a moment of silence as Rosalind was rendered speechless by just how little Ruffnut had comprehended her sarcasm...and then she shook herself, tilting her head a little to one side.
"Is that so? Well, then, good on you for erring on the side of caution."
This was less sarcastically spoken. Being sarcastic almost felt like picking on this girl for being simple, and Rosalind wasn't really interested in doing that.
no subject
"Caution isn't that much fun though." she added "I mean, it's not gonna help anyone win these games right? Being careful? You gotta take risks!"
no subject
There wasn't going to be any talking to this one, was there?
"Not being quite careful enough can also get you murdered."
no subject
"From the looks of things around here anything can get you murdered. So you might as well have fun till it happens."
This is the sort of logic that she runs her life on.
no subject
She was not even going to try to argue. She could see it wasn't going to go anywhere. This girl appeared to be more than a bit simpleminded.
"What is your name?"
no subject
Simpleminded was being generous in this case.
"Ruffnut." She answered plainly, clearly glad to have a question she could answer. "What about you?"
no subject
"My name is Rosalind."
no subject
"Cool name." she added though it sounded strange to her. "Probably won't scare off any trolls, but you're an adult so maybe they don't want to eat you anymore."
no subject
A blink.
"...Trolls?"
no subject
"Except the trolls around here. They don't seem to care."
