Arena 12 - The Spaceport
As usual the Tributes are woken up early for the start of the arena, leaving the Tribute Centre before dawn. A few hours ride in a hovercraft delivers them to their destination where their excited prep teams will outfit them in skintight suits that are colour coordinated by District (D1 is White, D2 is Red, D3 is Orange, D4 is Aqua, D5 is Purple, D6 is Pink, D7 is Light Green, D8 is Blue, D9 is Yellow, D10 is Dark Green, D11 is Lavender, and D12 is Black) over which they will be put into what is instantly identifiable as a spacesuit, complete with oxygen tank and helmet before being loaded into the tubes.
They rise up into what appears to be outer space and immediately upon emerging from the tubes Tributes will find themselves floating upwards with a length of rope the only thing holding them to their podiums. The countdown crackles out from speakers built into each Tributes helmet.

The Cornucopia sits in the middle of a dusty crater with buildings surrounding it, made up of a number of chained down cases and cubes in limited numbers. Cubes which sharp-eyed Tributes will note look like they fit into the slots beside the doors that lead into the spaceport.

The mirrored visors of the uniformly white spacesuits make it impossible to tell friend from foe. Tributes fighting for goods will have to risk harming their friends but the alternative, floating off into space or suffocating when their oxygen runs out, leaves them little choice.

The gong rings out and the countdown’s voice announces, “the Arena is now open” before the line goes dead. The Games have begun.

"But for us mere mortals, it's impossible. Still, people want to believe in that impossibility. That's why they want to believe in our 'magic'. It's like enjoying a sweet dream."
"But I think I've forgotten to introduce myself! I'm Kuroba Kaito. Nice to meet you, Mr. Wizard."

Unless someone liked the taste of teenager or something, who knew. "Anyway, you're a real wizard, you said...? How's that going for you?"
no subject
"Oh, it's going great when I'm at home! Lots of adventure! Now? It's a work in progress." Nitou shrugged. "But hey, if an actual fight breaks out here, I'm all set!" He frowned. "You got any fighting tricks with that stage magic stuff of yours? They're gonna try to kill people here, y'know."
no subject
"Er... well, generally speaking, if a fight breaks out at your magic show, something's gone terribly wrong," said Kaito. Goodness, fighting. He really preferred not to engage in that sort of thing; it wasn't gentlemanly at all.
"I was planning on running for it if that happened."

Well, it was. What you'd expect from a high schooler with no martial arts training? At least he didn't flinch while he was doing it, but even Kaito seemed to recognize that it was kind of lame, because he dropped his arm quickly to his side.
"Personally, I think they picked the wrong contestant for a space deathmatch..."
no subject
"Look, look, real quick, you do it like this." And Nitou shows him a much better sort of punch, the kind used by a guy who does a lot of brawling. "Wrong contestant or not, you gotta at least try not to die right away if you get cornered!"
no subject
Kaito imitated Nitou, but clearly a career as a kung fu wizard was just not in the cards here. Maybe once he got back to the Training Center, he'd shape up? He sighed. "What's a wizard need to throw a punch for, anyway? Can't you just... make your enemies disappear?"

no subject
"If I could do real magic, I think I'd just do basically the same thing I do now."
no subject
And there's a bit of surprise on Nitou's part. "What, you wouldn't want to do anything exciting?" Adventure. It's important.
no subject
He decided to roll with the question, though, and held out his palms. "You don't think bringing smiles to people's faces is exciting? That's what magic is about for me!"
