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.

There's a flinch in Terezi's movements when he answers back with that degree of emotional outburst. She hadn't meant to make him angry. It honestly hadn't occurred to her that others might have mentioned it already--though Signless should have been the obvious realization there. He knew both of them and cared about both of them.

"Fine, fine. Sorry." She holds her hands up, trying to play it off like she hadn't been on edge a moment ago. For all her bravado, adult trolls are still a little scary when they get riled up--especially psychic ones.

"Things aren't as cut and dry as they were on Alternia. That's all I'm trying to say. There's a lot more to him than just being a clown. ...There's a lot more to a lot of us, I guess."

Psii still looked like he wanted to blast her and the surrounding walls, but thankfully he wasn't tempted to. Terezi hadn't done him any wrong.

"Thure thome clownth might be leth murderouth than otherth, but they thtill belong to a cult that thayth trollth like me detherve all the punishment they dish out. Fuck that. I don't want anything to do with him and hith fathepaint. He'd better thtay out of thpitting dithtanthe."

As the thought occurred to him, he turned his head and spat to the side. He was a classy troll.

"You done? becauthe I don't want to thtand around lithtening to you defend him when we're thuppothed to be avoiding getting killed."
