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.

Luckily for Gary, Bucky has no interest in wasting the time it will take to kill the offender. He needs to get out of here and into the base and so releases the arm of the attacker as soon as he registers the break (apparent by the angle), before Gary's kick can connect.

The Soldier braces his feet against the ground and pushes himself towards the nearest door instead. The other will be lucky enough to see another day, though unlucky to be facing it with heavy injury.

Gary's learned his lesson this time. As soon as he's able to squirm around and find purchase on the ground, he's kicking off and loping to another door. Preferably one as far away from that scary guy who just beat the shit out of him as possible. Plans for how to actually deal with the splitting pain in his chest and arm will have to come later.
