Venus typically doesn't teleport twice in quick succession, usually because it makes her have to struggle to keep her molecules together, but the Gamemakers have seen fit to punish her for her pride by trying to hit her with lightning, and so she had no choice but to crawls back into the wormhole before she was even fully out of it. The result is that she ends up in the Catacombs (she's been jumping at random, so the only thing that sticks out to her here is just how dark it is) feeling sick and drained and shaking.

She's running low on the supplies to hand out to people, and most of her friends haven't been crossing her path. She takes a seat against a wall, listening to the sounds of the ghosts, the rattles of chains, the way the earth itself seems to exhale down here, with the sort of fearlessness that accompanies complete abandon. And she hears someone else, something that sounds more solid but could be a mutt or a Tribute or even something else.

"Hello?" She squints into the darkness, but there's hardly light at all down here. She's barely better than blind. "Who's there?"

Her voice is light and conversational, as if she were answering a doorbell and not in the midst of a death match.
