The Finale

Who| Anyone still left alive at the last day of the arena
What| The finale
Where| The whole arena
When| The last day of the arena
Warnings/Notes| I'm so sorry this is late. If this doesn't work into your threads, just handwave you died before this event.

When the weapons had been left at the cornucopia, before anyone had time to circle back, the ice has crept over them, sealing them beneath the ice, deep enough that their presence wasn't even detectable from the surface. At dawn that day, the ice had melted away, leaving only the weapons bases still stuck into the ice, the blades and staffs protruding from the icy lake surrounding them into the bright sunlight.

In addition to the scattered weapons that had remained at the cornucopia, there was an arsenal of new weapons, swords, blades, spears...more than enough to go around.

But the invitation to this feast wasn't a passive one. As the sun rose, the groaning and creaking of the iceberg gave way to action, putting the earlier collapse to shame. Huge chunks began to break apart, some sliding into the sea, some opening up gaping crevasses that went much farther than the ones woven through the arena, ones that went straight down to hard rock underneath.

The sea rushed into these to meet the land in unpredictable surges, as the chunks of ice slipping into the sea create a series of small tidal waves.

But this collapse isn't random, not at all. It's pushing all the remaining tributes together, right into the middle.

Right to the weapons.

Happy Hunger Games.

The kick caught him in the thigh and Lindsey stumbled back, much to his annoyance. It lost him his advantage though and gave his opponent enough time to get back on his feet.

"Lucky shot, but I guess we all have our moments." He began circling the man again.

"Sure, you just believe what you want to believe." Danny pulled the same thing as before, only this time, trying a more, uppercut like motion. Or was that a golf motion? Whatever it was, it was coming from below and going high this time.

All he needed to do was catch him, just a bit. Then he could search the place for some food and go hide somewhere.

It wasn't really all that effective, swinging a sword like a golf club. All it really did was keep Lindsey out of swinging distance because a crazy man swinging a broadsword blindly wasn't something even a skilled swordsman can walk in on. Too hard to predict.

"You want to tell me that you're using that with any sort of skill?" He reached the tip of his sword out and tried to draw Danny into some parries, or at least moves that when performed by a novice, would create openings for Lindsey to exploit.
