Arena 06 - Happy
The last few hours before the Arena have a strangely stifled quality, as if half the people they interact with are trying very hard not to laugh. Maybe it's the costumes, the fancy gowns and velvet tunics, the short capes. Or maybe it's their destination.
The round courtyard to which the tubes bring them could not be more different from the last arena. Though outside the circle of pedestals, disrepair and neglect has taken over the roads and buildings, the garden inside the circle could not be more perfectly sculpted. Every hedge is a smooth, rounded shape. Flowers bloom brightly in concentric circles of insane color. The Cornucopia sits gleaming and golden, and just in front of its mouth, a bronze statue of a man and a mouse stands amid the heap of supplies.
Aside from it, there is a hush. No flies in the flowers, no wind in the trees. It is a cool day, with the comfortable chill of early spring and noon's short shadows.
Outside the circle, behind the tributes on the northern side, a castle looms. Through its wide gate, devastation everywhere, but it, itself, is shining clean, glowing pink and blue. Opaque windows look down from the heights of it, as uncaring as every hidden camera the veterans know is there.
Music starts as the countdown nears the bottom, a whimsical, dramatic tune.
And with the final note, the gong rang out, and a firework shot into the sky from the castle's peak, bright enough to burst redly across the sky above them all. Let the Games begin.
((OOC NOTES: IF YOUR CHARACTER HAS POWERS THE CAPITOL HAS NERFED, make sure you are on this list.
And everyone really should review the arena post. Because there's a little more to play with than you might think.
And please remember to add your character's tag to each post they're in.))

Draco | OTA
It was certainly different, the whole Arena. Bloody disconcerting, if Draco had any say in the matter. But he'd get used to it. He didn't have much of a choice.
And then the gong rang out, and he hit the ground running, off like a shot towards the Cornucopia and the few scattered objects that lay there.

As the countdown ended, it took him just a fraction of a second and then he was moving, running as fast as he could towards the nearest bag. Whatever was in there, he needed it. Food, he could figure out, but he'd nearly frozen to death in that other place, so who knew what they would throw at him this time? He was hoping for some kind of tool or weapon, but anything they thought was useful enough to make them fight over it would probably be worth it.
He didn't even notice Draco at first as his vision focused in on that one bag.

He caught a glimpse of Gabriel going for the same bag quickly enough, and immediately dodged sideways - towards the other man - with hopes of running into him and sending him off-balance.
no subject
He grabbed at Draco as he tipped over, trying to pull him down, too. If he was going down, he was taking the asshole with him.

He yanked at his own cape, trying to roll away to the side.

And that was when he saw legs dashing by his head and he watched as someone else snatched the bag they'd both been going for. With an angry growl, he swung his fist at the side of Draco's head. If there was no bag, he needed to just get away.

"Can you fight less like a girl? Kay, thanks."
Speaking of how awesome Gabriel was, he slipped his knee between them for leverage and shoved hard at Draco. This was it. He just wanted to get away and get his hands on something useful for maiming and killing.

Oh, boy, was he going to remember that little shit's face.
