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.))

He gestures at the Main Street. "Where you headin'?"

"I was looking for a place to hide," she said softly. "This street reminds me of my home."

"Your home's a pretty sweet crib, then, if it's set up like this street." Then he frowns, looking at the rubble and damage. "Unless it's all janky like this place is now. Wonder what happened here."

"Do you think there's anyone home?" She asked, gingerly poking her nose into the aftermath of Punchy's kick in an effort to investigate.

She wandered over to a large pot-bellied stove, poking at it curiously.
"This is could be useful, couldn't it?" She turned back to Punchy, wide-eyed. She had no idea how to use a stove, but she'd seen Jim Dear and Darling use one in the past. She associated it with heat, and heat seemed like a valuable commodity in this strange new place.

"Good thinking, shawty. It'll be getting chilly up in this bizzle soon, probs." Too bad he doesn't know how to start a fire. "You brought any matches or just yo' fine booty?"

He slips the puppet onto his hand. It does make him feel more secure, in a way. "So what's your name?"
