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.))

"Hey, you okay?"

But he seemed...hopefully, just as friendly. She slowed, however, still a little hand shy after Alpha.
"As ok as I'm gonna be in here. You?"

She wanted, desperately, to go to the castle.
Which probably meant it was a terrible, terrible idea to go to the castle.
"Do you?"

"Well, let's get moving sweet heart."
She hiked up her skirts. The costume...well, it was certainly beautiful. But also not the easiest to move in.
no subject
"You gonna be okay moving in that?" he asked, jogging toward the castle.

Especially the last.

Apparently she was just fond of anyone with that face.
"What's you're name anyway, doll?"

The crunch of the cornucopia was behind them, but she was still on edge. Still, that Castle...
"This Arena is far too charming."

"Well...it used to be charming."

She looked over at him, curious.
"You sound like you've been here before."
