ARENA 09 - THE MUSEUM

The Tributes are woken up early for this Arena, and switched from whatever sleeping attire they're currently in to a set of pajamas, each designed for the individual in questions. Women wear onesies, and most of the men wear two-pieces, but other than that any similarities are at random - the outfits are in all sorts of colors and patterns.

The floor of the helicopter taking them to their Arena location, and of the underground entrance to the tubes that hoist them to the surface, will feel cold under their bare feet.

Rather than bringing them to sunlight, like the tubes have in the past, instead the Tributes are presented to a dark concrete ceiling in a badly-lit parking lot. Fluorescent lights do little to illuminate the cavernous space.

The countdown begins, announced as if from far away.

The Cornucopia, a ghastly thing carved from stone and concrete, sits at the center of a pattern of white and yellow lines reminiscent of spots for parked cars. The painted lines create a sort of spoked wheel, providing lanes for the Tributes leading to the prizes at the center. Some of the more unfortunate Tributes will find the concrete architecture has placed pillars in their lanes.

Six parked cars lie around the outskirts of the huge lot, barely visible in the dim lighting. Glowing exit signs on two opposite sides of the chamber announce where Tributes should go to escape the bloodbath. Elevator doors are perched beneath them.

The gong rings out, and the countdown's voice announces "the Arena is now open". The Games have begun.

She didn't need to worry. Ruby was strictly a self-defense killer. One swing of that first aid kit, though, and all bets were off.

The werewolf didn't realize she had company, coming off the room. She looked around, crouching.

Get away. Avoid conflict for the moment.

Homura was trying to do just that, and so she did what she felt was best. Taking up a small, marble-sized bouncy ball from a nearby shelf, she thew if over the aisles, hoping it would have the intended effect.

It definitely drew Ruby's attention. But she wasn't really feeling the need to rush toward the sound. She crouched, moving cautiously, looking around. She seemed intent on blending into the background.

It was enough, for Homura. Quickly, a shadow of a girl suddenly appeared, heading towards the exit. She was dressed, she was equipped, and she didn't see a need to continue staying in this place, for now.

Ruby's head whipped around, but she made no move to follow. It could be a trap, or it could just be the girl was scared. Either way, Ruby couldn't see anything good that might come from following.

She watched a moment, before moving toward the false-noise. Just in case.
