I Should Live in Salt for Leaving You Behind [Closed]
WHO| Venus, Alex, Tess and Joel
WHAT| Robocop hunts down a fugitive.
WHERE| Leaving the food court.
WHEN| Week 2
WARNINGS| Combat.
Venus knows she's being followed, and that's why she doesn't go straight back to Kankri with her trove of fried rice from the food court. She already doesn't stay for pleasantries - nor combat - getting in and out as swiftly as she can. It seems that most of the people in the Arena have the same idea, especially with the knowledge that there are guns out there now; no one bothers to stay long or try to collect their allies. People run to the buffets and rush back out with equal purpose.
Maybe if people were going in one by one and lollygagging, she would go on the offensive. The truth is that it's been almost two weeks and she hasn't killed anyone yet, and has found herself quietly relieved when she's seen the mannequins add up in A Touch of Class by someone else's hand. She wants to get to the end, not kill anyone, although she understands that the two often go together. She's always understood this.
Venus takes a circuitous path, through the aisles of various stores, slipping under racks and under tables, doubling back on herself to try and throw the trail. She gets rug burn on her knees, accidentally loses her sunglasses somewhere along the line and decides against going back for them. She wouldn't be short of breath if she weren't doing this already fairly seriously injured. She has the baseball bat in case she really gets put into a corner.
She doesn't realize that other human beings will be that corner until she all but runs into Joel and Tess.
"Heads up, I've got a tail on me," she says.
