Arena 14: A Grimm Age
The morning breaks to a familiar routine for most of you. Bright and early the Tributes are roused by their escorts and stylists, escorted from their rooms and to the waiting hovercraft. The flight takes them a few hours out from the Capitol and after landing they are escorted quickly into an underground complex to be prepped. Tributes will find to their dismay that their outfits are a little less practical and a little more costume this time around, the ratio of which depends entirely on the whims of their stylist. Peacekeepers will appear almost immediately after they've finished dressing to put them in the waiting launch tubes.

They rise up from the ground and -- phew, what's that smell? The Tribute's look around them to see a full-on medieval village, constructed entirely from wood and thatch. There are empty pens that might have once held pigs and chickens attached to the houses and a well is visible down the street. What commands attention though is what's in the centre of the village square where the Tribute's are standing; a pyre built around a tall wooden stake. Those who look amongst the piles of twigs and wood will see the gleam of weapons, as well as backpacks containing survival supplies. This is your Cornucopia, Tributes.

Anyone who tries to look further afield, over the roofs of the houses, will see the main feature of this arena looming above them. The castle stands tall and forbidding, a monstrous sized building of stone with flags bearing the emblem of the Capitol flying from its parapets. From here, if they squint, they can see the drawbridge is down and the portcullis is open. For now.

A triumphant sounding of trumpets is what signals this arena's beginning and with it those Tribute's with powers may feel a sudden tingling in their bones, a rush of energy as those powers are restored to them. Any with constantly active abilities will find a light illuminates immediately over their head, signalling that something about this powered arena is going to be a little different from the last. For those who try to use their powers right off the bat... well, they'll be in for a nasty shock.
[[OOC: A mod reminder that this arena is designed to punish Tribute's for using powers. If your character will attempt to use powers at any time in week 1 of the arena it needs to be reported here to be RNG'd by the mods for chances of success or injury.
There will be a thread on Death Roll posts for subsequent weeks power usage to be reported.]]

He refuses to let it worry him in turn. Nodding a little, he holds out one of the wings, goes back to stripping the wire from the other. "Animals that aren't animals," he says, after a moment. "The rats. They're wrong. They're ill. Other creatures like... I don't know. Their minds aren't minds. And there's something in the woods, I don't recognise the shape of it." He frowns, deep and worried. "Most of it I didn't understand. And it's all wrapped up in fear and anger and determination from the others, much as you'd expect. Except for a couple. They weren't frightened at all. They'll be the dangerous ones, I think, if we can figure who they were." That was the trouble with the Touch. Like any sense, it could only pick up so much - and Alain had only been able to quest out with it for a few seconds.

His mind, instead, is on Alain's words. He does not comment on what Alain's seen, and certainly does not guess at what any of it might mean. That would be foolish, and barely occurs to him. He only takes it in, his fingers - all ten of them, looking oddly identical in these thin gloves - moving steadily over the material of Alain's 'wings'. "We'll stay away from the rats. And the rest, of course, much as we can help it. Same of the other tributes. Most of 'em may not shoot first if you don't, but those few others you felt make the caution worth it."
Does Alain need this little talk? Surely he's had at least one arena how-to in the time leading up to this one. Well. He's getting it anyway. "We'll grab a few supplies here, maybe tie them up in this sash around my waist, if we can manage the knot. A crutch for you. But let's make it quick. We need to move, spent too much time here already."
no subject
It's hard to take stock properly, when he can't walk, but only essay something between a shuffle and a hop. Using the edge of the bed for support, he manages to make his way over to a chest of drawers, wincing as he pulls it open with blistered fingers and rifles through the contents. "Where do we head?" he asks after a moment, not looking up.
And this or your next one can fade it?
