District Seven’s Level

After being told she had been brought here to fight to the death for ‘glorious Panem’, given her communicator and credit card, in a daze Chibi-Usa allowed herself to be directed back to her districts floor and to her room. Once there she slept for the rest of the day willing herself not to cry through most of it.

The next morning she wakes with a start, at first thinking it had all a bad dream, rubbing at her eyes her first thought was to tell her Mama. After all she had just gotten home from staying with Usagi. As she starts to climb out of her bed she thinks maybe that dream meant Usagi needed her again?

It’s then she wakes up properly and looks around the room realising that she really had been kidnapped to another world.

What if she wasn't the only one they brought here?

“Usagi!?” she shouts as she comes running out of the room.

Training Centre

After talking to the people on her floor, Chibi-Usa comes to the training floor to look at it. She really doesn’t like what she sees, just so many weapons and people using them on each other. At least it didn’t look like they were trying to kill each other right now.

To say she was looking wide-eyed and befuddled would be an understatement, after wandering around she sits down on a bench, bringing her legs to her knees and sighing deeply.

“How am I supposed to help everyone here?” She hugs her legs tighter. “Puu, I really wish you were here right now. I even miss Usagi.”

Shopping Districts

Trying to get everything out of her mind, Chibi-Usa takes some time wandering the shopping district looking at a great many things but not actually trying to buy anything. There were so many crazy outfits, and strange things to have she was actually feeling a little overwhelmed at it all.

Where are all the normal clothes?

She soon finds herself standing in front of a window with a dress in the window that looks more like some crazy kind of mix of a pink marshmallow and a rice ball that was covered in glitter. She’s spending a lot of time wondering if it’s something to wear or some joke costume that could be edible.

She looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Well I don't really have to work at it. I just...am who I am you know? And I know that I can be a HUGE pain in the butt. You're still a bitty delicate little thing so who's gonna go out of their way to break you when I'm around?"

It seems like some real weird kind of logic to Chibi-Usa, but she just slowly nods anyway. As long as it made real sense to one of them she guessed?

Then she realised she was being rude.

"Oh." She slowly stood up. "My name is Usagi Tsukino, but you can call me Chibi-Usa." She gave a small polite smile.

"Chibi-Usa?" Ruffnut tried it out and didn't seem to have a problem with the sound.

"Alright. I'm Ruffnut. A dragon rider from Berk." She said this last part wistfully. There was a bit of longing in it as she thought back to her home and her long lost dragon.

"Ruffnut?" It was a strange name, but not the worst she could hear she thinks. And then the rest of what Ruffnut says catches up to her.

"You ride dragons?!" She is wide-eyed and surprised. Because wow that would be amazing.

She couldn't help but grin and stands a little taller.

"You bet. Everyone back home rides dragons now...well mostly everyone. My brother and I ride the two headed "Hideous Zippleback!" She declared proudly.

...and then promptly had to ignore the pang of longing and regret that neither her dragon nor her brother were around.

"Wooooow"

Chibi-Usa can't help but beam in excitement.

"That would be so amazing, I'd love to ride a dragon. What the a hideous uh, zippleback? look like?"

The admiration was enough to wash away Ruffnut's longing and she grinned that crooked grin once more.

"It's got this big body right? As thick around as two oxen." She puffed out her chest and held her arms to her side to indicate how broad before pitching forward and crawling around Chibi-Usa on her hands and knees.

"And it's got these thick legs with claws. They aren't very long so it kind of scuttles like this." She demonstrated before vanishing behind the kitchen counter. Her hand popped up to snag a pen off the counter before vanishing again.

"But the most obvious thing is it's heads."

Her hands appeared again this time with crudely drawn faces on them.

"Two slithery squirmy heads on loooong necks. One head, my head is Barf and he spits out a cloud of nasty green gas."

To play along with this idea she mimed it with her hand, amazingly enough as she wiggled the hands around an inhuman growling sound could be heard. When the head opened it's mouth it let out a roar that was extremely lifelike.

"Then my brother's head is Belch. He spits out sparks to the gas. And that makes the GAS EXPLODE!"

She sprang up so fast she knocked some food off the counter throwing her hands in the air.

"BOOM!" She declared happily.

Having never seen an oxen, Chibi-Usa can't think about how big two of them would be. But she has seen cows, and oxen are like cows, so that's still pretty big.

As Ruffnut keeps talking about the dragon, the younger girl smiles more, even laughing at the faces drawn on the viking's hands to look like her dragon. Clapping a little at the growling.

There's a little gasp as she knocks over the food, Chibi-Usa starts to head for it but sees the Avox is already on it without even thinking. She stares at them for a moment before turning back to Ruffnut.

"Wow, that's really cool. The closest I've had to a pet as cool as a dragon is Diana, Luna and Artemis."

And they're just cats... Who can talk, one of which managed to become human for a few hours too.

"What are they?" Ruffnut hazarded a guess "Sheep? There's a sheep around here somewhere...I saw it in the lobby." She moved around the breakfest bar and looked suspicious "It was all these different colors. Not natural."

Cats simply weren't a common pet on Berk. For that matter neither were dogs. Dragons made up the largest species of creature coming in enough different sizes they made up for it.

"Oh. They're just cats, not sheep. But they have little crescent moons on their foreheads." She makes a gesture on her own forehead drawing out how the crescents looked. After a pause she adds. "And... They talk." She doesn't really know if it's actually wise to say that, but at the same time, maybe they're actually here too?

Then something hits her about what Ruffnut said.

"There are sheep in the lobby?"

Okay, she didn't know this place even had a lobby, at least she didn't think about it, but really? sheep?

Ruffnut still wasn't sure what a cat was, but she knew where the pet store was down in the city so perhaps she'd go find out on her own.

"Yeah...well just the one. It smells like flowers." She pulled a face to show that clearly wasn't her preference. "There are lots of these things too." She pointed over Chibi's shoulder to what appeared to be a ball of fur casually lounging on the windowsill.

"They call em Tribbles and they just kinda...pop up all over the tower. I guess someone bought a bunch of em and they just keep breeding."

The creature made a sort of purring sound in response but didn't move.

A sheep that was multi-coloured and smelt like flowers? Now that was just crazy.

"Is it still there?"

Because lets face it, Chibi-Usa really wants to see this sheep. But turns after her question to look at the tribble. Curiosity has her going over to the windowsill, she gave a small smile as it purrs.

"Do they bite?"

"It might be...we can go look if you like."

Ruffnut had never spoken with the girl who owned the sheep, but she knew where she was likely to hang out. As for the tribble...

"I don't think they even have teeth...I'm not even sure if they have mouths. All I know is they purr, and they come in different colors.

"We wouldn't get told off for looking for it?"

She asks as she pokes the tribble out of curiosity. It chitter-purrs after being poked but really doesn't move at all, so with both her hands Chibi-Usa picks it up and looks at it better.

"It's cute."

She smiles at it.

"Nah I'm sure it'll be fine. Come on." She gestured with a hand and started for the door. Hearing Chibi's affection for the thing she smirked over her shoulder "I'm pretty sure no one owns that one if you want it. When you're in the arena the Avox take care of the animals."

Ruffnut was just disappointed to find out the tribbles had no claws or teeth or spikes.
