So, she had died. And it was all pretty anti-climactic too. Just Whack! Snap. Slump.

And so Harley had gotten to see that very image once she was oriented with her new home.

Perched on the sofa in panties and a long T-shirt the shameless formerly dead girl had gotten stacks of sweets and cakes set up on the table in front of her, and was mesmerized by the scenes of carnage and drama playing out on the screen in front of her.

First she had watched her own story. From arrival to end. The short bittersweet...tragically unfunny end.

...well kicking Wesker in the junk had been pretty funny.

But now she was watching the most recent event where beautiful colorful fireworks were raining hell down upon the poor remaining suckers. She let out a cheer as a little girl dove into a trash can and the explosion sent both girl and can flying down the road a little further. The girl stumbled out and kept running.

"I wonder if I should be cheering for the other guys or just people on my team..." She mused out loud.

"...It depends." Don brought his hand to his chin with a sigh. "If you die in the Arena, you generally do. But outside of it? No. If the Capitol kills you out here, you're gone for good."

No sign of Lottie. Good.

"They would have shown it if she died, yeah."

"They only kill you if they feel you're out of line out here." Don bit his lip. "And that's if they're feeling particularly merciful. Death isn't the only terrible fate that the Capitol can dream up for you, after all. You could be made into an Avox."

"A citizen, reprogrammed to be a slave." Speaking of, there was one walking by. "They have their tongues cut out and they must obey the Capitol, no matter what."

"You don't."

Simple as that, Harley.

"I don't think that will work too well." Don looked over at Harley worriedly. "They, uh, don't exactly take defiance well here."

"Then the only way to stop playing is to win." Way to be helpful, Don. "Otherwise, yeah. They keep having you play the Arenas. This was my fifth, and there are some people who've been through all six Arenas so far."

"...Pretty sure both do exist." Don shrugged. "I know there are toy stores at the very least."
