LOUNGE AROUND

[gamemakers]

WHO| Anyone not in the Arena
WHAT| Chillaxing in the common area.
WHEN| Anytime.
WHERE| The common area.
WARNING/NOTES| This is an ongoing post, it will be up and open the whole game round for your characters to wander in and out of, so please note if it is important when your character is there.

Also, please make sure to check if there is already an open thread you can tag into before starting a new one. Remembering, tagging new people gets you more credits.



With so much death, so quickly, the common area was always a buzz. Tributes, mentors, stylist and escorts, not to mention a small army of Avox to keep everything running smoothly. Some people were in a rushed hurry, stressed, or taking a break from the many stresses around them. Others were lounging, clearly not to worried about what was going on in the arena.

Drinks were close at hands, as well as any assortment of food. And if the selection didn't meet anyone's satisfaction, an Avox was always on hand to bring something new.

Somehow, Wyatt found himself in the lounge. His first impulse was to keep right on and pass the bustle by, but then he thought better of it.

Some noise, some company, might be just the thing he needed to finally chase the whispering echo of waves, of the girl's voice, out of his ears.

Spotting Elias, he ambled over took and rested his hands on the chair across from the man.

"Should I apologize for dyin'?" he asked by way of greeting.

Elias looked up, and a grin spread over his face.

"I think dying is a bit hard to avoid."

Not that his goal wasn't to get Wyatt out of there for good. He just couldn't fault the man for not winning.

"Have a seat. How are you?"

[the_marshal]

Wyatt gave him an obliged nod and pulled out the chair, dropping into the seat with a tired sigh.

"I've got sand in places I didn't know I had," he said dryly, shifting uncomfortably. "You'da thunk those fancy docs and all their magic do-dads woulda found a way to take care of that."

[nofunandgames]

Elias grin didn't budge. Of his tributes, all of them, Wyatt was by far the one Elias enjoyed being around the most. There was a certain kinship. Perhaps because he knew he wouldn't die. That made it easier to relax into things.

"Well, we do have some impressive showers around here."

[the_marshal]

Wyatt muttered something under his breath that sounded remarkably like "damn bubbles," and there may have been a sudden whiff of something far to sweet and flowery for a man such as Wyatt... but before eith of them could be addressed, he was changing the subject and nodding down at the papers on the tabletop.

"So, who's left then?" he asked, taking a stab in the dark that's what the mess was about. "Anyone to make us proud?"

[nofunandgames]

"Sasuke Uchiha is still in, and he seems to have potential."

He shrugged. He hadn't gotten a good grasp on the kid yet. So he was holding reservations on judgement.

[the_marshal]

Wyatt waited a beat to see if Elias would offer anything else, then broke down and asked himself.

"And the girl? ...How'd she do after I turned my boots up?"

[nofunandgames]

((OOC I am terrible. Which girl specifically?))

[the_marshal]

((OOC: Lol, your fine! He's just asking about Momoko. She died shortly after he did.))

[nofunandgames]

He shrugged, no noncommittally.

"Well...she didn't win."

Which around here wasn't really as bad news as it use to be, but he knew it wasn't what Wyatt wanted to hear, either.
