blood match day one

game start

28 players remaining

The morning the game starts, all pairs will be escorted from their rooms by friendly robot buddies into their own underwater shuttle waiting to take them to the arena. Should anyone try to resist, the collar around their neck will start beeping ominously and their friendly robot escort will become a lot less friendly and a lot more forceful. While in the shuttle, each player will be stripped of whatever clothing or items they have on them. The robot buddies will give each player the following:
- a uniform consisting of a light water-resistant jacket, a t-shirt with the words BLOOD MATCH '15 emblazoned on it, track pants, and standard-issue undergarments. All clothing has been tailored to the player's size perfectly and comes in a classy shade of steel grey.
- a small backpack which holds: three matches, a small canteen with a day's worth of water, and a day's worth of packaged rations
- a digital watch
- a booklet with all the character information cards in it
- a randomly assigned tool

The shuttle ride lasts for around half an hour, docking in a large garage. A friendly robot buddy will then guide each pair into their own elevator and a countdown will begin from 10. Once the countdown hits zero, the elevators will rise and the players will emerge in a shallow bay of what appears to be a volcanic island.

(OOC: Please update your character's info card with the ranking they would have likely received based on observation of their stay at the training facility. Rankings should be between 1-10.

Also, when starting a thread, please put in your header the following: ZONE # - TIME - AREA. This will hopefully make it easier for everyone to keep track of which character is where.)

[Iceland knows he has to stay close to Norway, so that's exactly what he's doing--though he's not as fast as Norway. He's keeping as close eye out for anyone who looks to be approaching them as he can; if they can just get in and out in the confusion of the beginning, that would be best. He trusts Norway, so he doesn't have to focus on the supplies at all and can instead devote all of his attention to watching their backs.

Eventually, though, he can't resist entirely: once Norway has something, Iceland will chance forward to grab the backpack closest to him, as long as it's not too far from Norway and the way back.]

[In Norway's backpack are three flash-bang grenades (light only, no concussive force). In Iceland's backpack is a pair of daggers. Both packs also have about a day's worth of rations.]
