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.)

We can count on them, but we can't get comfortable. So long as you keep that in mind...

Well, you don't have to worry about that. "Comfortable" is the last thing I'm going to become out here.

[Well, that's a given. Though he's almost feeling more out of his depth.

Oh well. Opening his canteen to have a small drink.]

Let's discuss strategy. Jack and Mayu should be capable of tracking us down. We'll want to go north west, I think. We don't have any weapons, but they may have gotten one. That's something we'll want for defense. We'll have to find a way to make one.

[That's not really likely but maybe if they make a show of it they'll be given one.]

Let's see... there's trees all around us, so how about spears? We'll be just like primitive man!

[Glancing around less for weapon-making materials and more to try to see if he can spot hidden cameras. It's hard to play to an audience when you don't even know if they have your good side.]

Hm... [Not romantic enough. Also probably not useful.] It'll do for now. Even if it doesn't work, it just has to look like it does.
