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.)

[ tapping her cheek while she thinks ]

If the bottle gets broken, we could always use a shard of it. But as it stands, I don't want to waste the alcohol. You can use it to dull pain, I think.

[Mayu nods.]

There's the likelihood of being cut, too. [Of course, they could always go bludgeon poor critters with the bat, but even Mayu isn't that heartless.]

Or to help start a fire. Should we just forage some fruits, then?

[ Yeah, eugh, way too gruesome. Let's be as humane as possible with our hunting, ladies. ]

That would be for the best. Do you remember anything from those survival books?

I'd recognize some edible plants.

[And anything she doesn't recognize, she's smart enough not to eat. Hungry or not.]

What about you?

I'd been looking at poisonous plants and first aid. That would balance us out.

Fair enough.

[Seems like it does balance them out nicely.]

Do you want to split up and meet back up here, or stick together?

Stick together. [ Answering almost immediately. She does noooooot want to be alone in this place, even for a little while. ]

Understood.

[No complaints here. Splitting up would be more efficient, but then again, if people were out to kill them, it'd be harder to take them both down at once.]
