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.)

"Interpol". [This is stretching Haruhi's English pronunciation to its limits, kind of like the hell mosquitoes.] Does Bobby work just in his own country or something?

Ah, super fancy, super fancy! [ giggling ] So, how many laws have they broken already by bringing us here?

More than enough to put them in the slammer! We're going to take down every criminal behind this! ...Even though this is way outside my district... but justice has no borders!

We've got to find the borders of crime! [Haruhi what kind of metaphor is that] We somehow got in and had collars put on, so there must be a way to leave or take them off.

You're absolutely correct. That will be the subject of our investigation.

[As she talks, she approaches a tree, testing branches until she finds one she likes, then begins bending it in order to snap it off.]

We'll have to find a detonations expert to get these collars off, too.

[Because he's totally not familiar with explosives himself, nope, never handled a bomb in his life, shh.]

And where amidst this foolish lot of foolishly foolish fools are we going to find one of those?

[She takes the branch and swings it through the empty air a few times, getting a feel for how springy it is.]

Hm... it'll have to do for now.

I was gonna say we should try a plastic surgeon instead to cut up our heads until we can slip off the collars, but there don't seem to be any doctors in the ranks either.

[Haruhi takes a few steps away from the others as she evaluates the contents of the next-closest tree.]
