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.)

Nore. [Using his whining voice. Wait, he was already doing that.]

Have ya ever used one? To hurt someone?

Yes! [Iceland stabbed someone in the ankle once when Norway took him on a raid.

He was very small.

He isn't actually sure how well-aimed that was; he might have just nicked them.]

[ Sighing! Norway is luckily in a good mood because of hiking. ] If it comes to that. [ What does that mean?? ]

What's that mean?

If you need to.

I wouldn't have time to get you if I needed to. [Therefore he needs something he can defend himself with.]

I'll be right here next to you.

What if you're busy? [Killing someone. Iceland doesn't like the idea of that happening so casually, but what else can he do here?]

I won't be wearing the backpack, then.

You're not leaving them in there, are you? [Unless Norway means he expects Iceland to hit someone with the backpack.]

I guess I could carry two... [ You are making this harder for yourself, Ice. ]

Just let me carry one! [Come on, Norway!]

No. [ Firm tone! ]

Nore! [Huff!]

You're in charge of the flashlight.

Do you want me to hit someone on the head with it if they jump out behind me? [An even more indignant huff!]

Sure. [ That sounds perfect actually. ]

If they had a weapon I'd get stabbed before I could knock someone out with a flashlight. [He isn't sure if he means that to act as a guilt trip, but it ends up just making him look nervously behind him.]

[ Norway glances behind himself to glare at Iceland, but he says nothing and walks a little faster. ]

[Iceland can do sullen silence. Picking up the pace is a bit more difficult on him, but he can do that, too!]

[ Norway is excellent at not saying anything. Expect a very long silence!! ]

[Iceland can be even better at not saying anything than Norway if he wants to! And he wants to now!! So he's going to win!!!]
