Round 1 - Preparation Stage

Introduction
There was a drum roll and as you entered into this world. You are surrounded by cheering crowds, bright lights and cameras. You have just been announced as a tribute for a specific district and this begins your adventure into the Games Arena.

There is a lot to do before the Arena opens. The audience must be informed of all your vital stats so they can place their bets. Are you going to win because you're the strongest? Are you going to win because you're sneaky and smart? You won't see any of that however. The next few weeks are going to be filled with the following:

[Please thread below in any or all of the locations. It would help if the subject of the top level comment could list where the tribute is just so it makes it easier for other characters to tag in.]

Training Arena
There is everything that you could ever need in the training area. There are teachers around 24/7 who will be more than happy to teach you the skills needed in the Arena.

Such as: hunting, wilderness survival, tying knots, camouflage, botany, weapons use, general fitness experts and anything else you believe may be required.

It might save your life to go to at least one of these tutorials. There are also gyms and equipment which will help you focus on specific skills such as climbing, swimming and anything you may think of. 

In this Training Arena, you will have access to any weapons your character may have back home in canon. They will only be available in the training arena so you must leave them behind when you leave here and when you make your way to the arena. 

There are also public and private training facilities so you can choose whether you want to show everyone your skills or hide everything until the arena stage.

Rule: Any tributes that physically attack each other before entering the arena will be punished upon the games beginning. This is announced to the tributes as they are released to their own devices.

Publicity Shoots
It is up to your prep team to make sure the public love you. That's what they get paid for. As Battle Royale is school themed, you will be taking lots of school based photo shoots in the following uniform:


Look familiar? Well, in this game it doesn't matter whether you're in the white or black uniform so take your pick at whatever you think will look nicer. These will be the uniforms that you enter the arena in. This may be your last chance to look pretty and your last chance to be remembered.

Private Dorms
At the end of each day, you have your own room to retire back to. Each district has an entire floor to themselves and each floor has two giant dorm rooms.

There is room service for each dorm room and you can order whatever you want. Really, anything. You're about to go to your death so you might as well enjoy the remainder of your life. You are free to go to each other's rooms if you want to visit. Make friends, make enemies, or scout out your competition.

These rooms are state of the art. You have a large shower where it feels like the water is coming from multiple directions and a range of fancy soaps, shampoos etc. You can even choose to have a bubble bath if you want.  The bed is large and covered with the blankets and sheets your character most adores. There is also a giant wardrobe with any outfit you would like to wear available at a touch of a button.

Each tribute will also have 2 avoxes following them around when they are in the private dorm area to get them whatever they need and clean up after them.

Private Social Area
There is a living space with games, other hobbies and an eatery for people who don't want to eat in the solitude of their dorms. But why aren't you in the training hall trying to make sure you stay alive in the arena? This is where you'll find out the gossip of where you are, what's going on. You can speak to your prep team to learn about why you're here, what your role is and the fact that you're probably going to be dead in a month. And probably at the hands of the person eating at the next table and smiling innocently at you.

Other
You are welcome to create anywhere else you want to be. Want to watch a movie? Go ahead. Want to visit a library? Yeah sure. The Game Creation team have designed a little city for you to play in before you enter the Arena so if you are certain that an extra day in the training facility won't make you live much longer anyway? Might as well go out and enjoy yourself. It's on me.

Note: Wherever you are or whatever you're doing, there is a chance that your actions will probably get broadcasted to the public on TV.

Are there more mainlands? [ He just keeps confusing her. ]

Ah, then you are another of those from the far future?
grapeeater: (Default)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe in other worlds...

[Uh.]

That... depends. When are you from?
100arts: ([ 9 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-10 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, that would be interesting to know of, if that is the case.

[ Oh! ]

I am from the Sengoku period.
grapeeater: (the justice.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-10 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[His fingers twitch slightly as she says 'Sengoku', but there's no other real reaction.]

I see. ... Depending on when in it you come from, I'm anywhere between about four hundred to five hundred forty years after that.

[ She does notice that, but she doesn't comment on it. It would be better if she pretended not to be as observant as she is. ]

Lord Nobunaga is currently the most eligible bachelor in the rankings due to his holdings.

[ That does not tell him much, most likely. But since there is no actual year specified it's hard to be specific. ]
grapeeater: (the temperance.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-11 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. That point in time. Yes, I'm from... a while after that. That's kind of strange... but I guess it's strange for you to hear that I'm from the future.
100arts: ([ 15 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-11 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I have understood there are several people that are from the future. It was a surprise but the sengoku era is filled of many peculiarities and adapting is not impossible.

grapeeater: (the magician.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-11 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's good. I think we're going to have to adapt pretty quickly in the arena.
100arts: ([ 15 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-12 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Most likely it will be so. Will you manage, onii-san?
grapeeater: (the justice.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-12 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks in surprise. He's only seventeen... he's not sure how old she is.]

I should be all right. I've fought before.
100arts: ([ 2 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-19 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ She is many times older than him actually, but she doesn't know his name. ]

Then this oldfashioned woman does not need to worry about you, I hope.
grapeeater: (the chariot.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-19 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you don't. I wish we didn't have to fight, but since we do... I'll do what I can to get the outcome I want. I trust that you'll do the same.
100arts: ([ 15 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-24 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I will do what I am able to do, at least. [ Which is much more then she will let on. ]
grapeeater: (the hanged man.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-25 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully everyone will. It... seems wrong to kill someone who's not fighting back...
100arts: ([ 10 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-25 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
It does, yes. [ Technically she has no problem doing so ... actually, catching people off guard and killing them before they have the chance to fight back is very normal for shinobi. ]
grapeeater: (the fortune.)

[personal profile] grapeeater 2016-06-25 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Then again, I guess... nothing about this place is 'right' at all...
100arts: ([ 15 ])

[personal profile] 100arts 2016-06-30 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Some might debate what it exactly mean for something to be "right" however.
