Who: YOU (=
Where: Arena
When: Day 79, Morning
What: GAME

[You find the arena littered with butterflies, per usual, and while there is no seating provided, there floor is carpeted with cool, springy grass. There are also twelve blackboards placed against a long, white wall.]

Good morning, everyone. Please wait while everyone gathers. I understand that lately many of the games have caused great stress, while this is, perhaps, to be expected, I think it is fair to allow for breaks as well. Today's game will be simple, if challenging, and there will be no cause for harm, nor any punishments.

Make yourselves comfortable, we will begin shortly.

Did you have any older ones?

Re: [Winners]

A brother. Think his name was Sam. You remember your sister's name?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

...Aya. Her name's Aya.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Pretty name. Any clue about your parents'?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[Thinks about this for a minute, then shakes his head.]

We just called them mom and dad.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Or- I did. For Aya, it was mommy and daddy.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

But you're old enough to know better. Gotcha.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

...actually, I was a lot younger, I think. My feet didn't touch the floor.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

... that far back?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

I don't know how long ago, exactly. But I was definitely smaller.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

And you're small now, so. A while ago.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

I'm not that small.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Smaller than us. ... which admittedly includes me and Chaz.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Exactly.

Almost everyone is smaller than you and Chaz.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, but Carly...

[pause]

Actually, I dunno who's taller there.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

Between who?

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

You and her.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[Thaaat would be her. By probably a good five inches.]

I can't say I've wasted time checking.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Is it a waste of time if it takes five seconds?

Anyway. I'm glad you've got a family like that.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

...mm. I am, too.

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

I was starting to think-

[Pauses. Thinks about that. Decides not to finish the sentence, after all.]

-well. It's not important. I am too, though.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

... what's not important?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[Gives his head a shake.]

It doesn't matter. I was wrong, anyway.

Re: [Winners]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[not entirely satisfied with that, but... he shrugs.]

Missing family members isn't uncommon here. Wolf doesn't have any, and all I really remember is a stepfather.

... but better to remember a happy one, yeah?

Re: [Winners]

[byallmeans.insanejournal.com]

[...caught the implication of that. :|]

What about your brother?
