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.

Now you're just making me hungry.

[blushes, faintly]

...sorry.

Anything else?

Everyone showed up? Other then that--no. Not really. Unless what kind of car I used to drive counts.

A car is something. Not that we have cars here.

Yeah? It's an old car. 1977 Volkswagen Beetle.

[whistles]

I remember a Cadillac. Not sure what year. Is a Beetle like that?

Nah. Caddy's like a big boat. Beetle's smaller. More compact. Rounder.

[tracing the outlines in the air in front of him]

I thought it seemed big. But I was also like nine at the time.

It's a good foot plus wider then a Beetle. Especially with those seats.

What were you doing in a Caddy when you were nine, anyway?

Driving it off a cliff.

[. . .]

A cliff.

Have I ever told you how much I hate my step-dad? I really, really hate my step-dad.

Really, really hate. Right. His car?

My real dad's car. Step-dad was trying to claim it as his.

...ah.

Yeah. So I hopped in, drove it out to a quarry, and got rid of it. Got in shitloads of trouble for it.

[hmms]

It must've been an antique.

... think he said that, actually. Somewhere in all the yelling afterwards.

[nods] Well, if our memories about the dates are right...

What happened to you when the car went off the cliff?

I jumped out at the last second. Kind of dangled for a minute before pulling myself up, but I think I was okay otherwise.

...

[...oh, so that's why you do it.]

... Chaz?

I see you started the cliff thing young.

[shrugs]

I'm just naturally good at hanging off of cliffs.
