Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

[The door opens to a tunnel, mercifully dry. It is lit by the torches common to Sabra, and only a little ways in, you can see where they branch off in two directions and, just a few feet in, dip back down into shallow pools of water.

To the left, in the reflection of the water, you can make out the distinctive curve of Hydra's dorms, in the right, you can see the entrance to the Arena. The water seems still and clear.]

[relaxes a little with the more familiar scenery. Peers down both passageways before turning back towards the group]

We're going left.

[Another long look, and then starts towards the right.]

I'm looking on this side.

Mess anything up, I will find you fuckers.

Re: First Fork

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

You can't go that way! There's no way anything over there is gonna be good!

Re: First Fork

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

You know something about this too?

Re: First Fork

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[looks thoughtful]

It's the Arena. Do you think Akito's that way?

Re: First Fork

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

If I was that sure I'd already be gone. Anyway, if it's not good, it's all the more reason for me to check. So it's either split up or take the time to double back.

[looks at Scowl]

I can check the dorm.

Re: First Fork

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Yeah. You take the others and Ikki that way. I'll go with him.

Re: First Fork

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

. . . I'd rather go with Agito.

Re: First Fork

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

No. I need you with my team in case they run into something only you'd know about.

Re: First Fork

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

It's your dorms that way.

Re: First Fork

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

There could be something past them.

Re: First Fork

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

And? Maybe you should go that way, then.

Re: First Fork

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I'm not leaving you without one of us to watch you.

I don't need a babysitter, but whatever. Fine.

[In the water, for anyone NOT watching the testosterone showdown, they might catch, reflected, a giant three legged crow get pinned under a flaming cheetah's paw.

... And Agito continuing on past them to the right.]

[just manages to catch that—. . . that significance of it is somewhat lost on him, but.

[Grab ze shark's collar, but talking to Scowl still]

Going to the arena with only two people is stupid.
