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.]

I remember.

Now even though I remember manners, I don't feel like using them half the time.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It always sounds kind of strange, when Allen does.

[Leaves the meat to cook, taking the bowl of blood and setting it beside Persona's couch.]

I was always polite before. Not always, but -- I remembered five years at a time, of that. It feels more natural to be polite. But everyone... it is strange, yeah? It's like it's dishonest, even if I don't mean to be. So. . . I keep talking like this.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

What is the blood for?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

The big ones . . . they're strange, aren't they? So much, all at once . . .

I'm not sure yet.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Not sure. . . failsafe blood?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Something like that.

Isn't Allen hungry? I can put those aside, if he's not.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

--Some is for me? You don't have to do that.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Puts the rock-plate riiight in front of him.]

You're hungry, aren't you?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .


. . . Thank you.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Goes back to cooking, taking the next two pieces off and adding them to his plate.]

I just wanted to cook it. Someone should appreciate it after.

. . . I don't know if they'll be hungry, when they get back. But there's a lot here.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[Putting food in front of Allen Walker means relinquishing rights to food OMNOMNOM]

It's still your lizard. I can pay you back later.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[It's not as if she's eating any herself.]

. . . mmm. I wouldn't want Lacerta to get in trouble, because of me. Or Pavo, either.

Allen mentioned salt, before? We've never had any of that. Or if there are seedlings you can spare, from your garden. It doesn't have to be much.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Aah - some salt then.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

That's fine.

I'll be right back . . . can you keep these cooking?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I'll come by Pavo after he's woken up. --Sure.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Bundles up the skin and scraps, and a portion of the meat, and heads in the direction of the dorms.]

Come tomorrow. We should all sleep tonight.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

... Sure.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[It's not long at all before she's back, hands washed and with water and a wet cloth to clean up the stone.]

No more changes?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

[took the steaks off when they were done, in a pile to the side]

No, no changes.

How's your arm?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Puts another two strips on.]

Ahh . . . I cleaned it off when I was getting the water—it's fine.

[. . . her eyes, too, are red again.]

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

That's good. Everyone's always a little banged up, but sometimes stuff like that can be a real pain.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Is Allen's eye okay? It's been open like that for a while, now.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Ah, yeah. Don't worry about it, I'm used to it now.
