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.]

Ocean - Heart

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[With no preamble, or nice safe, neutral room, the moment the group steps through Persona's door, they find themselves standing ankle deep in water. Stretch out for as far as the eye can see is deep, violent ocean waters, lifting and crashing over itself in large waves. There's no sight of land anywhere, the horizon simply meets a sky full of blackened stormclouds. Wind lashes at you from every direction, and your ankles begin to feel the tugging of an undertow. Every now and then, lightning lances down in the distance, causing an electrical lightshow over the surface of the ocean.

There doesn't seem to be any way back, but every now and then, between waves; however, you catch the sight of a stone structure battered by the storm.]

War Dance

[The room that you have entered seems an odd marriage of games. In the center of the room is a familiar panel and a BRIGHT SHINY RED BUTTON. Instead of teams on it, there are only two choices: "Kill them all." "Save them all."

The rest of the room looks like a battered woodshop. There's an overturned desk, and several people here... who have smooth ovals of skin rather than faces. There are all uniforms of colors, except orange and green. They are huddled far from the boarded up windows and doors, and seem to be waiting. There's a smell on the air that you oddly enough can immediately identify as fear. Scattered around are some tools, a jangly metal staff, and a shotgun resting next to a bloodstained spot under a window.

The water is ruby red and knee deep in this room. You don't immediately see an exit. The windows and doors are all boarded up. ]

Common Room

[You find yourself back at Hydra's dorms. It would be picture perfect if not for the knee-deep water and the deathbunny sitting on the table, blissfully nomming a neverending pile of plates. Other objects, though less immediately out of place are scattered around the room, like the Do Not Shank list is still up and blank, or on the table there is a cake with pink frosting, a meal, jerky and some sketches.

The sleeping quarters of most of the members seem gray and flat, as does the way into the kitchen. However, by the ladder outside the water nearby is mixing with trails of red... the water just in front of Fang's door seems a deeper blue.]

MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

Antechamber

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[You fall into the room accompanied by a large wave of water... it drains off, leaving you on the floor.

The room is circular and plain, looking a bit more like a gigantic cage than a formal room. It is mercifully dry here, and you seem to be hanging above the water. Through the bars you can't seem to make much of anything out. Of the three things of note in here, the first is that the 'floor' seems to be made of a carpet simple steel chains, making your progress a little tricky, but not impossible. There is an undecorated metal table in the center of the room with something on it.

The exit is a simple, open door to the cage at the far wall. There doesn't seem to be a way back up.]

Waking up~

[It has been some time, Allen probably has a monster headache, there is the smell of good meat cooking...

All in all not a bad time for Hydra + one Pyxis to get dropped back into the arena.]
