Anthem - Day 9

[umber vivuus 12b 🥀 [dars]]

"Combat imminent," Hades said clearly, "Prepare the 30 second delay." A 4D projected rendering of the arena took up the entire play space of the table in front of them. In the far right, Xov's icon moved alone for the day, already having finished what needed finishing earlier when she made quick work of the boy from Six and left him almost as soon as she'd found him. But the two icons Hades was most focused on in that moment were those belonging to Lucky and Lionel, slowly headed toward one another, slowly guided by their not-so-gentle hand. "Astrid and Giselle at my side, please. Confrontation in 3, 2-"

He smiled at the fight's start, eager to watch it. Lucky, who was finally okay showing the world who he truly was, made Hades like him more. A villain to the world is a hero to the franchise, and it was people like Lucky who brought out the most interesting parts of others. Contrarywise, Lionel hated Lucky with such relentless fervor that he didn't even realize how strongly he was playing into their hands. Yes, Hades thought, be a good little lamb. Fight the big bad wolf. The truth was that Hades could make the world think whatever he wanted about Lionel, or any tribute.

"Did Ivan send that to you? Must of come from the same place he gets his porn stash."

"Cut that out," Hades said, purposefully not making eye contact with the younger gamemaker who sat close-by.

"Rumor has it that your pal Ivan is a little like that. Heard that he-"

"Cut that out too," he said with an exasperated sigh. At this point he couldn't ignore it any longer, eyes flicking up to Ivan with curiosity, "Kid's a real fan of yours."



          LUCKY NATCHNEBEL, district four
          AXYL WILLOUGHBY, district six


☀️ So far as the masses knew, good triumphed over evil. Axyl Willoughby and Lucky Natchnebel fell, Xov Thao and Lionel Estrada remained. But there could only be one winner.

With the turn of a knob on the control panel, the arena was drenched in torrential downpour. Sheets of rain so thick that it was impossible to see through them falling so hard that the drops stung skin on contact. Even shelter beneath the trees proved to be a failure. The mines below were surely filling up with water as the seconds ticked by and the flash flood grew even worse. There seemed to only be one place that could offer true temporary sanctuary from the storm in the entire arena: the lodge where it all began. A glowing beacon in the dark, almost complete with a sign that said 'Welcome to the finale.'
