Intro [Open to all]

[bloodvow]

[Out of all the indignities Tokaku have had to deal with since the less than desirable outcome of her mission (save for the obvious, of course), her presence in what passes for a food hall has to be the sorest. She's gone through the motions since her arrest, hardly tense at the threat of discomfort.

The bland and utterly unappetizing food shouldn't have been a surprise, but it's unwelcome all the same. She pokes at it listlessly, knowing she needs to eat to keep her spirits up and her sanity in this place, and yet....

If there's any motivation to improve her circumstances left in her, it will be cultivated to obtain a decent bowl of curry.]

Tokaku Azuma, but call me Azuma. [No please or casualness about it. She's not sure she can bear the weight of her first name here of all places.] You've been here long enough?

[sentimentalpsycho]

Sure thing. Azuma is pretty cool.

[ She shook her head. ]

Not even been a week yet. I'm a newbie too, honestly.

[bloodvow]

[She thinks she likes her already, just for that.]

Not hardened yet, then, or is that just a prison stereotype?

[sentimentalpsycho]

I'm tough when I need to be. As for the stereotypes, it kinda come down to who you talk to. Some people get rough, yeah, but there's people who know the balance too.

[bloodvow]

It's like high school all over again. [And she's not being sarcastic, given her previous setting.] So, who do I look out for?

[sentimentalpsycho]

You must have gone to one hell of a high school.

[ She shrugged at the question. ]

I only know two people you might wanna avoid so far, at least on the battlefield. A guy named Ankh is pretty willing to set fire to anyone who pisses him off, so probably stay out of his way. The other guy, Philip, ain't a bad kid at all but when he's fighting he's pretty dangerous. Try not to get in the ring with him.

I'd tell you to say on the staff's good side, but, eh... not like I've made the effort.

[bloodvow]

[Well. She's not wrong]

Don't worry. I have no intention of getting into trouble. [Only out of apathy rather than self preservation]

How unavoidable fights are here, realistically?

[sentimentalpsycho]

Considering that I've been thrown in the ring already, pretty damn unavoidable.

[bloodvow]

And has anyone died yet?

[sentimentalpsycho]

[ She shrugged. ]

Yeah, but they do some weird shit here. They keep us from dyin' permanently somehow.
