THE GREATEST SHOW UNEARTHED

WHO: The HABIT [personal profile] whocouldwinarabbit and his eighteen lucky Rabbits.
WHERE: Yankee Stadium.
WHEN: Tuesday, November 13 afternoon onward.
WARNINGS: Not for the children. Graphic murder expected.
SUMMARY: THUNDERDOME.
FORMAT: Whatever our contestants would like.

"Rise and fucking shine, campers!" blasts the loudspeaker.

Eighteen bodies. Not a bad turnout. He's hauled them into the locker rooms to wake up together, tied balloon strings to their wrists, the balloons Skittles colors. Angora, some say in sharpie, Flemish Giant. And all have a smile drawn on, bunny ears on top.

"You're probably wondering what the hell you're doing here, right? Wonder no more! Welcome to the Trials, rabbits. Time to feed the HABIT."

The crowd roars in response, their fists in the air. They're not nearly enough to fill the stands, not hardly, the count's barely crawling up to a hundred -- but it's the impassive eyes of the cameras set up around the stadium that matter. These idiots are just for the noise of it.

"Now, see, the rules to this game are real simple. All you gotta do is kill everybody else. That's it! What could be easier, right? Knife in the brain. Sword in the guts. I don't care how you do it, just do it, meat. Look at it this way: the Porter'll bring you back good as new. So... what's keeping you? Besides, hey... the winner gets a prize."

HABIT laughs tinnily through the sound system, over the sound of the crowd. "If one of you makes a break for it -- go ahead! I encourage it, make your move -- but you will notice that there's no escape. Can't have you spoiling my fun, now can we? The good people up there in the stands paid twenty-nine ninety-nine for a show, and by fucking golly, they're gonna get it."

"Now... if you'll look at the balloons for your group assignments. Flemish Giants, why don't you come on out here? No, no, hey, don't be shy. Being first is a big ol' honor. So show us some blood!"

He hits the music, and opens the doors.

[She watches him die with something very close to glee, even laughing a bit when he finally falls. Her breathing is a little harsh, and she's smoothing out her hair with one hand. That definitely wasn't easy, but she'll never admit it.

Her eyes lock onto the other competitor and she gives him a demure smile.]
Now, why don't you just make this easy on yourself and close your eyes? I might even choose to be merciful.

[Piccolo watched the entire thing... He felt like stepping in, but he didn't know these people. He wasn't sure who to defend.

Little did she know, while the namek didn't fight he had noticed plenty within that battle. Unfortunately, Piccolo was never the kind to roll over and accept defeat... not when he knew he had a fighting chance against her. Now it was clear that his vitality was in danger. He was against fighting people for the sake of it... but she was ready to attack and he was going to defend himself.

If you expect me to accept death, you have another thing coming.

[He glared at her, arms crossed over his chest.]

I don't want to fight you, but you killed that man. I take that you aren't going to back down, but... I'm giving you the chance now to change your mind.
hedera: (I have been fighting the good fight)

Change my mind to what? You saw the fights before us; only one of us is getting out of here alive. And I'm sure as hell not going to let it be you.

[Her vines twist around her fingers.] Do you want to die like this worthless human? Because I can promise you something very painful, if you want.
namekian: (really?)

[He lets out a growl, showing his fangs. Clearly he had no choice in the matter. He pulled off his turban and his cape-- the items falling to the ground with a very heavy THUD. His eyes locked onto the woman.]

My name is Piccolo. I'm sorry to say, I'm not going to make this easy for you.

I'm not a stranger to pain. If you intend to fight me, I'd suggest you hold nothing back.

[He gets into a fighting stance, a white fiery aura spreading through his body as he powers up.]
hedera: (the devil wants to know)

Oh, darling, don't think for a moment that I won't.

Enough pleasantries. [Around her feet, plants-- grass and weeds, all she has here-- start to grow.] Don't keep me waiting.

[And he didn't. In moments, he charged ahead-- focusing energy blasts from his fingertips and palms to shoot out at her before he made contact. He threw a strong, purposeful fist at her, keeping his other hand close to his body in defense to anything she may throw at him.]
