Gethin was still a little spaced out when the rules for the round were announced. Even as reality sank in, he could not help feeling removed from the world around him. He felt empty, like his body was left on autopilot while his mind remained just outside his skull. He was processing his environment just fine. There were people around him, he would have to get away from them. The objective was a high kill count. It was a group event. He started thinking of his next action while he stared blankly at the ground. His first thought was to get away from the crowd, like Kat had had him do in the prior game. Despite that, he didn't move. It was his first thought but his last instinct. It was a group round. He could find Kat? It seemed like a good idea but again his gut told him to pick another option. He'd probably get killed looking for her. Time was slowly running out for him and he had yet to make a decision when he heard someone yelling behind him.
His head turned toward the noise and he saw a blond guy shouting into the sky. From what he was saying Gethin deduced he was a first time participant. Someone greener than he was? Waiting for Kat to find him wasn't the best strategy nor was blindly looking for her. But if he could team up with someone right now, he might last long enough to see her. He couldn't trust someone stronger than him, they could turn around and stab him in the back as soon as the round started. He still had the sword Kat gave him, so he was better armed than someone just entering the game. If he could get him to agree to forming a team then he would have someone to watch his back, or at the very least a convenient meat shield.
Gethin blinked a few times. What was he just thinking? He looked around and saw the other players gearing up for the round. He only had a few more minutes until total carnage. Wincing inwardly he looked back at his fellow newbie. It was now or never.
"
Hey! Um, new.. guy?" He stumbled with his words as he approached. Yup, even in the face of death it wasn't any less awkward talking to a total stranger. Gethin could feel his face growing hot from embarrassment. "
Uh, I, um,," he mumbled as he thought to himself. "
Okay! So we're both kinda ******** right now so why not be ******** together?" As soon as the words left his mouth he dead panned. "
Uh, that... didn't even sound good in my head." He lamented. "
What the hell is wrong with me?" He questioned himself under his breath. "
W-what I meant was, let's uh, team up and try not to die?" Ladies and gentlemen: Gethin Maur, silver tongued serpent, master of the persuasive arts, seller of popsicles to Eskimos. "
And I have a sword!" Sold it.
