One advantage of the artificiality of the set-up that Aztechnology has going here is the relative lack of flying parasites compared to what it would be like in the real world. Of course, this just means that everyone wakes up wishing for an insect screen as opposed to desperately needing one. (Too many of them picking on her bedmate would also be Derple's first guess for why the metaphoric puddle of white, at least until being reminded of some of the changes that Gyudon's body had made to it.)<br/><br/>And in a big display that's sure to look even more impressive in the recording, a flaming eagle carrying a snake gives out a grand announcement. Since everything's on a bit of an advanced schedule compared to the real contest, there's going to be two big events happening today. First, the groups are going to be divided into sets of three. Each set fights for a crate of basic supplies. Arrive at the drop point, hold it for a while, and then take it back. Second, each of those sets can try to raid one another. Kill or capture an entire encampment and you get some drones to help defend your base and some things based on the encampment taken. Partial does get something, but that's apparently a surprise.<br/><br/>"From tomorrow on, it's going to be more of a free-for all, so take advantage of today!" Those are the last words of the eagle thing, before it disappears.<br/><br/>And for today, Derple's group is competing with a group labeled Luxury (reward: two slaves, two drones, food, drink), and Irons (supplies to make it so that you don't have to knock out or kill the enemy, you can capture them more easily, one drone). Her own group is labled armory (and the rewards are either going to get the other two groups to work together in a big way, or fall over themselves trying to make sure that the other side doesn't win, because it's weapons and ten drones. Seems there's a price on everyone's heads now. But not the biggest. One group has a reward of 25 drones. Gotta be somebody scary as hell.)
