Stocking Up
I had to buy roller blades at a vendor in the arena. It was called Ralph's Blade Emporium. A chubby man with shaggy black hair, a five o clock shadow, and a cigar in his mouth sat in a chair at the counter. Behind him on the walls hung various roller blades and blades of all sorts.
There were nano and vibro blade swords, knives, machetes, daggers, throwing knives, and even things I didn't know the names of. All the weapons were short range including the throwing knives, but they weren't all melee or throwing weapons. One of them was a plasma cutter.
My brain immediately thought 'that seems dangerous', but then I realized all of these weapons were dangerous. Not just for other contestants, but for me as well. Nano and vibro blades were designed to cut through even the strongest of metals.
