To say that Rick was surprised when he entered the arena would be a massive understatement. When he heard that the competition was going to take place within a coliseum, he thought it'd be a reasonably large ring but still somewhat akin to something like wrestling. No, the coliseum was nearly as big as a football field, and as if that weren't enough a several-story spire rose out of the middle! As bad as he was with directions, he could easily get lost in here...
Rick's socked feet padded into the arena, the sand of the coliseum floor being kept mostly out, although a few stray grains slipped through the ankles. Not enough to be bothersome, just enough for him to notice. He looked around in awe of the massive structure, coming out from one side of the arena wall, where he quickly notice the spikes protruding from them. Those things looked dangerous! Upon closer inspection, however, the spikes weren't nearly sharp enough to hurt, probably more for effect than anything.
Relieved, Rick rolled his shoulders as he looked around the arena. He didn't see anyone else there. Maybe he'd arrived early. If so, then the spire in the center looked like it deserved a look. Would be nice to know what it looked like on the inside.
