Axel watched Anna poke the air with the scissor blade and decided that it had been an okay decision to give it to her. He was hoping Anna had taken it as a sign of trust. It wasn't; the only thing Axel trusted about her was that she was not a threat to him.
"Oh yeah. If anyone comes at me with some menacing construction paper, they're done."
"Hah. There actually have been people who got killed with paper in these games," he replied after her joke. "Someone got a newspaper in some season a while ago, and jammed it down another kid's throat." That death had of course been played as comedy by the show, because it was an annoying guy that would never shut up who got choked. Seemed a bit more grim now that they were actually on SOTF-TV. Axel ran a few fingers over the folded up roster in his pocket.
I could be the paper-killer this game.
Fortunately, he had other means. He unslung the weighted sock from around his neck and let it hang by his side.
"I'm all for taking my place in the spotlight, Bos. What's say we blow this hot dog stand?"
"Freudian slip?" he asked.
"L...Let's get going."
"Yeah." Axel put up a finger and looked around in an arc at the trees.
Damn it, this jungle isn't even that big. How have we been so lost here? "Let's go...that way." He took the lead and started walking. Seeing as a naked guy had just run off chasing a monkey with his clothes, it seemed the universal laws of comedy were in effect here. Thus, he had chosen to go the exact opposite direction of the way the moron had taken.
"Oh yeah, Anna, if we run into anybody, aim low with that knife. Like stomach level. People don't block as good there. But if you get a chance where they can't defend against it, cut their face up. And don't just do it once, that scissor blade isn't very big. Just keep on stabbing them. Anyway, glory or death, here we come."
