Fandom Gladiators; Thursday, Third Period [07/23].

The Gladiators would come into the Danger Shop that day to find a large foam pyramid at the center of the arena, so if anyone was wondering what they might be doing for this week's challenge, Rosa might let you skip wearing the helmet this week because there was clearly nothing up there that needed to be protected.

"Alright, Gladiators," she nodded once they all seemed settled, "this is the Pyramid. The goal is simple: get to the top. But, of course, it won't be that simple. The Chosen One. The Hammer. Assuming you were there. Since the two of you had the highest points in the Atlasphere challenge last week, you have been selected to defend the top of the pyramid. Do whatever it takes to make sure the other gladitors don't reach the top. We'll be going in rounds in pairs of two; the first one to the top gets the chance to compete again for ultimate champion, which...might give you an advantage next week.

"Any questions? If not, let's gear up and get going. The Chosen One," was she ever going to say that name and not make a face at it? Probably not, "the Hammer, head on up and get ready to defend the territory; the rest of you, get limber, get stretched, and get ready."

Was...was it cheating if Freya were to simply jump up to the top of the Pyramid? Because it wasn't even that high, compared to what Freya was used to jumping, but, somehow, it seemed to be incredibly against the whole spirit of the game if she were to simply leap over her competitor/roommate and those intended to impede her progress in one single, effortless leap...

So she decided she'd play nice and make two leaps, hopping easily to the far left corner of where she started, to land a few tiers up, and then preparing herself to make the second leap that would bring her to the top.
