Maple clutched her sword tightly, though she wasn't worried that she'd drop it, more like nervous to be in an arena full of people. She swung at the fake lizard-woman, taking an arm off of it. Fake blood trickled out of the wound yet the dummy still advanced on it's track, it's working arm still swinging. Maple sidestepped it gracefully and stabbed the dummy with her sword, making it power down.
Though she felt really happy to be advancing with her sword, her feet itched to be dancing. She had found a really great song she wanted to dance to, but after the encounter with the stray hellhound, she didn't want to take chances.
She cleaned her sword quickly, then re-fixed straying blonde hairs into her ponytail. The damaged dummy retreated into the doorway it came from, and another one replaced it. Between the sound of the clanking of the mechanisms and the chatter and yells of the arena, Maple didn't hear someone come up behind her.

Seth Mantle:
Felt like a normal day at the arena: Kids were killing fake stuff while others were attempting to even pick up a weapon. Scanning over the large quantity of people Seth began to realize just how many people really use this place at once. Though one person stuck out pretty well, Maple Shortz. Shes been here half a year longer than myself but Ive barely come to know her. The most recognizable trait i notice instantly is how tensed up she is around a large group of people, even worse then i am. I then head over and attempt another one of my jokes."You know Maple, it helps your swinging if you arent tensed up." She keeps practicing without a glance towards me. I then realize that she probally cant hear me over all the other campers. I quickly tap her on the shoulder and shout."Hey Maple!"

Maple jumped as someone tapped her on the shoulder. She swung around with her sword, stopping it just in time before she hurt the person who tapped her.
"You scared me!" She said surprisedly, tensing a little more.
Then she looked confused. "Do I know you?"
Something at the back of her brain was churning, but she couldn't remember it entirely. Stupid ADHD...
She pressed the stop button for the exercise, which was on the wall behind her. The advancing hell-hound-dummy stopped suddenly and clanked back into the doorway it came from.

His heart slightly raced just as the sword came close to hitting him.
I guess the practice dummies aren't the only danger here, he thought.
He held back a slight chuckle of amusement,
" No you don't know me directly, but you're in the same cabin as me, only for half a year longer."
He had low hopes that that would jog her memory.
" Ether way i came over here to let you know that you have no reason to be nervous, no one is paying attention to you. Trust me, you'll do much better when relaxed."

"Sorry." Maple said apologetically, putting the sword down.
"I haven't seen you in the Muse cabin." She said, though she was hardly ever in it.
"Is it that obvious?" She gave a half-smile, but it disappeared quickly, as she was still nervous.
Then she gave a little laugh and loosened up a bit. "'Killing' a whatever-you-call-them lizard woman seemed pretty darn good to me!" She teased.
