Vivian had been busy as a bee setting up her Arena for the Battle Royale. She knew people were arriving but blatantly ignored them as she was busy working. And at some point she tweaked the concept and had to re-arrange a bit. Why? She realized most people prollie wouldn't wanna mess up their clothes. Vivian was clever. She adjusted, snickering wickedly to herself. It would be part honor system part slapstick, but she hoped the others would like it. Maybe. I mean Summer lived for wrath....the others, well, not so much. It took her an extra chunk of time though.
The Arena was broken up by color. Half the area was Red, and the other half Blue. She had erected obstacles that could be dove behind, and even hide others on both sides. Stuff you had to run around and climb over to add more difficulty. There was also an area marked in grey on the ground with large darker gray letters stating "SAFE ZONE" for people to quietly bow out if it was to much for them. Vivian understood that others may not be quite prepared for even a fake battle, even as slapstick as it was intended. To be silly and fun. You never knew what it might trigger in others. It was within the safe zone you could also get shirts that said "I survived! Battle Royale 2021" The color of the shirt determined your team, either Red or Blue to distinguish between combatants.
What took the extra time though? Instead of using paint, she decided to affix hand buzzers to the weapons. So when you hit someone with the foam weapons, you got a little jolt to know you have been hit! She figured that was better than paint. Vivian had an Airhorn to monitor the fight and when people raised their hands to single they were out, she would sound it! She was hitting all the areas she felt were important. Honor, sportsmanship, discomfort (buzzer), and loud sudden noises. She had some music set up for it and she was super excited to see this play out. Well if anyone participated of course.
