The Colosseum had fallen on hard times after the collapse of the world famous sport known as Inferno, following the grizzly murders of one of the sports favourite teams and the suicide of the Colosseum's owner Gerald. J. Peterson. The once dilapidated building is now under new management and has had a facelift.
The new façade screams opulent at passers by with a Classic ancient Rome theme. The Colosseum which was once just a basic brown shaded Octagonal box now has marble columns and archways and looks fresh out of Ancient Rome. The interior looks more like a high grade Casino than a Sporting Arena with staff dressed in Togas and Centurion Armor. The Floors are Black marble with every other surface sporting a golden trim. This them flows throughout the building even into the many toilet facilities.
The arena itself is a sight to behold, several large conveyer belts extend from a wall to circle large heavy duty thrones.
Which brings us to the sport itself. The competition is relatively simple. Eat as much as you can. The real competition begins when you see the other competitors. Morbidly Obese individuals who shovel the passing food into their mouths. They constantly devour the seemingly endless conveyer of food until they are rather violently sick, except that is not the end of the competition. They go straight back to eating. The sick mounts up over the allotted time and is weighed at the end. The winner is determined by the volume of vomit. This sport is not for everyone yet it seemingly pulls in a huge crowd. This Sport seems to be taking hold and as of now has put the Colosseum back in the Limelight.

“The experts talk about fashion in grandiose terms, labeling trends as if they were generations of people or schools of philosophy. Kitsch was big in the 2020s. Bright colors and ostentatious displays. During the Time of the Red, Entropy rose as people wore whatever they could find, trying to build a sense of style out of rags and leftovers. The Mediacorps say the next big thing is Neo-Militarism. Stark lines and dark colors. Fuck. I hope not.” — Shears Tailor at Torrel and Chiang
Let’s talk stuff. To the rich, stuff’s a status symbol and wealth. To the poor, stuff’s the difference between a flicker of comfort and soul-crushing misery. To Techs like me? Stuff’s an opportunity. Sure, you can use anything according to factory instructions, but the true genius lies in finding new, unexpected uses. What’s the old saying? The Street finds a way? It sure as hell does when a Tech’s living there!
