Go to the fridge, get a glass of milk, and put the finger in it, then find a good place to display it in my room.
Heck yeah!

A glass of milk? Well...ok.
You fill a clear plastic cup up with milk and plop the finger into it before sticking it up on top of the book case as a sort of trophy. You put your hands on your hips and nod appreciatively to yourself. Yes, that will do nicely.
Sweet! Blood-hand!
Go freak random people out with BLOOD HAND. Posture for the cameras.
You run about the room, waving your now much less shiny metal hand in people's faces and yelling "WOOOOOOO BLOOOOOD HAAAAAAND!" Once that has lost it's charm, you run to the nearest corner of the room and begin making various gestures and poses towards the camera. You make sure your "Blood hand" is always in the shot.
Collect my first-aid kit from the vending machine, then head back to my chair and my book. Check out the contents of the kit, then read for a while to numb the pain.
Description: A short, 29 year old woman. Has pale skin and medium length sea-green hair, tied back in a ponytail. Otherwise looks like she belongs in a library, not a deathmatch.
Reason for signing up: Was looking at bankruptcy and eternal ruin, or come die for the people's entertainment.

First Aid Kit
(( For the record, I *would* have asked someone, but the challenge specifically required that they be unaware 
))
The first aid kit is fairly simple, but effective. Some mild pain killers, thread and suture needles, bandages, tourniquet, gauze, materials for a splint, burn cream, and rubbing alcohol. Should help with minor injuries, at the very least.
Go slap someone in the stomach.
You slap Larry in the stomach. He responds by saying "Oof".
Go buy government-approved weapons and armour. Go 'practice my skills' with the police.
I'm leaning toward dealing with the audience via violence...
There's probably 1 or two more posts before the next episode starts, so you probably won't have time to do much.
Also there's a bar in the shopping center at the base of your apartment bloc. So the view is probably gonna be rather dull, unless you find a cramped hallway of garish neon signs and sweaty shopkeepers scenic.
Oh well, just count my remaining civil rights and liberties until the next show I guess.
Lets see here...
Well, no right to free speech, at least not entirely. No right to assemble. Right to own weapons is strangely unrestricted. You can vote, though the effectiveness is questionable. You can do basically any drug you want. The laws of self defense are extremely easy to manipulate, if you catch my drift. Prostitution is legal. Digital piracy has a death sentence, the legal age is a bit murky but it hovers around 15-17, except in the particularly bad part megaliths down south where "Legal age" is more of a suggestion, and the life expectancy is often single digits.
Allen Marc
((Heh. This next episode is gonna suck for everyone. No medical help for anyone unless you're really nice to Kriellya))
Rot my brain with more TV

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJk6VUMQLQ grab lighter, light candles, pray for gratuitous violence in next episode.
"I pray to the got of unspecific violence that this next episode of Dead Man Running be filled with the most horrible maiming and death imaginable. May I be desensitized to the death of my fellow man and leave the stadium with nothing but a sense of satisfaction and a new stain in my underwear."
There's a prayer for Lars.
Head back to the stadium (since the next episode is about to start), get a ticket and some more DD. (I'm assuming you get 1-10 DD every time you get a ticket?)

NAH, stadium with you.

Back to the stadium!

Almost got me there. You will return soon enough, two face. Give it a minute. We're gonna let anyone here finish up their last minute actions and then, end of next turn, you're back in the place.
