8th Castle: Making a World Record! [Video] + [Action]

[Video]

COME ONE, COME ALL!

[This is how Nora gets attention! By shouting really loudly once opening a feed.]

I'm gonna set a world record! I'm gonna hold up as many people on a bench as possible! My goal is at least fifty! [GRINS!] So hurry up! I wanna eat lunch!

[Action: Genessia Park]

[Nora is easy to find. A crowd gathers around her as she casually holds a bench over her head with both hands. She plans to set the record before lunch.]

[Who's standing? Who's jumping?? Jump in here!

She'll probably start wobbling around 60 participants, but will definitely fall over at 100. Depending on the weight. But probably because the bench broke...]

[Michio is going to be attempting to look suitably impressed.]

[Looks up at him from below]

Are you sure you wanna be in nice clothes?

Why not?

[He waves off the question with a smirk.]

The worst that could happen is you drop the bench, or it breaks. Neither is a serious concern to me.

Well don't try to get your fifteen minutes of fame while you're up there!

[Not on her watch!]

People have a habit of trying that with you? Anyway, this is your moment.

Nah, no one's tried that yet. [Probably because they know better.]

So, you like dangerous stuff?

Lucky.

I'm a bit of a thrillseeker, true enough.

[ Look she. She really wants to participate. ]

I think I should probably go somewhere near the top...

[ She is tiny please don't squish her at the bottom of the people pile. She's definitely looking at this warily as she prepares to get up. ]

You might wanna use your glyphs to get up there, then.

[There's gonna be a lot of people, surely.]

That's the plan.

[ She has no idea how everyone else is getting up though. ]

Can I hold some people up like this? [He raises his arms up with an invisible person.]

Invisible people?

[She's planning on fitting 50 people on that? Looks like some serious piling is going to have to be done.]

If we're going to make a pyramid I could help fly some people to the top because it might be hard for other people to get up there.

You could help Weiss! [She's like a feather, so the girl shouldn't have trouble!] She'll probably wanna be at the top.

Sure! I can take someone else up too, if you want; I’m really strong. [It’s a bit of an understatement, but Colette was never one to brag.]

Really? How strong? [Already thinking about an arm wrestling contest.]

Umm... I don't know exactly. I never really measured it. [She frowns, trying to come up with a better answer for Nora.]

Oh! I picked up my friend Regal once with one arm, and he probably weighs a little under 200 pounds? But he felt really light to me.

[Angel strength, man. It's freaking powerful stuff.]

Whoa...really?!

[A pause before her face lights up with a smile.]

You wanna arm wrestle?!

Arm wrestle? [She blinks. She certainly hadn't expected that.] Umm... I guess we could. Oh, but I don't want to hurt you!

Uh...I think I'll be fine.

[Says the girl trying to break a world record at the moment.]

Not right now, though! Maybe like...later? [That's a good and vague time!]

Yeah, sure! Just let me know when, m'kay?

Oh, did you want me to bring anyone else up with me or just Weiss?

Just Weiss, and if anyone else asks you, feel free to help them!

Is that wise? What's the bench made of?

Of course it's wise! [Maybe...]

I think it's made of metal?

The more people you add to the bench the higher the chances of someone getting hurt when it breaks.

You think?

Then they shouldn't participate!

Look, I didn't make the benches, okay?! Don't ask me!

I'm just a concerned citizen.

What will doing this accomplish?

You'll have to participate to find out.

[Because she doesn't know besides street cred.]

I'm not easy to break but If I fall on top of any human you all don't be so lucky. Are you sure you want me there?

It'll help my record, so why not?

[If people don't know there'll be danger trying this, then it's their own fault.]

First, because I have no interest in crushing people. Second, because I really don't care about records. So I think I'll pass.

Fifty you say? Well, I can't turn down a feat of strength, I'll be there.

Sounds like fun! Hopefully it's a very wide bench to hold so many, unless we're to make pyramids. Can pokemon pile on?

That's cheating! Only humans!

[ Ow. Loud was an understatement. ]

Is there a reason the goal is fifty? You probably should have eaten lunch first.

I thought fifty is a good number to attract people. [Shrugs]

...oh man, you're right! If I had eaten lunch, I should have made it two hundred!

Did it work? [ He was kind of curious as to how many would willingly participate. ] You could probably eat while you wait for people to show up. [ And maybe get distracted and forget doing it at all. Why do all the kids around here want to do such dangerous things. ]

Maybe I have a candy bar in my pocket...

[Using one hand, she fishes for something while holding up the bench with just one arm.]

So far just about twenty showed up. People have no sense of priorities in their life.

[ ... that had the direct opposite effect. She sure was actually lifting that thing, though. With one hand. Surprises still exist in the world. Amazing. ] Or they're afraid of breaking their spines. That's probably a factor. [ He still felt a little uneasy about the whole idea. ]

[All she finds in her pocket is gum. Well, from now on she'll have to remember to keep a food stash in her pockets! She pops it into her mouth, making sure all the wrapper came off. Then she goes back to holding up the bench with two hands.]

It'll be fine! I haven't broken anyone's spines or any other limbs yet! [Which is quite a feat, considering her strength.]

[ Back to two hands. Small miracles. ] The way you say "yet" like it's a very real possibility is a bit frightening. [ ... ] Do you want me to bring you something? Food, I mean. I'd really like to decrease the chance of the hospital filling up past capacity.

That would be great, mister! Anything is fine, as long as you triple it.

[...she's very serious. He shouldn't have offered!]

You must be extremely strong if you want to lift up fifty people.

Well, yeah.

{That was the gist of her little display of strength, after all.]

I'm not doing this to prove I'm not.

It makes me wonder, what do you do to get that strong?

Uh...have a semblance?

[And lift weights, but basically semblance. Probably.]
