So. What kind of prizes are we talking about?

[k2so]

There will be three different classes of medals: gold for the winner, silver for the first runner-up and bronze for the second runner-up. Those who end placing fourth will get an Olympic diploma and a plushie wearing a t-shirt with the Olympic Games logo. It's explained in more detail in the attached Event Organizer Handbook.

[But Kay doesn't mind clarifying the info and it gives him a excuse to finally talk to the other man.]

You are Dante, correct?

[alwaysimpaled]

Just medals? No cash prize or anything? Dang. I was kinda hoping to make some money off this, but a medal would be nice too.

[He nods.]

The one and only~

[lycannerd]

I'm interested! But do you have any fighting sport included for the event?

[Text]

[k2so]

The sports categories are listed in the vent Organizer Handbook. [That apparently no one bothers to read. Kay isn't that surprising.]

But yes, we have Greco-Roman wrestling.

Re: [Text]

[lycannerd]

[Greco-Roman? He heard about that sport, but despite his werewolf strength (which he doubts he can use it since it might be cheating), it's not the ideal sport for him to participate. But his mentor did say that he might learn some new tricks if he tries something different.]

Wrestling, huh? Do they accept teenage participants?

[orlokbutterfly]

Didn't know Attleton was capable of having something even remotely interesting going on.

But a dance-off, eh? I'll apologize for crushing the competition in advance. [At least he's got the skills to match his arrogance.]

I'd be happy to add in on the sponsorships as well.

[k2so]

It does now! We want to show the world all the things the city has to offer.

Confidence goes a long way. [Nice, they're already getting participants.] Best luck.

That will be amazing. I'll send you the extra information then. Any idea what you would like to sponsor?

[orlokbutterfly]

I hope you lot ramp up the difficulty. I get bored playing on only one dance pad.

I'll sponsor my own racer, at the very least. [Yep, he's already in the running for that too.] Anything else, you could slap me on whatever you want. I'm not picky.

[Real helpful, Gale.]

[He's kind of glad this is text. After their previous conversation, talking to Kay is a little awkward.]

Wow, you really went all out.

Did you need any security included in the volunteering?

[Text]

[k2so]

[Aww Jaune, don't feel bad.]

Thank you, we've been working on this for quite some time now. We want people to have a good time and help make Attleton City more interesting. It has a lot to offer.

Yes, we need people to make sure nothing bad happens and that can also be ready if there's a possible emergency.

[aurabble]

The fact that you're both interested in it and do more than just your jobs makes other people want to be more interested. It's a nice city, but I think people appreciate more when you do things like this. They don't always think to explore them.

Okay I'll go sign up for that for when I'm not competing.

No age limits for athletes?

[A pause.]

Also that's a good quote.

Video for Kay

[k2so]

Hello.

No, there's no limiting age but for certain sports, such as wrestling, the judges might set the participants in pairs that are similarly built. It's to keep things as fair for both contestant as possible.

Thank you, we thought it conveyed the real spirit of the Games.

Still Audio for Chara

[corruptedsave]

Interesting, I'll probably sign up for stuff then.

[Not wrestling or anything, but yanno.]

It can convey the spirit of a lot of things, not just Games.

[misskringle]

Need anyone to help with paperwork?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Paperwork! Cassian's magic cue. ]

We would appreciate help with the paperwork, yes. The pile keeps growing no matter what we do.

[k2so]

Hello, Miss Kringle.

Some help with it would be great. As soon as people start signing up for the games there will be a lot of things to organize. I can handle most of it but I have more than one job at the moment and I'm short on time.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Sounds interesting.

I might feel like getting into it.

[k2so]

The more people who participates, the better. Is there any sport that gets your attention over the others?

[Message sent to both Kay and Cassian]

[bodhi_rook]

You're really making the most of your time here, aren't you.

[captain_by_the_book]

It's for Attleton.

[ And a little for them, living for the first time there is time to do something that isn't all about survival. ]

[k2so]

It's a good way to keep ourselves busy.


Would you like to participate in the Games?

Hello. You are free to do so but can I ask why the 4th place?
