  "Alright, gang! We know what the match-ups are. Those being: Inkaro is up against Kruvikroka, then me versus Mulinai, Yuuvia having her duel with Tolli-Toti, Xythio will go at it against Solus, and finally Myhail against Beueele. Heh... funny how the only royalty got matched up together, don't you agree, Aro?"

  [Aro4Grimoire]

  "I figure it's a ceremonial tradition."

  [Feline_Sunny]

  "Inkaro is spot on the money with that one, although it's unrelated to the festival. Any time members of different royal families are in the same event that involves direct confrontation are instantly considered sanctioned duels between countries and must face each other... I think that's the correct way to use that word."

  "It's my favourite worldwide law."

  "Being royalty sounds more of a hassle than being a noble."

  "@Judgment_Dragon. Mind explaining why we're having this discussion in a group chat when we're sitting next to each other? I can see the notes full of strategies on your phone from here."

  [Judgment_Dragon]

  "@SnakesRzaBest. And risk having our strategies overheard by that guy who has the ears to hear what Enulatina? No chance."

  ">:V Inkaro! Can you believe Surfboard called me that! Hit her with the de-ageing spell. Tournament be dammed!"

  [SnakesRzaBest]

  "The WHAAAAAAT! And you better not, Ring Rattler! Also, I am not a surfboard!"

  "Yuuvia certainly has a trigger finger for antagonising nicknames."

  [Yuvi's Sleeping Bag]

  "Sure that. She even does it in her sleep."

  [Aro4Grimoire]

  "Fascinating."

  "I haven't seen a single strategy suggestion yet. So should I suggest some?"

  [Wolfgang]

  "I believe that would count as outside interference if anyone outside of the assigned five gives any input; so it wouldn't be the best of ideas. It could be misinterpreted as us giving them information from the other team to them, given our outside position."

  [Chess-is-More-Than-a-Hobby]

  "I see. I appreciate the heads up, @Wolfgang"

  [Wolfgang]

  "That's not my name."

  "MYENDI!!!!"

  [Mirror-Guy]

  "Uh-Ohs~ I got caught."
