“First time actually, in a more official setting.” Archie replied to Blair, “I spent most of last year designing the whole thing, testing it with some of the senior students and faculty. Now, I’m gonna see how it plays out, and after the champion’s been named, revise it as necessary for next year.”

Archie placed his hands in his blazer pockets, taking another look at the poster. “I just hope people like it, is all. Something to entertain.”

He paused a moment before continuing. “Anyhoo… believe they’re gonna start orientation over at the main stage pretty soon, so you’re gonna wanna be present for that.” He stated, in as casual and subtle a tone as possible, “You want to talk more on the challenge, I will be at my club, the Apothic. You can find it on the map they’ll be giving you in a bit.” Yes, it was a bit of shameless self-promoting, but Archie was the sort who was undeterred by the practice.

He stepped backward a bit, looking to leave. “Take care, Sparky.” He said, acting as if he and Blair were already fast friends. He turned, and began making his way away from the bustle of the hub’s gathering crowd.

Is it just my turn to get burned to death tonight or something?

Damn, he's going to be gone all week.

Okay. I'm defeated. Life bar empty. Dropped my loot.

@SepticGentleman
You don't miss a beat, do you?

@Mega Birb

I promised my coach I would become the fastest poster alive before an edgelord murdered him to death.

Also it's late, I'm bored, and New Years has already lost its luster.

Archie’s attention turned towards the new girl, dressed in by far the most punk-ish outfit he’d seen on the station today. And she was sporting a robotic arm to boot. This, this is what Archie loved, all these characters with quirks and personality. Brought a whole ton of spice to the happenings aboard the Promise.

“Well, uh…” Archie said, retracting his hand from the attempted handshake with the rugged gentleman. He paused for a moment to collect himself. He cleared his throat - metaphorically - and began.

“Blair Van Zant.” He repeated her name, a bit struck by it. Then again, there was plenty else to be struck by in this crazy place. “Hello. My name is Andrew, or, Archie, yes, and…” He paused again, turning to his first source of intrigue. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name, sir?” The gentleman simply replied, “Abe.” He looked just a tad confused, and irritated, but he was still present, so Archie attempted to salvage the situation by explaining the rules of his challenge.

“Yes, well, the way it works in detail is - five arenas, ascending in general difficulty and number of enemies to face. We start with Prima, and take the hundred or fewer participants who make it through all five waves and defeat the ‘boss’, so to say. All those hundred are then allowed to take on Secura, the second arena, and half of the participants who finish the arena with the best times move on to Tertia. And so on to Quartia, and lastly to Quinta. For the final challenge in particular, who so of the ten participants who finishes it in the fastest time, takes home the grand prize of ten thousand credits, in addition to their winnings from previous trials. All are welcome to participate, students new and old alike, as long as they believe their powers are combat-applicable. The challenges are nonlethal towards the fighters, of course, as I don't want any blood on my hands. My constructs are designed purely to incapacitate.”

Archie clapped his hands together, darting his vision between Blair and Abe. “All understood?” He asked, holding his hands out.

Happy New Year to all you filthy savages.

“Well…” Archie began in response, “It is a game, friend. And plenty of people are gonna be part of it this year.” He took a step around Abraham, looking at the poster.

“But it’s no sinister plot or, criminal undertaking, I assure you.” He continued, “It’s simply what it says. Come to one of my arenas, fight some enemies of my design, win some credits. Credits, of course, being the staple currency aboard the Promise - not sure if they told you so already, thought I might as well. Nothing else to the game, just gotta… take your money, spend it how you like. Better payday than student allowance or most jobs here, I’ll tell you.” He turned his head to Abraham, meeting his gaze (in a sense). “I am the proprietor of this venture, by the way.” He said, pointing towards the circle with the X in it at the bottom of the poster, akin to the design of his own mask.

“Andrew Malcolm Davis. Archie. Pleasure to meet you.”

He extended his right gloved hand, for a shake.

@Maxx

Yes, I am aware. Working towards it. It's been a hectic past few days between tournament, holidays, relatives, and new years. I'm doing my best.

@JunkMail

No jokes this time, take it easy my dude. After 2016 we could all use a break.
