“First time actually, in a more [i]official[/i] 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]I[/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.
