Welcome to the Program

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

Oh, neat. So, like, your fiance...?

[He knows what betrothed means, it's just a weird term to use.]

[keepmeinyourheart]

Exactly that. [Look, she's royally raised. That's the word she grew up using.] It is an arranged marriage, but I couldn't be happier.

[theundertaken]

...wow, is that common where you're from?

[keepmeinyourheart]

No, it is usually something only the upper class and royalty engage in.
