Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

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 good another name he's never heard of.]

Is he also Russian?

[quadjumps]

[ a nod. ]

I'll beat him one day, though. I'll surprise people even more than he ever could.

[karappo]

[Karamatsu smirks, putting a hand on his hip.]

That is the spirit! Then you will be known as the greatest skater in the world.

[quadjumps]

That's the plan.

[ a little smirk on his face, now. ]

Then you'll see me everywhere. There's no way you won't know who I am.

[karappo]

[Oh...that's exciting. He'll know a celebrity!]

Do you think they will create merchandise under your name?

[quadjumps]

Posters, maybe. Fans can be annoying as shit, though.

[ but he loves them. ]

[karappo]

Eeeehhh?? How could you say such a thing? Having thousands of fans adoring you, cheering your name when you walk past...I cannot imagine a greater lifestyle!

[quadjumps]

It's not when they're stalkers!

[ he appreciates his fans ok...he's just...tsuning ]

[karappo]

[You giant tsundere.]

That...that is so flattering...

[Also no it's not???]

[quadjumps]

It's annoying and freaky as hell!

[ KARAMATSU... ]

[karappo]

At least you have people who adore you, though!

[Mm. Wait. That sounded a little desperate. ...and sad.]

But...I do suppose it is just a singular part of super-stardom.

[quadjumps]

Are you jealous?

[karappo]

Only so long as I cannot share those same fans. But someday...someday that will change, you mark my words.
