The Final Challenge

[airlockedmods]

[Welcome back, Champions. You've found everything that there is to find (for good or for ill), and now there's just one door left: The sealed, electronic door at the top of the room you woke up in.

It's time to gather your evidence, screw your courage to the sticking place, and carve your own place in the stars.]

[He does so, even adding his full title of Crown Prince of Nohr and his Champion title, clear and brisk]

[airlockedmods]

Credentials acknowledged. Welcome, Prince Xander of Nohr, Ultimate Champion.

Please humor me by answering a few security questions to gain full clearance.

[kingshaming]

Understood.

[airlockedmods]

[These questions appear on the screen as well, so that she doesn't have to repeat herself.]

What is the purpose of the Champion Excellence Program?

[kingshaming]

[He opens his mouth to answer: to find the ultimate champion, of course!

But why? He had asked Bolton as much but got no real answer. So instead he closes his mouth sharp enough to click his teeth, and turns to the Doctor:]

Gather everyone, this may be our only chance to answer this question and I'd rather not lock us in here for eternity because I was too impatient.

[stitch_in_time]

Officially? Finding an Ultimate Champion, something about proving what people are capable of under pressure on a theoretically level field.

In practice? Ratings and profit for the network broadcasting it.

[kingshaming]

Considering how much effort is in the promotion of all this I would say the 'show' is certainly the main goal. What is the point of seeing a competition if there's no winner?

[imnotfat]

[Alright, group meeting time]

'To provide entertainment to the masses' may be a valid option.

[kingshaming]

That's my thought. There's too much here for that NOT to be the main goal.

[stitch_in_time]

...officially, or in practice?

[Or is this the Xander solo hour?]

[airlockedmods]

[The screen doesn't change and she doesn't answer. Looks like you gotta make the pretty one say it, Doc]

[kingshaming]

[He mimics exactly what the Doctor said, even his accent and exact wording. Just to be a shit]

[airlockedmods]

I'm sorry. "Officially, or in practice?" is not the correct answer.

[She can be a shit right back.]

[kingshaming]

Oh, now you're just being obstinate.

[cyan_maid]

...Try combining both. "To produce an Ultimate Champion for the entertainment of the masses".

[kingshaming]

Seems like that might be our best bet. And unless our friend here is ONLY mocking me, it seems we might have a few tries at this.

[cyan_maid]

If anything...we'll find a way in, somehow. I do believe it.

[Take the sword out. Rip the door open.]

[kingshaming]

[he pats his sword, seems they have the same idea]

One way or another.

[kingshaming]

[After talking with Jane:]

"To produce an Ultimate Champion for the entertainment of the masses."

[airlockedmods]

Correct.

How many followers does the Program's social media account have?

[imnotfat]

[Togami glances at Xander. You were paying attention to what he said earlier, right?]

[kingshaming]

[He sure was bro]

[kingshaming]

[He remembers what Togami said:]

500 million followers.

[Then, to cover any specific numbers:]

... and rising.

[airlockedmods]

Correct.

What term do the fans use to refer to your relationship with the Champion Sister?

[stitch_in_time]

[Just fucking snickering.]
