Savanaclaw Dorm

Savanaclaw Student A

Housewarden Leona!

Savanaclaw Student B

These students are trespassing on our territory!

Savanaclaw Student C

Let's teach 'em a little lesson! Heh heh heh.

Ruggie

Ah, I believe we met earlier, at the cafeteria.

Grim	Hey! It's the Grilled Cheeseburglar!

Ruggie

Hey now, friend. Let's not get carried away with such delicious-sounding nicknames. I have a proper name befitting my manly stature. It's Ruggie Bucchi. Don't wear it out.

Leona

Hey... I know you. You're the herbivores who stepped on my tail at the botanical gardens.

Savanaclaw Student A

You... You stepped on the housewarden's tail?

Savanaclaw Student B

Now you're really gonna pay!

And I AM sorry about that.

You're the botanical gardens' caretaker!

Savanaclaw Student A "Sorry" is not good enough! Ruggie Oh, that's right. I thought I'd seen you somewhere. It was in the gardens, huh?

Ruggie Bwah ha ha! You thought Leona was the caretaker? To be fair, he does treat it like a second home...

Savanaclaw Student B

C'mon, Leona, Ruggie—let's beat 'em up!

Leona

Stop yappin' like a pack of wild dogs. You really wanna risk starting a fight before the tournament? What if you get disqualified?

Savanaclaw Student C

What, so you're just gonna let 'em walk away? Not even nibble on 'em a little?!

Leona

No one's lettin' anyone walk away. We're gonna resolve this with a "friendly" game of Spelldrive.

Savanaclaw Student A

Spelldrive?

Leona

After all, it doesn't violate any school rules to cast spells during a game of Spelldrive.

Ruggie

Shyeheehee! I doubt these weaklings could endure so much as a single game.

Grim	Welp, I'm not takin' THAT lyin' down. Now we got no choice but to fight.

Deuce

You say that like we had a choice to begin with.

Ace	All right, fine! You're on. Cater! Remember this when you pick the official team!

Cater

Are you kidding me here...? Hashtag #lame. All right, let's do this... [MC], you watch from the sidelines. Try to read their movements and convey it to us, okay?

TWISTUNE

Twistune Dialogue - Play A Spelldrive Bout!
Twistune Start
Grim	I'm about to tear you guys apart!
Ruggie	Keep that talk up while you still can! Shyeheehee!
Leona	Fine by me. There's no fun in prey that doesn't bite back. Let's go, herbivores. Do your worst.
After Phase 1
Pass Grim That's how it's done! Keep up the pressure and stay on offense! Ace I'm not liking the smirks they've got plastered on their faces one bit... Cater Good eye, Acey. I think your read's dead on. Ruggie They're better than expected, huh, Leona? Leona Yeah... But we weren't expectin' all that much. Fail Leona They're not even puttin' up a fight. What a bore... Ruggie Oof. And I was sooo scared of you "tearing us apart," too! Deuce Rgh... Just you wait! We're only getting started! Leona Heh! Runnin' your mouth ain't gonna win you points in this game, y'know. Cater Time for round two, team! Brace yourselves!
After Phase 2
Pass Deuce We were so close! We could have reached the goal if he hasn't swiped the disc! Leona Not the sharpest claws in the plains, huh? We've just been toyin' with our prey. Rraaah! Ace Dude! What was THAT?! That long shot was insane! Leona And now it's back to the game. I'm far from through with you... Heh heh heh... Fail Leona Rraaah! Grim J-just how far was that long shot he made?! Leona I don't got all day, herbivores. Back to your starting positions. You ARE still up for playing with me, aren't you? Ruggie Still as much of a wildcat on the field as ever, Leona! Shyeheehee!

Savanaclaw Dorm - Spelldrive Stadium

Grim	pant* *pant*

Ace	No way... We didn't score once!

Deuce

There's not a single weak link in their defensive line!

Cater

Listen, Leona, sweetheart... Everyone knows you're a Spelldrive legend. You know we can't compete against you!

Leona

What's that? You givin' up already?

Ruggie

Shyeheehee! Where'd all that swagger go?

Leona

On your feet, herbivores. We're having a rematch!

How is this any different from being beaten up?

Enough already. Stop this!

Jack	What's goin' on here?

Leona

Huh? We're just having a little fun with some trespassers.

Jack	What's fun about tormenting amateur players?

Ruggie

What's thiiis? Look at you, Jack! Heroically standing up for the downtrodden! How woefully admirable. Shyeheehee!

Jack	I'm just saying this is a disgusting spectacle and I don't wanna have to see it.

Leona

...... Well, thanks. Now you've ruined all our fun.

Savanaclaw Student A

Whoa, Jack. You DO realize who you're talking to, right?

Jack	If you're gonna play the upperclassman card, you oughta act the part.

Savanaclaw Student B

Whaaat did you say to me?! You want a piece of this too?!

Leona

Pretty bold, frosh. I guess I can respect that. All right, I'm bored now. Running up the score against you chumps ain't accomplishin' a thing. Let's go, Ruggie.

Ruggie

Toodles.

Savanaclaw Student C

You lot better think twice about invading our territory again!

Thank you very much.

Is everyone okay?

Cater

Heh. Well, I can't say that was my finest moment on the field.

Deuce

Thanks for the help, Jack.

Jack	Save it. I ain't in the business of charity work.

Ace	I'm drenched in mud over here! Let's just call it a day and go home.

Grim	Yeah, I'm gettin' pretty hungry over here.

Cater

All right, Jack, we're taking off. Don't get in any accidents, you hear?

Jack	You've got a whole lotta nerve to be worrying about me. Now scram already. ......
