Vendors outside the Coliseum
|
Ooh, ooh! [MC]! Look at all these food stalls! |
| As team manager, I'd rather check out the stage first. | How about we go see the Purple Stage instead? |
|
Booo! Why ya gotta start carin' about bein' a manager NOW, of all times?
They got funnel cakes! Hot dogs! Corn dogs! You name it, they fry it and serve it! |
| Yeah, yeah. | That can wait! |
|
Whoa! It's the same ol' coliseum, but with a big stage set up. |
|
Keep going, keep going... Stop! Okay, Jack, put the pole down right there. |
|
Got it.
Precision control with levitation magic sure isn't easy. |
|
Hey, I told you to put colored labels on the affiliate seats! Get it done. |
|
Ain't that the Savanaclaw crew over there? Heyyy! |
|
Well, if it isn't the Ramshackle cubs. Here to chip in with setup? Shyee hee hee. |
|
I thought you two were managers for Ace and Deuce's group. |
|
They're doin' their last big SDC push now, so they kicked us out before we could get underfoot.
So, did you guys put this whole stage together? |
|
Yeah. The arts clubs had to do all the maintenance and management work during the Spelldrive tournament.
So now we're trading off. The sports clubs get all the grunt work this time around. |
|
The Track Club and Spelldrive Club are in charge of constructing the Purple Stage. |
| I didn't know it was student-built! | Don't you normally hire construction companies for that...? |
|
It's a big event, but the culture fair is still a school function.
Some parts we do leave to professionals, but these things are meant to be put together by students.
You can think of it as...hands-on learning. |
|
Chatting on the clock? You must be quite confident in your progress setting up.
I trust work is proceeding on schedule? |
|
R-Riddle, sir! Hello, sir. |
|
Well, well. A visit from the management committee chairman himself. Surprised you'd deign to roll around in the dirt with us peons. |
|
We know how hard you've been working all morning. Here—have some warm drinks, courtesy of the committee. |
|
Ooh, you couldn't have timed that any better! Doing all this setup outdoors has me freezing from my head to the tip of my tail.
I'll gladly take you up on that offer! |
|
Leona, how goes the construction? |
|
Right on schedule with nothing to report, as you can see.
We'll run through some basic lighting and sound checks, then we'll be standing by for the noon rehearsal. |
|
Excellent.
The Purple Stage will be where the Song & Dance Championship takes place. The whole world will be watching it.
I want a full final check with a thorough eye for detail. The safety of every entrant is paramount. |
|
Yeah, yeah, I hear ya. |
|
For sure! We're gettin' easy marks—uh, I mean, guests from all over the world.
Your committee better keep a close eye on things to make sure there's no trouble. |
|
You're one to speak of trouble. Hmph... |
|
I'm being very careful to make sure no backstage slip-ups cause any other problems. |
|
Glad to hear it. I'm counting on you. That takes care of the last leg of our three-stage tour, right, Riddle? |
|
Yes. All that's left is to check on the exhibit booths and break rooms.
The festival will open to the general public at 11 a.m. I'll have to be on constant lookout for fights and rule violations.
[MC]. Grim. We're going to take a walk around the campus.
If you're curious about the exhibits, you'd be welcome to join us. |
| I'd be happy to. | That sounds like fun! |
|
Then I'll let the rest of you get back to work. |
|
Yessir! [MC], Grim, see you two around.
Epel gave me a ticket to the SDC, so I'll be there today.
Tell him he'd better not embarrass himself in front of me. |
|
Sure. Can do. |
