Noire quickly turns around and comes face to face with her fellow dojo girl and new rival Scarlet.
>You again?!
>An' ya got the chutzpah ta come here dressed as a wizard too!
>Well I sez the Kingdom's only big enough for one wizard
>C'mon, we ain't gotta wait til the LARPin' starts! We can settle this right here!
From out of the crowd a familiar face, or rather a familiar bald head appears, "AN OFFICIAL CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ISSUED!"
>Say, I know you. Yer that ref wot never gets used no more. Three-Count Man or somethin', innit?
"In Spaghetti Town perhaps, but here in the Kingdom I am the illustrious Count Threemen, arbiter of all duels. At least for the duration of the festival. And you, Noire the Brown, have boldy, and rather foolishly, issued an official challenge to the beautiful and talented Scarlet, the red wizard".
>Noire the Brown? But I'm a black wizard. It's right there in the name!
"Then perhaps you ought to make more of an effort to wear black. TO THE DUELING GROUNDS!". A mighty cheer goes up from the audience as Noire and Scarlet make their way to the center of the festival.
