For a moment you thought about not doing your 100% for this sand castle building out of some ill-placed guilt. But it doesn’t matter how cocky your partners act, it’s all for the fun and games… You think. Besides, you have a kingdom to take care of and expand! These bad thoughts are all gone. You shall build the most majestic castle this beach has ever seen! With Chio and Matilda by your side, it’ll be easy.
…Easy in the sense that you can accomplish it! Building it is another different story. It’s tough work and you weren’t expecting any less. As an artist, Chio’s ideas are abstract, but that doesn’t mean she’s unable to explain them to a simpleton like you, in fact, you can tell that she’s used to dumbing these plans down – she’s out of practice though, her art program must’ve surrounded her with people who think alike, so she’s not conveying all her ideas perfectly. That’s where Matilda’s expertise comes in handy, she’s able to turn Chio’s ideas from the abstract to reality. This shows how much Matilda has worked along with different kinds of people, and how competent as a team member she is. No matter how much you train by yourself, this can only be learned through experience. That doesn’t mean you’re not cooperating, you’re holding your ground, and helping speed everything up. No matter how meticulous this work is, it’s just a Sand Castle. It did require your entire attention, so maybe you’re throwing the wrong signals here.
You know what was the only idea of yours that Sugar and Chio agreed to go with? Its size. Your castle is humongous. Beautiful in every detail. Words fail to describe how beautiful this sand building is. You love it. The girls are proud of it. There’s no way you can lose the challenge… Your only complaint is that you wish it had the dungeon you proposed. You swear it wasn’t a stupid idea.
It wasn’t until you were done that you could watch your opponents’ building. And you know what? They don’t disappoint. You’re not trying to be condescending, it’s the actual truth. They did an impeccable job, but it’s the tiny details where it doesn’t measure up with yours. Also, you find it funny that they felt obliged to match yours in size. Two humongous castles, right in front of each other. If there were more people on the beach – you think a crowd would be in awe.
Now the issue is, that they did such a great job, you could argue that they deserve to win. Not that you feel like they should. But for the verdict to go their way you’d need a fancy pansy art critic that puts ‘the idea’ over everything else, even if the detailed craftsmanship is way superior than the other. You’re rambling. It’s not like it matters, the Tomato Coalition + Oliver begrudgingly accept defeat.
