ZEHAHAHA!!
"Step right up, step right up! Ice cream eating contest here. Free to enter, with big prizes!"

Lucid was all cheer and smiles as she waved a large ice cream scoop about. Business had been fine, but now it was time to go boost the stand's popularity with gimmicks! And this was her first idea. An ice cream eating contest, with the grand prize being a year's worth of free ice cream. Sure, 2nd place and 3rd place also had good stuff, but the thrill of being #1 would surely convince the competitors to try their hardest!

"Eat, eat as fast as you can! Ten minutes to finish as many bowls as your stomachs can handle~"

The table had been set, and there were a few onlookers already taking interest in the little contest. Who would try and test their luck before the cruel gods of desserts?

"Well... that certainly was an interesting first day."

Lucian groaned, rubbing his back. First day on campus? Mad dash to the homeroom, smashing into the door back first and nearly missing the bell by a few seconds, all the while dragging a screaming girl who had attempted to drag him to the class which was up a flight of stairs. While eating away nearly all of his stamina channeling more Hamon than he really should have been.

Yeah. Eventful first day.

He needed something to relax a bit. The entire school was insane! He knew his father had told him that things would be... strange here, but he hadn't quite imagined to this extent! A simple dash to his homeroom turned into something far, far more dramatic. And insane.

Dear lord he needed something norma- Ice cream!

A split second was all it took.

I'm game for that.

Sitting down and slamming a fist on the table, Lucian looked up at the girl running the stand.

"Challenge accepted!"

Of course, whether she understood him depended on whether she knew English or not.

As a rice girl money wasn't something that came easily to her. Hard work, long, grueling hours in the fields planing seeds, picking radishes. This was how one earned a living as a rice girl. This meant being good with money was an essential part of getting by day-to-day. Unfortunately, that strange rich girl had tapped out most of her savings in a single meal... the dangers of city living were becoming quite apparent to her.

Jun was going to need help to get through the next month until she could find steady work. Of course, blowing off steam sitting around in the park wasn't going to help anything...

Or uh, maybe it would.

"Free ice cream...?"

Free ice cream.

"For a year?!"

For a year!

A blessing from heaven! Eating nothing but ice cream for months on end probably wouldn't be healthy, but with her metabolism it's not like she'd get fat anyhow. Either way, there was no mortal on Earth that could out-eat her. It was basically her only ability...if you can call it an ability. More of a curse, actually. Jun descended upon the stand in a flash, slamming her hands on the counter with an expression of pure determination. "Is this for real?! sign me up!" Her luck looked like it was finally going to change!

"Whoooa, two contestants. Is there really nobody else willing to step up?" Lucid asked the crowd. Almost as if on cue, John poked his head out and smiled.

"Oh, my. Such delightful competition. I would much rather prefer to eat the-"

The white haired fool cut the jelly swordsman off.

"ANNND THAT'S THR- FOUR~!" She cheered, immediately revising her statement when a random lady from the crowd joined. Oh, boy. This was certainly an auspicious number, said nobody ever. Except Lucid, of course.

"While I'm setting things up, go ahead and introduce yourselves." She tossed the microphone she apparently forgot to use to Lucian, giggling as she did. "<By the way, I'm surprise you're speaking in English. You might want to break out the phrasebook for pre and post contest bragging>!"

Immediately switching from Japanese to English to address the boy, she winked with an amused smile before going back to taking the prepared bowls out.

"Did someone just say... an ice-cream eating challenge?" A sudden breeze would sweep across the area as Lavender descended from the skies, an ethereal-looking violet-colored vortex surrounding the aeromancer lowered herself in front of Lucid and the others, her wind aura dying down as her booted feet touched the ground, before brushing her bangs back into place with the back of her hand and straightening out the lapels of her jacket and smoothing out the creases on her skirt.

"Make that five in that case, because I'm joining the fray," Lavender remarked, sounding strangely serious as she stepped forward. But if what Lucid said was true about the winner getting a year's supply of ice-cream, then there was no way the aeromancer couldn't be serious about this - she was going to have to give it her 110% for this one!

"Whoa free Ice Cream!? Sounds like my kinda competition!"

Kaito had just been passing by after roaming around for a bit since it was a bit boring staying in his room all day. He was wearing a white T-shirt and a short sleeved shirt over it and some khaki shorts.

"You can count me in too! I mean whats better than ice cream on a hot day?"

Kaito really wanted to win that years worth of free ice cream! He couldnt lose to everyone else! He was gonna do everything he could to win!...Even sabotage the others!

Lucian's eyebrow twitched. This school. . . Just. . . This school. . .

At first, another person had shown up, a girl, and she'd seemed fairly normal at least. Then another guy and a girl showed up, also normal. Lucian, again, needed to remind himself that Japanese people did learn English at some point in their schooling, but the level of comprehension and literacy and the like varied.

Of course, this all was forgoten when someone literally dropped out of the sky. On wind.

. . .

This school was going to drive him to insanity one day. Or to drink. Or both.

One last person showed up, bringing the entire total up to six people. Seemed like a decent enough challenge, though he wasn't really expecting to win by this point. Free ice cream though. He could mentally laugh at everyone else, assuming they got ice cream headaches. It was a small, petty thought, but it bolstered his resolve, somewhat. The white haired girl running the contest still creeped him out a little, but ah well. Sighing a bit, Lucian decided to introduce himself. Because no one else seemed to be doing it.

"<Lucian Regal, from England. Greetings. You all?>"

He probably sounded weird, but bah. It wasn't really important at this point.

"...More people than I was expecting." Jun murmured to herself. They came out of the woodwork quite suddenly, each heading the call to battle, each one an ice-cream warrior. Competition would be stiff, but no ordinary Japanese or foreigner could eat like a farmer's kid. Especially one capable of shoveling food into her mouth at the kind of speeds she could. And what was with this introduction stuff? This wasn't a competition for a festival, it seemed a little hokey, but she supposed there was no getting out of it either...

The first guy to introduce himself was one of the foreigners, English, or so she thought. English was never her best subject in school. Hyakuji seemed to be a pretty foreigner heavy place, something Jun had never really seen before. Nara had its tourist-y places where you might see some foreigners here and there, but it was different being constantly among them like this. Jun took the microphone next, feeling the pressure now that the sum total of the competitors had assembled.

Each one was more mysterious than the previous. "Daiko Jun, Nara prefecture. I-I hope everyone does well today." She said rather plainly. They hadn't really been prompted on what to say and she hoped that was enough. It was kind of silly sounding, but at least since she already looked like a kid it wouldn't come off as too weird...

Either way, she was here to win!

Introductions? Now Lavender wasn't expecting that, as the white-haired girl who was hosting this competition encouraged the participants to get to know one another as she was getting everything set up. Of course there was no harm in that, and the aeromancer momentarily dropped her "game face" to introduce herself, smiling and bowing to the gathered contestants.

"Name's Lavender Smith. Anyone who takes survival studies at Hyakuji High or attending my homeroom will know who I am," the aeromancer introduced herself. "I hail from Nova Oasis, an autonomous enclave under the administration of the OASIS Foundation, located on an island in the Agean Sea, off the coast of Greece. Don't bother looking it up on Google Maps though, it exists on another Earth in another universe," Lavender explained - she was telling the truth about her place of origin, though since only a rare handful of those who'd fought alongside her in the multiversal incident knew of her secret, and chances are, she figured those who don't know this fact would probably think she was joking.

"Just kidding; I come from Edinburgh, Scotland," Lavender continued - which was technically the place of her birth before she resided in Nova Oasis. "Glad to know that I am facing some worthy opponents for this contest - may the best man or woman win!" Lavender smiled as she gave her opponents a nod, while turning over to Kaito to flash a wink at the aquamancer.

Wait now they were doing introductions?...Well...He didnt want to come off as rude or anything. Besides, it would be appropriate to know the name of the winner of this ice cream eating contest!~

"My names Kaito Kyoshi for those who dont know me. Second year at Hyakuji High and a member of the Elemancer Club." Kaito bowed slightly. "Have to say Lavender-sensei, Didnt think you would participate in these kinda things. But since you are I guess I cant be holding back." said the aquamancer with a gleam in his eyes!

Kaito was getting excited now! It feels like the time he sparred with her. Though the last time he was knocked on the floor with the wind knocked out of him.....HA! Aeromancer pun

"And I am J-" Poor John got the microphone snatched from his hands by the 4th contestant, who simply did some beatboxing until Lucid took the microphone back from her. The fool tapped it twice and then cleared her throat.

"Six brave contestants, who wish to brave this icy brainfreeze hell in order to win the grand prize of on-demand ice cream delivery for the next year! I'd run an ad, but I accidentally broke the TV. So I'll just say that this contest is sanctioned by Il Diluvio Enterprises! No catch phrase here, you're here to watch these people eat their hearts out."

Lucid set up the bowls and complimentary raincoats to prevent staining from messy eating. She waited until everybody was seated before she began. With a big grin, she raised up her hand.

"Are you all ready? Get emotionally prepared for this one, because we don't want any near death experiences here!"

[[OOC: MINE INTERNET, TRULY, IT IS DERP INCARNATE! Also Short-post, so we can get to the creamy goodness.]]

One to get ready, to for the show, three to breath steady, and four to...!

Lucian was Breathing, channeling a small amount of Hamon through his body. If this was the competition, he was gonna need all the help he could get. He might even need to resort to his sole Overdrive. Maybe. This was just an ice-cream eating contest after all. It wasn't like it was some part of an evil plot, and the stand was really a subspace bomb or something.

...

Right?

"Guess you didn't know about my sweet tooth huh?" Lavender gazed shiftily around as Kaito made his remark. "Though granted, it's not like that's something I want the whole world to know," the aeromancer giggled sheepishly, patting her own head.

"You don't know brainfreeze hell... until you've participated in war game exercises in Finland in late December, keeping snow in your mouth to hide your breath as you lie belly-down in the snowdrifts," Lavender chuckled as Lucid spoke about how the participants of this ice-cream eating contest were willing to brave "brainfreeze hell". The aeromancer nodded as Lucid handed out raincoats for the participants - with everyone trying to wolf down their frozen treats as quickly as they can, there was little doubt that things were gonna get messy to say the least. "Never before have the stakes been higher..." the aeromancer remarked in a somber tone as she put on her raincoat, making sure that as much of her clothing as possible was covered before sitting down and getting ready for the incoming ice-cream.

Jun didn't say a word. The competition would speak for itself, after all. At the end of the day only the words of the winner were important. And win she would. The others might have experience, they might even have helpful abilities but this was a game of time. First one to finish would be the fastest and Jun was the fastest.

She took a seat beside the purple-haired girl and stared intently across the park. Taking a deep breath she craned her neck one way which responded with a thick and intimidating CRACK. Then the other way, CRACK. This was the big one, the show, where men would be separated from boys. But the rice girl would always be the rice girl.

Jun closed her eyes, concentrating her qi into her fingers and mouth, the two parts she'd be using most for speed-eating. As her magic took hold her whole body suddenly began to vibrate as she opened her eyes and stared intensely at the bowl before her.

Oh yes, she was ready.

"No. I know about it. Its not that much of a secret. Ive heard about it from like...10 other people?...Still, I dont think the world would care if you have sweet tooth." said Kaito laughing.

"You dont know brainfreeze hell until youve accidentally frozen yourself in a river.....Dont ask how just trust me.
" Kaito let out a long sigh. What did he do!?

After all the introductions and talking was done, Kaito took his seat next to Jun. Things were heating up! He could feel the excitement in the air! Everyone was gonna give it their all. "I can't lose here! Theres too much at stake." said Kaito under his breath. He put on his raincoat and making sure he didnt leave anything uncovered since things were gonna get messy.
