Mount Moln Kelkkarotu
Pomefiore Dorm
Epel	Right side, all clear. Left side, also clear.
Epel Epel	No one should be here right now, at least. Here I go…! AAARRRRGGHHH!! 'E DRIVES ME UP THE FRIGGIN' WALL!
Epel Epel	...Phew. That's a little steam blown off, at least. I accidentally let slip a bit of my local dialect when talking to Vil in the hallway and next thing I know, he's jumping right down my throat. But, y'know! I lived in Harveston my whole life. Of course I'm gonna slip into it here and there! He keeps warning me over and over again! I'm so darn sick of it! "Don't speak with an accent," he says. "Speak with elegant diction," or whatever. "Don't yell like that"... Just shut up already! Anyway, I really do need to make sure I watch my language around Vil... It's a total pain, though. Sigh... I wanna go back to Harveston... But it's still a long way to go until our next school break...
Brrr…
Epel Epel	Huh, a call? This number is…Nannan back at home?!
Beep!
Epel Epel	'ello, Nannan. It's been a bit, 'asn't it? Ye don't often gi' us a wee phone like this. S'demarra? Huh… HUUUUUHHHH???!!
Cafeteria
Epel Epel	Sigh… That phone call just now really put me in a pickle… I'm happy that I can go back to Harveston, really, I am! But... Tomorrow's way too short notice! Nannan…you're being ridiculous here… What's worse, she even said that I absolutely need to bring my schoolmates with me... What do I do?
Epel Epel	I got so distracted thinking about all of this that I've reached the cafeteria way later than usual. The place is so full already. I hope there's a free table somewhere... Ah! That's Yuu and Grim over there!
Grim Grim	Chomp chomp chomp…
Epel Epel	Hello there, you two! Is this seat available?
Choice 1: Yeah, go ahead.		Choice 2: He can have this seat, right, Grim?
Epel Epel Grim Grim	Thanks. I was struggling to find somewhere to sit, so this is a godsend.It's free, so you can just take it if you wanna.
Grim Grim	In exchange, lemme eat your lunch!
Epel Epel	What?! No way!
Grim Grim	Crunch munch crunch… There's no way this pathetic amount of food can keep me full, yanno… Hey, Epel, don't you have any apples with you today?
Epel Epel	I don't, actually. It's not as if I'm always carrying some with me...I guess. I'm from Harveston, so I sometimes end up getting a lot of apples sent to me from home. I just give out the ones I can't finish.
Grim Grim	Dang it…! Those apples were so delish, yanno. I wish I could eat them again...
Epel Epel	…Ah!! H-Hey, Grim! In that case, why don't you tag along with me when I go home? Then, you can stuff yourself with the best of the best of apples there.
Grim Grim	For real?! Let's go then!
Epel Epel	We'd sorta be, uh...going tomorrow, though...
Grim Grim	Tomorrow?!
Choice 1: Quite the sudden invite, indeed.		Choice 2: Even though we're not on break yet?
Epel Epel Epel Epel	You're telling me. I only found out about it just this morning myself! Sigh... Grandma really can be unreasonable sometimes.Yeah. I'll pretty much only get to go back for the weekend and then have to come back here straight after. This homecoming's got no time to waste for leisure.
Epel Epel	Harveston's actually got a yearly festival happening this weekend, so my family asked me to come home to attend it.
Grim Grim	I mean, I don't mind even if we gotta go tomorrow. As long as it means I can eat all the apples I can get my paws on!
Epel Epel	Don't you worry, I'll let you eat tons of them! A-And also… Will you race in the Mount Moln Kelkkarotu with me, Grim?
Grim Grim	The Mol-whatty-what now?
Epel Epel	Mount Moln is this super duper huge mountain that can be seen from Harveston. Kelkkarotu means "sled race". In other words, Mount Moln Kelkkarotu is a sledding tournament held in Harveston!
Grim Grim	Hmmm? Sled racing?
Epel Epel	Contestants form teams of four and compete to be the fastest to reach the finish line… So my grandma asked me to bring my friends from school with me. "Ye did manage t' make some pals at NRC, reet?" "Tek some young lads oam, will tha? Then yous can go take part and make t' race proper lively." ...Was what she said. But since it was all so sudden, I've been stumped over who I could ask to join. Please, I'm begging you!
Grim Grim	Fnagh... That explanation was so complicated I have no idea what you're talking about, but... It's a pain, so I don't wanna! I'm coming along to eat the apples, but I'm not gonna join that race.
Epel Epel	N-No good, huh? Well, even if Grim doesn't participate, having him over would at least still make things more lively...I guess?
