Mr.Lodscons Suite Study:

"From the beginning then." Mr.Lodscon looks at me with his hands interlaced together in his lap. "Well as you can see Y/n, I'm quite a rich man."

"Yes that was painfully obvious from the very second I met you Mr.Lodscon." I deadpan.

"Yes indeed I have made quite the life for myself." He says grinning to himself a bit then looks back into my eyes. "A rich man can do many things Y/n."

"Mr.Lodscon can we please get to the point. This beating around the bush is killing me!" I groan.

"Yes yes right, back on track. So, as a rich man there's many things that.." He thinks for a moment before finishing. "Many things that bore me and very few things that interest me."

He sits up a little in his chair before continuing. "One thing that has caught my interest is 'The Game' it is quite an amazing thing." He looks at me with an eerie look in his eyes.

"The game?" I say in a small voice a bit put off from the look he is giving me. "What's that?"

"Well it's an extraordinary thing my dear little Y/n!" He says loudly as he stands up from his chair quickly and slams his hands flat on the table. I jump a bit from the action. 'Why is he acting so weird..' "And I managed to get you qualified for entering it! Isn't that quite an amazing thing." He says as he calms himself a bit and sits back down.

"I ...well I dunno. I don't even know what this game is Mr.Lodscon." I say looking away from him a bit and messing with my hands.

"Well this particular game will give you a chance to make yours and your family's status higher! You will be immediately known as people from a higher class if you win."

"W-wait what?? That's possible??" I say wide eyed as I lean closer towards Mr.Lodscon in bewilderment. "No something that good is..well it's just not possible." I say sitting back a bit.

"Oh but it is dear. It is very much possible. Due to mine and a few of my acquaintances efforts." He says with a prideful smirk. "We have worked very hard for yours and people like you, benefit. We WANT your lives to be better Y/n." He gives me a sweet smile.

"Rea...really?" I say still not believing him 100%."Then what's the catch. Something like that can't possibly be free and I'm not made of money."

"All that you, yourself, need to do is simply participate in a game for us." He says giving me that eerie smile again.

"What kind of game?"

"Well that's for you to find out when you get there dear." He says as he stands from his seat and walks towards me. "Now what do you think? A hard opportunity for you to pass up little one." He walks around his desk toward me.

"Mr.Lodscon I dunno there's way too many unknowns in this for me." I say putting my hand to my chin. "I don't think-"

"Now now, Y/n you don't have to make a choice now. All I ask is that you think on it." He says as he kneels in front of me and putting a hand on my shoulder and smiling at me. "Do think about it dear. Just know that you have already been accepted as a contestant though. So you have to make a decision soon."
