Crowley cleared his throat and clapped his hands a few times, making certain that he had the housewarden's full attentions. "I call to order this meeting of housewardens. Our agenda today concerns the October Spelldrive tournament. Let us begin with the report from the head of the tournament planning committee: Mr. Ashengrotto of Octavinelle house."
The said male stood up and walked towards the headmage's side. "Greetings. I am Azul Ashengrotto, and it is my honor to lead the planning committee." The silver haired man gave a small head bow. "I am pleased to announce that we have fully booked the grounds surrounding the coliseum. All of the kiosk space allotted to both internal organizations and external businesses is now full."
"Sweet! This tournament should be a real lively one, then." A tanned-skin male with turban cheerfully said.
"All invitations to various royalty have been sent, and public tickets are selling briskly. And, as in past years, we have received numerous requests to cover the event from both television stations and print media." Azul informed with a professional smile.
"Sounds like the whole world will be watching. Before I was admitted here. I looked forward to receiving my VIP invitation every year." Kalim beamed brightly as he smile, turning his head towards the direction of a certain nonchalant lion. "I imagine you got them too, Leona?" We might have run into each other at the tournament when we were kids!"
The lion simply raised an unamused brow. "Who knows? And also, who cares?"
"This year, I'll have to work extra hard on my makeup to make sure I'm shining like a diamond on the new Ultravision displays. With all the exertion, I'll need to be touching up constantly!" A blonde with lavender highlights sighed. He used the screen of his phone to repeatedly check and fix his appearance.
Riddle sighed. "...House Pomefiore is the only dorm that regularly calls timeouts to fix their makeup."
"How can you all be so excited to be on TV? Just the idea of it makes me wanna puke." The voice from the floating tablet grumbled under his breath.
Azul coughed into his fist, regaining everyone's attention and going back on topic. "As I was saying." Receiving an apologetic smile from the upbeat housewarden, he continued. "Now, as soon as your dorms' player rosters are settled, I'll need your registration documents. Any dorm that is even a single day late-"
"Will be promptly disqualified, I trust." Riddle cut him off with a stern expression.
Azul shook his head, remaining composed. "No. They will be charged a handling fee. Consider it remuneration for rush processing."
Riddle's eyes widened before he furrowed his brows. "What!? I don't approve of you changing the rules to allow for policy exceptions!"
On the contrary, Kalim laughed lightheartedly "And I couldn't be more grateful for it! Ha ha ha!"
