In hindsight, Morgan realised how idiotic of himself to just join this tournament. He groaned as he walked into a coffee shop and sat down. Moony followed to sit down opposite to him. Morgan’s other Regalia, another male who had so far refused to give his name, wasn’t with them. He just seemed so energetic and rebellious compared to himself and Moony. It was exhausting. Thankfully he stalked off when Morgan said he wanted to go get coffee.

Morgan blinked away from his thoughts to sigh again. He had decided he wanted to try and track down someone involved with this whole... event. Ask them questions. He just felt he needed some. He looked up at Moony with a groan. “How are we gonna just find someone organising or running this tournament?” He almost muttered this, but it wouldn’t be difficult for someone walking close to hear. In fact it would be comedically convenient if after he said this, such person appeared.

Up until that point, there hadn't been much Lucianne had done involving the tournament. She had volunteered her time the same as everybody else but besides being filled in on what it meant to actually be a proctor, nothing else had really been up her alley. So far, she had spent the entirety of the tournament simply hanging around the coffee shop that she worked at, just the same as always. So it was a bit of a surprise to hear somebody come in and start muttering about the very tournament that she was anxiously keeping track of.

"Oh! Are you part of the tournament, too?" she asked the person, beaming. "How are you liking it so far?"

Morgan looked at a girl who was by the their table. He thought she might’ve been someone who worked there so he wasn’t expecting her to suddenly ask about the tournament. Frankly he had a stunned look as he stared at her. His first thought was that she was a participant, since she said about being part of tr tournament too. Morgan wasn’t entirely sure if someone running the event would say that. But there was also the fact that there seemed to be no Regalia around. He’d noticed that most participants would have a Regalia close by.

He blinked as he tried to think out his words. Eventually he got a sentence out in his head. “Umm... why?” Morgan is smart, not social. “Are you a participant as well, or...” He left that question trail for if Lucianne wanted to interject. He decided he’d answer Lucianne’s own question. “I mean, yeah it’s alright. I haven’t really been challenging anyone and I still want to ask questions about this whole... tournament.” He shrugged. He had questions about the Regalia, bonding, challenges, prizes... strings attached... He just felt he should be careful taking the equivalent of candy from a stranger.

"Oh no, I'm a proctor, actually," Lucianne said, quickly checking to make sure she had no customers in line. It was about the time when people started to trickle down to a stop so she had a bit of time to chat. "Can't say I've been doing much work about that though," she said with a slight laugh. "All I've really done is stand around and wait for people to ask me questions that never happened. I think you're the first contestant I've actually spoken to all this time." She looked him up and down kindly, smiling.

Morgan blinked as he processed for a moment. A proctor? His next question kind of reflected his vague confusion. "Soooo you invigilate the tournament? Kinda like exams?" He blinked again as he shook his head. He did kinda get what Lucianne meant. She was someone running this whole event.

He glanced at Moony who gave a nod before he looked back at Lucianne. "Well, I've got some question. Firstly... why? Why is this tournament a thing? It seems to me that doing challenges aren't even compulsory, and you're giving basically anyone access to a bunch of different abilities." He gave a slight apologetic look to Moony at that. Ever since he pacted with Moony, he disliked saying about the whole 'giving away abilities' thing because they came with people. Of course, Morgan absolutely enjoyed Moony's company and wanted to stay around him for that company rather than his ability.

"Ah, yeah, I'm just keeping watch over things," she said, somewhat sheepishly. "People are being surprisingly civil about the competition, though, so there hasn't been much need for me to step in at all."

Lucianne listened to the question, pondering how she should answer. Eventually, she leaned forward a bit and told him, "It's not that well known but Cornelius is actually a prince. I've heard that depending on how this tournament goes, he'll take the throne soon after. He's trying to see how well people get along with strangers, apparently. The abilities are basically payment for him being able to study how people work."

Morgan thought for a while, but it didn’t take him long to think of what to say next. “Abilities are pretty high for compensation.” He sighed as he tapped a finger against the table in front of him. “A prince, huh...” He muttered to himself.

He kinda hated the next question he wanted to ask. But his curiosity drove him. He knew how he met his first Regalia, by being pacted after meeting Cornelius. But he just kind of... found his second Regalia. It was pretty random. “...How do you find more Regalia? So far it’s been pretty random, I feel. How would I... go about just meeting one?” He glanced at Moony again, then back to Lucianne.

Morgan thought for a while. Figured he’d give it at least a shot. “So, can I ask you for Regalia??” He sounded beyond uncertain. This was definitely the kind of thin he just said to see what would happen, but the uncertain tone in his voice just gave that he wasn’t confident at all this would work.

He tapped his fingers against the table. In the meantime, he would just think of more questions. He needed some more. “So... there’s no strings attached to this whole thing? It’s just for free?” He nudged his glasses up his nose a bit. He wished he decided to use his goggles rather than his glasses. It would have probably made some stuff a lot easier. But here he was.
