We wanted to do it right now, so this is a short-term challenge. Do your best in the next hour. And yes, the results will be my opinion, unless you have some idea for a subjective way to measure it... I suppose I could check my purse every few moments and award you each any silver I've gotten, but that would be biased in favor of the more monetary objectives.

[heirbrained]

...That's fine with me.

[if I disagree with your opinion then that means it was just your opinion anyway!!]

[rusemaster]

Alrighty, challenge accepted!

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Then, the challenge starts now.

[glances at Togami]

[heirbrained]

[glancing back at Erika... then glancing over at Nio. I NEED TO STRATEGIZE QUICKLY. but as long as I can keep any sort of edge I'll stay in the lead?!]

You like this sort of thing...?

[rusemaster]

[keeping an eye on him, watching what he's doing]

Doesn't everyone enjoy a good game?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Not everyone, but that's certainly a good start.

[heirbrained]

Do you even know any of your own objectives?

[rusemaster]

'Course, I've figured out at least a few of them by now.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Are you still doubting her abilities? The point of this is that you'll get to see them demonstrated, isn't it...?

[heirbrained]

So it's only natural for me to doubt them until they are demonstrated. If her feelings are hurt by someone being skeptical, that sounds like her own problem.

[rusemaster]

Oh, it's fine, it's fine, a dose of skepticism is healthy! Though speaking of skepticism, I'm getting the feeling you're just trying to make me say what mine are~.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

It would be helpful to know them eventually.

[heirbrained]

Of course. Well, there's nothing obligating you to say anything. Though I am curious about what sort of person you are...

[rusemaster]

No guesses?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

He hasn't been given much evidence so far.

[heirbrained]

...Though if I had to guess, I'd say you have a decent amount of life experience that's keeping your mouth shut. I can't say that your life experience necessarily lines up with your objectives, though...

[rusemaster]

Ooh, "life experience"! It sounds all sophisticated when you put it like that!

Hmm~mm, I'd say they're matchin' up pretty closely, actually! I don't mind sharing, though I'd rather go directly to Miss Erika with any info and stuff right now. Just in case.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Whenever you like.

[heirbrained]

Most idiots wouldn't see any reason to keep anything secret... But you already trust Furudo that much?

[rusemaster]

Ah, it's more like I don't trust you while we're competing.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

You could always let her know some of yours as a sign of good will.

[heirbrained]

Small talk is one of mine, actually... Though I doubt it's one of Furudo's.

[rusemaster]

A little more hard-hitting, are they? Or at least more practical?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Substantially more interesting, at least.
