THIRTY-FOUR : The world passes by
Six months. Honestly... What kind of idiocy...
[This is filtered from drones. There's a pause here as Olivier clears her throat; yes, she is so pissed off that she is thinking out loud for a moment.]
Before any of you assholes say "I told you so", I'm well aware of what I said when I started, and that I'm facing a more formidable enemy than I originally realized.
I have a proposal. A contest. A tournament, actually. This is the time of year we would have been preparing for war games in Amestris, and I would have been beating the hell out of the Central forces just a few weeks from now. If you'll indulge me, so to speak, I'll repeat it here.
I'm proposing, then, a martial tournament. I'll strictly have physical fighters, unless enough of you are supernaturally inclined and wish to participate; non-human and human alike are allowed. No deaths--it'll hold up the tournament, single round per matchup, bracket-style elimination.
Come to 1767 Beaver Street and sign up, if you're interested. The tournament will be in two weeks' time.
Oh, right. I suppose you all need a reward if you're going to do anything useful. The prizes: A motorcycle, a date with me, or a private combat lesson with any participant you choose.
And I'll need a few volunteer judges.
Hn. That's all. Will you rise to the challenge, or remain as complacent as ever?
