A night in Giro's cafe always seems busier than it should be, the concept of a night time cafe seems backwards but with half the residents working night jobs it only seems right; the night before the first round of the tournament, Razzmatazz showed up at the Cafe, in just casual clothes, glasses and a cap in an effort not to be noticed he approached Giro at the bar.
"I guess you're not so famous that you'd visit your old home" Giro calmly said.
"Don't remind me, I'd rather not be here but I want answers, why are you and the Slippy Squad in the Tournament?" Razzmatazz kept his normally boastful voice down as he knew that Intrepid Cave Troll was watching his every move.
Giro just cleaned another glass, "not all of us are competing, Ascension Zero turned it down, Jester of Malice has family, Hidden Ace's job frowns on competitions and Jimbo Nix wasn't interested, not enough Halo" Giro still calm with his speech.
"You don't belong in a tournament, a waste of talent like you has no business in a competition like mine" Razzmatazz trying but failing to intimidate Giro.
Giro's demeanour changed. "I'm entering because you doxxed and threatened one of my residents publicly, not to mention you've poked all the pros who were waiting for you to snap"
Razzmatazz scoffed at the idea of being beaten, "let them come, I don't care if it's Firestorm, Speed of Light Suzuka, Blood Raven, Silent Viking or even you Cerulean Wizard, I will get what I want and only I will be recognised as the true King of Games" Razzmatazz finished his drink and left.
"Idiot didn't even realise Popuri was sat metres away from him" Giro just casually dumps the glass in the sink.
Luke walked up to the bar amused by the exchange, "wanker, he never changes, this will be the easiest money I've ever made; I didn't know he used to live at the Shark House" Luke surprised by that reveal.
"When you spend your gaming career always being second place it gets to you the longer it goes on, money seems to be a safety blanket for him. You seem confident of winning Luke" Giro smiles at Luke's comments.
"Got a prediction Wizard?" Luke spoke sarcastically.
"Dawn will probably kill Razzmatazz, as for who will win the tournament, probably Speed of Light Suzuka" Luke surprised by Giro's prediction.
"And here I thought you were supporting the Shark House princess" Luke looking over at Popuri.
"Well, we'll see if Popuri can make an impact"
