Moon viewing

With Raymond's speech concluded, partygoers were allowed to mingle and enjoy the food.

"Yo! Look at the moon!" Iori grinned as she pointed up at the moon in the sky.

"It's shining across the surface of the lake. And it's making me think of a great bet," Carol grinned.

"Extra challenge for the tournament? Down. But what if we have a little fun tonight?"

"Dunk in the lake?"

"Yup, something like that."

Calling everyone's attention, Iori directed everyone towards the shore bordering the lake.

"Iori-chan, why are you calling for a bet now before the tournament?" Mimoko grumbled.

"Maybe it's to sus out the competition, or maybe I just want some content."

"Correction, WE want some content," Harumi smirked as she and the other members of the Ewetube Stream Team joined Iori. "How about for this, the theme will be those won't be playing against each other in the tournament, face off."

"Loser gets dunked in the lake!" Iori added.

Unfortunately, reception was a bit chilly.

"Yeah, not gonna risk falling for something like this. I'm going to bed," Esma grumbled as she snagged some drumsticks on the way out.

The rest of her team filed out after her, with team Alaskan Wilderness Tours also heading out.

"No Oki-kun or Morphy. Oof, but I think we're playing them first tomorrow," Iori sighed.

"Hmm, I'm willing to take you up on the offer, but I'll refuse to have anyone from my team play anyone from yours," Pnina smirked.

"Fine with me, assuming any other team wants to stay, though I should mention this is more an individual thing," Harumi noted.
