[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 5745742, member: 12941"] [b]Finishing Day 51 to Evening Day 54[/b] After Ekaym takes his leave, the trio discusses strategy and plans for the next couple days. Fortunately, aside from the routine of shopping and getting supplies, the trio has plenty of time to relax. While making shopping trips, it is apparent that the entire Free City is getting excited for the Champion's Games. The only noteworthy contact is a letter sent to the hotel from Ekaym on the day of the Free Dinner: [i]Doors open at 5:00, and we must be inside by 6:00. I'll meet you just before 5:00 in the lobby of your lodgings. You will need my manager's license to get into the dinner, so we might as well walk there together. Oh, and you'll need to both pick a designated leader of your merry band and have a name for the group. Think of something creative! - Ekaym[/i] As promised, Ekaym shows up ready to escort you. He seems like a bundle of excited and nervous energy. He makes small talk as you make way to the area, asking about your past adventures and showing genuine interest in your endeavors.
