    Aina watches as the team spends a few minutes to relax.
    The hotel that the team had been put in was certainly as luxurious as per what her parents paid towards. She was just glad that her name didn't mean she would be waited on hand and foot.
    Ness walks over and sits beside her. "Hey Aina, are you alright?" 
    The question caught her off guard, the ripples of the poolside come back into her ears as she looks up at her. She smiles gently as she responds "yeah. I just have a lot on my mind." She sits up.
    Ness smiles "Well, can I lighten the load?"
    Aina knew where Ness had come from. In Glenpavia, there are two kinds of schools:
    1. The Military schools that the likes of her and Kassakira and Kasper Petrovikan attended. The highest quality education that could be provided, training in obeying and ruling with a strong hand. Many students lead a wealthy life after graduation - whether from old money or new. 
    2. The General schools that the likes of Ness and Tennie the Reporter attended. The education was up to code, but those who switch from general to military say it just lacks the edge that military has. Maybe it was really the lack of investors too. Students like Ness and Tennie are rare - average schools create average citizens. That's what her mother used to say.
    "I think you would laugh. Posh girl stuff." She almost laughs. Ness sighs "Stop dividing us like that. You try and understand my 'poor girl stuff' so let me try and understand yours." She replies frustrated.
    Aina kind of folds up, her shoulder screaming at the ache of the stretch. She hadn't been working out as well as she should had been recently, and it was taking affect. "I know. But you should focus on the game tomorrow. You need to win." 
    Ness huffs, inspecting her back. "And we will do our best to do so. We needed to work on our defense, and it's really improved. And your advice in the lockers will really help. Have you got a knot in your shoulder?"
    Aina nods, and Ness moves to sit behind her on the sunbed. She shuffles so she is for the most part comfortable in such a awkward position, having to lay against the propped up back of the sunbed to actually move her arms. 
    Ness had actually did a course on sports massage therapy a few months prior, and it was paying off. Aina finally replies, pained but relieved "my parents are already disappointed in me. I don't know why I care - I mean… they wanted me to go into Archery, and now it's like I already haven't lived up to their standards by being the coach- ow" she ends her speech with a whine.
    Ness grabs her arm and pulls it back and down "relax your shoulders, you're just building up tension. Carry on." 
    Aina drops her shoulders "so like… if we don't win or get into a decent place, I'll just have disappointed them further. They have said that. I'd be disowned. Money and that won't be a issue but I don't want to lose my family."
    Ness thinks for a moment "Blood is important, but this team you've been working with for the past year… I see it as one big family. My mother has been desperate to meet you for months now, wanting to test her family own recipe of fish soup since I mentioned you went for the sea bass… again." She smiles "Family comes in many forms, and I think we can make sure you have family. The kind that don't see you as a disappointment for going after your dreams." 
    Aina doesn't reply as Ness carries on working her shoulder. Finally she says "Make sure you all get enough sleep tonight. H and J won't make tomorrow easy on us." Her tone serious.
    Ness laughs "I'll pass the message on. You know they call you Neny right?" 
    "What do you mean They? The team?" She turns to look at her, pausing Ness's help.
    "Yeah. It's Neny Aina and Neny Ness. Because we care about them like mothers do." 
    Aina grins, and it reaches her eyes for once. "That's cute. Do you not call me that?"
    Ness shakes her head "I rather not. You are junior to me afterall." She jokes.
    Aina scoffs "by 5 months! We would had been in the same year at school you know!"
    "Yeah, but you would had been a popular girl and I'd just be the rugby dork!" She giggles, in the way that held some honestly in her voice.
    "Oh no, I'd be right beside you as a rugby dork too" Aina scoots round to face her star player, and her captain.
    "What? With a pretty face like that?" It was Ness's turn to scoff "Never. All the boys would be all over you."
    Aine rolls her eyes "I wouldn't had given them any attention." She grumbles, blushing at the compliment.
    They both became painfully aware of how close they were, when they heard a glass smash. They turn to the sound to see a elderly lady laughing over her own perhaps slightly drunken mishap.
    Ness gets up, and Aina glances up at her. "I will give the team a pep talk now.." she looks back at her, nerves peaking at the end of her sentence.
    Aina nods at the suggestion "sounds good. I'll follow in 5." She looks back at the pool "Your mother. I don't mind meeting her when we get home." 
    Ness smiles "I'll let her know."

    Kassakira walks across the park, enjoying the sun in Leo Rugiet. Finally, she stopped in a good spot, and sat on the bench in the sunshine. She sighs. It's been a long week. She watches some kids play in the park. She had worked a lot to get to this moment in her life, but what has she actually got to show for it? 
    A quaint apartment, bodyguards, and people thinking she deserves the most respect ever. She doesn't. She's just a human, just like them. This is why she likes not making a scene, or a grand entrance. After all, she has spent years in the spotlight. Her great grandfather couped the government into military power for years. Her grandfather started the most prestigious military school in the country. Her mother owned one of the top technology companies in the nation. 
    Obviously she had to do something amazing. Her brother now has a bronze medal and is ranked highly in the world for archery. What would he had achieved if it wasn't for her?
    She didn't know. She didn't want to know. 
    Those who dare to think, achieve things never thought would be achievable. But those thoughts are dangerous. Somethings are unachievable for a reason. 
    Her grandfather lived by that kind of advice. 
    Has she done right for her country? Results are still uncertain. She snaps out of her thoughts and gets up. No use wasting time on silly thoughts. She heads back to the hotel.

    The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street: Season 2, Episode 3 - That's Not Gone Well

    [Welcome back to Bauhaus Radio!]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Hello. Uh, is that me?
    Richard Hammond: That's... that was slick.
    [outside the radio room]
    Sakuya Ileva: It's time for another of Jeremy's rubbish travel reports.
    [inside the radio room]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Oh no, look!
    James May: Look at that, look at that!
    Jeremy Clarkson: Somebody, here we go. Somebody in a, it seems to be a 4x4, has jack-knifed while carrying a trailer. Now it's a 4x4, it's a good job it was, that's why he's still alive, lucky he didn't listen to the Fujansk on that one. 2 outer lanes of the motorway have the police out in them because they've been blocked by an idiot in an SUV who's managed to crash into his own trailer. Um and people are moving over far too soon which means the motorway network is not being fully utilized. You paid for it, drive right up to the crash.
    James May: Use it!
    Jeremy Clarkson: Use it, and then get your window down and tell the man exactly what you think of his driving.
    Richard Hammond: Precisely.
    Jeremy Clarkson: Oh no, what we've got here is a travel flash actually. Uh, my thank to Julian Kanzën, uh he tells us that in Leo Rugiet a caravan has come adrift of a car blocking the one lane, the police are in attendance. Police, are you armed? I hope they are, they can take it out and just shoot the drive-
    Richard Hammond: Thank you very much, that's the travel with Jeremy Clarkson.
    Jeremy Clarkson: [wheezing laugh]
    [outside the radio room]
    Dia Mondrushchenko: Even I can see the show is pretty bad.
    Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': And now it's about to get worse.
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Hammond's mistimed a trip to the loo and while he's in there, a song's finished.
    [inside the radio room... and the lavatory]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Hello? Is that...? Is there somebody there? Is anybody there?
    Richard Hammond [whispering]: Hurry up!
    Jeremy Clarkson: Hello?
    Richard Hammond: Come on!
    James May: What?
    Another Jingle: 2, 4, 6, 8, James May! [The JM Radio Jingle]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Oh-.
    Richard Hammond: What?!
    Another Jingle's Female Voice [same time as Male Voice] : ...Jaaammmeeesss Maaaaaaaaay.
    Another Jingle's Male Voice [same time as Female Voice]: ......Jaaammmeeesss Maaaaaay.
    [outside the radio room]
    Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': He's forgotten he's going out live.
    [inside the radio room]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Well he's ginger and he's Cambrian... -kay...
    Richard Hammond: Okay...
    [outside the radio room]
    Siite Fineistje: And now they're upsetting the sports reporter Faust.
    [inside the radio room]
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: 1-1 the latest score between the Beyblade teams of Star Breaker & Slavaria Cossack.
    [Hammond turns on the jingle by accident (The JC Radio Jingle)]
    The Jingle: I've been driving in my car listening to Jeremy Clarkson.
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem [over the jingle]: The final match in will be between the substitutes of each team, Damian's slightly obsessive older sister Lenae and the Genki Girl Stanislava.
    Richard Hammond: Sorry! Sorry, that happens.
    James May: 1-1, is that good? I don't understand.
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: My team has 1 point and they've lost 1 point to Slavaria, sir. It is Beyblade.
    Richard Hammond: He's angry!
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: It's a game that has been played in Hertfordshire and Jammbo for over 300 years.
    Richard Hammond: What, the same game?
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Then you need to get the observers book of Beyblade which will tell you all the regulations you need to know and then you will be okay. And now-
    [Hammond turns on the jingle, on purpose this time, to stop Faust from berating May like that]
    Richard Hammond [faking]: Heh, sorry.
    The Jingle: I've been driving in my car listening to Jeremy Clarkson.
    Jeremy Clarkson: Worse still, my traffic system really isn't working out as planned. The cameras are not able to give enough detail so my reports are becoming... a little vague.
    Richard Hammond: Jeremy, go.
    Jeremy Clarkson: It's all completely hopeless! Everywhere I can see people in hatchbacks, the motorway- Marelitus is jammed up at junction 6, Divando is- don't use it! Don't use it, stay at work, be productive and buy a helicopter.
    James May: It's not particularly helpful what you're telling them there.
    Richard Hammond: No.
    Jeremy Clarkson: I'll therefore decide to personalise my reports.
    Damian Haat [on the radio]: Hello there.
    Richard Hammond: Hello how are you?
    Damian Haat [on the radio]: Um, bit fed up 'cause I can't work out where I'm supposed to be turning off the motorway or not. We're trying to get to the H&J-Blue Bubble match tonight!
    Jeremy Clarkson: Where- where are you? So you're going?
    Damian Haat [on the radio]: I'm going anti-clockwise.
    Jeremy Clarkson: Anti-clockwise? You, my son, have had it.
    Damian Haat [sarcastically, on the radio]: Oh thanks a lot.
    Jeremy Clarkson: Just! I'm screwing it up.
    [outside the radio room]
    Siite Fineistje: With Jeremy's traffic system ruined, they're running out of things to say.
    [inside the radio room]
    James May: If you use a jet wash, should the bonger on each cycle go off at the end of the cycle or in the middle? If the bonger goes off at the end of the foamy brush cycle and you've only done the bonnet, you've had it.
    Jeremy Clarkson: The switchboard's beginning to light up with angry listeners, one of them whom was called Galatea Sahaidachny.
    Richard Hammond: Hello Galatea!
    Galatea Sahaidachny [on the radio]: I came back from seeing Clarkov at 17:00 and what a load of rubbish this is and I think it's absolutely dreadful. I've been a listener to you three for a number of years. For god's sake, bring that old reporter back and all the rest of them. It's all a load of rubbish, thank you and goodnight!
    [outside the radio room]
    Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': What's going on and why are they packing up?
    Dia Mondrushchenko: With the locals ready to lynch them, they've decided to get out early.
    [inside the radio room]
    [It Has To Be This Way [Instrumental] plays]
    Jeremy Clarkson: This is a 2 minute 55 second song. By the time it's over, our shows over, we could be- do you wanna walk through Leo Rugiet after the show we just did?!
    James May: I've got the car round back.
    Richard Hammond: I was thinking about the door.
    [The trio flee the radio room past the other 5]
    Jeremy Clarkson: By the time this is over, we can be...
    James May: The car'll be round the back. Go go, no, just go down there, down the stairs!
    Richard Hammond: Sorry!
    James May: Down to the left.
    Jeremy Clarkson: Down to here.
    James May: Yeah.
    Richard Hammond: Run!
    Jeremy Clarkson: I'm going!
    Richard Hammond: Sorry.
    [The trio flee the radio station entirely]
    [The song finishes]
     
    We are not surprised it turned out this way, but would we have it any other way? No. Not at all.
    This has been Bauhaus Radio with Conversation Street, time for us to replace the 'Radio' with 'Novel' once more.

    Tennie walks into the bar after the last cricket interview. It was with the coach and manager - not fun at all for her. It's not that she doesn't like cricket,  it's just not her chosen sport of preference. 
    She sat down at the counter and ordered. A Martini as normal. Suddenly the seat beside her was no longer vacant. 
    Bernard smiles "Hey my number 1 interviewer!" 
    She turns and looks at him "Oh, Hi my number 1 captain!" She gives him a polite smile back. 
    He orders a IPA and hands the bartender his card when they come over with her drink. "So, I watched your interview tonight, you did great. You were nervous before our interview but it never shows up on camera. It's amazing"
    Tennie giggles "Thank you. I think it helps that you fit the camera well." 
    Bernard grins "I think you would too, if you were not doing the news meeting interviews. Like if you were actually on screen. Doing the interview." 
    "You're just full of compliments tonight." She glances away, taking a sip of her drink. 
    "Its just because I'm in beautiful company" He takes the drink from the bartender. 
    Now
    She checks her messages, reading a reply from Bernard 
    "Babe, make sure you relax too. Have a martini and not chat up the next cute captain x" 
    She rolls her eyes as the team sits down for their interview, and puts her phone away.
    The cameras start rolling and she sits up. "Thank you for your time, congratulations on your win! How are you feeling?"
    Ness smiles "amazing, the whole team is buzzing and our hard work has paid off. I am proud of us and I think the only way is up!" 
    Tennie smiles "I agree, and how about our game tomorrow against Hertfordshire and Jammbo?"
    Ness looks at her other team players "Yeah, we have been training hard. We both have one win and one loss so it's important for us to win. And I have my confidence in my team to push and work hard to get the points we need to win." 
    Tennie grins "Beautifully said." She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
    "wait wait I've been busy... A WOMAN IS THE CAPTAIN?!?!?!? Ignore my last message fml"

    He orders a IPA and hands the bartender his card when they come over with her drink. "So, I watched your interview tonight, you did great. You were nervous before our interview but it never shows up on camera. It's amazing"
    Tennie giggles "Thank you. I think it helps that you fit the camera well." 
    Bernard grins "I think you would too, if you were not doing the news meeting interviews. Like if you were actually on screen. Doing the interview." 
    "You're just full of compliments tonight." She glances away, taking a sip of her drink. 
    "Its just because I'm in beautiful company" He takes the drink from the bartender. 
    Now
    She checks her messages, reading a reply from Bernard 
    "Babe, make sure you relax too. Have a martini and not chat up the next cute captain x" 
    She rolls her eyes as the team sits down for their interview, and puts her phone away.
    The cameras start rolling and she sits up. "Thank you for your time, congratulations on your win! How are you feeling?"
    Ness smiles "amazing, the whole team is buzzing and our hard work has paid off. I am proud of us and I think the only way is up!" 
    Tennie smiles "I agree, and how about our game tomorrow against Hertfordshire and Jammbo?"
    Ness looks at her other team players "Yeah, we have been training hard. We both have one win and one loss so it's important for us to win. And I have my confidence in my team to push and work hard to get the points we need to win." 
    Tennie grins "Beautifully said." She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
    "wait wait I've been busy... A WOMAN IS THE CAPTAIN?!?!?!? Ignore my last message fml"

    Principality Stadium in the background with Hillborough Castle in the forground
    Principality Stadium was constructed two years ago as the official home of the Saint Mark Royal Lions. Funds and the site were donated by Lady Arlene Reston, Dowager Countess of Hillborough and aunt to Paul Reston, the Number Eight for the Lions. She is said to have wanted the arena close enough that she could watch her favorite nephew and his friends as they played. It is a fairly small stadium, with a capacity of 19,000. The artwork decorating the exterior walls was the inspiration of artist Manuel Porjiere and carried out by the students of the Academiae Debiles Artifices.

    RWC3 Commentary: Match Day 3, Post-Match
    Presented by SDCSN3 sports intern Approctoflecticus Blubberman and SDCSN Assistant Editor-in-Chief for Ethics & Standards Hector Lafontaine
    [OOC Disclaimer: The following RP is presented as a script. Imagine as if these characters said and did these things on live television, which is then compiled into a clip and put on the SDCSN Sports website.]
    BLUBBERMAN: Ugh, why must I do such menial, mundane things like grabbing coffee for people?
    LAFONTAINE: Stop complaining, Intern Blubberman. Since corporate made the decision to demote you from head sports correspondent to intern, you've been extra noisy. This is a warning to you. You can't keep offending people and making us lose viewers from other countries! Anyways, go host the broadcast. Yes, you still have to do that.
    BLUBBERMAN: Fine... (Turns to camera.) Hello, everyone! From Spirit Park in Divanadado Gadoataleseevee, Zoran, we at Santo-Dominian Cable-Satellite Network Channel 3 bring you live coverage of the 3rd Rugby World Cup!
    LAFONTAINE: It's "Divando Gadoatalesv". You pronounced it flawlessly in previous broadcasts. Did you screw up just out of intentional spite?
    BLUBBERMAN: Ugh, shush! (Turns to camera once more.) Anyways, our RWC3 coverage is brought to you by our generous sponsor today, S. Hyster & F. Raud LLP! Employment lawyers Simon Hyster and Fergus Raud are ready to help you start living the good life off of your boss' money. Call them at +2-38-LAW-OUCH today! I, Approctoflecticus Blubberman, shall be your host for the entire duration of the 3rd Rugby World Cup. Accompanying me is Mr Hector Lafontaine, Assistant Editor-in-Chief for Ethics & Standards for SDCSN3's online news section. Mr Lafontaine is my direct superior, so please give him a warm welcome!
    LAFONTAINE: You're not going to get your old job back with that insincere bootlicking. You forget that I'm the assistant editor responsible for ethics and standards.
    BLUBBERMAN: Damn it! Anyways, let's get straight to talking about today's RWC3 news. Match Day 3 has concluded and the official results are out! In Group A, our beloved Team S-D defeated the team from Denieria in a 17-13 victory. Us Santo-Dominians have once again showed people who's boss! This loss, the third one in a row for Denieria, means that they will no longer able to compete. They are eliminated from contention! In the other Group A match, the top team from Zoran trounced Teralyon in a 27-15 victory that illustrates just how strong the RWC2 champions still are, even after all this time. Wow, looks like the Zoranians-
    LAFONTAINE (mutters): No outrageously offensive comments up till now? Hmm, he might still have some hope...
    BLUBBERMAN: -are on the warpath, treating their rugby opponents like they did to their fellow Zoranians in their civil war! They must be channeling their destructive tendenc-
    LAFONTAINE: ...I was wrong! Damn it, Blubberman! Why are you so obsessed with that war? Can you focus on anything positive at all?
    BLUBBERMAN: Hey, you told me to talk about Zoranian history! Anyways, onto Group B. Dalimbar has continued its explosive streak by sending Dilber flying in a 23-5 wipeout! Dalimbar's enemies are blasting off again at the speed of light! And in the other Group B match, Nieubasria swamped Einherfell in a 31-16 match, winning a spectacular victory with nearby double the score of their adversary. Einherfell's loss has eliminated them from contention, leaving Team Dilber at the very bottom and Dalimbar and Nieubasria on the rise in Group B.
    LAFONTAINE raises an eyebrow at BLUBBERMAN's reference.
    BLUBBERMAN: In Group C, Larxia canned Hertfordia in a 17-3 landslide mirroring the overwhelming loss the Hertfordians themselves dished out to Giovanniland previously. Karma really does come back to bite you in the rear! And finally, Blue Bubble edged out a win against Hanita Grasce, defeating them 22-20 and knocking them out of contention. Things could've been different if Hanita Grasce won, especially because of Giovanniland's poor performance so far, but they turned out how they did and that's the only thing that matters.
    LAFONTAINE: You're really trying to antagonise literally every other nation in the cup, aren't you.
    BLUBBERMAN: They're competitors - why shouldn't I? Finally, let's turn to Group D! Cambria lost against United Adaikes, their eastern neighbour in Polaris, in a 19-24 match that demonstrates that even big countries don't get an automatic ticket to victory. And in the other match, Nagaraningrad delivered a brutal 22-8 smackdown to Qostaoyae, putting the latter at the very bottom of their group and at great risk of not being able to continue in the competition! The Qostaoyans will have to work incredibly hard if they want to survive by the skin of their teeth. And that's it for Match Day 3! This is the chan-
    LAFONTAINE: Wait a minute - I'm getting emails from corporate. Huh, the editor-in-chief himself. Wait, what is this? SDCSN stock price tumbling...journalistic integrity mired by scandals...formal complaints coming in from foreign countries and even Santo-Dominians...Government considering suspending broadcast licence...CUT THE BROADCAST! This is a disaster. BLUBBERMAN, IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM, NOW! Corporate has some stern words for you!
    The broadcast ends abruptly as BLUBBERMAN is forcibly dragged off set by LAFONTAINE and other interns. The camera pans away and the ad break begins.

    ZORAN - Matchday 4 is to be held on Tuesday, 15th of February. Group D is scheduled to play in The Conquest Ring, Yemiduga City, Zoran with matches between United Adaikes and Qostaoyae, and between Min-Su and Cambria. This would be MIZUNO's 3rd game after losing its match against United Adaikes and resting last Matchday 3, February 13th. 
    Previously, Coach Wang Ang has said that MIZUNO's match against United Adaikes was destined to end MIZUNO's journey in RWC3. And Ang was indeed right all along. MIZUNO team is expected to return home after the world cup ends.
    State Sports Commissioner Michael Kitamura has said that MIZUNO's participation is not one of athletic importance but of an economic one. A revenue report from the Ministry of Finance stated that from the beginning of the RWC3, Min-Su generated a whopping ¥549 million in revenue. The revenue was from different "economic" activities such as advertisements, product placements, livestreams, television coverage, merchandise, airline fares, etc.
    State Minister of Finance Wen Yuan urged stockholders to continue to commit to the state "economic" activities being performed in the RWC3 stage. Revenue is predicted to reach more or less a billion after the RWC3 due to a surge in "gullible" buyers.

    Daninogisgv Galosga, Zoran - The Landslag i Rugby is looking to recover their international rugby standings after being knocked out in the quarterfinals of the last World Cup. After opening the Cup with a 13-0 win against Einherfell, the Landslag next faces off against the Dalimbari, last Cup's runner up and sporting rival. The Dalimbari squad is ranked second in the world to the Landslag's tenth, and while the bookies all favor Dalimbar, there is still some hope for the Fujar yet.
    Tåkstad, Fujai - Concern over World Rugby's decision to host the World Cup in Zoran has once again been voiced by FRIF leadership. After a demonstration outside FRIF headquarters in Tåkstad, spokesperson Marte Elvebakk spoke to the public saying "Since the beginning of the bidding process, we have expressed concern over this event occurring so soon after such a devastating conflict. It is plain that the suffering of the war has not ended, yet here we are nonetheless."

    The team walk back into the changing room, Aina following in. Ness was clearly kicking herself, and Lekan was clearly not in a good mood.

    Aina looks at them all "For all that is my heart, cheer up!" She wasn't exactly the quietest "yes okay we lost, but we gave them a fight for it - 6-3 is a good score. We held our own, and we were hard on them." She snarls, showing her often hidden feistness. 
    Kasper walks in, nodding to the end of her sentence he overheard "you're a strong team. Untested, unrivalled. One of the best things we have to our advantage right now is that no one knows us or how we play. It worked wonders in the Esferiad, so let's get that same thing again." He points out
    Ness looks at the team "You have a point... we just feel like crap for losing."
    Kasper shrugs "Its your first game, its bound to be difficult. You know how the other teams play though. Adapt and improvise." 
    Aina thinks for a moment "I will revise the team for our next match, so we are at our strongest for as long as possible. You guys are great at what you do, don't let our first match bring you down."
    Lekan sighs, having actually perked up a bit. He drums the tune of a well known song on a locker door, and one of the others start humming along as they start getting changed.
    Aina walks out, followed by Kasper. "What are you thinking?" She asks him. He thinks for a moment on his reply "well, the guys just need confidence. But that comes with playing. Be the confidence they need, and the rest will fall into place.". She nods "agreed. Tell Jax and James that the team are coming out of this stronger and ready to try again.". Kasper smiles "I will... take care alright?". Aina rolls her eyes, returning the smile, "you need to stop caring about me and start caring about you"
    Kasper laughs, and walks off, already calling the studio.

    Aina exhaled as she releases the string. Another perfect shot. Kasper claps as he stands up to give her advice. She hands him the bow.
    "How's Kassakira?" 
    He takes the bow and readys the arrow. "She is doing well, the international viewing ban was lifted thanks to her work." 
    She nods as he takes aim, watching from his side "Yeah.. the Rugby world cup seems really cool..." she replied, sounding like there was hidden behind her words
    He releases, the arrow just touching her previous shot. "I know you put a lot of effort into Rugby, and your parents prefer Archery."
    She takes the bow back off him, clumsily clicking the arrow in. "Yeah. I prefer Rugby. I've been trying to add muscle so I can play better."
    He smiles as he watches her take aim, and reaches to correct her "I can speak to your parents if you want. Better off disappointing them with this than-" 
    She huffs, letting him correct her "that seems like a good idea. I see a lot of stuff about Rugby online and I think it would be a better route for me..." she lets go and the shot hits both arrows before falling to the ground.
    He doesn't take the bow "I agree. Leave this Archery stuff to me." He smiles, petting her head. "I'll always be in your corner Aina."
    "Thank you, I hope I can play in the 1st world cup we are in." She thinks out loud, ducking out of his affection.

    He nods as they watch a tackle "That's good. I was surprised to hear that you took the coaching position."
    She doesnt look at him as she speaks "Well... someone had to do it. I'm a team player afterall." There was obviously a hidden message behind her reply.
    He puts a hand on her shoulder "You're on my number 1 for this year by the way. Playing or not."

    The Jingle: I've been driving in my car listening to Jeremy Clarkson.
    [The jingle ends]
    Jeremy Clarkson: How much did you spend making those?
    Richard Hammond: 5 Deltas a pop.
    Jeremy Clarkson: No matter, we will redeem ourselves with my new, brilliant and extremely complicated traffic system. What I've done here is I've fixed up, er, a link between the Zoranian road authorities so I can see all the traffic cameras from all the motorways in the region. Now what's happening is we've got an outside broadcast truck in Marelitus, that's firing its signal up to a satellite 22,000 miles in space back down to a truck in New Zoradia, they're filing it over to our radio station in Leo Rugiet and here we are in the studio looking, and if I can swing the camera round now we can get it off the main pictures, I can even zoom in.
    [Outside the radio room]
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: With full control of the cameras Jeremy can reveal his big plan.
    [Inside the radio room]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Instead of telling you where the traffic jams are, I am going to give you the registration number of the car that has caused it.
    [Outside the radio room]
    Dia Mondrushchenko: So, he's not just reporting on the traffic, he's bossing it about.
    [Inside the radio room]
    Jeremy Clarkson: Now who's this exac- coming down in the van? You're leaving a 200 yard gap there, now close up!
    [Outside the radio room]
    Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: While Jeremy is shouting at the traffic, James and Richard are getting to grips with the music.
    [Inside the radio room]
    James May: No don't tell me. As promised earlier it's 'Frightening Power of Nemesis'.
    Richard Hammond: Oh you sprung that on me rather. Do you wanna do that again James?
    James May: As promised earlier it's 'Frightening Power of Nemesis'.
    Richard Hammond: Maybe just once more for me mate.
    James May: Just play something else.

    James May: Oh its right!
    Richard Hammond: Heheheh, yeah!
    James May: He has no idea.
    Richard Hammond: Yeah, you see. Um, I'd just like to apologise.

    [Rather ominously, the Black Sun Cult leader and destroyer of other nation's sports teams Rago stands in the background]
     
    Unfortunately at that moment the feed cut off again, albeit this time it was because Sekkekkyuu had managed to get lost within the halls of the radio station. Her sense of direction rivals James May's. Thus we depart once more.
    Some say he wants you to draw him like one of your Markian nobles, and that he was born inside the explosion from a Dalimbari landmine. All we know is he's called the Stig! This is the Bauhaus Novel, we bid you all a temporary farewell.

    She looks back at them as they play "They are doing well, the first game is giving them strength through the disappointment."
    He nods as they watch a tackle "That's good. I was surprised to hear that you took the coaching position."
    She doesnt look at him as she speaks "Well... someone had to do it. I'm a team player afterall." There was obviously a hidden message behind her reply.
    He puts a hand on her shoulder "You're on my number 1 for this year by the way. Playing or not." 
    She smiles, shaking off his hand. "Thanks. For being in my corner still."

    Aina exhaled as she releases the string. Another perfect shot. Kasper claps as he stands up to give her advice. She hands him the bow.
    "How's Kassakira?" 
    He takes the bow and readys the arrow. "She is doing well, the international viewing ban was lifted thanks to her work." 
    She nods as he takes aim, watching from his side "Yeah.. the Rugby world cup seems really cool..." she replied, sounding like there was hidden behind her words
    He releases, the arrow just touching her previous shot. "I know you put a lot of effort into Rugby, and your parents prefer Archery."
    She takes the bow back off him, clumsily clicking the arrow in. "Yeah. I prefer Rugby. I've been trying to add muscle so I can play better."
    He smiles as he watches her take aim, and reaches to correct her "I can speak to your parents if you want. Better off disappointing them with this than-" 
    She huffs, letting him correct her "that seems like a good idea. I see a lot of stuff about Rugby online and I think it would be a better route for me..." she lets go and the shot hits both arrows before falling to the ground.
    He doesn't take the bow "I agree. Leave this Archery stuff to me." He smiles, petting her head. "I'll always be in your corner Aina."
    "Thank you, I hope I can play in the 1st world cup we are in." She thinks out loud, ducking out of his affection.

    President of the Seven Hundred,
    I am writing to you on behalf of our current leader, Mpitarika Kassakira Petrovikan, concerning recent events involving our naval personnel. She has requested that I handle current communication on this matter to keep privacy at this time.
    In the morning of 09FEB22, our general commands centre received intelligence of your endeavour of addressing an illicit border crossing by one of our naval ships. Upon further investigation, we have discovered that this has happened multiple times over the past year - dating back to 30MAR21. I express my apologies towards this situation, and have halted current monitoring by naval vessels there until further notice, instead we are monitoring our Territorial borders double fold.
    Due to the way this was handled by your officers, I would like to ask for a verbal conversation on the matter to focus on what to do going forward. As a Military man myself, I have noted the training that was practised in this situation, and I am impressed by the skills of your force. As of current, our ship has been placed under maintenance review and our officers on paid leave while we continue our investigation.
    I hope for your reply in earnest and with eagerness.
    Meklit Guntur

    SITUATION BRIEFING - LEVEL: STAVKA-ONLY - SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS BRANCH
    Situation: Demonstrations by Anti-Dalimbari Elements in Far-Eastern Control Zone
    Reports from local commands in Far-Eastern Control Zone (FECZ) note a 27% increase in Anti-Dalimbari behaviour overnight after the Dalimbari-Fujansk match at Rugby World Cup 3 in Zoran. Two sub-districts east of Port Ain, within the FECZ, describe an attempted arson campaign by hostile elements which was quickly suppressed. Five sub-districts near frontier tell of sporadic organized protests near Dalimbari military assets, which have also been quashed. It is recommended that increased jamming of foreign communication signals and an increase in active service members patrol zones to maintain order. 
    Further reports from Zoran from on-site security services note harassment towards Dalimbari nationals in attendance of rugby matches. It is unclear at this time of the nationalities of those abusing Dalimbari - suspects include Fujansk and Cambrian nationals. No comment by local law enforcement has been made at this time. Unclear if they are even aware. Protection of Dalimbari nationals continues to be the paramount objective of security services in area.
