"So, Herman wants us to roll around Thursday evening?" Rave asked as she was going through her clothes. It was 8:30 in the morning on Tuesday. They had already spoken with Lydia about today's plans. If the vote today came to a tie, and Lydia was of a solid mind that it would, the tournament would officially begin. The planning stages, anyhow.
John could potentially get announced as a fighter that very day, so he had to be there. Rave, on the other hand, wouldn't be confirmed until, at the earliest, a day later. She had insisted on coming with him anyhow.
"It's not like they will find out anything about me just by seeing me," she had argued, "and I really want to see the big R himself." Lydia had pondered about it for a moment but ultimately agreed, as long as Rave spoke to no one outside of her group during the event.
Also, Rave had to wear something at least somewhat presentable.
