Trophy Stand Casino

Thats a nice book. You realize the longer you stand here doing this, the longer it will be until you get your special trophy.

You already have a Riki trophy...

You gather your broken trophies and head inside with Pooky waiting outside as to not break a hole in the wall. Awkward approaches the counter with Just standing behind it.

Just: Hmm...You suck. Looking over your performance, that was a mess. Sure, you easily caught on to the battle and had fairly good tactics, but you don't have quite the spirit for battle. While I appreciate that you agree that these are more than just trophies, you were easily broken. You gave up on speaking with me and even lost the will to fight at times. You have tactics, but you need to work on actually bonding with your trophies and gathering up the inner strength to fight. Without that, enemies will tear you apart. I'd say I even went easy on you. See, this was no mere test of strength for you to fight my trophies and win, but a test of spirit. Oh, give me those broken trophies.

Just holds out his hands.

Just: You didn't think I would blast your entire collection apart without repairing them, did you?

Just watched as Awkward hugs his broken trophies and runs away with them, grabbing one of the capsules from the machine. Awkward runs outside on the beach. From here it looks like there's the ocean or the jungle past the TSC building.

Awkward runs into the water, starting to swim away. Not long after he gets in the water, the waves crash into him, giving off that horrible feeling where water forces itself into your nose and saltwater stings your eyes. At least the water isn't too cold. Must be because the climate is tropical. You swim as fast as you can from the shore until you can no longer touch the ground and the waves start tossing you around. Looking over at the shore, you notice Pooky waving at you as he sits there.

You continue swimming onward. Through the crashing waves, you swim fast as you can. You choke on one of the waves, coughing a bit, but you keep going. You start to feel tired as well.

You drink some of the water. Gross, why!? It tastes very salty and doesn't refresh you in the slightest. In fact, you feel worse than before. A fairly large wave is forming in front of you. That thing is huge.

You swim as fast as you can at the wave, getting swept up in it entirely and getting pushed underwater. You hold your breath, but for how long? With your eyes open underwater, you can blurrily see something swimming toward you. The salt is clearly awful on your eyes. It hurts.
