I finally got one from Diavolo and Barbatos!!!

This was from placing both of them at The Mausoleum:

Rowen: What's all the kerfuffle about, Milady?

Elize: When you say a powerful foe, you don't mean...

Teepo: Oh boy, I think she does...

Driselle: Yep. I'm afraid so. And my nemesis is here. Waiting for me inside the manor.

Elize: That can't be! I thought it was destroyed a year ago!

Driselle: This is no ordinary foe. It's never truly gone... Not completely.

Teepo: You mean it's immortal?! We're doomed!

Driselle: Not with this gun. Oh no... No, it ends today. Whahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHA!

Rowen: Lady Driselle is quite frightening when she's angry!

Driselle: The time for retribution has come! Ludger and I will lead the charge from the sides of the manor, trapping it in a pincer and forcing the beast into the center of the manor!

Ludger: Understood!

Driselle: And that is when Elize and Rowen will storm the middle. Strike fast, and strike true, comrades! Have your spirit artes ready to go a moment's notice!

Elize: Yes ma'am!

Teepo: I'm ready to deploy!

Driselle: We meet in the center of the manor at 1200 hours! We only get one shot at this so don't hold back! I wanna see a flurry of bullets and spirit artes out there, men!

Rowen: A stupendous stratagem, Milady, but might I make a few modifications?

Driselle: You may not, soldier! You have your orders!

Rowen: Y-Yessir, Ma'am. Sir!

Driselle: I can't hear you, soldier!

Rowen: YES, MA'AM!

Driselle: I can't guarantee your safety out there, men. Try to watch your back. Our foe may have something up his sleeve... Now then... Roll out!

Teepo: Let's kick some butt!

[Fade to black] Driselle: Clear!

Driselle: Enemy kill confirmed! Mission Complete!

Elize: That was tense!

Teepo: Vive la resistance! Vive la Teepo!

Driselle: We have won a great victory today, and we kept our casualties to a minimum. As long as we stand together against tyranny, we are unstoppable!

Ludger: Y-Yeah...

Man: You've got to be kidding me! I'm just charging what I gotta charge to stay in business!

Soldier: Hey, things are though for everyone! We can't afford to pay these prices!

Jude: Hey, hey, let's all calm down!

Woman: What, you're taking the soldiers' side? I can't believe this!

Karla: Stop it!

Jude: Karla?

Soldier: Hey, I know you. You're close with His Highness.

Milla: What exactly is your connection to Gaius?

Karla: He just summons me here sometimes, that's all. I heard he was away, so I came to see if everything was all right.

Jude: Well, you were certainly right to be concerned.

Karla: I'm afraid so. With King Gaius and the Chimeriad gone, the domestic stability of Auj Oule is beginning to unravel. But I still can't believe that things have regressed this far, this quickly. It's simply pathetic.

Jude: Is it that bad?

Karla: Clearly, the weak must be tended to constantly, or they'll disrupt everything. I guess it's too much to ask for everyone to grow strong. It's hopeless.

Jude: Hold on. Maybe they'll never know what it's like to be as strong as Gaius, but that doesn't make them hopeless!

Karla: How can you deny it? You see what's happening here! My brother Erston sacrificed his family for these people, and this is what happens?

Jude: Wait, what?

Milla: You're Gaius' sister?

Karla: Yes. You wanted to know Gaius' real name? It's Erston Outway. I believe that my brother forged his philosophy partly as a way to atone for what he did to me. That's why he wanted to be the king. And because of that, I thought I could forgive him. But looking at this, I don't know anymore. If this is what his efforts amounted to, then give me my brother back.

Man: Hey, come on... If the guard's undermanned, I can help out. I know my way around a sword.

Soldier: But only official soldiers are allowed to fight.

Soldier: Hey, it's obvious we're going to need some help to get through this.

Man: Listen... I'll talk to the other unions about the skyrocketing food prices.

Woman: But if this situation drags on, things will only get worse.

Jude: That doesn't mean you can't do anything about it!

Man: The boy is right! Forget about what we can't do and let's focus on what we can!

Karla: Jude...

Karla: I hate to say it, but I think we have to face the facts. Everything King Gaius did was for naught.

Milla: Are you sure about that?

Woman: Lady Karla, we may not be the kind of people that King Gaius would consider strong.

Man: But that doesn't mean we can't do for ourselves the same things that he's always done for us.

Soldier: I want to know that I've done everything that I can, so I can hold my head high when King Gaius returns.

Karla: Thank you... All of you!

Karla: If the news of my identity spreads, it will only make trouble for King Gaius. We'll probably never see each other again, but I'm glad I was able to meet all of you. Farewell.

Jude: I suppose we should be going ourselves.

Most events will be run at Regular REL.

At GPs, typically only the trials run the day before the main event, the main event itself, and the PTQ on Sunday are run at Competitive REL.

As the global community gathers for the 23rd Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), the side event "Harmony High" emerges as a beacon of inspiration, celebrating the resilience of Indigenous youth. This event is dedicated to unravelling the rich tapestry meticulously woven by Indigenous youth, particularly focusing on their contributions to sustainable agriculture in mountainous regions.

"Harmony High" is an ode to the relentless pursuit of disaster and climate resilience by Indigenous youth, particularly in the challenging terrain of mountainous regions. It symbolizes the passing of the torch, blending tradition and innovation harmoniously, all with the aim of sculpting a sustainable and resilient future.

The side event aims to organize Indigenous youth for a resilient future by engaging and celebrating their contributions to food security and agriculture in mountainous regions. Mountains boast beautiful landscapes, rich biodiversity, and environments teeming with flora and fauna. They are also the cradle of traditional Indigenous knowledge and wisdom, including indigenous seeds and agricultural practices. This event seeks to highlight Indigenous youth leadership and vision for a sustainable and resilient world, rooted in traditional knowledge.
