Chapter 1: Kick-Off Part 1
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* My eyes slid open and looked at the alarm clock. 1:13 am is what I read. The events of yesterday had seemed like a dream till I looked around at my surroundings and realised that I was not in my bedroom in Warrington *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*. Another series of knocks hit my door resulting in me sitting up in my bed. "Rina! Open up!" A familiar voice spoke in a calling manner. I knew exactly who it was and this filled me with dread. I walked like a zombie to the door. I pulled it open revealing Savanna smiling while her arm was wrapped around Toby's forearm.
"Savanna it's one clock in the morning. What do you want…" I spoke wearily.
"I'm hungry…" She rested her hand on her abdomen. "Come with us to the kitchen to get food."
"Please don't feel pressured to…"
"Hush darling! I said I'm doing the invitation." Savanna interrupted Toby smiling while having a slightly aggressive tone.
"Savanna I would love to come but I am really tired," I replied.
" C'mon Rina! It would be great bonding time!" Savanna pouted.
"I'm sorry Savanna, I will make it up to you, I promise." I smiled at the gamer whose disappointment turned to encouragement.
"Alright! I will hold you that." Savanna grinned before Toby and her left, Toby's sent me a look to help him but I could not be asked to deal with it, right now. As soon as they departed I quickly collapsed on to my bed
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* The alarm clock started ringing and I slammed my hand onto it. It was now 5:45 am I felt refreshed, after all, I was used to waking up at this time for my morning runs. I dressed in the clothes that I wore yesterday, it felt dirty but I had no other clothes to wear. I departed to the leisure centre where most of our team was already there save for Savanna.
"Ah Rina! Nice for you to join us!" Jack greeted me with his usual energy.
"How you are still energetic at this time of the day…." Ayden asked rubbing his eyes.
"Through hard work and perseverance." Ryoko interrupted.
"I guess with the nature of your talent you don't really need to get up early to train huh?" I figured looking at Ayden.
"Yeah and that and I was natural at what I was doing. I do pity those born without talent." Ayden boasted.
"You know hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard you know!" Ryoko declared.
"True but I do work hard for your information." Ayden defended himself. "But most of the competitions I have outclassed many hard workers. Those who have to work hard usually have no skill."
"That's not true! At all!" Ryoko now roared passionately.
"Guys calm down! It's way too early to be arguing!" Chase tried to make peace.
"Yeah listen to your peer!" Monoorenji randomly appeared from behind the reception. "We need to work together."
"You get off your high horse Ayden! You just whack balls into a hole." Ryoko remarked.
"You better watch your mouth bitch!" Ayden was quick to anger, usually relaxed guy it was pellicular to see him so aggressive. The duo confronted each other invading each other's personal space. Monoorenj leapt between the two, parting them.
"ENOUGH YOU TWO!" Monoorenji exclaimed. "One more word and you will be penalised!" The two back off after a while. "Good! Now is everyone here?!" The bear started doing a headcount before quickly realising someone was missing. "Where's Savanna? Does she want to get...PUNISHED!"
"I'm here…" Savanna stumbled in the room, clearly exhausted. "Sorry I'm late…" She rubbed her eyes.
"Try not to make it a habit okay?" Monoorenji scolded her. "Alright guys! Go to the changing room on the first floor then meet me in the gym on the same floor….there is a surprise for your guys there….HURRY!" We also migrated to the first floor where I got a sudden feeling of deja vu This is the place where I woke up! I realised as we arrived at the entrance of the changing room. Boys and girls went to their respective rooms. There was a box in the middle of the room with a note.
"Dear girls, please enjoy these fabulous outfits, from Monoorenji!" Uni read. "Looks like we get to change out of these dirty clothes...about time!" She opened the box.
"Are they one size fit all cause no offence I have ass-sets and some of you girls are stick insects," Ru remarked as she posed in a flaunting manner.
"None taken, I guess?" I felt compelled to reply knowing that she was taking a dig at me.
"Don't worry they are labelled with who is whos. So don't worry about your fat ass not fitting in." Uni teased as she tossed the uniforms to each of the athletes.
"Hey!" Ru shouted back as I received my uniform. The uniform was simply a set of orange leggings with orange athletes crop top with our midriffs. On the right side of our chest, it had our names and our talent emblazoned in white fabric. Uni was right that it fitted us like a glove.
"HEY! GET UP!" Ryoko shouted shaking Savanna who had napped on the bench.
"HUH? Mommy…" Savanna moaned as he came to her sense. "Oh sorry, I am not used to this early...morning..tra…" Her head sulked as she began to snore away *SMACK* "OWWWWIE!" Savanna leapt up as she held her face rubbing after a powerful slap from the Track and Field star.
"Are you awake now?" Ryoko asked.
"That really hurt… Ryo…" Savanna placed her hand in her mouth interrupting herself before clearing her throat.
"Are you okay, Savanna?" I questioned with a concerned tone.
"Huh...Yeah, I must have indigestion from my midnight snack." Savanna replied.
"TMI!" Rutendo revolted.
"What?! She asked for dets!" Savanna grinned, completely ignoring the fact that she was slapped a couple of seconds ago.
"Hey Savanna, sorry for slapping so hard. I guess I took out some of my previous anger on you." For the first time ever, Ryoko's voice was calm.
"It's okay Ryoko-senapi!" Savanna replied cheerfully.
"Hey! I meant to slap you! Just as hard! And I will slap you again if you call me senpai!" Ryoko shouted back to her normal self. Savanna quickly began to cry again.
"It's too early for this…" Uni commented under her breath.
"Alright gals! We already right?! Let's go train!" Savanna's excitement was very short-lived for as soon as we rendezvoused with the boys she was already dozing off collapsed on the floor. Ryoko and Ayden avoided each other. The boys were wearing an orange track top with oranges, with orange shorts.
"Where is Monoorenji? She forces us to wake up at this time and she is late!" Ben complained.
"Sorry! I'm here!" Monoorenji appeared in the gym. It was your standard gym studio with standard cardio machines like treadmill, bicycles, cross gliders and rowing machines on one side while the weight machines, CrossFit machines and weights with a mirror present. Water fountains occupied the corner of the rooms. "Alright guys! This is the pla...SAVANNA!"
"I'M AWAKE!" Savanna rapidly stood up.
"If I catch you sleeping one more time, you will be penalised!" Monoorenji scolded.
"Right, Ryoko slap me again!" Savanna said in a giddy almost a perverted manner.
"Don't say it like that!" Ryoko quickly responded.
"Anyway, first of all, we are gonna do 30 minutes on the treadmill where we will do interval training; 5 minutes of warmup then 1-minute sprints then 2-minutes walking/resting then another 1-minute sprint and repeat etc till the 25th minute where we rest for 5 minutes," Monoorenji instructed resulting in collective groans from some individuals in the group save from Savanna.
"Nice! I'm fired up now!" Savanna exclaimed. Once again her excitement quickly diminished as ten minutes into the exercise she could barely stay on the mill holding onto the sides. The machines had no controls but were all universally controlled by Monoorenji to prevent anyone from cheating.
"This isn't fair….I'm a gymnast, not a marathon runner…" Uni panted.
"Come on you got to push yourself. This is nothing!" Ryoko roared.
"Alright! I'm on it!" Jack roared trying to keep up.
By the 20th minutes, apart from Ryoko, Bently, Rutendo and I, we were struggling, especially Savanna.
"COME ON STOP SLACKING!" Monoorenji shouted. "Savanna keep up the pace." Abruptly, a deep belch came out of Savanna's mouth.
"Gross…" Rutendo remarked slightly out of breath.
"Alright, cooldown time!" 5 minutes have passed and everyone was glad that it was over.
"Rina...you are amazing! You barely broke a sweat!" Chase was surprised as we were all walking on the treadmill at a slow pace.
"It's nothing really, I can run for much longer." I said modestly.
"Hence her ultimate title, genius…"Uni sarcastically replied.
"That's what hard work gets ya!" Ryoko emphasised.
"Yea….hardwork…" Savana breathless spoke clearly exhausted before hiccuping..
"Jeez, you are out of shape!" Rutendo declared.
"Hey….I'm a gamer...I spend 14 hours a day..eating snacks while gaming...the other 10 sleeping…" Savanna panted. "OF COURSE I AM OUT OF SHAPE!" She belched at the end causing more grotesque faces to appear in the group. "Excuse me…"
"You better pull your weight during the competitive event tomorrow, midget gamer," Ben added.
"Damn I am so psyched for this!" Jack roared.
"What's the competitive event about?" Ayden asked.
"The competitive event is where both teams compete to win a prize. They get a reward as well as an advantage in the killing game." Monoorenji elaborated.
"An advantage?" I asked as the bear reminded me of the killing aspect of the game.
"Yeah, it could be anything from weapons to access to new sites in the Killing Olympics Park," Monoorenji explained.
"What's tomorrow's event?" Chase questioned.
"I can't tell you…" The bear responded.
"Can't or won't? Aren't you supposed to help us albino bear?" Ben commented.
"I can't because I don't know what it is. The game master is the only one who knows what the event is. "Now who is ready for a weight circuit!" The group moaned further. We moved to the weights sections which were a real struggle for me due to as Akio put it: my lacking upper body strength. Rutendo and Ben excelled at the weight section while Savanna as usual struggle still filling the room with her nauseous burps. After an hour that seemed like hell, the orange bar called out.
"Good job everyone!" Monoorenji congratulated us. "I know training today must have been tough but you all did so well! Do not worry you will be rewarded with a delicious meal for this!"
"We better!" Ru scolded.
" The time now is 7:30 am so go shower, freshen yourself up for team breakfast. " Monoorenji instructed as we disbanded from the gym.
"Damn! That exercise made me realise how out of shape I am." Ayden said nonchalantly. "I guess focusing on my billiard career has made me miss a few gym days."
"Tell me about it…." Savanna was still panting.
"Well now that my blood is pumping, I AM FIRED UP! YEAH!" Jack exclaimed.
"Your energy levels never cease to surprise me." Chase smiled at the Blitzball player.
"I am still curious about this competitive event tomorrow," I spoke up.
"I think that animatronic is letting on less than she knows," Ben responded.
"I agree... for once the boys speak sense," Uni commented. Once again we parted ways into the changing rooms, changed and showered before we headed to the dining hall. The other team were also present at their side of the dining hall, the rooms were still parted with glass
"Alright! Grub is up!" Monoorenji exclaimed before handing out plates of food. It was bland chicken breast accompanied with broccoli and cauliflower with wholemeal pasta.
"Ummm, what the fuck is this?!" Rutendo poked the dry chicken. "Have you ever heard of spices and herbs!"
"Spices don't sit well with everyone! Don't want And herbs make me sneeze!" Monoorenji justified.
"Are you being serious?" Ben asked. The pause was interrupted by Ryoko's slurping up the food resulting in everyone looking at her.
"What? There is like 52 grams of protein in this! I'm not gonna let it go to waste." Ryoko shouted.
"If it good enough for Ryoko it is good enough for me!" The gamer shouted, placing a piece of chicken before she visibly struggled to swallow.
"Ummm excuse me!" Uni raised her hand before the bear nodded in acknowledgement. "I am allergic to bad food." The gymnast's comments made the bear sulk.
"FINE I WAS GONNA THIS AT OUR TEAM DINNER BUT WE WILL DO IT NOW!" Monoorenji shouted. "We need to assign team roles!"
"Roles?" Ayden enquired.
"You know every team needs roles so each person knows what they are doing and what they are contributing to the team. We need a captain, vice-captain, a NUTRITIONIST! And an Investigator!"
*SPLAT* Savanna coughed out a piece of chicken. "Oooo! I WILL BE CAPTA-"
"NOOOO!" A collective roar from Ayden, Uni, Ru, Ben and even Chase shut her down.
"So rude…" Savanna began crying.
"What do we need an investigator for?" I wondered.
"For in case one of our teammates get murdered...touch wood! Or even if one of them gets murdered, only those who assist will survive…" Monoorenji said in a gloomy fashion.
"Damn...that's intense…" Jack spoke ignorantly.
"You guys vote on a captain, then the captain appoints the other roles. I know you guys have not known each other for less than a day and I was gonna do it as dinner but since you guys hate my food so much…" Monoorenji nearly started crying but no one seemed to feel sorry for her. "We will do it now...someone nominates someone else! You can nominate yourself!"
"Ok, in that case, I nominate mysel-"
"NOOOO!" The same people once again quickly shut down Savanna's second attempt.
"The captain should be someone that gets along with everyone," Ben spoke.
"So not Rutendo…" Uni smirked
"Bitch do not make me start on you…" Ru snapped back. "I don't care if I don't get along with everyone…"
" And they need to be someone who has good leadership skills." Ben continued.
"Do you have a candidate in mind?" Chase pursued.
"How about Rina?" Ben suggested. "She seems to be a likeable person I think, out of the nine of us she is the least hated anyway."
"I'm flattered?" I had mixed feelings about that statement. "But I am not really the leader type."
"Well if it is leadership you want I think maybe Ryoko could be a great candidate. She speaks her mind. I nominate her." Chase proposed.
"I don't think she's that good." Ayden responded.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Ryoko started to be aggressive.
"You are too hot-headed, we need someone with a cool head. I second the motion for Rina." Ayden spoke.
"Hot-headed? You just have a problem with me! Cause I earned my talent through hard work and was not given everything on a silver platter!" Ryoko rebutted.
"You know you are proving his point right?" Uni recognised the irony of the situation. "I also think Rina should be the captain, out of the sensible people here she is the least hated. So that's 3 votes for Rina."
"Again, you guys are too kind?" I was still perplexed by the statement. "But I think Ryoko would be better than I vote for her."
"If Rina is saying that Ryoko is better than her, she should be captain. Only makes sense" Jack explained. "That's 3-3. Jack! That leaves Ryoko, Savanna and Ru."
"I nominate Savanna," Rutendo spoke.
"HUH?! REALLY?!" Savanna stopped her sulking to a face of joy.
"Hell no! I don't care who's the captain!" Ru words silenced Savanna.
"Ryoko if I vote for you, will you make me vice-captain?" Savanna pleaded.
"No!" Ryoko said in a stern manner. "I see you for a more valuable position."
"Really! Alright I vote for Ryoko senpai!" She announced.
"Fine I would vote for Ryoko. I think her passion will add something to the team." Rutendo finally answered.
"You only want to see more tension don't you?" Uni pointed out.
"If I must stay here indefinitely it will make things interesting." Ru explained.
"Well, congratulations to Ryoko Lee, the Ultimate Track/Field Star and now the captain of team orange." Monoorenji handed Ryoko an orange armband that read Captain on it.
"Rina if there is any consolation I would have voted for you." Ryoko smiled at me. " So I would like to make you Vice Captain!"
"Awww, thanks Ryoko!" I blushed and I was touched by Ryoko's offer. "I will take you up on that!"
"Right, Rutendo since you know about 'spices and herbs' you can be the chef!" Ryoko declared, quoting the South African.
"What?!" The rugby player protested.
"Lol, serves you right! Now we have another reason to criticize her." Uni added who received a scorn look from Ru.
"Savanna you can be the investigator!" Ryoko declared.
"Yesss! HEY, HOW IS THAT MORE IMPORTANT THAT VICE CAPTAIN!" Savanna questioned.
"Because in any team, the vice-captain has no real responsibility unless the captain has become incapacitated. Basically they are back up. No offence Rina." Jack explained.
"None taken." I spoke, I didn't really want to be in a position of responsibility.
"I guess that makes sense..." Savanna pondered.
"Well now that the positions are set you guys have free time till 4 pm where we have our next team event at the leisure centre," Monoorenji explained. "By the way...I CAN DEPOSE OF ANYONE FROM THEIR POSITION IF THEY BREAK THE RULES OR DISOBEY ME!" The bear's voice went from zero to a hundred in less of a second. Immediately Ru stood up and left. Ayden and Ben also swiftly left but after the Billiard player leered at Ryoko before smirking.
"Alright! Free Time!" Jack stood up stretching.
"Ryoko-sama! What is my first role as investigator!" Savanna was on her knees begging.
"Don't use any form of honorifics with my name okay! If you want to be useful I guess you could spy on the other team." Ryoko spoke.
"Aye sir! I have my boyfriend, he can help me!" Savanna quickly dashed out of the room leaving quickly. I covered my mouth blocking a yawn.
"I'm tired, I am gonna hit the hay…" I yawned before departing to my room . What happened next is a bit blurry to my exhaustion but I must have blacked out on my bed.
*GURGLE* I was woken up by my stomach asking for food. I haven't eaten anything proper since I have been here. I looked at the alarm clock, it read 12:23. I have four hours to kill, let's see what I can cook up. I sat up and headed to the kitchen.
FREE TIME EVENT
I entered the dining hall and it was empty however when I entered the kitchen I saw Uni prepping food. "Hey, Rina! How's it going!" Uni spoke in a more upbeat manner than she normally did.
"Oh, hey Uni? Is every okay? You seem joyful?" I asked her with a cheeky grin on my face.
"I will try not to take offense from that! I know I can be sarcastic all the time but I can be a good
human too y'know!" Uni replied.
"Sorry…" I smiled.
"So what brings you here? I guess you were so impressed by Monoorenji cooking that you came to make it yourself right?" Uni questioned. She was back to her sarcastic manner
"Yeah!" I giggled. "Actually I came to make food too." I looked at Uni who was placing what looked like dumplings into a stainless steel steamer. "What are you cooking?"
"Oh, just some steamed red bean paste buns." She spoke as she turned on the hob underneath the steamer.
"That sounds exotic! Better than the generic food we have in England." I replied.
"Well duh? When you think of cultured cuisine you definitely do not think of England!" Uni agreed. "But to be fair, these are nothing special. Quite common in Japan."
"Ah, I see. I bet growing up in Japan was cool. With all those gadgets you guys have over there." I smiled but Uni did not reciprocate it.
"Yeah, sure…" Uni said dishearteningly.
"Sorry I didn't mean anything…" I apologised.
"It's fine, I didn't really have normal children for anyone," Uni replied.
"How so?" I spoke in a worried manner, resulting in Uni sighing deeply before asking my question.
"My parents died and I was forced to live in the streets." Uni explained.
"Oh Uni, I am so sorry that you had to…"
"Why are you apologising?" Uni quickly interrupted me with a stern face. "Everyone has troubles in their lives. Besides if it wasn't for it, I wouldn't be able to do this." Uni legs parted before doing a forward split on the kitchen floor.
"Wow! You are so flexible!" I was amazed.
"You don't say?" Uni remarked as she rapidly stood up. "Plus it toughened me up! I'm not your stereotypical emotional girl who weeps over some boys."
"I wish I could say the same." I giggled but slightly embarrassed. "So how did you become a gymnast then?"
"Well one can only live on the streets for a while. After a couple of skirmishes with the police I decided to use the skills I developed for a more productive purpose than stealing." Uni elaborated, by now her steamed buns were ready. She handed me one and started eating one herself.
"Wow! These are delicious!" I said with a wide smile on my face.
"They sure are!" Uni said proudly. "I didn't just steal Tatsuki's buns back in the day but also his recipes."
"This sure beats what I was gonna make."
"Which was?" Uni questioned now curious.
"A ham and cheese sandwich…" I spoke slightly embarrassed.
"Seriously?" The gymnast was not impressed. "Let me show you how to make some proper food." Uni began to show me some more off her recipes as she instructed me how to make homemade ramen from scratch even making the noodles from dough she made and broth. By the time we were done a couple of hours.
"Ta-da! Sapphire's special ramen!" Uni handed me a bowl with a lot a charisma.,
"Thanks, Uni. Sapphire?" I asked.
"It's my stage name. My fans love it." Uni spoke warm-heartedly. "Now eat up."
"Wow! This is incredible!" I slurped the noodles.
"So no more sandwiches?" Uni said rhetorically.
"Definitely not!" Uni and I dinked our bowls together before smiling at each other. That day Uni and I grew closer. Even though she can be sarcastic and smirk she does have a nice charismatic side to her. We finished our bowls and we parted ways. I returned to my room.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* My alarm woke up from my afternoon reading 3:45 pm and once again I had to head to the leisure centre where everyone was already waiting.
"Ah, Rina? You are here!" Savanna called out. "Now I can deliver my first investigative report!"
"Did you find a way out of here?" Ru asked with slight excitement.
"Umm...not quick but-"
"Did you find out about the enemy team at least?" Ben wondered
"Umm….no"
"Useless…" Ru cut Savanna off aggressively.
"You guys need to take it easy. No point fretting about it." Ayden spoke calmly.
"Yeah thunder thighs. No point moaning every 5 seconds." Ben added. "Excuse me!" Ru's voice was riddled with sass.
"Ayden is right!" Monoorenji jumped out from the reception desk. "So today we are gonna relax with yoga. This will relax you for and ensure you will give a great night sleep. And aid with digestion"
"Yes, please! I still feel indigestion!" Savanna spoke as she hit at her chest resulting in a small belch leaving her mouth. "Excuse me…"
"Savanna stop burping! It's annoying!" Chase snapped. It was weird to see him snap like that.
"And disgusting!" Ryoko added.
"Alright! Get change and meet me in the studio." We changed and we meet in the studio which was adjacent to the gym studio. We had a stereotypical gym session with stretches and poses with Uni excelling the most at it due to her flexibility while Rutendo and Ben struggled due to being bulkier. All in all, the session was relaxing and calming. After an hour session, Monoorenji spoke out.
"Everyone! Well done! We have our team dinner after this so please make your way to the dining hall." The bear instructed. We arrived at the dining hall but the formation was different. The glass parting the hall in two was gone and there was now one large table in the middle of the room, one the partition in the room.
"What's going on?" Chase asked.
"Since the competitive events start tomorrow, the game master has called a banquet!" The orange bear explained. "We will be providing food, so no cooking from you Ru."
"Nice!" Ru shouted.
"This will be a good way to gauge the enemy." Monoorenji finished. "Now can I have my captain, vice-captain, investigator and nutritionist from the far end inwards in that order. The rest can sit wherever you want. " I sat in between Savanna and Ryoko with the Track/Field Star at the end closest to the kitchen. After a while, the blue team arrived; for the first time we saw the blue teams coach, a half white half blue bear which was more masculine than the Monoorenji, He had an X under its black beady eye on its white side. The blue tea sat in the same formation as we did; opposite to us. Diane sat in the captains sat while Akio, Bashira and Katsumi sat in the vice captain, investigator and nutritionist respectively.
"Hey Rina, we meet again!" Akio grinned. "I see you are vice-captain?!"
"Yeah, not by choice but I gotta take one for the team." I replied.
"Where is the enthusiasm Rina?" Diane replied.
"YEAH RINA! WHERE IS THE ENTHUSIASM!" Savanna joined in by elbowing my side.
"So you are the captain...Diane is it?" Ryoko asked.
"Yeah, Ryoko right?" Diane replied.
"It's good to see strong women stepping up." Ryoko replied referring to Diane and Bashira.
"Well I only nominated myself because to me it's important to keep the team together and where better to project that view than the top!" Diane smiled in a friendly manner. "Bashira was very eager to be the investigator."
"According to the rules we are supposed to kill people. God forbid that does happen...but if it does, I can determine the killer with rigorous analysis of the body." Bashira explained in a serious manner though she did hesitate a bit.
"Well I just did it so I feel important!" Savanna exclaimed.
"What else is new." Ru spoke under her breath.
"And you're their nutritionist right?" Savanna turned to the fisherman who seemed to just be listening to the conversation.
"Yes, cooking is one of my hobbies so I thought I would contribute to the team." Katsumi justified.
"Speaking of grub, hey you go bubs!" The blue team coach handed out dishes to the team and soon after Monoorenji started giving us food. Both teams had the same food, plain salmon with vegetables.
"I would have cooked this differently," Katsumi spoke softly looking at the salmon.
"I thought this was supposed to be a banquet, Monoburu." Akio called out.
"Don't want you eating too much as tomorrow is the big day," Monokuma answered as he appeared on the table. "Hello, students! I am Monokuma, the Game Master. It is my role to ensure the fairness of the game but also to spice things up. I have noticed everyone is still alive! So no one wants to kill…" An ominous silence filled the room. "So I have something to give you guys a little bit of motivation." Monokuma started giggling.
"Since I imagine this is everyone's first time killing I believe, the reward for the winning will be access to various weapons including guns, knives, rocket launcher and swords after all your first kill is always the best so I want everyone to be able to personalise it." Monokuma added. "Oh and one last thing...the time now is 5:17 pm….if no one has died within the next 24 hours….YOU ALL WILL DIE!"
"Since I imagine this is everyone's first time killing I believe, the reward for the winning will be access to various weapons including guns, knives, rocket launcher and swords after all your first kill is always the best so I want everyone to be able to personalise it."
