Lia

I’m ready whenever you are!

(8:20 AM)

Lia

I’m at the gate. This is where we were supposed to meet, right?

(8:35 AM)

Lia

Mason?

(8:45 AM)

Lia

I’m starting to feel like my mother now.

(8:57 AM)

Lia

Did I get the time wrong? I thought we wanted to be there at opening?

(9:04 AM)

Lia

Is everything okay?

(9:25 AM)

Lia

Two people have already finished the clues for the day. Only fifty people will make it.

(9:33 AM)

Lia

We’re never going to rank in the Top Ten at this rate.

(9:44 AM)

Lia

Are you okay? Did something happen?

(9:46 AM)

Lia

I’m going without you.

(9:48 AM)

Lia

Can you meet me at the Fool’s Gambit?

Tess

Are you done already?

(9:49 AM)

Lia

He didn’t show up.

(9:50 AM)

Tess

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

(9:51 AM)

Issy

Lia, we’re on our way.

(9:52 AM)

Tess

I’LL KILL HIS ASS.

(9:52 AM)

Issy

How do you kill someone’s ass?

(9:53 AM)

Tess

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR SEMANTICS, IS

(9:54 AM)

Issy

Lia, are you okay?

(9:55 AM)

Lia

Not really, but I’m not losing this scavenger hunt.

(9:57 AM)

Tess

Do you think he’s playing you? Is this his attempt to get you out of the contest?

(9:58 AM)

Tess

(9:59 AM)

Issy

Tess, let’s not jump to DEFCON 1 just yet. Is he on the leaderboard? Is he getting the clues on his own?

(10:01 AM)

Lia

No.

(10:01 AM)

Issy

Then I don’t think he’s trying to trick you or something.

(10:02 AM)

Lia

That’s true.

(10:04 AM)

But I can’t wait for him anymore.

(10:04 AM)

I need this money too. I need to win.

(10:05 AM)

Maybe it is best if I do it without him.
