Students and faculty gathered in the front courtyard of her school, where there was a large stage with many unfamiliar people standing proud upon it. Feedback stared as many people she had no idea about came to stand in the courtyard, before looking at the stage.

"Salutations!" came the jolly voice of a portly-looking cat in a dapper business suit. Many other adults were behind him, apparently with him as well. "You may be wondering what exactly you are here for. Well, your school has been selected to participate in the Faralon Production Contest!"

Immediately, murmurs went throughout the crowd after he said that. The cat smiled as he added, "The contest will involve groups of students - that includes you among other schools - to produce impressive works of art to show your talent! The time-frame will be over the course of five months, so be sure to work on it while staying on top of your standard assignments! As well, the first place prize will be one million rings, a custom Extreme Gear of your choice, and a scholarship to the college of your choice. Second place will get five hundred thousand rings and the Extreme Gear, and third place receives two hundred fifty thousand rings."

Feedback stared, slack-jawed, as the cat explained the prizes. ''One million rings, Extreme Gear, and college scholarship?! Oh wow, Overload's going to love that!''

"Now, your groups - you will be randomly assigned your teammates based on overall academic score from previous years, aptitude, and skill in working with groups. Remember, working together means you will do exceptionally well! If you wish to participate, let us know, and we'll put your names up, and we will put you together with whichever student we deem the best to work with. Come on, step up! No need to be shy!"
