I'm uploading this here because Soundcloud won't let me upload things to my personal accounts for some reason because "your browser is using cookies". Not this account though. Even if all the other conditions are the same. Probably because I'm paying for it. If that's the case, that's fucking disgusting.

After being discovered for his talent for puppeteering, Marinn was thrust into a violent game in which students are pit against each other. Thankfully, he was rescued, and... then was put into a completely different competition. Guess he never gets a break, huh? While he may not be great at fighting, (or interacting with others in general), he'll be sure to put on a great show. No strings attached!

[ LR4M1 ] New Donk Clash

"I feel as though I may have been hasty gathering my reward... It does not sit well for me that her failure has doomed her whole people to an eternity in the darkness. For how she'd never give up, either... Twice, pushed to the brink of death. She wouldn't back down until her body gave out under her. Admirable. I wish your kind peace, wherever you can find it..."
~ Meta Knight

07/BEAM ⚔︎ CEROBA
For years, monsters have been sealed away by a powerful spell. With their hopes smashed, their people demoralized, and their ruler in dismay, many have given up trying to break the spell to return. Ceroba Kestukane, the secret strength of the Wild East, arrived at the tournament with a gaze that Meta Knight immediately knew as unbreakable. For her, the stakes have never been higher. She hopes to use the Galactic Nova's power to grant her a 7th Human Soul, power enough to smash the barrier and save all monsterkind. In the end, it's up to you to decide if tomorrow means the surface, or if their struggles are sent back home to further blossom.
