Dynamite's Diary - 4th July 2022

Well, slight problem with the money thing. I'll probably be taking longer to reach my money goal as everyone else working on the drinks stall wanted the cash too. At least I suspected that it would be an issue beforehand.

I don't know why they all had to make a big fuss over it. I'd already told them beforehand what the purpose of the stall was and that it was to fund my room. I even reminded them today, and just to make sure, pointed out that I was the leader of the stall and therefore should get the majority of the share.

But Lottie was all like "But I'm the one promoting it all on social media!". To be fair, she has a MAJOR social media profile. She's got her own vlog, and she knows how to use stuff like Instagram and TikTok. I can barely use the latter myself. But promotion's only a small aspect when it comes to a business like this. You can't just promote it well - you have to run it well too.

And then Smartie went on about how she was the one who designed the stall's look and had apparently made twice as many drinks as I had on the first day of summer. Even though I had to spend time on the stall to make sure that the drinks were being sold correctly. Seriously... >:(

Ultimately, we reached an agreement. I receive two sixths of the profit whilst everyone else receives one sixth. Lottie was still indignant about it but the others seemed fine. Personally, I feel like I could have received a lot more, but sometimes you can't win them all.

And today, I had another tournament match to take part in. This one went MUCH better than the last one. It was a dude in a pig mask and with noticeable pecs, and he actually had me on the ropes a few times. Nearly strangled me at one point too whilst clubbing me with a mace. I still managed to beat him with my dynamite stick though. Honestly, it's much better to fight someone who can actually fight you than someone who just whiffs it within the first few seconds - it feels more like a fight that way.

The people in the arena liked our new drinks as well. We've got some new ones on offer, such as our Green Dream smoothies. The Fruity variant has kiwi, lime and green apple in it whilst the veggie equivalent has broccoli and kale. Apparently some people really like their veggies in what's supposed to be a sweet drink.

I've been told by Xtreme that I might need to do some more practicing for my match later this month. Apparently, a former champion has returned and I'm fighting them next. Hopefully, this turns out to be a worthwhile match. And most importantly, I hopefully make it to the next round after that.
