"Good morning and welcome to the first annual Genie Golf Classic. It’s a beautiful day just outside the city of Paixao here on the mysterious but equally as gorgeous island. Unfortunately due to legal purposes it is to remain unnamed for the time being so for those of you watching our live feed at home put the maps away and find yourself another vacation spot. I suggest Abu Dhabi, someone needs to bring Nermal back home.

The sun is out and it’s hitting you at total of seventy five degrease Fahrenheit. Wind’s coming at you at three miles an hour, just south east with a relative humidity of thirty percent. Whoo! Hope you brought your sunscreen kids, it’s gunna be a hot one. For those of you who forgot to bring a beverage we do have a stand set up at the checkpoint with both free food and drink. That’s gunna be the sixth hole, just outside the Niflheim gate. Get ‘em while they last. Back inside the domes it looks as though we might be seeing some thundershowers this afternoon with a high chance of belligerent Org. members. Do be careful out there and don’t hesitate to call if you run into any trouble.

Things are about to get underway. We ask that all golfers that haven’t already please report to the first hole for full registration to receive maps, clubs, and more. The game will be underway in a few moments from now. So far we can look forward to seeing such notable personalities out on the green today as President Naja Salaheem of the Salaheem Sentinels and Urd, Goddess of Love. We also have the Doctor accompanied by his lovely lady friends, Jecht, Ivan, and more! Who will you meet on the green today?

Here’s a reminder for all you out there that the winner of today’s game will be awarded our super awesome ultra fantastic secret grand prize. What is it? Win and find out!

Before we begin a quick reminder of the rules is in order. We have a lot of new players with us today so we want to do our best to help play the game as well as enjoy themselves. It also never hurts to refresh yourself. A complete but brief explanation of the rules of the game can be found at the first hole along with all the necessary course maps. To be very, very brief, your objective for today is to get your ball into all the holes on the course using your clubs in as few swings as possible. Count your clubs before you begin; you are only allowed a total of fourteen. Also, remember to play the ball as it lies. This is very important. Respect your opponents and practise good etiquette. Most importantly HAVE FUN!

As a closing note, I feel I need not remind anyone that there is no tolerance for endangering another player’s wellbeing. Anyone who does so will face very strict and harsh penalties by me. If you run into any trouble on the course today don’t hesitate to summon me by either the alarm found on your cart or golf bag. I have several scouts spread out across the course and will also be patrolling the area to ensure safety to all our players.

Right! Now with that all out of the way, get out there, have fun, and buy a souvenir t-shirt!"

Rosemary didn't catch the woman's annoyance in the slightest. The brief explanation of the game didn't sound as though it was anything complicated, at least. Maybe with a bit of practice it would become easier.

She glances away, taking in the different people gathering. Their city was quite good at attracting outsiders to it. "I am," she replies. "It's Rosemary."

"Rosemary? I'm Urd." She followed the woman's line of sight, also watching the others gather for a moment. Arms folded, she glanced sidelong at Rosemary, eyebrow arched. She wasn't the most conversational woman, was she? In fact, Urd was getting a distinct feeling of blankness about her. Then again, she was the first native to this world that came to her first.

Smiling again, Urd tilted her head. "So you're gonna play with us? I'm surprised, I admit."

Being able to socialize came in handy with her line of work, although she hasn't spoken to the population as a whole in a long time; she didn't need to. She glances back to Urd, raising a brow. "I am. I do not believe many of the other natives will join, but I decided I would try it out."

Though... it was more of something 'suggested' to her. Still, she didn't find any reason that she should not participate, and now she was here.

"Well, you're welcome to tag along with me." Urd grinned, flipping the loose locks of hair unbound by her ponytail off her shoulders. Glancing back at the table, she jerked a thumb toward it. "Let's sign in. We can share a cart." Truthfully, she hadn't planned on using a cart at all, since flying around was much faster. With this human, though (and were the citizens of Paixao actually human? Sometimes she wondered...), she didn't think the woman would appreciate the goddess dragging her around several yards off of the ground.

She headed back to the table.
