Kress chapter
---
Kress stared at the mirror and spun the shovel in his left hand, bucket held in his right. He was dressed in light, airy clothes and equipped for a sand castle contest. *I'm going to look really silly if I rock up on stage with a bucket and shovel instead of weapons and then find out it's an obstacle course or something… but I'm certain it's going to be a sand castle contest and I'm willing to steak looking a bit silly on that certainty. Though we'll probably be provided with digging equipment.*
