Guard Toad:
I see your concern. But this goes against our motto. "All are welcome here". If it is safety you are worried about, be at ease. There is no place in the world more secure than a Roshambo Temple. And particularly this Roshambo Temple is under the protection of the Great One. You said he robbed a bank? What would he come here to steal? A title? A better appreciation for the art of Roshambo? No, I think not. Such things can't be taken by force.
Guard Toad:
Now what about you? Why have you come to our little competition? By the looks of it, you came from very far away.

Guard Toad:
Ah, in that case, please take a look at our menu. One second.
Guard Toad quickly scurries away. Then you catch another toad motioning to you out of the corner of your eye.
Café Toad:
Welcome to the Roshambo Temple Café. Would you like to order something?

Hmph. The ancients of this nation really competed in something as basal as Rock Paper Scissors? The things I do for social studies credits. Hey! Whoever it is running this place! I wish to Enter! Hopefully there's a extravagant trophy for the winner... who will be me of course.

Café Toad notices the newcomer and quickly darts back in temple through the Café doors.
A few moments later, Guard Toad emerges from other side of the temple.
Guard Toad:
Ah hello there! I've got you signed up! I see you're also interested in learning about some history? In that case, I have some useful information for you!
Guard Toad:
Rock Paper Scissors, or Roshambo, has been a long running practice for many centuries. It is said that the oldest form of the game was "Rock, Bigger Rock, Biggest Rock". Although, the mechanics were a little broken. As time went by, people began to loose interest. And soon, those who still practiced the game died and the art of Roshambo was completely lost to paper-kind. In the past century however, a few surviving texts were discovered and through modern technology were translated to rebuild what was lost. Roshambo has become wildly popular in the last decade or so and many variants of the game were created. The most popular of them being Roshambo Battle Royal, which is what this competition is.
You know, I could stand here all day talking about all the fascinating stories of Roshambo, but you know, I've got things to do! It was nice meeting you!
Guard Toad bolts off again. And in three seconds flat, Café Toad emerges from the depths of the Cafe.
Café Toad:
Now where were we? Aw, yes! You were just looking at our menu, my fine green friend! Did anything catch your eye?

Café Toad:
One Scissor Cut Sandwich and Paper Pulp Juice coming right up! Some people say there are benefits from eating the food made here. There was this one guy that exclusively ate Rocky Road for a week, thinking that it he would never get beaten by scissors again. It worked, in a way. But he would instantly flake at the sight of paper. The poor guy quit after that. If you ask me, it's all in your head.
You got... Scissor Cut Sandwich! It is said to give you a slight buff against Paper, but makes you slightly weaker against Rock.

"What a fascinating tournament! I have finished dressing up for the occasion, and I should be ready. I'm glad I didn't finish reading the results, it wouldn't have been any fun if I knew I won or lost!
It's already awkward knowing I had to play regardless, judging by my appearance in those archive files. And I was simply trying to pass the time...
My name? Donna Quinones, Temporal Agent. I've met some of you before, and will apparently meet some of you in your past and my future. Ten years beyond this point I discovered in an archive file that I played in this tournament. And thus, I am here to participate!"

Café Toad rushes back inside. Guard Toad emerges from the side of the Temple to meat the newcomer.
Well, Ms. Quinones. It's nice to meet you. So you are a diviner? I have a burning question to ask you. Do I grow a mustache in 10 years?

Graphite Guy:
A time traveler ey? Then tell me fair lady, does the name of GRAPHITE GUY, the MASTER of Kenetic astetic, hold any meaning? Does it strike FEAR into all? Is it followed by FAME and GLORY? Surely it must!

"Nay, not a diviner. A time traveler, as the other one said.
And to answer your question, the future cannot be told to the past! There is mallability in the unobserved and unstated. That is why I do not know who wins. I did not read it, and thus, it is not set in stone for me! But should I tell you of what I know of you, you would never be able to shake that.
For example, when I tell the Toad that he successfully grows the greatest mustache since Toadsworth's...
Ah. Whoops."

It's a sham.
You heard that. Sí. It is all a sham. There is no technique practiced here. That is why they call it ro-sham-bo. It is a lie. It does not exist.

You wish you could forget the falsehoods you haven't been taught, don't you? Forget la mentira.
Sí, you want to return. Return to what never happened before it didn't happen. Uncast the sign that you never cast. Forget the mustache. There is no mustache. There will be no mustache.
Forget the crime. No crime happened. Crime? It's a myth. No such thing as crime. Mustaches. Crime. Studies. Poof. They are vanished.
They were all a sham. They never were. That is the art of roshambo. You seek a teacher of roshambo?
Close your eyes and look no further, amigo. He is here. He is vanished already. Like magic. You understand, amigo?

Your teacher is here. Rock Paper Erazard.
¿Se acuerda de mí? You remembered to forget, amigo. Good. You will be a fine student.
...
Eh? MBMB3? Speed Eraser? I do not know the name. It is non-canon. I forget it. You too will forget with the art of roshambo. It is good to forget.

Guard Toad:
Oh wow! An actual Wizard showed up! And looking for students? Well you've come to the right place! But mind you, this is a competition. It might be tough to pick up a student. Good luck to you.
Hmm... Somehow you remind me of someone. But I can't seem to recall who... I have this strong feeling that I should keep a closer eye on the food. I feel like it might vanish at any moment or something. But I don't know why? What am I missing???
Ah, well. It'll come to me at 2 in the morning.
