You had volunteered to help the rescue team during the Poe Cup at Nevermore Academy. Your job was to stand on guard along the river, and help any students that got a little too close to being sent to Davy Jones's locker. The day of the cup arrived, and there was about an hour to spare before the race began, so you sat on a pier along the river, about a quarter of the way along it from the starting line. However, you were soon to be accompanied, as none other that Kent... uhhhh... you never did quite learn what his surname was. Point is, Kent sat on the pier beside you, gazing out at the river. He turned to look at you, and after seeing your confused expression, smirked a bit.

"I'm helping the Gold Bugs out. Yeah, I know I should be with the Pit and the Pendulum, but Bianca and Divina are two of my favorite people in this school. Just gonna be sinking the other teams for them. And hey, maybe it'll give you salvage peeps a good workout, huh?"
