When Valentine came on stage to receive the award, the crowd below erupted with curses and sobs, which finally merged into a single phrase:
"Refund!" "Refund!" "Goddamnit, refund!"
Apprentice Gold had to snatch the [Amplification Technique] microphone. "Honorable customers, we stated clearly in the contract that services interrupted due to force majeure are not eligible for a refund. And, uh... that 'force majeure' just gave us an award! But the cups are still usable, you know. If there are any quality issues, you can come find us."
Rorschach stood beside the group, smirking silently. 'This team is heading into seclusion at the Vox Factory's secret research institute for at least two months. Good luck finding them.'
Valentine still had that punchable smile on his face. He took back the microphone: "Let me say a few words!"
