The Path Unending (A Cultivation Quest)

[X] I stand before you, healed of the changes forced on me when we last met. I am not a Blood artist, nor was I aided by one. I was healed by a charm I crafted. There are many Paths, but the one we walk is perhaps unique in its diversity, in its ability to rise to any challenge with a unique solution. Ultimately, the only limit is our creativity and our skill. Today, I look forward to seeing yours shine.
 
[X] Stand and greet everyone loudly and clearly. Speak about charmcrafting and it's potential, it's nature as art and creation. Talk about the competition and how it's not simply a demonstration a skill but a forum in which to demonstrate the drive to excel. Finally show respect to each contestant and their team in turn.

If this write in gains traction, please change fourm to forum.

I'm still waiting to see other possible write ins, but I'm all for advocating creative Kong style crafting. Maybe mention our current appearance is the result of a charm too, though it's to be noted that due to the incredible material we got from our family, it's unlike anyone else can come close, even before we talk skill.
 
"The six of you have the potential to stand on the same ground as Fan Zhao and Kong Zhi. You have the talent. Your skills have been recognized. All you need is the proper resources- resources that will be yours should you emerge triumphant from our final task."

[X] Congratulate the contestants on making it this far to the final. In their last contest they impressed you with their creativity, and now you expect them to impress you once again. If they don't, you'll be very disappointed.

We've got bragging rights by virtue of our fucking phenomenal charm. Let's be the arrogant young master for today.
 
[X] Congratulate the finalists on their achievements to date and the work that they have produced. Compliment the artistry that they have demonstrated with their submissions. Warn them of the dangers in complacency and challenge them to continue to push their limits.

Ta Riou over here having a religious experience seeing Kong Zhi's new body. I'm not even exaggerating, generating anam like that likely requires an immense amount of emotion, something on the level of a life-changing experience for a person.

Meanwhile, Kong Zhi has noticed the existence of teenage hormones! Given his standard approach to social situations, that'll end in embarrassment for somebody. Probably multiple somebodies.
 
Crafting is more then a job or a way to make money. It is our life and literally our body. Show the world how far crafting can go and dare the contestants to put in just as much passion as we do.

[x] Flex on these bright eyed guppies with your unimpeachable masterwork, and dare them to get on your level. You've blown yourself out the water, and you plan to do it again. Think they can keep up?

'aight, like, I'm not really for any particular write in, but I have to chip in here and say I'm markedly against this one - it's way too private and intimate for KZ to ever bust out in a big public speech to a bunch of randos. Super, super against everything we've spent the last 18 months establishing as KZ's character.
 
[X] We came here, and we built a pretty good charm (Slam down Dance). You know what we did after that? We built something better (pull out Fractal). You know what we'll do next? Build something even better. This, as much as skill or resources, is what makes a charmcrafter. Regardless of what how you do in this tournament or how good your charm is, this is what we expect. To take what your best, and then and do better.
 
[X] Congratulate the contestants on their work so far and your hopes that they have been able to use these last few weeks to show us their full potential today. Tell them that Charmcrafting may be a difficult path, but it is a path you find well worth the effort and you hope to see them continue to improve.
-[X] Cycle from Ta Riou as you talk, what is that Anam?
 
Sometimes I am not the standard bearer for Team W. Wynter, I like your style.

[X] "Congratulations to all that have made it here, and even to those that have not. It has been no doubt an arduous journey, filled with sacrifice and determination. I want you to know that, no matter the outcome, that is not the end of your journey. The true journey is the path of Artist, the person who reaches beyond his grasp, walks the furthest, and see more then the others. That is the true winner.
 
[X] Continuously Shatter the Mirror, each new Kong Zhi adds to the speech till you run out of anam and then you try to tie is all together by bringing it back to the virtues of charmcrafting

[X] congratulate the contestants on their work so far. Praise that how far they have come is already an accomplishment, but warn them to never rest on their laurels for there are always greater heights to achieve.

Wanted a vote about pushing them to keep imrpoving

I do not like this one. Zhi is a fairly private person and more than that, people outside of our inner circle dont know our first transformation was forced on us. This feels very out of character to me.
 
[jk]Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.

With some flavor from the non-personal parts of this one.

I agree with the others that talking about his changes or the charm is too personal.

I'm also unsure if it is concealed in his clothing or not, if a thief steals it off of him can they use it to mess with him?

(edit to fix forum typo)

You have never really thought about it before, but here, in the water and mud, with Nokai pinned beneath you, you are forced to confront one fact that hadn't really registered with you before this very moment.

Nokai is...

You let go of your friend like she's suddenly hotter than a coal and fall back, behind landing squarely in the creek as the knowledge squashes your competitive fire like it never existed. Nokai takes advantage of your change in position to sit up, leaving the mud behind with a squelching noise. The muck does nothing to dim her smile; she could not possibly look any more pleased.
And Zhi wonders why all those rumours start.
