... sorry about that. This week's had a rough start with the automatic oversharing.

Oh dear. [ help ] Nothing to worry about. Friends of yours?
Yes, certainly. [ everyone's a weirdo. affectionate. ] And you would be correct - though, I might be able to make an assumption. Is it a sporting event...? A bit like an arena style tournament?
[ whats it like to be in a world where people dont battle to the death all the time ]
I see. [ fascinating... he sounds very genuinely interested, because this is wild. ] And this is where your bottle comes in, yes? The one you have here? What sort of sport is it...?
The bottle I have here is my Bottleman, yeah. It's broken though - don't know if it's the place, or if something else happens. It won't come out of liquefied form.
[ It made him realize how important Dragogina still is to him, which just makes him more worried about this liquefied plastic soda. ]
Bottlemen are little devices for shooting bottle caps. You use them in a variety of ways - tests of speed, power, accuracy... In bottle royales, for example, you can use precise aiming to activate traps and disqualify other players from the game until you're the last one standing.

[ We are all from weirdo trope canons here!! ]
Those were the top bottle battlers, preparing for a tournament. Though I suspect this context explains nothing.
