Trumpets blow loudly to introduce the start of the tournament day. Everyone is invited to watch or participate. Those who would like to sign up need simply sign in for the competition they seek to join in on. Sign ups open at 8am, though you can sign up any time before the start of your competition category. There are different prizes listed for each category!

In the sign-up area before the tournaments begin, there will be a number of entertainment shows going on: Some of the fae who were invited are giving enchanted body paintings. Once the painting is finished, they will travel across your body like a living tattoo. Please be sure to specify if you would like it to be permanent or temporary, and exactly what you want-- especially if you want a permanent one.

In addition to the body painting, there will be a number of clowns playing pranks and giving out balloons that, when popped, completely cover the surrounding 5 feet in glow-in-the-dark glitter that smells of your favorite scent. Each one will smell different depending on who is smelling it. What's more is the glitter actually dissolves after 12 hours, so you don't have to worry about it never getting out of anything. Amazing!

There are additional dance shows and parades going on through the town and near the sign-up area to draw people in, and little pop-up shops with merch you can buy to support the tournament-- cool t-shirts, sunglasses, hats, keychains, and more. Don't forget to download the Tournament Bets app so you can place money on your favorites to win and make bank! Maybe save some for the tavern afterward if things don't work out, though... or before you make any decisions, check out the castles' royal tea garden, beautifully decorated in a wide variety of wintery florals, which is set up and serving a delightful medley of teas with soothing effects. Just be careful-- each table has a magic grapevine that will communicate with another table, so you may end up hearing someone else's secrets on the grapevine... or just ending up with a fun conversation if you notice it before you say something you don't want to share.


As the tournament gets underway, it starts off with all of the multiview screens taking focus on the royal viewing box. In it stands a man that we have not yet seen before, but who stands with an air of dignity. He's wearing a suit, and a crown, and looks confident despite that he has many reasons to be hesitant- he is back from the dead, after all.

"My name is Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot. Many of you may have heard of me from your worlds I'm told, and many still may not have, but I will begin with an apology. I should have been there for those of you who arrived months ago and have been bravely pursuing this battle without leadership. I am afraid a few millennia of culture shock have thrown me off course and the Advent of the Kardashians in my studies has not helped these matters. But that is little excuse. From here on out, I will be with you in your journeys. Those who have questions of me, I will be offering an..."

Merlin's voice comes in off-camera to help him out, since he's still not sure on all the lingo, offering "AMA" to assist, then Arthur continues.

"An AMA to you all in the coming days. But for the time being, let us celebrate the wins and strides you all have made with a tournament. Those brave enough to enter, I hope to see you vying for knighthood and fighting alongside me in the days to come. For the love of Camelot!"
The video ends and the first tournament event begins. The categories and prizes are as follows:
Close-Quarters Melee (No Magic): Any non-projectile weapon is allowed. All combatants meet on a sand lot surrounded by stands. The last combatant standing wins. Prize: 500,000G; (Item) Enchanted Sword, courtesy of the royal blacksmith and permanently enchanted by Merlin (Winner can choose what kind of effect they want upon contact with blade! IC choice, but must be approved by mods)

Physical Healing: All physical wounds will be divided among healers. Participation in this event will yield monetary payment of 10,000G per person regardless of win, as it is an essential service. The first person to complete their patient load will win the competition. Prize: 50,000G; (Recipe) Protective Charm

Long-Range Firing Competition: Archers, gunsmen, slingshot, or any other projectile-firing weapons or magic may be used for precision aiming at long-distance targets, both still and moving. It is not permitted to fire at other competitors, but distracting, blocking, and otherwise creating interference with curses, shields, and so on is permitted. Causing injury to other competitors will result in disqualification. Prize: 50,000G; (Item) Locked-and-Loading Projectile Purse

Lunch: Lunch break! There are plenty of food stands available for anyone to purchase whatever food their heart desires, but for the competitive lot, there is a hot dog eating contest to participate in or enjoy. Let the ref know if you would prefer vegan hot dogs, as they are available. Prize: 20,000K; (Recipe) Instant Loperamide

Animal & Hypnotic Obstacle Course: This one is for the animal and cognitive users. Use animal magic to direct a blindfolded animal or hypnotized peer through an obstacle course. Whichever team finishes the course first is the winner. (No one will question whether or not the hypnotized participant is there willingly, but make sure you discuss OOC.) Prize: 50,000G; (Recipe) Enchanted Gold Rose

Dark & Light Submission: Dark magic users will be given instructions to utilize shadow magic to essentially swallow their light opponent into a vat of darkness and pull them into pitch-black dungeons underground. Light magic users are to utilize their light magic to overwhelm the shadows and prevent themselves from being pulled under. Light magic users are given intsructions to create hardlight bindings to stop their dark magic opponents from controlling the shadows. Whoever secures their opponent first wins. (Multiple winners.) Prize: 10,000G; (Potion) Countercurse

Alchemy & Kinetic Animated Battles: An alchemist and a kinetic user pair up to alchemize a warrior of their choosing. It can be made of any material you like-- stone, straw, brick, mud, steel, whatever, but it must be made to be mobile and armed as you please, as kinetic users will then be tasked with animating various parts of the body and fighting the alchemists's creations against each other. Prize: 50,000G to each member of the winning team; (Potion) Animatia

Single Element Knock-Out: Elemental magic users may select one element to fight with. Each magic user is given their own platform in a pool. The goal is to knock your opponents into the water. Note: The water of the pool is not usable in the competition; using the pool will result in disqualification. You can jump from platform to platform to avoid hits but leaving the pool area will result in disqualification. Prize: 50,000G; (Recipe) Glowstick

Magical Melee: Like the close-quarters free-for-all, any magic type may join in. All combatants meet on a sand lot surrounded by stands. The last mage standing wins. Prize: 500,000G; (Item) Channeling Staff

Anyone who participates will get the following: A big thank you, a free meal ticket redeemable at any food stand during lunch, and (Recipe) Cool Firework.
Reminder that players who want their character to win should sign up on the plotting post here. You can thread anything out on the log. Please sign up before 11:59pm on Friday 1/22. Results will be drawn live if we can figure out an easy way to do that and posted on Saturday.

Gokudera is clearly irritated, and he puts a hand to his neck, like he could feel the tattoo, even though he can’t.

“Why do you care? Leave me alone.” He says, unintentionally loud as the other guy invades his space. Gokudera’s not going to let him touch any part of him. If Crow does, he’s going to get punched.
milkmycattle: edited by me (dark look)

[personal profile] milkmycattle 2021-01-25 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I could, but I would need to step out on stage shirtless. That's not really my style.

[It would be sexy, but Crow is a little too self-conscious to do something like that. Although Darin's comments do pique his interest. Hate angels?]

My stage backstory is that I'm a fallen angel that changes the stagnant world into a new one. But why do you hate angels?

[Woah, this is getting deep. Crow eyes the scar with a sorrowful look.]

Your father and your brother? Sorry, man, didn't mean to bring up any bad memories.

(That was a lot easier than it looks. Harry is relieved to see that Ken is finally able to get over his initial worries to pet Rose after the glitter disaster. Rose squeaks happily as the younger teen strokes her fur and she enjoys it tremendously.)

Thanks Ken, I am really glad to have her by my side all the time. She is really a good friend to be with through good times and bad times.
bakudan_bambino: (a penny saved is worth two in the bush)

[personal profile] bakudan_bambino 2021-01-25 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Gokudera isn’t offering, but it wouldn’t take either of them to make Hijikata’s stomach growl. He’d notice and offer. Right now, though, he’s a bit distracted by the conversation and his struggle to understand it.]

The tattoo?

[He shakes his head.]

No. I may not have been very clear in my description.

[Gokudera isn’t eager to admit that, but it’s not like the skulls share things all the time. It’s just every so often they say something odd. It’s definitely not all truthful, but more a means to grab attention. They’re funny and cool at the same time.]

[personal profile] inemeraldfaith 2021-01-25 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[It's literally... everywhere. Just a shower of sparkling glitter that looks both beautiful and slightly horrifying. Just an explosion of what's now managed to cover them both.

Her drake has a miniature celebration. Or tantrum. It's hard to tell with the way he nestles further into her ponytail.]


Yeah, oop—

[Tifa finds her shoulder and as Aerith is finding her way back to her own vision, she's smiling, the glittered mess that she is, reflected in current company, too. Tifa probably got the worse end of it, honestly.

It's going to take forever to wash all of that out. ...Smells nice, though.]


Sorry about that! I didn't realise that'd happen. Guess an apology is moot, though, right? You okay?

[Better that it was Tifa, maybe, and not someone who doesn't know her at all. Someone unfamiliar with Aerith might not have been as forgiving.]
patchricide: (121)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-01-25 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I sincerely doubt it's that effective. Besides that, the effects seem to be temporary, so even if I were to try something so underhanded, it would only be causing problems for myself later. It's far better suited for gathering information.

[She folds her arms.]

You're the one giving me such trouble for a simple request!
milkmycattle: (Not up for your shit)

[personal profile] milkmycattle 2021-01-25 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Why does he care? Well, that's a good question. It's just odd! And like a trainwreck, he can't help but stare and be more interested. However, Crow responds to Gokudera in the same way, his tone getting louder and he becomes annoyed himself.

"Tch. Like I care if you have you have a target on your back! Better hope that skull doesn't reveal anything else embarrassing!"

It's not like Crow pointing and laughing was helping silver haired brat in that regard anyway.

[personal profile] inemeraldfaith 2021-01-25 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[At least she isn't the only one extremely fascinated by the tattoos. Some of them are very elaborate. Some are a little more symbol. Aerith can't imagine having something permanent, but the idea of a cute little lily tattoo on her shoulder doesn't seem terrible.

In the midst of dusting herself off, she grins.]


Me too. Don't worry about it, I'm right as rain! Were you thinking about getting one?

[She motions indicatively toward the body painting.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (Face tomorrow)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-01-25 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
... ... ...

[Something about this irked him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. There were still so many others out on the grounds, why didn't she approach any of them? Why did she chase him? This lady doesn't even know who he is but she keeps crossing his path.]

[Though...the money from the win would be beneficial in setting up his forge. Especially if it's coupled with his earnings from the healing tournament...]

[Hm...]


One more condition. If we win, you let me see the recipe for that flower. As a blacksmith, I'm interested in how these recipes can be crafted. You don't have to give it to me, all I want is to be present when it's made.

[He holds out a hand.]

Deal?
bakudan_bambino: (yuck)

[personal profile] bakudan_bambino 2021-01-25 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Gokudera’s tone is not getting louder because he is irritated. He’s just loud because he can’t hear himself very well. He still has little idea what the tattoo has said, and even if it were giving away some secrets, what is he even supposed to do?

Go away.” He makes a shooing motion with his hand at Crow.
emet_sulk: (11 the faintest smile)

(jsyk I'm canon familiar so don't worry about spoilers)

[personal profile] emet_sulk 2021-01-25 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ His gaze roams across her and takes in the...garish fashion choice, but especially the fake nails which are entirely unsuited to combat. An eyebrow is raised but no comment made. Who is he to complain about (what he thinks will be) an easy victory?

He recognises her name but refrains from commenting on it for now. ]


Indeed. May the best man or woman win.

[ He has fired crossbows before, a long time ago. Long ago in mortal years anyway. The pistol is what he's currently more accustomed to but he's been steadily growing used to the crossbow again.

At word from the tourney official he loads and readies his weapon, waiting for the signal to start. ]
emet_sulk: (19 now listen carefully)

[personal profile] emet_sulk 2021-01-25 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Rolling his eyes, he elbows Hythlodaeus in the stomach.

"I'm surprised the word is even in your vocabulary, let alone a known concept." But he laces his fingers with his friend and tilts his head slightly to the fae folk working. "If you were to get one yourself, what image would you choose?"
weenwoon: (worst best friend)

[personal profile] weenwoon 2021-01-25 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
He laughs at the jab, smug yet delighted, very much like a teenager fooling around with his friend. The question, though, gets Hythlodaeus's attention, and instead of answering immediately... he squats down, one hand still in Hades's, and offers the other to the gwiber to climb upon.

"Is the answer not obvious?"
serpentinthegarden: (Breezy hair)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-01-25 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
The deflection might have worked if only Ken hadn't earlier said...

"Nah! It's more than that! If you only got it because it looked cool then you wouldn't have known what it was."

The demon smirked, proud of his clever self.

"You might have agreed that was a Power Ranger."
scotch_egg: (clever glasses)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-25 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, why are they angry? [he reached out and scratched the bird's neck] Maybe start with that.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Don't fail me now beautiful wings)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-01-25 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Because they're the ones that took my family from me.

[There's no mirth in Darin's tone. It's the one thing he bears a grudge against; that he's an unwitting pawn in a war he never had any say in. And in being one, he lost everything and continues to lose more.]

If you ask me, Celestials or...angels or whatever they're called? They can be just as bad as archfiends sometimes.

But hey, I like the stage backstory. Makes it sound like angels can actually do some good if given the chance, you know?
forgeabettertomorrow: (son of a...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-01-25 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
... ... ...

[He sighs and dons an apron and large gloves.]

There. Happy?

[The second Zel turns his back they're coming off.]
scotch_egg: (you can't be serious)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-25 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Is it?" He was always surprised to hear that, surprise mixed with trepidation. He shoved his hands in his pockets. Then wrinkled his nose as more glitter cascaded from his sleeves.

"I hate this stuff. It can't be healthy for it to go everywhere." Well there was no help for it until he got home and got a shower. But he'd already made a promise so--

"Where should we start?"
serpentinthegarden: (Another good profile)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-01-25 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Only seven years?

[ Crowley's smirk almost turned into a laugh. It was such an amazingly short time! ]

Aziraphale and I have broken up... uh, last one lasted about a day, the one before that... hundred years or so, point is, if it's meant to be she'll forgive you. And if it's not meant to be...

[ His finger stabbed the air in the direction of a target. One clown off by himself with an entire flock of balloons floating over his head ready to torment people. ]

There are always clowns to annoy. Go get him.

scotch_egg: (you rang)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-25 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing that can help it but time. Unless you've got an aspirin on you. [he couldn't help but be a little annoyed by her hovering, though she isn't nearly as insufferable as Miller about it]
mayoninofukucho: (Let me think.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2021-01-25 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Between how loudly Gokudera addressed him when he first arrived and him having to elaborate on the tattoo Hijikata is slowly figuring out that the boy is probably a little hard of hearing, so he makes a better effort to speak loudly and clearly.]

I hope it's not permanent?

[And there goes his stomach, growling like on command. Okay, this is embarrassing; he's really coming across as being in dire straits here... why is it harder for him to fit into a relatively normal world like Avalon than into Prismatica with its crazy moonblessing shenanigans? To be fair, they had a spectacular amount of permanent apartments for the new arrivals, so there was no sense of temporary housing to it, and it was so easy to generate Chroma and be affluent, even for a socially stunted reserved person like him. It's not like he has no marketable skills here, but he's far from the only capable swordsman around.]

( no doubt the art is beautiful — she got here early, out of habit more than anything else, and lucked out on one of the first spots of the day — but being painted is a far cry from the needle and ink of the other two tattoos she has. it tickles, the brush dragging between her shoulderblades as she does her damnedest to stay stone still.

like Ainsworth when he shifts into a wall. just like that.

but freezing in place — almost literally, as her back is fully exposed to the winter elements at this booth, and it takes just as much effort not to shiver as it does not to twitch at the bristles against her skin — means that her current view is little more than the back of this guy's booth, decorated in all sorts of sample designs for people to choose from. which is to say, she hears Louis, rather than sees him.
)

Does it matter if it's permanent? 'S your skin.
scarredhorns: (Teehee)

I. tattoos (Nyuu)

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-01-25 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound cool.

[Nyuu had her head turned away from Darin, but now she's facing him. It's definitely the same face as Lucy's, but Nyuu's eyes carry a certain brightness to them that Lucy's do not, and her tone of voice is different too, slightly higher than Lucy's monotonous one. Nyuu doesn't seem as shy to be more expressive either, giving Darin a kind smile.]

I actually already have a tattoo, but they said they could still enchant it. They haven't done anything yet, but here it is.

[She turns her body slightly since it's on the back of her right shoulder, showing a mermaid with her back turned to the viewer. Nyuu's long pink hair has been styled into a bun so it doesn't get in the way, and she's been given a one-shoulder shirt for the time being (because with the current cold weather, she certainly hadn't been wearing that beforehand).]

I still want the mermaid to sit on her rock, but to flick her tail against it every so often and to make it look as though the wind is blowing through her hair, as she stares down at the clam and pearl in her hand. But I'd also like her to swim around my body, so to make it look as though she's underwater, I've asked the artists to add some enchanted bubbles that will trail behind her.

(Maybe Crowley does have a point: Maybe there is a chance of Ginny forgiving him for being a terrible ex in not informing her of things. Who knows. Then the clown is out there, ready to scare people with glitter showers. Not on his watch.

Rose squeaks to him, telling that it’s his chance to get even on the clowns who are popping the glitter balloons on people and did the same to them earlier. Harry sneaks in behind the clown’s back slowly and quietly before he manipulates the fingers to let go of the glitter balloons and trading them for red balloons.)

B. Tea garden (Lucy); lemme know if I should change it

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-01-25 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Lucy had a table to herself, though she wasn't completely alone. Her two pet dogs, Milly and Tobias, were relaxing near her chair. She'd never heard of blooming flower tea, until now. The waiter had placed a small, clear teapot filled with hot water on her table, added a wad of dried tea leaves with dried flowers wrapped inside, and she just watched it bloom. It only took five minutes, but something about watching the flowers bloom made her instantly relax.

She struck up a conversation with her dogs, speaking in a low voice that only they could hear (or so she thought). With her animal magic, she could actually understand them and hear their replies as if they spoke like normal. More often than not, Lucy found animals more tolerant than people, so she told her dogs everything, even before she had obtained animal magic. With one elbow on the table and one side of her face resting on the open palm of her hand, she stared at the lovely blooming teapot.

"I'm glad that some of my friends are here, but I'm worried about Kouta. Nyuu said the last thing she remembered were masked men with guns storming the house."
