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.

seto kaiba | yu-gi-oh | ota
[ Kaiba's never really considered a tattoo before. It certainly wasn't appropriate in his line of work, but even he can't deny that they look stunning. And if they're temporary, if the fairies can be trusted, there wouldn't be any harm in it, right?
He's lightly pacing back and forth near the end of the line, watching as people leave with bright marks fluttering on their skin. It's tempting... ]
b. tea garden
[ Mind made up, he's signed up for a chance at glory. But that's not for a little while yet. For now he settles into the garden, taking a tentative sip of tea. It's not bad.
It's...quite good, actually. Here's where you'll see him finally relax, though he has to occasionally shift his cup to keep a certain blue dragon from trying to run away with it. Even as he tries to snatch it back, he laughs. ]
Brat.
c. sizing up
[ As much as he'd love a big payday, he knows better than to gamble on the tournament with such limited information (and with magic being a huge confounding factor). Instead, he's training to compete himself. But that doesn't stop him from watching the other rounds to size up the competition. ]
...hm. Almost anything goes when you have magical healers on hand. No sense of foreboding here.
[ Seems a bit short-sighted to him, but he lifts a brow as another fireball whizzes past. ]
d. wildcard
((ooc: feel free to create your own prompt or use another! he's training for the alchemist/kinetic round with Morgan and will definitely be salty about any glitter attacks. He's salty about most things. ))
one sore loser (closed to morgan)
So that left teaming up with a kinetic mage. He'd found someone who radiated confidence and was willing to put in the work. It had been a promising start.
But in the end, it all blew up in their faces. Kaiba had been trying to fortify their faltering soldier when his hand slipped on a glyph, and their warrior exploded. He'd managed to duck away from most of the shrapnel, but it still stung.
He thrust out a hand to Morgan as they were dismissed, containing the lunch coupon. "You can take it. I'm not hungry."

Kaiba pulled his coat a little tighter around himself. "I'm..."
He choked a little around the word, and it took a moment to continue. "I apologize for losing focus. That should've been winnable."
Oh, there's anger all right. But at the moment it's all directed one way.

[ Naoto was about to get in line, but he didn't know where it started or where it ended thanks to the man in front of him. He was trying his best with not showing his slight irritation, but it was probably not working. ]
no subject
I'm not in line. Trying to decide if I want to be.
no subject
[ He shrugs and takes the next available spot. Finally, a chance to get a neat tattoo! He looks at the guy afterwards, curiosity getting the better of him. ]
Are you having trouble wondering if you want it permanent or not?
no subject
[ He decides to join the line for now. It's not moving that fast. ]
I heard they move? And where I'm from, the marks can have a cultural meaning that causes misunderstandings at times.
You decided on a design?

tea garden
When he sees a dragon in a similar playful state as his own familiar, he suspects it's natural? Maybe? With a long stick he picked up from the previous "room", of sorts, he pokes around the ground before deciding it's safe.]
Sorry to interrupt! [Kise waves once he knows there are no traps and pranks around, offering a friendly smile despite his predicament.] Have you seen, uhhh, tall woman? Curly brown hair, floating around, dress made of wind? I know it sounds stupid but it's my familiar and she's been in high spirits, so to say., and she's been making a bit of a mess in the gardens.
no subject
...I haven't, but I'll look.
What kind of mess?
[ He looks around...nothing's too unusual from his seat, but Mercury is looking around with clear interest. ]
no subject
So, she thought it would be extremely funny to set up pranks all over the place. Two guys fell into the fountain, I ran into a wall three times by now, one kid, who was admittedly rude, dropped his sweets after tripping on a rope.
[He glances around the room, trying to see if there's any kind of shimmer to signify illusion.] What I'm trying to say is- I'm worried she'll escalate the pranks when simple ones lose their novelty. She tricked my friend into thinking she's naked once.
no subject
Seriously? And I thought the glitter balloons were bad.
[ He looks around defensively, and then---he crashes to the ground and drops his teacup, his chair having suddenly moved. ]
Mmf---
Found her.

Tea Garden
When he notices a dragon in a similar mood today as with Rose, he assumes that it might be normal for most familiars to be playful and mischievous at times. He looks around the garden to see if she is still out there before approaching Kaiba for help.)
Hey, have you seen a little Pygmy Puff in the garden? Pink fluffy fur, very friendly and cheeky, squeaks a lot, and likes to snuggle up to people? That’s my familiar and she is really small. I think that she might be wanting to play hide and seek with me.
no subject
I would've noticed pink. How fast does she move, and when did you last see her?
no subject
Well, I was on the line in getting a cuppa when she decides to have a run around the gardens on her own and I only noticed that she was gone after I claimed the tea. She is quite a little cheeky critter.
no subject
{ He looks around for little flashes of pink...nothing jumps out immediately, but he does eventually hear a little rustling in his coat.
There's a squeak coming from under the table. Mercury crawls to the edge to poke her head under, tail flicking curiously. ]
...is that the squeak?

paint
[She had noticed the young man pacing as she left the fairies, her face painted to look like a starry sky. It was covered with stars and a crescent moon on her forehead with a little sun on her cheekbone. She had giggled as she left, but stopped short in front of Seto.]
Do you need some help deciding what you want painted on? The nice fairies did a good job!
[Hers were actually pretty amateur, but she liked them all the same. Besides, it was temporary so she didn't mind. It reminded her of the magic back home.]
no subject
Kaiba thought for a moment about how to respond. ]
I know what I would want...the issue is deciding whether I want to risk it. Have you noticed any side effects?
tea garden
Leave his tea alone and go for this, eh? They're for you anyway. [But she's laughing at the idea--and once his dragon takes it, she has another for her own familiar, who's still dancing around at her feet.]
How've you been?
no subject
Could be better. I'm getting by, but my job doesn't have much room for growth.
[ He looks out at the tables. ]
Did you two settle in well enough?
no subject
[Isabel shrugs at that, a wry smile on her face. She's persisting and doing some odd jobs like busking or lending a hand if someone needs one. It's nothing fantastic but it does put food on the proverbial table... She slides in next to him, breaking her last biscuit in two, sliding half over to Mercury and giving the rest to her fluffy dragon.]
So what do you think of all the fanfare? [She makes a lazy gesture around the garden and lifts her arm to encompass the rest of the tournament grounds.]

Ah? So you do know how to laugh once in a while, huh?
[Spoken with that sisterly teasing tone she takes when intending to yank someone's chain.]
no subject
Or he tries, anyway. She's dancing out of the way to get the new person's attention! ]
She's a handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
[ A polite nod. He is, after all, in better spirits. ]
How did you settle in?
no subject
Oh, me? Pretty well, I guess. I've been to less hospitable places, that's for sure. And I have friends here, so that's a definite plus this time. Sure beats the world I came from last, at any rate.
[Irhya walks up to meet the dragon halfway, studying her with interest.]
Such a pretty girl... Does she have a name?
