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!" |

A1
That works for me.
[ He shifts into a ready position, Grayswandir leveled towards his opponent, and then he flashes the teen a winning smile. ]
Come and get me.
no subject
[Ken wasn’t expecting his opponent to go full out on him. Without his persona, he was an above average teenager with normal abilities. However, he still hoped his opponent wouldn’t underestimate his skills. Despite his young age, he could (or at least try!) to fight on equal ground with most adults!
That being said, he nodded before pointing his spear at him. Tournaments he was use to and he wasted no time in lunging forward toward Corwin.
Placing his weapon near the ground, he was hoping to knock the older man to he ground.]
no subject
Not bad, not bad. Give it another shot, and try not to telegraph your intentions this time.
no subject
[As Corwin dodged, the brunette gave him a pout. At least now he knew his opponent was an experienced fighter. While this does make it more difficult, he was determined to at least make a mark on him!
That said, he prepared to rush toward him once more before placing the blunt end of the spear on the ground. As he jumped up, he hoped the kick would throw him off guard.]
no subject
[ Against an average swordsman, Ken might have a better chance. But he's at least able to think creatively, by using the spear to launch himself into the air for a kick. It's a move that surprises Corwin, and he's much slower to dodge this time, parrying only at the last minute and knocking Ken's foot away with the guard of his blade.
He stumbles to the side, momentarily taken aback. But then he laughs, and smiles at Ken. ]
Better! I didn't see that one coming. Now, let's see how well you defend.
[ And in he goes for an attack, feinting left before lunging right. He's not aiming to actually harm Ken, but just to get close enough to tear at the fabric of his clothes. ]
no subject
Or at least, that was the plan before he was caught off guard when the man went straight for him!]
Oh crap..! [He shouted before quickly moving to the left and placing the side of his spear in front to protect himself. He didn't know how strong he was against Corwin but he hoped he would prevent the sword from moving any further.]
no subject
Again, he's not trying to do any real harm, just smack Ken with the flat of his blade and catch him off guard. He can do this all day, dancing in and out with his attacks, waiting for the moment when Ken will give in and forfeit. ]
no subject
Still, he glared at Corwin before quickly blocking his attack from the side once again.]
You're really good at this, aren't you? You're a really strong fighter! [He said before taking a few steps back. He really needed to find a way to attack but how? Not when he was just dodging things so easily...]
no subject
I wouldn't be the man I am, if I wasn't a strong fighter. The life I've lived... has included more fighting than any man would ever need to see. [ And then some. ]
no subject
However, that didn't make him lower his guard just yet. He continued to place his spear in front of him as if to suggest to Corwin to get ready for another attack. Still, he had to give a smile at him.]
That explains it but that's something admirable in a way. You're still fighting regardless of everything that happened to you. [He should know from experience.]
no subject
I guess I am. Though, if I hadn't been brought here, I'm not sure I could say the same.
[ He felt he had done just about enough fighting for one lifetime. ]
no subject
[He said before taking another step closer. He didn't want to attack him just yet as it wouldn't be fair to strike an opponent like this. However, he was a little curious to hear what his man had to say about his world...]
no subject
Let's just say I was planning on taking a nice, long break from fighting, after the battle of a lifetime.
no subject
[He said before attempting to throw his spear at him once more. While he didn't want to make his actions obvious, he was throwing his spear to the side. How long was Ken going to keep this up, she wasn't sure.
But he wanted to keep going for as long as he could. Just enough where Ken could at least impress him somehow!]
no subject
That's more like it!
no subject
As he continued to hit Cowrin from the sides, he was still struggling to find an opening.]
And you're certainly not making it easier to attack you either...!
no subject
Young man, would you prefer if I forfeited the match and left myself open to attack? That wouldn't be very sportsmanlike, now would it?
no subject
[He shouted as he continued to attack. Despite his many attempts, he had to admit, this was going nowhere. He really was nothing without his Persona, wasn't he?]
Are you just going to keep dodging like this until I give up?
no subject
[ Once he sees that Ken is getting exasperated, Corwin makes his move, lunging in quickly underneath the guard of the spear with the aim of sweeping Ken's legs out from underneath him. ]
no subject
[Ken really shouldn't have let his guard down. As he was ready to attack Corwin, that's when he found himself falling straight to the ground. The moment he does so, he was placed his spear in front of him.
He was fully expecting the older man to attack and take advantage of the situation but he wasn't too sure just yet.]
no subject
Do you yield yet?
no subject
Fine, I do. [He gave a slight mumble. He didn't want to admit it but he was really outmatched against him.] The important thing is that I tried, right?
no subject
You did! And it was a worthy effort. You've got real potential.
[ He honestly believes that. The fact that Ken kept it going for so long, and would have kept going even longer had Corwin not made his move speaks highly to his tenacity. ]
If you want some pointers, outside of the tournament setting, I'd be happy to share what I know.
no subject
You really think so? [He said as he got back up] If you could, I would love it! I haven't been able to train as efficiently as I could here so I'd love to learn how to get stronger!
no subject
[ He's not as experienced with a spear as his weapon of choice, but he can at least teach combat basics, that would apply no matter what weapon you use. ]
Give me a call sometime. My number is-- [ He cuts himself off and laughs. He's still not used to these modern smartphones that use usernames instead of numbers. ] I mean, you can find me as "silver rose."
