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!" |

Yeah, she was startled by the balloons popping all the sudden that she literally froze in shock by the time the glitter rained down on us. Isn’t that right, Rose?
(The little Pygmy Puff nods back to her master from her current position on Harry’s right shoulder. She still can’t get over the whole glitter shower at all.)
no subject
It seems like it, she’s saying she can’t stand it!
[Meanwhile, here Jack Frost was, standing in the background looking at the glitter on the floor. Feeling mischievous, he decided to grab a nearby balloon.
Will he pop it? Who knows but it didn’t stop the familiar looking like he was going to!]
no subject
(While he may not speak animal fluently, having Rose as his familiar has allowed to understand her feelings and thoughts for the last two months. Yeah, it took some time for him to get used to having an adorable loyal familiar as a Hedwig replacement, but it is better than nothing at all.
And yes, she is adorable when sneezing glitter.)
no subject
[At the same time, Ken looked at the pink familiar wondering if he should pet her or not. As he was trying to reach his hand out to her, there was the snowman approaching ever so closer in the background toward them with a balloon!]
no subject
The calming sensation from it eventually lets her to relax a little more. She is still unnerved by the glitter shower, but at least she is a lot calmer than before.)
I am hoping that this kind of glitter is washable. Oh boy, by the way, she does enjoy being petted a lot, and not just by me. Anyone can pet her, it is just that she gets a little excitable at times.
(It wasn’t long before he sees Jack Frost going closer to him, Ken, and Rose with a balloon on his hand, although he was probably too preoccupied with looking after Rose’s well-being right now.)
no subject
For a moment, he stared at her before looking back at Harry. He still wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do but it was going to risk it. Just as he was about to pet her?
That's when Jack Frost gave a loud shout before popping the balloon right behind Ken! Hope they like even more glitter!]
What was that for?! [Ken shouted before his familiar gave a small "Hi Ho!"]
no subject
(Harry guides Rose to hide inside his jacket pocket which she complies as she jumps into the pocket for safety. He can let Ken pet Rose a little later as Jack Frost is about to pop the balloon he is holding onto.
And when it pops, Harry gets coated in more glitter again,. Luckily for him, his mouth is closed when it happens, though he has to wipe off the glitter off his face.)
Whoa, that is just weird. Just wow, mister. (He is addressing this to the mischievous Jack Frost.)
no subject
It didn't take long for Ken to realize what his familiar was doing. However, that didn't stop him from sighing to himself as he placed his hand on his face.]
No, he was trying to cheer me up. [He mumbled and wondered how he got himself into this mess.] I wasn't in a good mood and he thought this would be a good idea.
no subject
(Quite frankly, Harry ha no words for the mischievous familiar as he chuckles for minutes. Though it didn’t stop from trying to relax at this time.
Still, a part of him does wish that it can stop at any moment soon so Rose doesn’t feel frazzled by the glitter showering down on her.)
no subject
Then shall we find a place where we can clean up Rose? I think she might be more worried than the rest of us.
[That and look at all that glitter on her. It'll take forever to get it off of her!]
no subject
(Harry picks up Rose from his jacket pocket as she squeaks nervously after she overhears Jack Frost popping the balloon earlier.
The poor Pygmy Puff tries to shake off more glitter from her fur, although not by much.)
no subject
How about that fountain? You think that’ll work?
[At the same time, Jack Frost was attempting to reach up to Harry. He wants to pet Rose too!]
no subject
It will probably do. Let’s hope that it works in taking out all the glitter.
(Harry then sees Jack Frost trying to pet Rose, though she is hysterically squeaks at the snowman familiar while he’s trying to calm her down.)
no subject
[He said before grabbing his familiar's cold hands as he made his way toward said fountain. In return, the snowman just a small pout.]
It feels like I'm taking care of a toddler sometimes...
no subject
(Harry then turns to Rose, who is trying not to flip out from the glitter balloon incident as he catches up with Ken to the fountain.)
Alright, Rose. We’re going to get all the glitter from your fur in a fountain today. Just hang on tightly.
(After giving her a reassuring smile, he places her on the water of the fountain, scrubbing off the glitter from her being as much as he could.
While doing so, he notices that fountain water actually managed to take out glitter from anything as it is washed away from Rose’s fur. Rose squeaks in joy and it gives so much joy in his face.)
no subject
[He said in a slightly deadpan voice. He didn't want to be mean but sometimes? His familiar sure was a lot to take care of and Ken wasn't having any of it right now. He was more focused on helping Harry and Rose.
Not to mention he was just in a bad mood. What better way to handle it than to help someone out?
As they walked over to the water fountain, Ken couldn't help but chuckle a little.] Seems like she's a lot happier now! I'm surprised, I thought it would take a long time to wash it off!
no subject
(Rose swims out of the water and begins to shake off the excess water from her fur, squeaking happily. The little Pygmy Puff is no longer coated in glitter.)
no subject
He didn’t say anything and kept looking at Rose. To pet or not, that was the question.]
no subject
It’s totally fine if you choose not to pet her right now. There is no need to worry about it if you’re not up for, Ken. I mean no pressure, right?
Rose is just happy to meet people today and she understands if you are not up for it now.
no subject
And what if I want to?
[He said in a low voice. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, he was glad Harry wasn’t making fun of him for wanting to pet something so cute.]
no subject
(Rose squeaks joyously as she spins around happily on her master’s hands, her wide eyes shining like the water in the fountain, minus the pesky glitter of course.)
no subject
See that? That is the look of a 13 year old boy finally admitting to himself that he is, indeed, still a kid.]
I don't know what kind of creatures you have in your world, Harry-san, but I'd say you're lucky if you have her.
no subject
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.
no subject
With a sigh of relief, he just kept on chuckling.]
What do you mean? If you don’t mind me asking?
no subject
Back then, she was in shock while trying to swim for her life at the Bay and I was worried that she couldn’t get over the whole thing, but she is able to get over that and we slowly became really good friends afterwards.
