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 stops, then glances over his shoulder at Shiro.]
I do need help with something
[He clears his throat, trying for a more man manageable volume.]
How long have you been in this world?
[Gokudera motions his head for Shiro to follow him to somewhere more quiet. He can’t hear himself over everyone and just has a hard time hearing himself in general.]
no subject
Not long. A couple days? [ there’s something almost apologetic in his tone, as though he’s already anticipating that to be the wrong answer. afterall, he probably isn’t the best candidate to help when he’s still finding his own footing here. ]
no subject
Shit. Are you going to be entering the tournament? [He really shouldn’t count on magic from anyone that’s been in this world for a couple days, but hey... maybe this guy is extremely capable where he comes from.]
no subject
he nods, graciously choosing to ignore that shit and the implications that, yeah, it really had been the wrong answer to give. ] Yeah. Thought I’d give it a shot. Might be more difficult without the arm but-- [ his right arm. long story. just know it’s a recent thing. ] -- Always up for a challenge.
[ and he’s smiling again, bolstered on a hopefulness that’s almost inspiring. ] Will I see you there too?
no subject
You don’t have to rely on an arm for magic. [He’s not asking how the guy lost it. That’s rude.]
Yeah. What kind of magic do you have? [Maybe he knows who this guy might be up against.]
no subject
Fair point. [ not that shiro is any good at channeling his magic yet. between getting used to his new surroundings, his lacking arm, and the idea of being able to do magic… it’s been a lot to wrap his mind around, okay. ]
I’m learning light. [ think that’s the classification that was explained to him on that first day. all he knows, is his manifestations lack a long duration. practice makes perfect though, huh. ]
no subject
[He nods, then offers a slightly troubled look. Gokudera believes in himself, but knowing more people that could enter this competition means that there are more people he could use to his benefit.]
I heard that a potential prize for winning at that competition is a countercurse potion.
no subject
so far, this kid doesn’t seem like the type to say things just for the sake of filling the silence. ]
Yeah? [ he runs his hand through his hair, only to ruffle free a helping of glitter. right, still need to deal with that. ] That something you’re hoping to get?
[ alternatively: is that something you need? ]
no subject
[He's not going to admit how it happened, but...][Gokudera shifts his weight awkwardly.]
I act like a dog. I don't actually speak or anything.... and it's very odd, and I was given a potion to help, but all it's done is dampen my hearing.
[So he goes from speaking loudly to not... just depends on how loud he feels and whatever else might be going on.]
I haven't had a shift since I took it, so maybe the trigger is something I have to hear. Anyways, I know I've not been cured. A countercurse potion is my last hope.
no subject
which isn’t necessarily a good thing. but. ]
If that’s the case… [ he smiles. ] I don’t know how well I’ll do, but if I manage to secure the win, I’ll give you the potion. [ just like that. no strings attached. he offers it so easily, with no hint of second-thought. ]
no subject
What surprises him is how readily Shiro offers him the potion he hasn't even won yet.]
I'd just as readily buy it off of you! I wouldn't expect it to be free! [That's... why would this guy just give it up so easily?! What if it's an expensive potion to get?]
no subject
so he shakes his head, brushing off the offer. ]
Consider it as an apology potion then. [ and he chuckles soft and low, flicking his fingers, the ones now coated with sparkle from his hair. a few sparkles flick free, dousing the space between them before fluttering to the ground. ] For the glitter.
no subject
You don't even know my name!
[What if he knows someone else who's cursed and he's just looking to keep the potion from them?! He's not, but what if?! This guy doesn't know him!]
If you win! I'll have to pay you back some way! There's no way I could accept a potion as an apology! We'll... we'll train together! That way there's no loss!
no subject
he’s taken chances on others before and mostly? the return has been rewarding. he’s hoping this is much the same. though, the talk of training does certainly sweeten the deal. ]
Alright, alright. [ he’s still talking in that light, jovial way of his. as though he’s unbothered-- like it doesn’t matter whether he gets payment or not. ] If that makes it more acceptable to you-- yes. I could use help with practicing my magic. [ especially with someone of the same type. ]
no subject
[That's a much more rewarding arrangement for both of them. Gokudera puts his hand out, glitter shifting off of him.]
My name is Gokudera Hayato. Let's shake on it.
no subject
Takashi Shirogane. But everyone calls me Shiro. [ lets go, faintly amused at the flutter of glitter. is there no end??. ] So it’s settled. Guess that means I should get cleaned up and then get myself signed up, huh.
no subject
You should. Best of luck. [He offers a nod instead of a bow and then drops his hand away, not minding how the glitter catches so much. If he thinks about it, it's reflecting a lot of light around. Maybe something like that could be utilized during the tournament...? Something to think over. Gokudera's brushing off and collecting glitter from his sleeves, pocketing them.]
no subject
how does he always end up surrounded by teenagers?
he takes note of the pocketing of glitter ( the glitz an’ glam growing on someone?? ) but otherwise says nothing of it as he smiles, nods and finally turns to go. ]
Same to you, Gokudera.
[ and look at that, he pronounced it just fine. lifts his hand in a backward wave and there, done, gone, he’s off for the sign-ups. ]
