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.

I guess that you can blame it on teen hormones, many of us teens have a weird case of falling in and out of love too many times for too many reasons.

(Probably the lamest explanation ever, but he digresses as he and Crowley step away from any grapevines they could see.)

You see, this ex I was talking about is actually my best friend’s little sister, his only sister too. We know each other since we were younger, although she is younger than me by almost a year, and she too had a crush on me, maybe a tad bit much.

We dated other people for a short time before we dated each other in my Sixth Year, but I had to break up with her months for her safety. And I did a horrible job to telling her why, so she tore me apart figuratively for not informing her properly ahead of time.

[ The horizon was scanned for rogue clowns but when none were actually seen he tried to listen to the bizarre human problems. Even if he had once lived a human life, he always felt just a touch removed from human issues... must have been his demonic side. ]

So she is mad at her for trying to protect her? Isn't that a good thing? If she is mad then she will definitely leave you alone while you face whatever danger there was.

[personal profile] phoenixwiz 2021-01-25 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
More of mad at me because I didn’t told her of that, but, yeah, that is definitely still the case. So much for earning her trust for the last 6-7 years and nearly destroying it by not telling her that I had to break our relationship up then.

(Harry takes a deep sigh filled with uncertainty as he tries to think of the good memories he had with Ginny, though he could feel as if there is a huge gap between them during the Horcrux Hunt which grew worse the longer he is in Avalon.

For now, he and Crowley will have to focus their energy on getting even on those pesky clowns for the messy glitter showers.)
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.

(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.)
serpentinthegarden: (Such a showoff)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-01-25 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The clown seemed to sense something was going on but just what was a mystery until he happened to look up to see his balloons drifting away on the wind and his hands holding instead a bunch of red balloons. He was horrified if only because these balloons didn't have any glitter in them!! ]
phoenixwiz: (Sneaky Little Fella)

[personal profile] phoenixwiz 2021-01-26 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
(There is already a wide smirk in the teenager’s face as the clown panics at the balloon swap while he quietly leaves him where he stands.

Why he does decided to stuff balloons with glitter will never be known, but there is one thing that is for certain: He got pranked by a son and godson of a Marauder and a godfather to another Marauder son who was enabled to do so by a demon.)


Well, that should tell him not to mess with people through glitter balloons any more.
serpentinthegarden: (Ticketyboo)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-01-27 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, he'll figure it out if we keep swapping them every time he attempts to rearm!
phoenixwiz: (Default)

[personal profile] phoenixwiz 2021-01-27 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
That’s fair enough. If he does try to come back with more of those annoying glitter balloons, we will have to respond back appropriately in return or be more stealthy.
