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.

[It's a legitimate question.]
Apparently the smell is supposed to be our favorite scent. It differs for everyone... At least that's what I've heard.
[Case in point; Soundwave had been hit with the glitter balloons, as well, his scent is earthy and woodsy along with his naturally metallic scent. The annoying part about this stupid thing is that there might just be some glitter seeping into his interiors. It's going to be hell washing them off.]
no subject
[Giving him a wave as he heads over to her. Glitter or not, it's nice to see a friendly face.
Of course then he made the comment about her liking guns, and her face flushed. Quick, think of a good excuse Mukuro!]
W-well, like... I did a photoshoot posing with some firearms before for like a military magazine and that was pretty good fun! Guess it's me just remembering that shoot...that must be it!
I- I mean they don't usually use fashion models like me for those sorts of mags but I guess they thought having a pretty model'd help sell copies! It was like... a special anniversary edition! That was it!
[...There was a chance he'd buy that, right? Maybe?
Still, she couldn't help but notice the earthy smell from Soundwave's glitter. Huh, she wasn't expecting something that natural from a giant robot.]
...Your one smells kinda like a forest, you know?
no subject
... Are you sure that's the reason?
[He's going to go with doubt here, this time. But her remark on his scent gets him to reel back slightly, before getting him composure back together again.]
I... suppose I have a fondness for nature lately. [He won't lie about that, but he is a flustered now, shifting his weight, vents hissing out air.]
This can be summed up as: Mukuro you're a moron
[A nervous laugh as it became apparent that Soundwave was not falling for this excuse at all, and she quickly blurted out something she thought would help: ]
I mean I don't like all guns! They've gotta have the right weight so they're properly balanced and so many of them seriously get that wrong, it messes with the recoil and force of fire if-
[...Wait, no, abort, this wasn't helping at all!]
But- like- that's- um. Anyway! You like nature, huh?
lmao mukuro
I do. I've been exposed to organic flora in recent years and learned to... appreciate them.
[He shrugs his shoulders, nothing deeper about it other than simply liking nature. Though, she's not going to escape from the gun topic that easily. Given how she's trying too hard and her odd behavior at the bridge that time, he's pretty sure, it's pretty obvious she's trying to hide something, aside from her rather obvious favourite.
He tilts his head to the side.]
You seem to be knowledgeable judging by what you just said... There's no shame in admitting your favorites, you know. Especially when everyone here could smell it from you.... [Literally.]
no subject
[The comment about liking nature, at least.
Mukuro went a bit red at what Soundwave said about her enthusiasm for guns. It was obvious her bad excuses hadn't worked on him, at all.]
W-well...yeah...um. I guess so... But it's not, like, in keeping with my image as a cute Fashionista, right? To like that stuff I mean.
no subject
There are people out there who find a fashionista with a liking for guns... charming.
no subject
[Hoping to throw the pressure off her with a playful remark, putting on her best smile.]
no subject
Soundwave then huffs and folds his arms together. No, he won't be answering that. Take that however you will.]
no subject
I mean I guess it is a unique look, I suppose...but that kinda look doesn't always do well unless you sell it just right, you know?
But I'm glad I can work my charms on someone here without worrying too much at least!
no subject
I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment if that will do well or not, but...
I won't judge you simply because you have an interest that may or may not clashes with your... image. If you want someone to hear you talk about your true interests, I suppose I can be that someone...
[That's to say, he wouldn't mind it if she wants to nerd out about guns to him. Not like he's out telling everybody about it.]
no subject
She thought on the offer for a moment. It would be okay, wouldn't it? To let the act slip a little bit? So long as he didn't know she wasn't really Junko, then... she could talk about these things, right?
Having someone she could actually talk to would go a long way to fixing the lonely feelings she'd been having.]
...You seriously wouldn't mind if I nerded out a bit?
no subject
Soundwave assures her with a single nod.]
Not one bit.
no subject
[Not that she was doing a good job at hiding her interests to begin with...]
no subject
[Hey, he gotta get that snark in there. She made it so obvious.... But he'll answer her seriously, a hand reaching to place it on top of her head, leaning down slightly to whisper.]
But yes, it's our little secret. You do not have to worry about me telling your interests to anyone.
no subject
[Giving him a pout at that tease!
Still, a hint of nervousness came into expression as he touched her hair, not sure whether or not he'd be able to tell it was actually a wig through those metallic hands of his.]
But, I appreciate it. Tell me if I'm chewing your ear off though.
no subject
I will. Though you need not concern with that... I am a good listener. [Or so he's told.]
no subject
So how are you enjoying the events so far? Are you gonna be competing at all?
no subject
I am, yes. I will be participating in the long-range firing competition. [.......] Will I be seeing you there?
no subject
[A little hesitant, but that answer seemed truer to her actual self.
She soon plastered over the honesty with her best fashionista smile though.]
So, like, good luck! I'm looking forward to it!
