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.

"Wait, you actually want to see them here?" He said with a surprised look. "I haven't looked but there should be a couple of them somewhere online? It shouldn't be too difficult if we try!"
no subject
As they walked on the plan grew even grander in the demon's mind. He could see it all now, the huge mecha fighting on screen, the cheesy dialog, popcorn for that went well with everything!
"Maybe we can even find a theater to watch it in! Imagine it on the big screen."
no subject
“But wouldn’t it cost a lot of money? How are we going to rent a theater for everyone to see?”
Despite his words, Ken wasn’t complaining. It would be cool to see his favorite ranger on the big screen. And yet, there was some hesitation behind his words. He was still embarrassed to admit his love for the franchise!
no subject
"We don't need any money. Not when we have a kid who can speak to animals..."
That sinking feeling like you were about to be dragged into trouble again? It's true!
"All we need is some rats. We talk to them, get them to take over the theater, then come in like a bunch of exterminators... It's worked before."
no subject
"Crowley-san, why are you always getting me into these plans? It always involves doing questionable things!"
He said with a heavy sigh before giving him a small glare.
no subject
So it made total sense to Crowley to invite Ken along for the scheme.
"Besides, you're the fan! I just want to eat popcorn and watch some giant robots fight each other."
no subject
Because after their little adventure, he really doesn’t want to deal with bread flying everywhere thank you!
“It's not fair you keep making me do all the dirty work!”
no subject
One couldn't really get the full experience as part of the picture would have been cut off and the sound would always be hampered by those tinny little speakers.
"If you don't want in I can think up some other way. Can't be animals but... they must have fire alarms?"
no subject
“That and if we pull the fire alarm, they could come back before we can even see anything!”
Although, there was an idea he thought about. He didn’t want to go for it but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
no subject
He paused as he noticed only after having spoken that working had been used a few too many times in that.
"You'd think a retired demon might be able to pull down a pension or something."
Ken had a point about the fire alarm. The owners would likely call the fire department to put it out. The solution in Crowley's mind was to come dressed as the fire department! Then he could spend hours in there 'putting out the fire' while he was actually borrowing a projector.
"I'm sure I could stall them. Create a lot of smoke, a few flames, it's not like they would rush in to check in someone dressed in a fireman's outfit told them to stay outside."
no subject
And he most definitely didn't want to do it the dirty way either!
"You really are persistent on this. What would you do if I said no to the suggestion?" You see this look, Crowley? This is the look of a teenager who most definitely wasn't going to let things go your way!
no subject
Crowley shrugged and unwound his arm from the kid's shoulders.
"I'm still going to do it. Sounds like more fun than... playing at being a Knight again."
no subject
"Really? I can't imagine you trying to be heroic. It doesn't seem like the thing you would be interested in!"
no subject
"Heroic? I wasn't heroic! I was the Black Knight charged with fermenting discord in..."
Crowley paused and glanced around just to make sure they were truly alone. He doubted Ken would give him any real trouble about this but there were others who might have.
"King Arthur's Camelot... But it must have been a different King Arthur. This one doesn't seem to remember any of that."
Or if he did it didn't matter as Crowley had been keeping a low profile.
no subject
Although, what he heard next made him raise a few eyebrows or two.
"Wait, you never said anything about knowing another Arthur in another world! If you let him know, you could be in a lot of trouble!"
no subject
"This Arthur doesn't know anything about it! He is King Arthur - Twilight Zone version. I'm not going to tell him."
He paced around Ken, paying particular attention to those eyebrows.
"And neither are you. You're not a telltale are you?"
no subject
That or Ken could give a small shrug.
"I don't see why I should. As long as you're not creating too much trouble, I won't tell." Then he gave a small pause. "But remember if you do, I will!"
no subject
He sauntered around Ken once again, all long strides and smirking up at the clouds.
"I knew you had a dark side in there some where!"
no subject
He sighed to himself. He really didn’t know what to think of this strange demon but one thing is for sure!
“Tell you what, I’ll think about watching power rangers on the big screen. I’ll just ask if we can rent the place for a discount or something. Sound good to you?”
no subject
"It sounds like a compromise, but it will do."
no subject
Ken asked wondering just who this demon was and if he was replaced with another person. Despite the shock, the boy eventually managed to regain his composure. "No, you really are agreeing with my suggestion?"
no subject
The right way is always the harder way.
"Not as much fun though..."
no subject
"Then is it settled? I think we made a deal."
no subject
"Deal."
no subject
"Now c'mon, let's see if there's anything else we can find. I'm sure if we look around, there might be some other things I can buy without having you cheat your way through."
