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.

Eventually, she manages to find the place she assumes he meant and when Somnus gestures over to Regis, her gaze switches between the two. She's trying to figure out if they're related. And if they are, how they are.
She almost asks. This isn't the time, however.]
Oh, hi there. [She offers Regis a smile, a little apologetic at that because she knows she's about to get into his space and that's not the best first impression.] Sounds like you already know who I am.
[Looking between the two once more, she gives Somnus a welcoming, grateful smile for letting her sit.] Thanks. [Her gaze dips as she attempts to better assess Regis' situation.] Did all this happen from the tournament?
no subject
After all, Somnus does look quite younger than him despite being well over a thousand years old. Regis can't help but still lament about that even now.]
Greetings, Aerith.
[He says with a faint smile in hopes of easing the young healer's concerns. This is an awkward first impression but Regis is good-natured about it. After all, he would rather be healed than forced to wear a cast for the next several months.]
Somnus told me much about you.
[Which is a lie since Somnus merely stated that she's a healer and nothing more. However, Regis is just being polite.]
Ah, yes. It seems that I went a bit overboard during my last match.
[He admits with a sheepish chuckle. The vicious burns upon his arm are the result of a fire spell gone wrong. Despite mastering all the elements, Regis still needs to work on his control over fire.]
no subject
This nexus hinges on the belief that if it is not saved, then all worlds will be forfeit; however, if Regis is not alive by the end (or whatever that means for his soul), then their Star will meet the same end. All kings must be present by the night’s end.
That, and Somnus has seen too many of his Line suffer. Anything more than what’s allotted in Eos is unnecessary. ]
no subject
Oh, really? Surprise paves the way for a short-lived yet genuine laugh.]
Did he, now. [Aerith doesn't seem to believe him, but...] How flattering! [She takes it in good stride. Perhaps in his own way, Somnus has found her a bit unforgettable.]
[Regis continues and though the smile in her mouth lessens, it retains its worth. Perhaps accompanied by something sympathetic. He's probably seen better days and while she was aware the tournaments would likely lead to such things, she can't help but wonder what's 'fun' about willingly being hurt.]
Hmmm. I see. Okay, well. Let's see what we can do, alright?
[Her gaze dips again onto his arm and after a moment's thought, her eyes shut. The healing magic she's been granted in Camelot isn't exactly the same as what she's accustomed to back home, but knowing a little something allows her to act with a certain confidence.
As she leaves her hand, open palm faced toward his arm, she shifts it slowly across the span of his burns, an ethereal green-blue emanating. Its primary focus to relieve pain. The secondary portion lessens the severity of his burns and eventually, they are left with minimal markings.]
no subject
You have my gratitude, Aerith.
[ He earnestly says with a hint of shame in his tone. In all honestly, he should've been more careful. His recklessness led him here and now this poor healer has to see such gruesome wounds. While the competition was quite tame for the most part, it was still rather barbaric. It seems that even Avalon has a taste for blood sometimes.
Regis watches as the healer wields her magic, oddly interested to see how such sorcery works. In his world, magic flows a bit differently. That much is apparent since magic itself is a blessing from the gods. Not many can wield such power but here in Avalon, magic seems to flow more freely. He can tell that her spell was working the moment that the pain subsided. The only other healer he met since arriving in Avalon was none other than Lunafreya herself but the poor woman didn't stay long.]
Is this how such magic works?
[ He questions as he watches the sounds start to lessen in severity. While they're still present, those nasty burns don't look half as gruesome as earlier.]
Quite curious. The pain has already subsided.
no subject
Somnus steps forward, attention sweeping from his appraisal of the healed arm to the woman sitting beside him. ]
Your talents are welcomed. We shall send for you another day.
[ There’s something dismissing about his words— a “that will be all” intonation, impersonal from his tenure as sovereign. Nevertheless, even if he speaks in a detached manner, his praise is sincere: Regis would not have recovered easily without her, and for that, she is due gratitude. ]
no subject
When she's done, she looks between the two again and nods with the same warm smile she had when she arrived on the scene.]
It's no trouble at all. If you ever need anything, he knows how to get a hold of me.
[Somnus, she means, and that's obvious at this point. All he has to do is message her.
Examining the stoic man with whom she arrived initially, Aerith picks up on the hint easily enough. They have Business to discuss or Something Like It. Either way, she shouldn't overstay her welcome and she decides not to press on that.]
It was nice to meet you. [Her gaze, maybe something like an aqua, moves onto Regis kindly.] Take care of yourself, okay? [Lifting a hand, she wiggles her fingers in a nonchalant, informal departure to the two of them.]
