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.

What? I'm not going to do that! That's just not fair, you didn't do anything wrong!
[Because that just wasn't fair at all!]
no subject
[ He says this all with a smile. It really was like he was used to being a sounding board. ]
It helps to be open with your emotions after all.
no subject
He could create more bonds by being more open but how could he when his support system was gone? With a mumble or two, he looked at the older teen thinking carefully about his words.]
That’s difficult and especially when I don’t even know where to begin.
no subject
[ He shrugs, but soon realizes that maybe, just maybe, he could help the kid out with processing the whole world hopping thing-- and maybe much more, by the looks of it. ]
But hey, usually sharing a meal helps break the ice. Let's go grab something to eat, yeah? Moving could also help more glitter get out of our clothes.
no subject
Sure? I don’t mind.
[He raised an eyebrow at him] But I don’t know who you are though. My name is Ken Amada, what’s yours?
no subject
[ He smiles, clearly used to being treated weird. At least it was going in the right direction. ]
Anything you're in the mood for? I'm sure we can find something around here!
no subject
Do you think they have omurice? I’ll be the one to pay, Naoto-san.
no subject
[ He was thinking with his stomach now-- that is, until Ken said he'd pay. ]
First of all, no formalities. I'm probably not that much older than you. Second, I'm paying. I invited you, after all!
no subject
[Why was everyone so informal around here? He didn’t mind but it was so unusual for people to be so casual.]
But it doesn’t seem fair that I don’t owe you anything! Especially when we just met.
[Maybe he was secretly an old man trapped inside of a tweenager but it seems so odd to not pay for something! That’s just rude!]
no subject
Uh, of course you don’t owe me anything. Me paying for food when I invited you is called being a decent person.
Anyways, let’s get a move on. We’re not gonna find omurice just standing around here.
no subject
With a sigh, he had no choice but to accept the offer. As he walked over to the stalls, he could see there were various food items they could take. The problem was finding the ones they were interested in.]
Fine but I’m still giving you something back. It’s only fair.
[Otherwise, he could hear his teammate scolding him for not doing so!]
no subject
Mmn, not even some Calbee.... jeez, what a let down.
[ He blinks as Ken tells him that. That blink soon changes into a weak smile. ]
Yeah, I'll hold you to that, then. [ He clearly didn't believe it. With his luck, he very much doubts the favor will be returned. ]
no subject
[He said before raising an eyebrow. If there wasn't anything Naoto liked here, then maybe he could tell this to him.]
Then how about I try to make something similar? It won't be the same but I am trying to learn how to cook lately. So if you treat me, I'll return the favor.
[It seems only fair, right?]
no subject
[ He starts to daydream about his mother's food, but is soon broken out of it by reality hitting him a lot sooner than most. Then Ken's deal hits his ears. It takes a moment for him to respond. ]
... Alright, I can take you up on that. Pick whatever you want.
no subject
Looking around, he does eventually find something.]
How about some fried chicken burgers? I always wondered if it would be any different here compared to back home.
[Would it be any different compared to the Wild Duck Burgers he always had back home?]
no subject
[ At this point he's been daydreaming about food too much that his stomach is begging for food at the moment. Seeing that it was the closest thing, he figures might as well and starts to head over. ]
They probably are, I'm guessing. Different world might mean different ways they raise their chickens and stuff like that.
no subject
[Although, now that Ken thinks about it? What even goes into their burgers anyway?]
I'm not even sure if that's a good thing or not to advertise their restaurant like that!
no subject
It isn't a good way to advertise the restaurant that way, but apparently that's what needs to be done to get customers, I guess.
[ He starts steeling himself for what might be a really bad decision. ]
Might as well give it a shot, now that we're here and all.
no subject
You don't think the burger here will be similar to the ones back home, right? It's nothing like mystery meat, right?
[Because he really would like to have his stomach intact, thank you!]
no subject
[ There was no better way than to taste it. So he opens his mouth and takes a bite. After a few moments just... deciding if it was good enough, he replies. ]
It's.. passable. [ Another bite. ] Not the best thing I've had but thank god it isn't mystery meat.
no subject
Then what does it taste like? It is duck or chicken, right?
[Because he wasn't too sure if Ken would be willing to eat something he didn't know what it was!]
no subject
[ He takes another bite to confirm. ]
... Yeah. Chicken. Mystery meat, my ass. At least it's good.
[ He proceeds to eat the rest of the burger.]
no subject
[He didn't know how Naoto could be so bold to eat something without really knowing what it was. However, he was going to have to trust him as he ordered one himself.
Swallowing whatever fear he had, he immediately took a bite and...!]
I think you're right? This sure does taste a lot like chicken! [Pause] But you're pretty brave if you're willing to eat it without knowing what the meat might be!
no subject
[ He doesn't like to, but when you only depend on yourself for literally everything, there's not much you won't do to make sure you survive. ]
Better to not bite the hand that feeds you, yknow?
