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.

[If sleeping at the library she worked at counted, anyway.
That was sure gonna bite her in the ass come Quests February]...Caster, and you?
You performed well.
no subject
But he shook his head.]
I felt like it was all I could do to just manage. Realistically, I probably should have just held off until I had a few months more experience at least.
[He's tired and his leg hurts. Even with magic, it's a lot more physical exertion than he's used to.]
no subject
This certainly has proved an interesting trial to see where we stand with our new abilities, at least it taught you that. You've not been here long either, I take it?
...I didn't catch your name.
no subject
[Everyone's so informal here and being the second son of a Baron has never been less important.]
And you are Caster, correct?
no subject
We spoke on the network device, didn't we? It's good to see you in person.
[Even if people earn titles here, how many people will respect them?]
no subject
[And he actually meant it, since the conversation, strange as it was had been engaging.
I mean when you have all been through the same embarrassing nonsense, then titles really do become meaningless.]
...does the cloak get uncomfortable?
no subject
...certainly not when it's cold like this. I'm not much looking forward to summer, but I don't think any of us know how long we will remain in this world.
no subject
The cold is really not pleasant no. [His bad leg is throbbing horribly both from the weather and all the exertion he went through. It better not all be like this.]
...realizing that we might indeed be here for summer is harrowing when you put it like that. I would like to say that it won't be so, but I have never been taken to another world, so I do not know how such things work.
[What if it was years? Or decades?]
no subject
For it to last months or years is...
[She trailed off. It didn't sound real, thinking about it like that.
If he were showing any sign that his leg was acting up, she'd suggest they find somewhere to sit down - but on the surface, he did not seem too badly injured.]
no subject
I wonder if a person would even want to return at this point. Not that I would not of course. That's too much to do.
[He couldn't leave Alex, because who knew what that man would do on his own.]
no subject
[Well that came out more spiteful than she intended.]
no subject
No I suppose not. You did say you had something important to do.
I apologize if I spoke out of turn.
no subject
Whilst she was brooding, her familiar wandered over to Joshua to investigate him.]
...you're the same, aren't you?
no subject
I suppose I am. There are so many reasons to not want to return, but...
[He sighed then because it would have been so much easier if Alex had actually come with him. So much for promises.]
...it's frustrating.
no subject
Caster could guess, to some extent, what that 'but' was meant to be followed by.]
But there's at least something or someone you want to go back to.
It...yes. It is frustrating, to say the least.
no subject
[And even when he's in his own head, he knows how to avoid his own feelings.
But after a moment, he ever so cautiously reaches out a hand to the bone dragon, ready to pull away if so much as nip occurs.]
I feel like all the answers they give as to why we are here are inadequate.
no subject
[A shrug. Yes, there was only so much they could do, but Caster was never one to manage her emotions well.
The dragon reached its head up, aiming to playfully nudge at his hand with its nose.]
You think so as well? If His Majesty does plan to address us...I'll certainly have a few questions for him.
no subject
But after a second's hesitation, Joshua cautiously pet's the bone dragon's snout. It's not soft or pleasant exactly but, well it is an experience.]
Oh? Whatever would that be? Personally I just want to know why I am here and not someone else. If there is any rhyme or reason to it.
[How did one such as himself end up among so many heroes and talented individuals, this woman among them.]
no subject
...That...is pretty much what I intended to ask, as well.
Why ask a treacherous witch like me to act as a 'hero' for their world? And... why bring me without my Master?
[Given she'd already mentioned him in their last talk, there was no harm in bringing it up now.
Honestly, she definitely saw other people here as more 'hero material' than she ever could be. Caster had quite firmly embraced the accusations of 'evil' that her world had pinned to her.]
no subject
[He's scratching the dragon where it's ears would be. Or probably would be. It's not like he's a dragon expert so he's just assuming it's similar to a horse or dog at this point.]
But putting that aside, I feel like one might just have to be a bit treacherous in this situation, don't you? Upright people only go so far.
no subject
...You're going to spoil the little one, fussing it like that.
[That accusation didn't seem very serious from the way she was chuckling, though.]
no subject
[He paused for a moment, but didn't stop entirely.]
It's strangely captivating for a pile of bones. Much nicer than my companion.
[One might hear a little whiny in the distance.]
no subject
It is a little sweet, in it's own way...I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting yours yet?
[She'll just be glancing up in the direction of the noise.]
no subject
[As if hearing his name called, Prince decides to finally trot up, tossing his head a little. He's a bit bigger than the bone dragon, probably by choice. How petty.]
And speak of the little devil.
no subject
...Ah, there is the familiar in question.
[She gave it a little nod of greeting.
Meanwhile, her dragon puffed out its chest and stood up as high as it could, just to try and look more impressive than the other familiar.]
