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 makes him worry that something happened to her. Maybe something bad. Panicking won't do him any good, and she doesn't seem to be hurting, but... It's something to keep an eye on.]
...Right. It is.
[Which is a novel concept. His own body, his own choices. Doing what he wants and not just what he needs to do.]
...I don't think getting something permanent is the worst idea, if it's something that means something. Right?
no subject
Exactly. If you're going to make it permanent, you might as well get something that means something to you. Like mine...
[Nyuu wanted their tattoo to move, so where was it now...? Hmm. Ah! She slides up one of her sleeves, and a mermaid can be seen swimming up along Nyuu's arm, a trail of bubbles left in her wake.]
It's a tattoo I already had before on my shoulder, but they were able to enchant it to move. It's a mermaid, because one of my favorite fairy tales has a mermaid as the main character.
[The Little Mermaid had been a story that Lucy was very interested in as well, which was why she (Lucy) had picked such a design in the first place. Lucy thought she and the mermaid shared some similarities.]
no subject
I didn't know they could enchant existing things, too...
[He tilts his head. He's not sure if the fairytale Maybe Lucy means is one of the ones he was able to find, so...]
Would you mind telling me the fairytale some day? I'm not familiar with that many - not right now, obviously, but, ah. Some day.
[A pause, as he mulls it all over. Something that... Means something to him. It's vague, but there's only one thing he can really think of.]
...I might have an idea for what I want. Um, can I...?
[It's directed at the artist, and he motions to the pencil he's seen them using to sketch out designs for customer approval.]
no subject
[Back in Lunatia, Lucy and Nyuu were able to obtain an anthology of fairy tales written by Hans Christian Andersen.
When Kaede asks for the pencil and paper, Nyuu can't help but look curiously at his back. (She's polite enough to not look over his shoulder.)]
What is it?
no subject
[...Huh. He didn't come through here with anything, so he'd never considered people would actually have things from home.
After drawing for a bit, he holds up a drawing of what's simply... interconnected, geometric shapes.]
...There are these things in my world called "Signatures". They look kind of like this, but... I've never had one of my own.
[Something created from a Signature couldn't have one of their own, anyways, and getting it painted on him doesn't magically give him one, but... Maybe he could pretend.]
no subject
You're very good at drawing. What exactly is a Signature? Because in my world, the word "signature" refers to the distinctive way a person writes their name.
no subject
[He pauses for a moment, mulling over the best way to explain.]
It's like... The essence of what makes a person who they are. Everything about them that's unique. The way they think, feel, what they know... It's the physical manifestation of all of that. It's what makes them unique, so it's... The distinctive traits of a person.
no subject
[Finally, she asks:]
You know, I don't think I've asked for your name yet. I'm Nyuu, pleased to meet you.
[She bows her head in greeting.]
no subject
[He blinks, and. Wait. Wait a minute-]
I thought your name was Lucy?
[He thought there had been something off, but... Were they like Kaede? Replications or copies of somebody else? Or was something else going on here?]
no subject
Oh! Well... it's complicated. This is Lucy's face and body, but her mind is asleep right now, leaving me in control of our body. We are split personalities. Are you familiar with that term?
no subject
[He’s never heard it before, but... It seems pretty self-explanatory?]
So you’re... Two people in the same body, but you... Change who’s in control?
no subject
If you've already met Lucy, she likely wrote about you somewhere. Could I have your name again?
[Since they forgot about the matter in the confusion.]
no subject
Oh, ah, it's... Kaede.
[Some day he'll actually be used to that as his name.]
no subject
[With his name being the same as Lucy's true name, it's easy to remember from the notes. She bows her head in greeting.]
Lucy wrote about the sleigh race you two were in together. I apologize for the confusion. I couldn't remember the physical description that Lucy gave for you. Which reminds me, Lucy wanted me to apologize to you on her behalf, for forgetting to mention our split personalities to you the first time. Lucy said being pulled into another world yet again made it slip her mind.
[Lucy's mind had been filled with too many thoughts and questions at the time.]
no subject
[He waves a hand.]
It’s fine, it’s fine, I wouldn’t have expected it to be all that important with everything that was going on at the time! Things were pretty... Chaotic.
[Or at least he felt like they were chaotic. He tends to think most of the things that have happened have been chaotic.]
