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.

['You're allowed to be yourself', huh...
She wasn't sure what the reaction would be if he - or any of her new friends here - knew her for who she really was. But she had orders to keep this up, right? So this was what she had to do.
Still, her smile as she replied was tinged with a little sadness.]
...It's just part of the job, you know? Models are supposed to be like, super cute, and something like that just wouldn't match with my style - I don't want to turn my fans off after all!
But...thanks. You know, weird though that mission was, it was pretty fun teaming up with you like that. We should totally do it again sometime.
no subject
little does he knows that they're birds of a feather in that regard, too).]I'm always up for teamwork with you. You were just about the best person I could have wanted with me in that forest.
[He did notice the resignation in her voice, and he just can't leave it at that. Restrictive industries that make their own talents unhappy are a thorn in his eye.]
You know, maybe you can create your own niche here and become a model who also informs the locals about off-world weaponry. It'd be tailored to a special interest target audience, sure, but I've seen stranger concepts turn into successes.
no subject
Aww, you're flattering me, thank you! I'm- I'm just glad I didn't disappoint you at all...
But my own niche huh? I wonder if something like that would work... I've never really thought about combining weapons and warfare and stuff with like modelling before now.
no subject
but hey, again, same hat!). Luckily she picks up his modeling-with-twist suggestion.]Honestly, in our current predicament it'll actually be worthwhile education for the people.
[He's pretty sure that this would work out in Edo, at least. Guys will look at a cute model, girls will look at the fashion she's advertising (or both, or vice versa, depending), and so they'll all learn something about the weapon presented if it's in a speech bubble in a magazine or compressed into a minute-long video. People have the attention span of gnats, he knows that much.]
I'd loan you my weapons, and I'm sure other people would do the same... but then I've got no clue how to go about the logistics. You'd have to start networking to find those designers and photographers and videographers and what-have-you.
[Maybe it'll be easier to just keep picking up jobs from QuestBoard, ultimately.]
no subject
Same hat indeed!As he spoke about the various logistics, she frowned in thought. In all truth, she had no idea on the logistics of it all either - she'd picked up some amount of how the modelling industry worked from her sister, but actually putting something like that together without her help was a whole different matter.]
Yeah... I mean, does this place even have like, a magazine or a newspaper or whatever? Or... like, a fashion show type deal? Maybe we'd have to organise one...
no subject
[Ramuda is actually just a few years younger than him, but he's so tiny and energetic, Hijikata assumes that he's still in his teens. He hasn't personally spoken with him before, but he saw him fight in a rap battle when they were stuck on Prismatia together, and he recalls him running a fashion boutique there too, albeit he never frequented it (their interests aren't on the same wavelength, clearly). He didn't monitor the post, otherwise he might be aware of who responded.]
Perhaps you can connect with him.
no subject
...There's seriously a lot to think about, huh?
no subject
[He's glad he can be fairly self-sufficient as a swordsman, be it as a knight, mercenary, guard or whatever else Camelot may need. As a model Mukuro really depends on support from people with all sorts of different skillsets... well, the good news is that she brings pretty diverse skills to the table herself.]
Try not to worry too much. In the worst case scenario we can just keep questing. But you already started networking with the right people, so I see no need to be despondent.
[He briefly checks the time on his phone.]
I guess I should find the warm-up area before the melee. I'll look for you in the audience! Unless you find something better to do than watch us all bash our heads in, that is. No pressure.
[It probably won't get too brutal, but he wouldn't want her to feel guilty if she skipped all the sword-clanging to scout for designers or photographers on the fair grounds.]
no subject
[She had a more genuine smile at that, but it clashed a bit with the cheese peace-sign she was pairing it with.]
Good plan. I need to go borrow a crossbow for the firing contest, then I'll come see you guys fight!
Best of luck out there, okay!
no subject
[He gives her a little salute, and off he goes. They'll probably end up too focused on the competition to notice each other in the audience later, but at least they'll get to see each other's skills in action!]
