This is the plotting post! Ask questions in response to this comment HERE. Click here to view top-level comments only. The actual event log will be posted on Jan. 21st, please use this post to plot with your fellow players and ask questions ahead of the event start.


POLL RESULT NOTES:
With just over half of people participating in Pure of Heart, and more trying their hand at Brave of Soul, the mirror to establish contact with Elphame was restored. Because of this, the faeries of Elphame currently have a positive opinion of the otherworlders residing in Camelot. They were respectful and put in great effort to try to invite them, and as such, only members of the Seelie Court will be visiting for the tournament. This will also effect possible future responses and support from the fae.

However, the people of Celliwig were indeed aware of how many tried the task, but also how many failed. The Celliwig people are the masters of light and dark magic and believe that both strength and weakness are needed as much as light and darkness within hearts. As such, Celliwig will not be an open location until such time as the Celliwig people have a chance to re-evaluate in the future. They will change the nature of their glamour to prevent entry.




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.
How the tournament will be run is a little different from an OOC standpoint. Any characters can participate, but in order to determine a winner, we will need anyone who thinks their characters skill is great enough to win to comment to the name of the tournament they are entering below If you think/want your character to lose, we do not need your information. We will RNG the winners from those who comment for each competition as linked.

ICly, anyone who wants to thread any part of it out, go for it! You can thread out watching, you can thread out participating, interfering, anything you want! Thread out having an intimate moment with your healer, a tearful failure and hurt/comfort consolation, thread out buying a round from the beer food stand for everyone in the next 25 feet for winning, whatever you want!!! Just have fun with this portion of the event.

excellent! wanted to check cause while i have him in for a chance to win, i wanted to hilariously disqualify him if he doesn't~~
unknowntodeath: (Shirou smile)

Player: AL
Contact: [plurk.com profile] sasageyo

Character: Archer (EMIYA) & [personal profile] unknowntodeath
Familiar/Magic: Phoenix & Cognitive
Event Plans: Archer is participating in the long-range competition, but otherwise he will mostly be hanging around. Most likely getting glitter all over himself, at least.

He can be persuaded to join in on the cognitive battle, but he won't initiated it himself.


Character: Jean Kirstein & [personal profile] rustyhonesty
Familiar/Magic: Mythological Lynx & Animal
Event Plans: Jean is participating (and in it to win it) on the melee and animal magic competitions. Otherwise he's around and possibly getting a temporary wings of freedom tattoo on his arm or something.


Character: Raven Branwen & [personal profile] ensuredsurvival
Familiar/Magic: Nevermore & Dark
Event Plans: Raven is in it to win it on Dark vs Light competition, but otherwise she'll leave competing to others as she feels like she doesn't need to prove herself to anyone. She's only in the dark one to practice her skills but might as well try and win, yeah?

Otherwise she'll be the definition of a wallflower.

Character: Ren Jinguji & [personal profile] saxsongs
Familiar/Magic: Fox Fairy & Healing
Event Plans: Participating in the Healing competition and getting a rose tattoo on his shoulder as a permanent addition. He'll also be sparkling with the glitter and being his charming self.


Character: Sokka & [personal profile] bendless
Familiar/Magic: Sabertooth Moose Lion Cub & Elemental
Event Plans: He will be participating in the elemental knock out but he's not practiced enough to be even close to winning so he's not in the winning roulette. Instead he's determined to eat everything.

He will be getting all sorts of tattoos on himself, but none permanent and just going around excited-like.

Doesn't mean Rin will stop being bossy af because she is never stopping that! Also she be like local magic is important to learn so go go.

Or worse, Usagi drags him there as her partner for that round. Or both. Once Rin stops bossing him and he needs to find a partner...


Even if we don't need team ups in that!

Maybe somewhere during the non-fighting parts of the tournament. Harry could also witness Taiga competing at the competitive eating contest and/or meet Sakura at the tattoo booth as an onlooker.

Character: Mickey Mouse & [personal profile] souris_keteer
Familiar/Magic: Nameless Farfadet & Elemental.
Event Plans:
Mickey will be participating in Close-Quarters Melee with his sword! After he loses (but definitely puts up a good fight), he'll stick around to watch other tournaments and fights. This is pretty interesting stuff, after all! He might also play around with Glitter and Body Painting for fun, since he is a kid at heart. Might TL.

Character: Maribelle & [personal profile] troubadamsel
Familiar/Magic: Nameless Caladrius & Healing.
Event Plans:
Maribelle will be participating in Physical Healing, mostly for the money and to help those who need it. She'll also gladly partake in the castles' royal tea garden - finally, a trace of elegance! She will be furious if she finds out someone is listening in on her conversations... although she may be tempted to listen in on others. She's not perfect, try as she might try to say otherwise. Will TL.

Open to planning for anyone and anything!

Player: bayleaf
Contact: [plurk.com profile] bespin or lanayru#6010

Character: Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd & [personal profile] areadbhoar
Familiar/Magic: Griffin/Healing
Event Plans: Hello!! Since this will be Dimitri's first event I'll be using it as a sort of intro for him, so I'll definitely be top-leveling! I threw him into non-magic melee tournament because he's the type to keep busy and it's something he excels at, while he won't be participating in the healing tournament but will definitely be spectating, attempting to glean literally anything about healing magic that he can because he's a scrub at it.

Otherwise, he'll be hanging around the tea garden, by his lonesome.....so he could use some company there, poor guy has a lot on his mind and no one to really talk to. Aside from that, expect him to be checking out the merch stands because modern times are still Very New for him and what even are sunglasses, really. Please encourage him.

Character: Emet-Selch & [personal profile] emet_sulk
Familiar/Magic: Shadow gwiber, alchemy
Event Plans: Emet will be taking part in several bouts (physical non-magic, all magic, long-range, alchemy/kinetic), I'm undecided if I'll write a comprehensive toplevel just yet. It may depend on when the winners are chosen. If you'd like to challenge him, please let me know!

Familiar/Magic: A disturbingly upbeat dragon affectionately named Amelia the Second / Elemental
Event Plans: Ya boi Zelgadis will be competing in Close-Quarters Melee, probably only because someone nagged him into it ngl, and then he'll most likely be spending as much time as he can at the tea garden because that sounds super chill and totally not chaotic at all. AND THAT'SSSss about all I have planned I usually just do rp stuff on the fly. Not sure if I'll top level yet but I will for sure be tagging around SO IDK MAN I'm always open to shenanigans hit me up.
