[asgardmods]

Who: anyone!
What: Asgard Olympics Event Part 3
When: Day 113 during the day only (July 15)
Where: Gefion Park
Rating: G to R (take anything higher to a locked log please!)

The third day of the festival, characters will wake up to hear the same music again. In the park, the stage and the resource building have returned and the last events are ready to go!

When you make a thread, be sure to fill out your subject line! Make sure people know where you are and what you're doing. For the sake of making the log easier on browsers, we won't be posting category threads for each event, so try putting "talent show / beauty pageant / armwrestling contest" or whatever is relevant in your subject line.

The contests for the day are as follows:

First, the Talent Show. Characters will have the entire resource building to find instruments, costumes, and whatever props they might need for this show. Anything you'd take to a real talent contest can be performed here! NPCs (native shopkeepers from Freyr who've had their colour restored by now) will judge the talents and announce the winner!

The winners of the talent show will be:
First Place: Shiki Tohno and Shirou Emiya (Freya) (they both get individual prizes but share house points)
Second Place: Diva (Freyr)

Second, the Beauty Pageant. The resource building has every bit of clothing, make-up, or anything else you need to look your best! There are even NPC makeup and hair artists if you ask for them. Characters will get one chance to strut their stuff, and then a panel of native shopkeepers from Freya who have their colour back will pick the prettiest Traveller!

The winners of the beauty pageant will be:
First Place: Nezumi (Freyr)
Second Place: Caterina Sforza (Freya)

Third, the Armwrestling Contest. This is a contest of pure strength and stamina! The first two characters to arrive will wrestle, and it will continue with tournament brackets until the last two compete!

The winners of the armwrestling contest will be:
First Place: Kainé (Thor)
Second Place: Vanitas (Hel)

In the evening once it gets dark, the carnival setting will disappear into thin air, leaving only the stage. From this stage, one of your local Gods will announce the House that's won the overall contest and give out the prizes from the whole event (including the individual prizes for winning each contest). The prize info can be found on the event post! After that, they'll leave and take the stage with them.

The winning House is...
Freyr

Have fun, play hard, and good try to everyone who competes! Remember, your characters had to sign in for events ICly, but they're welcome to be thrown in even if you didn't sign them up already OOCly. Just jump into whatever you'd like!

Beauty Pageant

[saving_sound]

[Truthfully, Hibiki had been attracted to the beauty pageant not because she thought she had a chance of winning, but because it looked like fun to get all dressed up.

As a result, Hibiki walks onstage shyly in a flowy white dress, her usual side-ponytail now held in place by a hair tie made to look like a flower stem, with white flowers facing forwards. The ponytail itself has been carefully curled, and although it's hard to tell, some light makeup has been applied to emphasize her lashes and lips. Even her old wooden side-barrette has been replaced with a glittering white one instead.

It's kind of adorable.]

because ofc we don't have enough threads...

[burntviolet]

[ Hanako is sitting in the audience, watching the contest as she kind of promised a few of her friends here, including Hibiki. She's not one to cheer loudly or make any noises, but she'll applaud when the little girl makes her scene. Ganbatte ne...! ]

never enough!!

[saving_sound]

[She looks out over the audience, honestly a little taken aback at just how many people are there. It takes her a moment to recollect herself, but once she does she gives a small spin before walking to her designated spot, as instructed.

It's when she's waiting for the other contestants that she really gets a good look at the audience, trying to peer over discreetly. When she spots Hanako, she even gives a small wave!]

[burntviolet]

[ Hanako waves back awkwardly, hoping that nobody notices that she did so. The last thing she wants is to stand out in that crowd... ]

[saving_sound]

[Hibiki's smile, if possible, brightens when Hanako waves back. She spends the rest of the contest fidgeting as she waits impatiently for it to end.

And once it has, she'll come running to see her friend, not even bothering to change back into her normal clothes first.]

Ikezawa-san! You came to watch!

[burntviolet]

I did... you came watching me the other day, so it was just fair to root for you here. [ She smiles weakly. ] I hoped you would have won.

[saving_sound]

Ahaha... I didn't think I would win when I signed up anyway. To tell the truth, all I wanted to do was try out the outfits...

[burntviolet]

Those outfits were extremely cute. Also the one you're wearing now. Seriously, you should have at least taken the top positions.

[saving_sound]

Ahh... That can't be right. The people who won- There's no way I could have beaten them.

[burntviolet]

[ Not again... ]

I'm sure you could have beaten them anyway.

[saving_sound]

Eh... But I didn't, so...

[She doesn't sound disappointed at all by this. It's simply fact.]

[burntviolet]

[ N O P E ]

It was unfortunate, but that doesn't mean you didn't have any chance...!

[saving_sound]

[Umm...]

Ikezawa-san... I don't mind losing. It was enough fun to just be able to go on stage. It's fine if I couldn't win - really!

[burntviolet]

[ /headwall ]

That's not the point... please, don't put yourself down like this.

[saving_sound]

Eh... What do you mean?

[burntviolet]

The thing is that you could still win. It was only unlucky that you didn't. I don't think you're any lower than the other partecipants...! [ She feels strongly about this, ok! ]

[saving_sound]

But... I'm not especially pretty or anything, so doesn't it make sense for the others to win?

[She's just. Really perplexed as to why Hanako is so insistent she even had a chance.]

[burntviolet]

No, it doesn't. It's not only external beauty that is important...! That's not the point of the contest.

[ And really, she doesn't want to bring this up- but she wants to make a point. ] What would have happened if I partecipated in the contest as well?

[saving_sound]

Eh...

I... I think you would have done well?

[Why would there be a problem with Hanako going up?]

[burntviolet]

Are you sure about that?

[ Because scars, that's why. ]

[saving_sound]

Well, you're very pretty, so...

[burntviolet]

[ She shakes her head. ] I have the least chance to win a contest like this... for an obvious reason.

[saving_sound]

I think you would still do well! You're pretty and nice and kind...

[burntviolet]

You're nice and kind too, and cute. It's undeniable that you will fare better than me.

[saving_sound]

But... I'm sure I didn't do all that well... You are certain to have done better than I did.
