[OPEN] Asgard Olympics Day 113

[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

[canmakemore]

[Caterina signed up on a whim, that whim being "Madre di Dio, they have a contest for who's the prettiest?" She basically thought the whole idea was hilarious, but now that she's here, she's going to take it... mostly seriously.

Seriously enough that she's going to dress her best. How do you win a beauty pageant? Class it the fuck up.

And then when she actually gets second place, she's almost disappointed. But ah well, she can rest in the knowledge that yes, she's still got it. And maybe if she had actually made a full-blown attempt she would have won, instead of getting second on a half-assed attempt.

In any case, before, during, and afterward the contest she'll be cruising around in her swanky threads.]

[equivoco]

[ those threads certainly do command attention! the idea of a beauty contest is ridiculous but niccolò attended anyway, an act of italian solidarity, and makes a point to find her afterwords. ]

Felicitazioni.

[canmakemore]

[Caterina smiles and laughs airily. Very aristocratic.]

Grazie mille. I'm amazed you managed to sit through the whole thing.

[equivoco]

To enjoy the vision of so many belle donne was worth the sacrifice of my time.

[ ...not quite as aristocratic. ]

[canmakemore]

[Okay this time she laughs much more sincerely, in that she practically cackles.]

I'm sure it was!

[equivoco]

[ well that's certainly memorable. machiavelli just smiles wider. ]

Perhaps such a thing can happen more often. I doubt there are many that would object to such an enjoyment.

[canmakemore]

Perhaps. If there are those who would like to participate, I don't see why it could not. Perhaps you could organize it yourself.

[TEASING EYEBROW RAISE you delightful pervert you]

[equivoco]

Only if I may be its judge.

[ he'd waggle his eyebrows suggestively but machiavelli prefers to be subtle about his perviosity. ]

[canmakemore]

[He's being about as subtle as a ton of bricks. Caterina pretends to consider this.]

But are you certain you have the credentials to be judging such an event?

[Oh whoops is she flirting? Silly her.]

[equivoco]

[ don't hate just because he's a horndog. he was born that way, okay. flirting is just a bonus, and a much more preferred way to interact with caterina than, you know, waiting around with her while she screams invective at borgia troops. ]

Years of experience, and a passion for the subject.

[canmakemore]

[yes well no one's gotten on her bad side around here

yet]

Ah, sì, certo. And would you set up the event in much the same way, or would you change it?

[equivoco]

[ that is a very ominous 'yet,' for the record.

but this is machiavelli, pretending to take the idea of running his own beauty pageant completely seriously. ]

I think, at the very least, there should be greater variety and greater time to judge. A single glimpse is not enough to properly determine these things, Caterina.

[canmakemore]

[and here the travelers of asgard might be thinking caterina is a wonderful charming calm sort of woman

and she is playing along with his seriousness, albeit with a smile on her face.]

Sono d'accordo. Simply walking across a stage is no way to decide true beauty.
