[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!

She is a close friend, yes. [ he is careful to not speak much more on that point. ] Is the Italian so uncommon, that we are so easily placed?

[madamemoiselle]

[Her smile turns a bit playful as she shakes her head, switching completely from the native language of Asgard to Italian] Well, a little. There are people that speak it here, but Claudia was the first I've met that still uses it. And now you.

[equivoco]

[ the smile is returned, and he trades in the common language for italian quickly enough. ] There were others, when I first came here, but I have seen little of them since. While the ability to understand one another is invaluable, it must be said that finding others who speak Italian in such a foreign place is a comfort.

[madamemoiselle]

[She nods, smiling broadly]

It is, isn't it? Italian isn't my native language, that's French, but I'm pretty good at it, I'd like to think. I guess you'd be the judge of that. [She laughs] But I speak German, English and Russian as well.

[equivoco]

A good selection for a woman such as yourself, and your Italian is admirable. [ he gestures ahead of them; they can walk and talk at the same time. mostly he wants to go get wine, and it wouldn't hurt to get diva a glass, too. ] Do you sing in all these languages as well?

[madamemoiselle]

[And Diva nods slightly, happy to do so—She prefers moving anyways just because she's sort of naturally restless]

Oh, yes, and I can sing in a few more languages too, like Latin, naturally, and Vietnamese, for something different.

[equivoco]

Vietnamese?

[ confused, but curious. ]

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, it's an Oriental language. The country is south of China, to the east, so on the coast. It's a pretty country... I lived there for about two years, so I learned a bit of the language. Not too much, since the upper classes mostly spoke French and English, but I learned enough to get by.

[She makes a thoughtful noise, thinking of something to say, but then settles on something simple,] Nó là tốt đẹp để đáp ứng bạn, "it's nice to meet you." It's very different! And I was never really good at reading it, but it's not as hard as other Oriental languages, like Chinese. I tried to learn that once, but it was too difficult. I need an alphabet, you know?
