OPEN | TOURNAMENT OF THINGS
Who: Hosts, Participants, Volunteers, Spectators, Merchants, and all your pets. everyone and everything.
What: The Tournament of Worlds & Magick
When:extremely late Day 218 - 221
Where: The Arena in the Thor District
Rating: uh, probably PG-13 at most, for violence?
[ Due to limited player response and sign-ups, we've cut back on how long the tourneys run and had to mix up the tier systems. We had only one entry for Team Magic, so this division has, unfortunately, been cancelled. There will still be a neat-o consolation prize for Kaz and Euri though. Marksmanship and Hand-To-Hand Combat will run on a round-robin tournament set-up, wherein each contestant will face all other contestants within their division once to determine the champion for each division. Swordsmanship will run on a single elimination tier-system until the final tier, at which point we have three remaining contestants (again, due to limited sign-ups). To determine the overall champion of this division, the contestants will be dropped into the multi-terrained ground as detailed in this entry. They'll have twenty-five (25) minutes to knock each other out of the ring. Last one standing wins. Individual Magic will follow the same system as the final tier of Swordsmanship.
All competitions and champions have been determined by the Random Number Generator. The complete layout can be found here. Each Day/Division/Contest will be given a top-level comment below for the involved players to play out their matches if they'd like, as well as for friends and family (or enemies!) to stand around and shout obscenities and all that fun stuff.
A million thank-yous to Kami and Dai for helping out with this, and then another million apologies to all of the players involved that have had to wait on this. I know it's painfully late, and for that, I do sincerely apologise. Life got ahead of me on top of the complications in configuring the mechanics of the tourney. Thanks again for your patience.
If you have any questions or comments, or if both players involved in a match would like to discuss a different outcome of their match, please use the OOC comments section below! Those involved in the three-way Swordsmanship final, we do ask that you pop on in there to let us know how you feel about determining the champion there, because sob it makes sense to none of us, but we will figure it out! We can always just do another RNG roll. Up to you guys!
Aaand we're done! Feel free to start your own threads wherever you'd like. The only thing we ask is that if you plot any cheating, sabotage or other shenanigans that would require interference, let us know. I totally encourage it, so that we can break out some cans of whoop-ass on you hooligans.
but other than that, go crazy and have fun! ♥ ]

It just takes him a bit to relax around people. [Now he shakes his head.] Sometimes he makes it really difficult for himself. Even if he doesn't think of you that way, I still think you're good for him. Maybe you'll even soften him up a bit, convince him to get out more. I'd do it myself, but I don't think he's completely forgiven me for leaving Ealdor yet.

[she rubs a hand over her face. her knuckles aren't healed yet, and a closer look reveals that the scabs aren't just dark, they're actually black]
He does, though. Make things complicated. And he'd rather not try than maybe fail. I told him I'd teach him how to fight, if he wanted.
no subject
[Especially after what happened to his father, but Merlin's not going to say that. If Will hasn't told her about it yet, then it's not his story to tell when there's no need to.
Merlin catches sight of her knuckles and frowns.] What's that?
no subject
[there's a momentary wince when she catches him looking at her knuckles, but then she just sighs]
It's blood. Mine's not...normal.
[caught out, she pushes up her sleeves so he can see. her bruises are dark, and any cut or scrape he hasn't healed yet is scabbed shiny and black, although on the larger scrapes there's the occasional hint of dull red or gold]
no subject
[Merlin leans in to look at the bruises curiously.]
Your blood looks like that? Is it because you're a shapeshifter in your world?

Does it hurt you?
no subject
Not here. The magic's gone out of it, just like everything else. The essence isn't entirely gone, but without power it doesn't mean much. I don't know yet if it will or not at home. It happened just before Asgard.
no subject
So nothing can be done about it here?

I wouldn't mind trying, even if it doesn't hurt you here.
