Attleton Olympics - Catch-All
What: Catch-all for the Attleton Olympics
When: July 26th till August 2nd
Where: Attleton, Battle Colosseum
Warning: Should be mostly PG-13, with some competitions possibly going up to R?
[The streets of Attleton are buzzing with activity, visitors and residents alike crowding the streets and headings towards the Colosseum. Colorful decorations adorn the streets and parts of the buildings, there are tents and vendors near the Colosseum that sell snacks, soft drinks and plushies for the little ones (or not so little ones).
The inauguration starts at dusk with the first colorful fireworks announcing that is time to take a seat and enjoy the celebrations. The attending mayors and Guardians of each city and their deputies have a designated VIP zone to watch the ceremony unfold.
It kicks off with a vibrant bang, a succession of dancers, musicians and volunteers fill the Colosseum dressed in different colors representing the five cities. It's passionate, welcoming and nothing ostentatious, much like Attleton itself.
One of the highlights of the night is the singer Sonico Super, elegantly dressed, with an emotional performance.
Following the performance comes the inaugural speech of Attleton Guardian, Cassian Andor. Cassian stands up and approaches the dais, wearing the same black suit he had worn for the Genessia Awards and a new tie along with tie pin and cufflinks. He looks perfectly at ease, he’s even smiling, but those who know him well enough will note that both is very unlike him when it took days of persuasion for him to give the opening speech. ]
Dear citizens of Attleton, dear guests. Attleton has always prided itself on its hospitality. The time has come for all of Genessia to be our guests, and share with us the fruits of our labor in the Games. We invite you to prove your mettle in the arena, and cheer on the athletes from five cities, but most of all we invite you to come together in co-operation and friendly competition for the betterment of all. The memories of pain and battle from the third Breach may still be at the forefront of our minds, but we stand strong, and will be stronger yet for standing united. In this spirit, I hereby declare the Attleton Olympic Games opened.
[At last, it's time for the Olympic Flame lighting. The cauldron stands as a seven-story-high tower at the peristyle east of the stadium, impossible to miss. A shiny, tall figure moves to stand in the center of the Colosseum, carrying a traditional bow that was almost half his size.
Kay has polished his frame for the occasion and calmly notches the arrow, soon to be flaming. After a few seconds aiming, he shoots it 230 feet into the air, over the cauldron and finally igniting the flame that would burn during the 7 days of Attleton's glory. Music and breathtaking fireworks start soon after.
The Games have started.]
[OOC: The opening ceremony and competition logs will be posted to this log, but you’re welcome to make your own Olympics-related posts, we just don’t want to spam the comm. Check out the roster and info post. If you haven’t yet, please plot with your competitors and give us the results. Results still outstanding by the 31st will be RNG'd.
You are welcome to play out as many matches as you like, but you don't need to RP everything.]

[Look not even holding their paintball gun in a way that would make it easy for them to shoot at Tony, now.]
That and why don't we team up or something? We're probably the youngest folks in this thing after all.
no subject
I'm listening. What's the catch?
no subject
[Damn they could just shoot Tony right now, but this other kid is just...
He could be useful.]
no subject
Okay, you got yourself a deal. I'm Tony Clark, what's yours?
no subject
I'm Chara, it'll be a pleasure working with you Tony.
[They just give Tony their best most innocent smile now.]
no subject
[Because for him, running and shooting seems to be his best strategy so far.]
no subject
Sort of a bait and switch thing.
no subject
Let's do it!
[He then cocks his paintball gun to ready himself for a paintball battle of a lifetime.]
no subject
[WOW that was dark, good job Chara. But when Tony cocks his paintball gun that's their cue, they ready their own weapon and are off to do their part of this plan.
Which is to stay out of sight and shoot some idiots.]
Do you want a time skip?
Wait, wha?!
[But just as he turns to ask about their twisted joke, he can see that Chara already took off.
Oh well, he'll try to ask them later. Right now, it's paintball time as he runs forward to get some suckers.]
time skip is great.
Not that he's aware of that, as Chara keeps up their side of the deal until well.
It's the two kids and one more person left.]
no subject
Of course, he approaches the strange child with a grin and a paintball gun on his right hand.]
Well, looks like it's you, me, and that other person I've missed.
no subject
[Chara's stance is relaxed, as if they're not worried at all.
Well that and they'll have no issue getting their own weapon ready in a flash to shoot Tony. If they need to.]
So do you want to go after the other guy or well... End this now?
no subject
Hang on. I thought you said we should eliminate the participants before we do our final showdown. And you said it yourself that there's only one guy left.
no subject
[They're so calm about this, no anger in their voice or expression. Even as they're bringing up their paintgun to aim right at Tony.]
I'd say that this was fun, but really you're kind of annoying.
[Hope Tony is ready to dodge, because Chara is just going to shoot him.]
no subject
no subject
They just drop to the ground, almost bonelessly, and rolling away from the other kid. And also managing to keep firing at him.]
no subject
no subject
This is why you should trust no one, kiddo.
[And to add salt to the wound? Hope Tony enjoys having a few more shots fired at him as he's on the ground.]
no subject
In short, this is another level of humiliation.]
no subject
Because that's what second place is. Being the best loser.]
