Characters: FISH OLYMPICS PARTICIPANTS and whoever wants to watch
Location: ISLAND
Time: Allllll dayyyyy
Style: First
Status: OPEN. threadhop, threadjack, be competitors

[ And thus with the opening of the festivities came the poor harassed native who had to run his way up through the elevator (he jogged in place) and all the way around the island to the beach where the majority of the events would occur--

Carrying one of these beauties. Yes, that is a glowstick trident.

The natives are cheapskates, okay.

Regardless, there is quite the crowd there watching you all compete. May the...best (?) team win? ]

WEDNESDAY - WATER PAINT BALL

[ in the small, pleasant forested area near the elevator, there have been left what look like, well, bazooka launchers. Your ammo? Water balloons with colored water in them. It’s hard to say what the natives put into them, but that color sticks. You can throw the balloons or you can shoot them at each other or really, anything goes.

The team with the last person standing, not soaked and not colorful, wins!

This is a full team event, and friendly fire is a thing, so be careful! Or don’t. That’s cool too.]

THURSDAY - FLY FISH SKIING

[ viewable from a distance, there are 8 platforms set out in the ocean, each with a large banner hanging above them with each team’s respective betta printed on them. tied to the platforms and ready for racing are four of these per team (each about the size of ice skates); they appear to be in a set of two, if the way the harnesses connect two together is anything to go by. contestants are expected to strap them on their feet, and use bridles for steering. they’re a little tricky to maneuver and can be a bit temperamental, so good luck!!

the racing course is set to a marker about a half of a mile out at sea; retrieving the flag and bringing it back first makes you the winner! ]

FRIDAY - SAND CASTLE BUILDING

[ build a sandcastle.

Kicking other team’s sandcastles over is probably against the rules but it’s not like anyone is watching so. Don’t build it too close to the waves, either; you don’t want them washing away your work of art. Your tools are buckets, shovels and whatever you can find on the beach.

Go wild.]

FRIDAY - SWIMMING RACE

[ contestants will swim a pre-set track, spanning across the course both above water and underwater. the track is marked by buoys above, and hoops below. the underwater section appears about halfway through the course. the participant to reach the end of the course first wins! hopefully you’re a good swimmer. ]

MEDICAL TENT

[ the head nurse arranged for this citing that she knows you're all a bunch of idiots. ]

As an added note, we know some of this stuff isn’t the easiest to play out--but this is also a great space for team shenanigans before and after the events as well. Feel free to use this log for things like that as well!

[bakegarasu]

[He doesn't pay attention to either Zelda or Sola, just stares at Johnny for a moment longer - and then heads out of the tent quickly. He'll burn off his frustration later.]

[replicatedcourage]

[Johnny's sudden move from his side to the end of the tent causes Sola to furrow his eyebrows, worried over his matesprit's reaction. He couldn't care less that Otoha's left but Johnny sounding so tired and uncomfortable is something he can't let stand. He has to help, somehow.]

Johnny...?

[not_heavens_adam]

[He pushes down the dread at hearing his name and, silently, he prays Sola won't bring it up again. Gathering what bits of his mask were still intact, Johnny offers a small smile.]

It's fine, Sola.

[zelda_hylia]

[There is a reason that Zelda gets along with Zelos so well - she is just as private as he is.]

If he is a fast healer, we shouldn't make him talk too much or his jaw may heal incorrectly. I'm sure he'll be fine in about an hour.

[It's a white lie. She knows there's no breakage or even danger at this point, but Sola doesn't. Johnny can say he's fine if he wants to, but she'll offer him an out. The poor man, trapped in here with a woman he barely knows and being forced to reveal personal details!]

[replicatedcourage]

It's not fine, you're upset.

[He's not the most observant of people but it's obvious enough with the slipping of Johnny's mask of geniality. Getting up, the Hylian makes his way over to the end of the tent but stops before he actually gets too close.

Is this his fault too? He can't help but feel like it, since Johnny had absconded as he did. A small knot forms in the pit of Sola's stomach. He doesn't understand though; Otoha had hit Johnny, but is he upset with him for fighting? Maybe they are friends but it still didn't look like friendship to Sola.]

I'm sorry. I don't like seeing you get hurt...

[The real reason for Johnny's upset is completely lost on the replica. He glances at Zelda and nods, feeling incredibly out of place and unwelcome, not because of their actions but because of his own guilt.]

I'll go, then. I'm kind of bad at not talking. I'll be back later, though, maybe.

[With a single glance back, Sola heads for the front flap of the tent, only dragging his feet a little.]
