[IC]New Years Festival: Acrobatics Contest

[Oath]

2:00PM

In one of the greener areas of town, many people can be seen gathering around what looks to be an obstacle course. A few townsfolk are flagging down each person and doing their best to persuade them to join. "Come one, come all! Participate in the obstacle course and have a chance to win fabulous prizes. The goal is simple. Make your way through the course as swiftly as possible while wearing your street clothes. No armor! You there! You know you want to test your abilities to the fullest!"

[Mumble Dragon]

Our loveable little frog adventurer has somehow made his way out of the guild hall and onto the streets. Wakan Tanka could hear the loud noises and joyous laughter even from his inconspicuous hideaway. Whatever fun these people were having, Wakan had to be a part of it.

The wonderful smell of baked goods wafted through the air, drawing him farther and farther into town. His trail eventually led him to a fresh part of the city, unnaturally green compared to some of the alleys he just wandered through.

All sorts of strange objects seemed to be splayed out across the green scenery before him. And at the center of it all, stood a man at a booth, beckoning every passerby to come and join in the festivities.
"I seem to have found myself in some form of strange place," he croaked, scratching his froggish chin in mock contemplation. "It seems that I have stumbled upon a race?" The thought of a this test of acrobatics sent his spirits a thrill, for as long as he didn't have to jog up a hill.

Aion Loucelles was really getting into the festival. All of the guild members were characters, with their own quirks and personalities, especially distinctive visually. He hadn't seen too many Elves yet though, which was in part disappointing but also a relief. He couldn't bare to be judged next to them anyway. With another graceful step he encountered the Acrobatics Contest, with an obstacle course.

The man couldn't help be chuckled at how familiar it looked. He was used to running through military versions of these, though this one looked a bit more whimsical and possibly more difficult. Aion began doing a series of quick stretches in the grass, getting pumped up to really put his maneuvers to the test.

Braxton cracked his knuckles load enough for everyone there to hear. The man had just finished slipping on a fresh new shirt and a set of push-ups to get the blood flowing for the contest. His muscles were so over-developed that it was hard to imagine such a man could do anything remotely acrobatic. Braxton was practically chuckling with anticipation for the start of the contest, so much so that he simply cut in line, his massive form casting a shadow over at least three people behind him waiting.

Callista Fae

Being one who preferred flying over regular maneuvers on the ground, Callista found herself once again at a contest that she was not too confident she could win. She was sure there were many more that she would be under-skilled in compared to other contestants, but no one ever won anything for not trying, so she sure as heck was going to give it a try. Thus, Callista joined the group of hopeful winners in her child-size form. She wondered if her time playing with the children of the city would help her out at all. If not, that was okay, there were plenty of other contests to participate in before the day was ended.

The faerie found herself off to bad start, tripping immediately and rolling into a splat on the ground. She picked herself up after a moment of dizziness and looked around at the other contestants. Maybe if she used her wings to help... She was still in the habit of hiding them when she enlarged her body to her child size, so its not like anyone would notice her invisible wings helping her out... And so, with that thought in mind, the faerie continued, using her wings to help her keep from doing her first mishap again the whole way down the street.

[Nyuko Nyun]

Nyuko had spotted the little frog! He had to chase after it.

"Wakan-nya!" The catboy called, his eyes darting back and forth until finally, he saw him. There you are! The catboy grinned as he started a mad dash towards the frog-like being. Wakan was going through some sort of obstacle course?

"Not going to let you beat me-nyan!" With that he dashed off again, his eyes straight on his prey.
