NEW LOCATION: ÁRÆÐI COLISEUM

Who: ANYONE
What: the grand opening of the Áræði Coliseum
When: early November (pssh dates)
Where: Tyr's district
Rating: PG-13; please take anything higher than this to a private log!



Tyr volunteered himself to the task of creating a training facility for the Wanderers to explore the powers bestowed upon them by the gods. For the God of Courage and Diplomacy, however, there is far more to such a concept than the simple notion of magic. Today, he unveils the newest attraction in his district: the Áræði Coliseum, where mortals can come to test their mettle in a wide variety of fields.

In Leikrúnhöll, you can find a large facility of smooth, clean surfaces and user-friendly controls to be able to build the right environment to practice your magic safely in. Indestructible targets, magic- or sound-proof rooms, or any other equipment you might need is available by request.

In the Karasuno Courts, you'll find every field or court necessary to play many of Earth's most popular sports, including but by no means limited to football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, swimming, tennis, and whatever else you can think of! The necessary equipment is available and a healthy number of Asgardian natives are plenty interested in learning the rules.

But because that's not enough, not by a long shot, the rest of the Áræði Coliseum is filled with a vast assortment of bizarre challenges and gravity defying sports. There's even these strange, empty holes that many people seem to cautiously avoid for fear of whatever they may do. Whatever fun, weird, and potentially dangerous challenge you can think of can likely be found in the coliseum in some fashion. American Ninja Warrior courses? You betcha. Go wild with this one.

Tyr built this place to be fun yet challenging, strenuous but exciting, and most importantly: the more people there together, the better it is. Invite your friends to a race through an inflatable obstacle course or team up to show them who's really the best at badminton. Enjoy yourselves!

[ OOC NOTE: This is the grand opening of the Áræði Coliseum, a new location in Tyr's district that will be available for use from this point forward! We have a bunch of other new locations being added all the time, so please do let us know if you have any questions or ideas!

And as a side note, we have an IC Q&A about the god powers happening here and an OOC Q&A about the god powers happening here if you need any help or have any question! ]

It does!

[What a relief. It's come to the point where anyone from Earth is practically a neighbor. Can't take anything for granted these days...]

I'm from Mexico. Other side of the world from you... but I would have thought they had sports in Japan too?

[ Sorry, Héctor, but Chizuru actually has no idea where Mexico is.. so she'll just have to take him by his word about the whole "other side of the world" deal. She doesn't even want to bring up that she hasn't heard of it before since she doesn't want to be rude! ]

.. Really?

[ She looks like she's giving some serious thought as to why he'd think that.. ]

Well, the country is kind of closed off from the rest of the world, so a lot of things that exist out there haven't made it to us.. I think.

Really? [My, there must be an echo in here.] Maybe we're not from the same place after all. I'd always thought the best fancy modern things come from Japan. Televisions, calculators, those sorts of things.

[...He probably means computers.]
tealeafs: (i will watch over our encounter)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2019-12-08 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Tele.. visions?

[ From the way she repeats the word, it sounds like it might as well have been in a completely foreign language to her. ]

I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound familiar to me at all. I wonder if the place called Japan you know and the one I come from are just different places that happen to have the same name.. [ Although that would sure be an odd coincidence. ]
vagabone: (wait wait wait)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-12 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[That it would. He's still holding the basketball, now very much distracted.]

Have you thought that you might be from the past? You know, my world's past. Televisions aren't that old, they hadn't been invented when I was alive... heck, we didn't even have radio.
tealeafs: (shedding your petals graciously)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2019-12-12 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Radio? [ Yeah, that doesn't look like it sounds familiar to her either. ]

That could be so, since I've never heard of either of those things before. [ Chizuru pauses, seemingly overthinking something. Then she gives him a half-awkward, half-hesitant sort of look. ] Um, not to be impolite, but.. I've never heard of skeletons walking or talking where I come from though.

[ Unless that's also some weird newfangled future thing! ]
vagabone: (and I apologize)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-20 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[No offense taken, his grin pops right back up.]

Oh, well, normally the living can't see us. I'm dead, see. Kind of like a ghost! [Is it weird to seem proud of the fact that one is dead? Consider him a weirdo, then.] And we don't visit the living world much. Just once a year, it's the only time we can cross over. It's a real special occasion to us dead guys.
tealeafs: (as you bloom again)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2019-12-21 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.. I guess that makes more sense.

[ Maybe she shouldn't find this so normal, but really, considering all the talk of ghosts where she comes from it feels a lot more normal than a walking skeleton.. ]

Then it's probably pretty special for you to be among the living people all the time here, right?
vagabone: (Default)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-24 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs, unwilling to lie.] Not really. Mostly we look forward to it because we can see the living half of our families. Other than that, the dead are just... normal people. I'm not doing much different than I would be normally.

[A whole lot of nothing, really. Then again, entertaining the kiddos in Frigga's hospital is the closest he's come to having a real job in years.]
