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! ]

No, I haven't. [Honestly, what is he doing. The worst possible ambassador from Earth's Land of the Dead, why did they choose him? There must be a million more qualified people.]

I'm from Earth, which probably... doesn't mean much.
demonicbeauty: (Incredulous)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-11-30 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
No. Sorry.

[And she sounds genuinely sorry. Apologetic.]

I don't mean to be rude but...are there a lot of skeletons on Earth...like you?
vagabone: (Default)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-11-30 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Plenty. Not in the living world...

[Yes, here comes the morbid talk, casual as talking about the weather. Don't judge him.]

Earth's afterlife. It's not a bad place. Not heaven, but... eh, good enough.
demonicbeauty: (Confused)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-11-30 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Afterlife?

[That actually explains...some of it. Maybe?]

Do you mean that you're dead?

[Very smooth. She covers her mouth in embarrassment.]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...
vagabone: (joy)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-11-30 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Big ol' toothy smile, complete with one gold cap. Seems he doesn't mind!]

Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal! I've been dead ninety-six years. Longer than most people's lives, I'm used to it by now.
demonicbeauty: (Brave)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-11-30 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's a relief. He knows he stands out. Then again, who is she to talk about standing out?

She's green, most of the time.]


I've met ghosts before. But it's very different where I come from.
vagabone: (Default)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-11-30 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs, quite used to not knowing what the heck is going on.]

I'm not as ghostly as I should be and I can't pop my bones off, everything's different from what it should be.

[There's the not fading thing too. He's had two extra months of unlife... for what it's worth, stranded even farther from home.]
demonicbeauty: (Default)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-01 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Who's to say what should and shouldn't be?

[And she offers him a real, genuine smile at that.

Everyone is always pretending in one way or another.]


I'm sorry you're dead, though. I hear that's not a lot of fun.
vagabone: (an idiot)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course, of course. He hasn't stopped pretending for one second since he arrived--not in front of anyone. Can't do that. Mustn't lose momentum, or he may never be able to keep going.]

Nothing to be sorry about. It's not so different from life in any other city. Less skin, that's one of the tougher things to get used to.
demonicbeauty: (Awkward)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-08 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mean to be rude but...

[She pauses, choosing her words carefully.]

There are some things I've always wondered. If you don't mind...
vagabone: (make it right)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-11 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, not a bit!

[Being a skeleton isn't so bad, in theory--right up until one begins to be forgotten. Why wouldn't he want to talk about it?]

Just, well, keep in mind we're from different places... me being here doesn't mean you'll end up in my afterlife or whatever. I don't know where everyone else goes.
demonicbeauty: (Interested)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-12 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, no, no. I understand completely. It's just that...I'm curious.

[And she has the good sense to at least look embarrassed. Ariadne knows her curiosity can be a pain in the backside.]

In my world...they say that the dead can hear the thoughts of the living. Is that true? When the living think of you?
vagabone: (memories)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-19 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[She asks one question, and he already feels so inadequate. Poorly remembered by the one living person keeping him going, rarely thought of in the last few decades, no chance that'll ever change. But he's the one who led himself down this road, it's his own fault.]

Not hear, exactly. Not in the sense that you know what they're thinking. But you can feel it. Memories, living people telling stories about you... that's what keeps our spirits going.
demonicbeauty: (Default)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-19 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[That makes her smile a little bit. It's sort of a relief. A comfort to know. At least, it makes her feel a little less lonely.]

I hope that's true in my world too.
vagabone: (fond)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-19 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Turned out to be true in my world, obviously, but it's just one of about fifty different things people believe in. I know not everyone ends up a skeleton like myself, I don't think I've met anyone from, say, Europe or China...

[At least, so far as he's aware.] It could be that whatever you believe comes true. You never know. Maybe whoever you're thinking of can hear you.
demonicbeauty: (Awkward)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-19 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Whatever you believe comes true." That's a pretty thought.

[She gives him a sheepish shrug.]

Of course, some people believe some very funny things. Then again, I guess they're not funny to them.

...am I making any sense?
vagabone: (and I apologize)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-21 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
No, you're making sense to me. [A beat. A thoughtful one. Hm.] I could probably come up with something I believe that you'd say is weird, but... eh, nothing's coming to mind. Since it wouldn't be weird to me, you're right.
demonicbeauty: (Amused)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-21 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles softly.]

Or you could make something up. I wouldn't know for sure.
vagabone: (and I apologize)

[personal profile] vagabone 2019-12-24 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, I wouldn't do that, don't worry. Can't beat the truth--I mean, look at me!

[That's the cue for him to shimmy a bit, making all his loose bones wiggle around. Clatter clatter!]
demonicbeauty: (Mischief)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[And that gets an even brighter laugh out of her.]

You are very extraordinary.
