A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival
    KERPLUNK, SPLASH!

    Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's chilly waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. It's paralyzingly cold for a few seconds before you're approached by the Lady of the Lake beneath the water's surface. She puts a vial of a vibrant, glowing red Everwarm* potion to your character's lips. The icy water doesn't feel so icy once consumed and you'll be able to move your limbs enough to swim to shore on your own. She can't stick around to explain, she's got to get this to all the new arrivals! Many of which you'll see plopping in around you.

    If you can't swim, a handful of helpful ice turtles will scoop you up from beneath and drop you off at the shore. When not helping people, the turtles are going around and hitting the ice that keeps forming on the surface with their shells to keep the surface open for the falling arrivals or pushing personal items to the beach near the new arrivals they smell like (belong to). If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. If anyone with Animal Magic asks the turtles, they will give the full spiel, but very slowly, and they like to get off topic and gossip about other turtles you've never heard of. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly.


B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot
    Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones, a pair of earbuds, and a winter cloak** to everyone before getting them settled in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and give them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The rest of the universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go.

    These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, [community profile] avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk.


C ⦿ The Red Spring
    The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies.

    If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing. It may be a little chilly when you get out though, so make sure you don't slip rushing back indoors when you get out!

    The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do... if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there.



Everyone needs a little fun from time to time; the locals have put together the annual Snow Games. As with all things Avalonians plan, magic plays a part in the competition. There will be three separate tiers for characters to enter. Each Tier will have its predetermined track or ring, set up and ready to go.

A ⦿ Foot Races
    The footraces will be run on foot, competitors will be tied together in a three-legged race-style competition... except this binding is magic! The only way to end it is to cross the finish line.

    Along the route, racers can expect to run into minor obstacles such as snow bunnies, puddles that can’t be jumped, a flock of snowbirds giving hassle, trees that upend their own roots and move to confuse the pathway. Whatever the interruption, it will come in the form of either a small creature made of magical snow or some minor hindrance to the path. Competitors will have to use magic to overcome these obstacles. Whatever your magic class, find a way.


B ⦿ Sled Races
    The sled races will be run on magically driven sleds requiring two drivers. Races will not run on one kind of magic alone so be sure to mingle with other classes for this competition. Whatever magic class a character is, they will be required to feed magic into the sled to keep it going; the more magic, the faster it will go.

    On the path, obstacles will come in the form of wholly washed out portions of the track that need to be reformed using magic to pass. Use elemental magic to flatten rocky areas or wash away debris. Larger creatures such as snow deer and moose congregate in large groups blocking the path, so an animal magic user could be useful for asking them to move... someone with cognitive magic could try their hand at a little hypnotizing a fellow newcomer with big muscles to move fallen logs for them. Healing mages could easily use buffers to support their fellow magicians with temporarily increased speed or strength. Use light magic to sneak past living obstacles, or dark users can cast a love enchantment and make a love match between two moose even though it's far from spring. There are tons more creative uses of magic to help you get through the obstacles on the sled's pathway. Find a creative way to use magic and get through the obstacle; make sure you are faster than the other guy.


C ⦿ Snow Chicken
    Snow Chicken, Magic Vs Yeti Style... This competition will differ from the previous two; it is not a race to the finish line but instead a competition to be the last team standing! Participants will pair off and one person will climb on the shoulders of the other and try to wrestle their opponents off without getting knocked off themselves. The field is full of snow, with more coming from the sky. Your opponents will be Yeti. Try to stay on, Yeti are no slouches so teams will have to work together using their magic not only to stay put but to knock your big-footed opponents to the ground.

    Just... be wary, these friendly yeti are surprisingly big on hugging as a form of congratulations. It's much more challenging to escape from a yeti's embrace than it is to knock one over.



Trumpets hail an announcement by the town crier in front of the castle. More than a few people pull out their phones to record it and post it to the AOL network for all to see.

"Hear ye, hear ye! Our noblest of lords, King Arthur of Camelot, will host a tournament on this January the 20th on castle grounds. All are welcome to participate in competitions to determine those most skilled in both the physical and magical arts. In preparation for the upcoming tournament, we are sending envoys to Celliwig. In Celliwig lies the Magic Mirror of the South, gifted to Camelot by the Fae, and a means to communicate with their royal court at will. It is a vastly important task in your journey to become magicians and to show your good will toward the fairies. Parts of the mirror's frame have been damaged. We will need those brave of soul and pure of heart to retrieve the crystals needed to repair the mirror. Those interested, the party leaves at dawn."


A ⦿ Brave of Soul
    The first stop on the trip to restore Celliwig's Mirror is to a cave just north of Albion's White Cliffs. No longer a part of the cliffs themselves, this outcropping goes underground and to a dank, dark cave. It is the only place which a special prismatic crystal grows. The crystal itself is hidden deep in the cave, which can only be passed by passing into a zone in which magic cannot be used. Characters will enter the cave and must face an illusion of one of their greatest fears. Those frozen in fear will pass out and wake up outside of the cave with no crystal. Those who run will find themselves turned out of the cave as well. Only those who recognize and face that fear deep in their soul will find the path forward. The fear will turn into a small light spirit, which will smile and reveal to them the crystals they seek.


B ⦿ Pure of Heart
    The second stop is past a shanty town and at the bridge north of it. The bridge itself is broken, only the ends in existence. The water itself is impassible, white rapids sweeping away anything that steps into it. Silver crystals are on the other side of the bridge, visible in an outcropping from where they are, but it appears there is no way around as magic does not work on the bridge. The only clue as to how to get across is a plaque in the dirt before the bridge.

    "The pure of heart will form the bridge with a leap of faith."

    Since everyone has gone as a group, it will be possible to see others walking over the water once one person figures it out. Though the clue may seem challenging, it is quite straight-forward. Characters who are pure of heart will find that if they believe in themselves, they will be able to step off the bridge and hardlight will form beneath their feet to allow them to step over the water. Those with ill intentions or those who are willing to harm others to get their way will slip into the rapid waters and may need to be saved by other characters. At least you're off the bridge, so magic will work to that end.


C ⦿ Celliwig, the Splendored Court
    As the travelers leave the bridge, they turn toward the shanty town-- wood shacks and failing farms. Not a place anyone would want to visit. Those who try to run ahead will find that it disappears as if an illusion, and they will find nothing. Those who stick with the party will wait a fair distance away until the sun sets. Once the sun begins to fall beyond the horizon, the small town will begin to shimmer brilliant whites and colors-- a glamour hiding its true glory, a city made solely of crystals and glass: Celliwig, the Splendored Court. Though smaller than Camelot, every part of the city is beautiful and glistening. The population is small and it's very quiet and serene for a city. The people of the city don't seem keen on speaking to outsiders, and will typically scatter before anyone can really engage them. They seem humanoid in nature, but not entirely human. Even the animals around the city seem to be ethereal in nature, gliding more than walking.

    The party is led to a hall at the center of the city-- the hall of mirrors. Those who have succeeded in obtaining crystals need to bring them and set them on a table placed before a mirror at the end of the hall, which appears to have a number of empty settings. It's unclear what happened to the mirror previously, but now it's necessary to restore it to garner the favor of the fae.

    Once crystals have been delivered, people will be free to explore the quiet city, but it seems most of the city is closing shop while the visitors are around. There is a restaurant that will serve visitors food, though all of the dishes are of the molecular gastronomy variety. Alcoholic drinks seem to come in vapor form and flashes of light if ordered, but seem effective nonetheless. The local general store seems to be willing to sell supplies to weary travelers as well, but that's about it.

    ...That said the inn doesn't seem particularly keen on allowing visitors in strangely, so you're either going to be sleeping on the iridescent streets or camping just outside the city if you prefer the soft grass and the darkness of night. Just be aware, if you leave, you won't be able to get back into this mysterious city so easily.

Elsa l Frozen

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-01 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ooc: Not sure if I will go with Elsa or someone else, and probably next app cycle if I do once I decide. But. I'm figuring to take her from after the Forest of Shadows novel, which leads into the sequel film, in regards to canon point. With elemental magic, and Olaf with her in this but that may or may nor change yet.]

Arrival:

B:

[Elsa is decidedly. Not taking this the best. She at least doesn't seem bothered by the chill regarding being drenched, or seem too concerned on accepting one of the cloaks. Not does she seem to have any idea about the phones but that is hardly her priority right now as she sets to asking around regarding her sister, Anna. Sticking together with her sister, if indeed Anna was around here among the crowds, was obviously the priority first and foremost, along with getting back home. Somehow.

Along with her seeming to consider the...walking snowman? Talking snowman?! with her perfectly normal. The snowman introduces himself as Olaf, accompanying the blonde as Elsa mingles, flittering among the crowd of new arrivals in asking about Anna.]


Olaf. I don't think everyone here is as used to you. To....talking snowmen. Maybe it'll be easier if I do the talking in trying to see if Anna is here. But...I do wonder. About the magic. Back home, I was the only one.....

C:

Magic teachers? People here that could teach me about magic? I suppose it's worth a try....

[Elsa. Still might be somewhat (read as: very) nervous. Given how powerful her magic is back home and what had happened regarding her using it in hurting Anna like that. But....she has to learn? Right? She's by now figured that her abilities here seem different somehow. In at least. When she's been startled, she hasn't just outright frozen whatever was near her, for example. So this might take some adjusting to, as she heads to the training grounds and attempts to learn about her new abilities in controlling the elements.]

Mirror, Mirror:

A:

[A lot of Elsa's life has been about fear. Fear of her powers. Her responsibility as royalty, in failing her people. In failing her kingdom of Arendelle somehow. Whether she made the right decisions as Queen. She had only recently been faced with dealing with all of that back home thanks to the Nattmara she unintentionally set loose in her fears manifesting. So Elsa, while she is evidently nervous and tense, is able to face this.]

No. No. I can do this. I know I can!

[She ignores the illusion and keeps pushing on. Reaching when she finds the crystals, thanking the little light spirit for their help.]

B:

Pure of heart....with a leap of faith. Hm. A leap of faith.....?

[Elsa frowns, glancing ahead at....well. Nothing? Or at least it looks to be nothing underneath. Nothing underfoot. She considers the clue for a moment, wondering at the hint and whether it was as easy as having faith something would catch them if she did step forward. Was it that simple? The way Anna had complete faith in Elsa to catch her all the time as a child when they played and Elsa made snow banks for Anna to jump to. Or was there more to it? How did one know if they had a pure heart?]

Arrival B

[personal profile] beautyrest 2021-01-02 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
No, I can honestly say that talking snowmen are new for me.

[She giggled.]

But, I am not so unused to magic now. Are you both settling in alright?
liberee: (Been so different)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-03 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine Olaf's probably new to most everyone. Except the people of Arendelle, anyway. But -- wait, you're used to magic? Really?

[Elsa was so used to being the only one. That had to imply Aurora had magic of her own or at least knew of others that had their own abilities, like her with her ice. She can't help being curious and distracted in spite of herself, in spite of their current situation.

She doesn't even seem to register on Olaf seeming all excited and tugging at her skirt, as he answers that they're fine but looking for Anna.]
beautyrest: (Comfy) (Elsa and Aurora)

[personal profile] beautyrest 2021-01-05 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
I am, I was raised by three fairies, and cursed by another. [Although her aunts had never used magic until her birthday.]

Arendelle, is that your kingdom, then?
liberee: (All my life)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-05 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
You were cursed? Though -- yes. Yes, Arendelle is my kingdom.

[Elsa frowns, wary and perhaps mindful this might be a little too personal or too upsetting to ask on the curse like that, but. She wouldn't force it if Aurora didn't want to divulge in the details.

She isn't constantly wearing her crown or anything, so one could easily be forgiven in not picking up that she is a Queen. Still, certain wording might still give her away. That and the talkative snowman at her side, as Olaf gasps at the mention of a curse and raises his twig arms and hands to his mouth.]

Mirror Mirror - B

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-01-02 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
That's me out.

[ Crowley spoke as he sauntered off to the side of the path and turned his back on the bridge. The last thing he saw himself as was Pure of Heart. That was more Angel and Princess territory not something demons dabbled in. ]

What about you? Are you reliable, trustworthy, some one who would never betray anyone... ever?
liberee: (Born?)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-03 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Me? I.....I'd like to believe I am reliable. That my people trust me.

[The betraying might be....complicated. But it wasn't like either of the times she attacked Anna was on purpose exactly? There would probably always be some lingering guilt around that though, that what he says last regarding betraying someone.....did that count? She isn't sure. Elsa bites at her lower lip, frowning and her gaze lowers.]
serpentinthegarden: (What if there was no boy)

[personal profile] serpentinthegarden 2021-01-03 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
But you aren't sure.

[ It was easy enough to pick out the hesitation in the way she stood near the bridge and held that waver in her voice. ]

I wouldn't jump in. Its a long fall into dangerous looking waters.
liberee: (Too late for second guessing)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-03 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Elsa glances down, thinking on how high up this was. Normally she might just create a bridge of her own, out of her ice. But she isn't sure if that's exactly what she was supposed to do here. Would that be cheating? Maybe this was something like the ice but you couldn't necessarily see it? She isn't sure.]

I....I don't know. I've done things I regret. My sister....but I'm not sure on just outright jumping. Maybe just a step? To test it?

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-01-07 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Those rapids are too fast to swim out of, so they would certainly be swept away if they fell in. The thought sends a chill down Nyuu's spine. Besides, could she still be considered pure of heart despite sharing a body with Lucy? A confirmed murderer?

Nyuu hums in thought at she glances back and forth between the plaque and the broken bridge, listening to the woman next to her thinking aloud.
]

Maybe we're overthinking it? Maybe it really is just straightforward?

[What may be considered strange about Nyuu upon first glance are the two white horns poking through her bright pink hair. They kind of look like cat ears.]
liberee: (Too late for second guessing)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-08 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. It's...I can't just create a bridge of ice like I normally would have. But also. If we take it literally as an act of faith, to just walk across as if there is still a bridge under our feet. Is that it? It seems too simple almost if so.

[Well. Assuming one is pure of heart and what qualifies one for that? Elsa isn't necessarily sure if she would count, given what she had done. To Anna. Then with her unleashing the Nattmara back home. Unintentionally, true but still. She barely reacts if she does glance in noticing the horns. Perhaps because Nyuu seems human enough otherwise and she was used to the likes of the trolls. It might seem rude to just outright ask, after all.]
scarredhorns: (Looking for shells)

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-01-11 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? So you could already do magic back home? That's amazing!

[She smiles and then chuckles.]

It is too bad you're unable to do so now. It would have made this easier. Then if I still had my own powers, I could have jumped across.

[Nyuu raises a hand to rest her chin atop her knuckles, closing her eyes in thought and giving a long hum.]

Hmmm.... Is it really that simple? Or is there a hidden meaning to it? But, there's not really much else to go on from the plaque, and I haven't seen anything in our surroundings that suggests there could be more to it. We can't even use our new magic to get across.

[She opens her eyes and shrugs.]

It's almost like it's beckoning us to just walk across.
liberee: (You mean well)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-12 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
With ice. Yes. I was born with it. You could...you could jump that far? That's pretty impressive.

[Maybe Anna would get more excited and enthusiastic on such things. Elsa's a little more reserved, a little more cautious even if she is impressed. Even if she is amazed at the chance to talk to, to meet others with any sort of abilities like her own.]

Is it really that simple? Just...walking? I was debating on if that was it. Or if that seems too easy.

[personal profile] fullgauntlet 2021-01-08 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Luckily Elsa doesn't need to be the only person around who's nervous. Izuku Midoriya is also looking fairly nervous about all this magic business as well. Magic isn't exactly the same as something like a Quirk or superpower. It seems like a strange concept that he can't quite wrap his head around yet.

But he's still a little excited...]


It's good that they're offering teachers to help us with getting used to it. Uh... If you want, we could maybe work together?
liberee: (Normal rules)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-08 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
It is. I....never had that. I mean, I had tutors for my studies, of course but. Not in regards to my abilities. So this is quite different, here. I wouldn't mind working together if you wanted to. Do you know what....powers you have here?

[She is curious. About the different kinds of powers or abilities people have here. Back home, it was just her. Just her ice. Let alone all of this. It's a little exciting even if she is also partly nervous and terrified all at once. It's going to take some time if she is ever not curious and excited and in awe of it all, as well as being cautious in being aware of how things were back home when her abilities got out of control.]
fullgauntlet: <user name=asdagfsd> (14328984)

[personal profile] fullgauntlet 2021-01-08 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He would be lying to himself if he wasn't a little excited that he has his own sort of magic to discover for himself. Something that's going to be his power alone! So having others to work with is nice too. Because he has no idea what he's doing.]

Sure, I think it would be good if we worked together. Does... that mean you have other abilities separate from these?

[He rubs his hair.]

As for me, I guess I've started with a bit of elemental magic. I don't really know what that might mean but I'm guessing it's stuff like fireballs and lightning bolts?
liberee: (The reason)

[personal profile] liberee 2021-01-09 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
I..hm. My power -- gift? It was ice. I created a palace of ice, created snowmen and ice rinks and that sort of thing all the time.

[So. Hers is more specific. Than this elemental magic with all of them. Fire, water and such like that. Elsa's going to have some adjusting and learning on her end as well. She isn't sure on his situation back home, but she gives a nod of agreement.]

I suppose it would be, yes. Elements....fire, water, air, earth? That sort of thing?

[ Bakugou actually hasn't had that many fears in his life. Not while growing up. He had never been afraid of his Quirk. Never feared the power of his explosions. Not the backlash or the kickback from them. There had never been a fear of how people would react to his Quirk because nearly everyone had them all. ]

You gonna stand there talking to yourself or are you gonna go?

[ For Katsuki, he hadn't been well and truly afraid of anything, or hadn't acknowledged it until perhaps half a year ago or so. His fear is something a little more complicated. It's not a situation. It's not a thing or an object. No, that'd be way too simple and something that Katsuki could obviously do something about.

Rather, Katsuki's illusion is a child. A child that looks exactly like himself. Or perhaps it takes shape into another version of himself in a middle school uniform. ]

Hm? Oh....yes. Yes, I'm going!

[Elsa gives a determined nod, lips pursed as she steps forward more. She's certainly in appearance not the most threatening. And depending on what someone else might have been through, her memories might not be so awful, but even so. Elsa has to do this. She's done this already in some ways, in dealing with the Nattmara back home. The literal manifestation of her fears, her insecurities.

Ignoring, or at least, trying to, the illusion of the much, much younger her playing with her sister, creating snow mounds for Anna to jump to and finding Anna going too fast. Hitting her in the head with her abilities as she had tried to keep up and create something for Anna to land on. The moment in the ice palace where she had gotten overwhelmed and her powers had struck Anna's heart. The moment Anna had frozen in front of her in her defense against Hans.]

[ Like Elsa, he's not really going to be held back by his fears or insecurities. They don't really make him pause or anything like that. Save for how tight his jaw is clenching, one wouldn't really know that what he sees bothers him at all. Besides... He's making up for everything that he's done. That should be enough, right? ]

Got some internalized issues, huh?

[ Besides. It's much easier to focus on someone else's other than his own! ]

I'm doing better than I was. But....I'm not sure I'll ever entirely not feel some worry over the responsibility of ruling. The guilt of my mistakes.

[She can't deny that. Even with the Nattmara incident. She's trying to do her best to move on and accept her responsibility, to have more confidence. To try move forward from the guilt when everyone else seems to be fine in accepting her after what happened. She glances to him then, hand to her chest and glancing down briefly.]

What about you?

[ It may be Zuko's purity of heart that makes him so headstrong — or he may just not think things through well cuz he's a little brazen. But for all his worries and doubts in himself, which surely he can chew on once he's not trying to swallow them, he's keen on the direct, simple approach. ]

I think it wants us to just walk off the cliff. If we think we'll make it, then we will.

To just....I wondered but I wasn't sure if it was really that simple.

[Well. Maybe it isn't. The whole pure of heart thing. How many could really be pure of heart? With how many people had their mistakes, their regrets and guilt? She isn't sure. Isn't sure if she counts, given her having hurt Anna twice for example.]

What else could "leap of faith" mean if not a literal leap of faith? Right?

[ He's focused on the actionable half, she's focused on the activating half... He probably should be more concerned, and if he thinks about it too long, he'll get there. But it wasn't so long ago the most important person in the world to him, whom he's hurt, insulted, betrayed, reassured him with tremendous and unwavering love and respect that he's "an idealist with unquestionable honor and a pure heart." One doesn't forget words like that so easily — not after all the mistakes Zuko has made, and all the change he's done within himself to heal from it. He has a bit of wind beneath his sails still on this. And if it fails... He also has airbending magic now that could hopefully save his ass just before it hits the rocky waters, worse case scenario. Although he doesn't really know how to use it yet... Headstrong regardless. It will be a nonstop theme in Avalon. If his familiar means to protect him, it'll be protecting him from himself half the time, and the poor creature's got its work cut out for it. ]

I suppose. Just.....have faith.

[She gives a nod. His logic makes sense. She just had been unsure if it really were that easy. That simple. Assuming one was pure of heart, that is. Still, nothing for it but to try? To see? Right?

Not that she is necessarily aware of her new powers here but she does know her usual abilities aren't an option. Elsa takes a breath, making to step forward unless he stops her from doing so in testing this theory. If she fell, well. It isn't like there wasn't Anna to take over, if something did happen to her?]
