There is a T-shaped catwalk for our contestants to strut their stuff, along with fresh music to get you excited!! Flash photography is encouraged, as are embarrassing clothing mishaps!

There are three rounds to choose from, or do them all for a better score! Choose from a Random Question Round, a Swimsuit Show, or a Dance Off! Each round will have their own comment thread!

Grell is hosting this herself because this was the event she lived for in the other world she came from. She’s wearing an over the top gown and a real tiara. The only reason she isn’t competing is to give everyone else a chance!

[Grell awaits the contestant for this riveting round, with a box covered in glittery wrapping paper upon a stand next to her. Inside are various questions on paper for her to pull out and ask!]

Put on your beach best and wow the crowd! No birthday suits, please!

It’s Dance Dance Revolution! What else would it be?! One song is super hard, and all the others are easy, like like this one! Beat your rivals by getting the highest score!

Who is the most talented?! Is it about quality or quantity?? Let an audience of your peers decide!

Starting at the Residential District in front of CERES Gymnasium, there are various places where you must take a selfie to prove you were there! Feel free to photobomb someone else’s, but characters must still take their own selfies!

First Checkpoint: Entertainment District
Find the game center and take a selfie there! Easy!

Second Checkpoint: Shopping District
Find a mannequin and take a selfie with it!

Third Checkpoint: Research District
Take a selfie in front of the police department with a police officer.

Fourth Checkpoint: Pleasure District
Take a selfie atop of a stripper pole.

Last Checkpoint: Residential District
Take a selfie in the gardens, but beware of the hallucinogen plants!

Then cross the finish line back at the gym to finish your race! Confetti for everyone!

Once all participants are at the start line, the signal is given to begin the race!

[England didn't have very much time to practice in between learning about the charity and the actual event. as such, he decided to pick a song he knew fairly well already, got his hands on a guitar, prayed for sponsors, and rehearsed outside a couple hours for a few days.

he wanted to win this thing.

when he takes the stage, he's not dressed in his usual old-man sweatshirt and slacks. nope, today, he's got on worn skinny jeans, boots, a tee-shirt and jacket. and is that guyliner? well, you have to put on some make-up for the stage. otherwise, you're going to look washed out!

the song starts with some percussion, and then comes the guitar and a tenor voice that you probably didn't expect to come out of this guy's mouth. he can sing well, and he chose a song that would get the audience excited, complete with some high falsetto, and a really cool guitar solo to show off his skills.

he kind of wishes he had time to put together a whole band. but at least this way England can rake in all the glory for himself. he knows he's good, so he's oozing confidence in his performance.

if he has time to do a second song (or if the audience requests an encore), he'll add in Drive My Car, because the guitar in that one is pretty good too]

[Is she surprised she has a sponsor for this? Hardly. Even though this is for charity, Rip views it as publicity for one of her least violent talents. So when she takes the stage, she waits for the music to start and then just.. starts singing.

She definitely does NOT suck, though she IS wearing a rather large toothy grin as she sings as if there's something about the song that she finds funny.]

[As far as talents go, Rip has a pretty unique one. When she takes the stage, she has with her a five foot long flintlock musket. Targets are set up for her. Once they're in place, she just smiles as she tosses her gun in the air, catches it with a twist of her body before dropping to her knees and bringing the heavy antiquated gun up to aim.

Within moment's the room is filled with a large crack as a shot is fired. Rip naturally reloads her musket with a practiced ease as the shot she fired hit one of the targets.. then zipped over to another one, doing zig zags and loops as she obliterates the flimsy thing before the bullet finally embeds itself in a brick laid out for just that purpose.

Rip's humming softly, practically dancing through the trail of her deadly talent before taking a deep bow as the bullet stops... and shatters the brick where it came to rest. Finally she gives her musket another twirl, twisting and catching it on her arms.

At least she knows how to put on a show~.]

[Vietnam promised to do a dance along with her song(s) if she got a lot of charity donations. IT'S A SACRIFICE FOR A HIGHER CAUSE. Part of her regrets it, but as someone who makes a promise, she will not back down!

So she did it, the solo version of some Korean classic that she often did with Taiwan back home as long as Korea actually wasn't looking. At least she has a cute voice (first half) and thanks to being strong and fit, she's got the routine down! But it's clear her enthusiasm lies more at wanting to run away. (That and she's kind of exhausted.)

SHE DID THIS FOR YOU, CEREALIA. RIP.]

[ athena's donning a yellow and white dress as she walks down the catwalk and pulls her question out. RETTSU GO!!!! ]

[ her hair is up in an actual ponytail - not a sideone this time around, and she's wearing this! she doesn't have abs or anything, but she's actually very fit, so she's got a pretty good body to show. ]

[ while athena may have strut like she meant it earlier, this dance off was totally unexpected! so she just tries a moderately easy song, giving each and every other competition the stink eye and hoping they miss a lot come their turn. ]

[ Team Raid Bosses??? That's... not the name she would have suggested, but who cares. She's transformed and ready to duke it out, no matter who her opponent is. ]

Alright, which one of ya bozos wants to go down first?!

(( OOC NOTE: Our team decided that we're just gonna go nuts and tag out of order or thread some encounters one-on-one with the occasional interference or partner swaps. Seems easier and more unpredictable than trying to keep it organised. Hope that's ok! Having said that, feel free to throw anyone at her!! ))

[ Jaune is here in his winter ball suit sans Pyrrha Nikos. He doesn't look too nervous at least, with his mind too occupied being cast back to better times. He hasn't worn this since that night.

In any case, he's ready to tackle this round. ]

[ While Inaba hasn't sung in a while (she has some fond memories of karaoke, after all) she's honestly not half bad. Besides, it's a good way to pass the the time and doesn't require too much hard work. Is she surprised that she got a sponsor for this? A little, actually, but... she knows Ryuko considers her as a friend, even if Inaba herself doesn't really consider her as a friend (???) out loud. She's very protective, after all.

Today, she's decided to sport something pretty casual -- black's her color, after all, so why should she do things any differently today? On stage though, the song that starts to play out is something a little more energetic than she seems.

At the very least, she's not a horrible singer. In fact, it's quite the opposite! And she seems to be singing with quite some emotion, something that's actually pretty rare for her. Or at least, the emotions she's pouring out is something different for most people who know her. ]

[ Here, despite having a ridiculously toned body for a 17 year old (thanks canon), Jaune is flexing around in... a scuba suit??? At least he's not wearing flippers, give him credit. ]

[ Although he and his team could probably keep up with the super hard song, Jaune chose to cruise it through an easier one. Despite showing off and doing more hand movements than necessary, he doesn't miss a single step... has he played this before??? ]

[ 'Team Raid Bosses' wasn't Nanoha's first choice of name. She had wanted something appropriately magical, but Ryuko refused to accept the magical girl moniker so that technically left the team with zero magical girls. (Although Hiro was oddly into it.)

So she went with a technically accurate description. They were all ridiculously tough and suited to taking on several people at once, so Raid Boss it was.

Nanoha's all geared up for the event too. She's wearing her full Fortress regalia, shields and Raising Heart orbiting around her as she hovered in the air over the stage. ]

Well then, it's been a while, but let's go make this a good fight!

[Standing at 6'7" and weighing god-knows-how-much, with a 999/0 kill/death ratio... coming straight from Cerealia's very own Swordhaus, please welcome Iwatooshi to the runway! He'll be sporting a slightly modified bunny suit, complete with coattails and the highest of heels- and let's not forget that he's still brandishing his naginata too, for improv pole dancing? Maybe. For now, enjoy the lights and the booming, bassy jams of his walk.

Despite his size, he's rather swift on his feet, with hips swaying and smile dazzling as always. It really wasn't hard to dress him up and shape his body right, evident by the way his bustier is tight and supporting around his pecs.

With a wink towards anyone and everyone in the audience, he leans forward and blows a kiss before arching back up to slip the jacket off of his shoulders, tossing it into the crowd. The little rabbit tail is now visible, as well as some of his other curves. You're welcome.

He reaches up and tugs on one of the rabbit ears, feigning shyness and pouting. A final (cleavage-bearing) bow, and his time is unfortunately up. He gives a tiny wave and turns smoothly, sashaying away. Thank you for coming out tonight, you were a lovely audience!]

[ He hasn't been in Cerealia that long enough, but raising money to rebuild the new city he's going to live in doesn't sound like a bad idea. Despite being a smoker as well as a bookworm, he's still very much an athlete and is no stranger to running for long stretches.

He's at the halfway point of the marathon already, and the instructions say to take a selfie with a police officer at this checkpoint. It gets a light smirk out of him, considering he's a police officer himself.

While he's going to have to look for another officer before proceeding, how about your character takes a convenient selfie with Kogami? If they don't know that he's an officer yet, they might have seen someone else take a few photos with him by now. ]
