The Vytal Festival tournament, as many know, is an event notable for celebrating diversity, individuality, and self-expression. However, the modern iteration is also home to corporate greed and plentiful advertisements and sponsorships. After what would seem like an eternity, the final advertisement would finally come to a close. ”-And you too can be the epitome of power, elegance, or whatever else you desire...with Schnee dust. The Schnee Dust Company is not liable for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company Product. Supplementary safety brochure is included with every product. As the final ad concluded, the familiar crackling of the speaker returned as it always did before a match.
”Good afternoon and welcome back to the second round of the forty-first bi-annual Vytal Festival tournament! As you know I’m Primrose Palatine. It would seem Hunter is missing in action, but I’m sure you can all pardon his absence. Anyways, excuse all of the ads, but they help pay for this wonderful event so please bear with us. Speaking of wonderful though, we have another exquisite matchup today! Our first combatant, Mr. Juno Vert was able to single handedly take down the ‘up-and-coming legend’ Coconut Cream. But will his hardlight be enough to take down his opponent, Billy Bone; the quickdraw sniper who won through...opponent concession. While an unmerited victory, we’ll see if they can prove their worth in this second round match!” Motioning to the spinner to begin, the program would be able to begin rather flawlessly due to the unexcused absence of a certain announcer.
A large holographic image of a lottery machine appears on all sides of the arena, with two spinners. The spinners spun so quickly, making it nearly impossible to make out the passing words. It ticked through the options slower and slower until it finally stopped on Ice and Swamp.
The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose two new floors. On Juno’s side, a frozen lake would constitute the entire field. Almost completely frozen through, one wouldn’t need to worry about falling through, but only slipping and sliding around. Arising from this lake would be 5 cylindrical pillars of ice hollowed out in the center. Filled with ice cold water, these would spray anyone within proximity to them when shot, pierced, etc. What a shame that such beautiful ice creations had to be used for this. On Billy’s side, a shallow, muddy marsh would rise, featuring no platforms of note this time. A couple of downed trees can be found within the area, both large enough to crouch behind for cover. Be warned though, crouching in the marsh water is gross.
As the spinner finished its job and faded away, the doors on each side of the arena opened to signify the start of the match.
(A coin flip has decided that Billy will get the first post. The arena size is identical to that of the 1v1 arena in the show, however, it features scaled down biomes to fit the size. Good luck, and may the best combatant win.)
