OPENING CEREMONIES

[judgepanel]

★ WELCOME TO THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES ★

[ congratulations, fellow athletes, and welcome to the summer olympic games! the opening ceremony was beautiful and involved lots of pomp and circumstance. enjoy the team walk, snipe at the country in front of you's uniforms, wave at the crowd, throw up on someone's feet out of nerves and excitement, but most of all, make sure you smile and wave because you are live and on tv! a lot of tv. no worries.

there's a dinner in the olympic village that acts as a mingle for athletes. do you stick to your team or meet your competitors? is your old friend on a separate team? is the food any good? figure it out.

or maybe the opening ceremony has ended and you're hard at work practicing in the gym? after all, no one goes into any international competition cold. the practice facilities are only a mile from the olympic village and are as massive as anyone could imagine. any sport you want, any equipment you want--everything's here.

attached to the gym is a sauna, a great place to meet sweaty other athletes. naked.

or maybe you'd like to visit the olympic village itself. meet your neighbors, explore the shops, have some coffee... do what you like. the living accommodations are spacious and deserve exploring as well. just try not to throw any wild parties. (or do. the competition technically starts tomorrow but not everyone's playing... better not piss off the neighbors, though.)

no matter what you do--whether it's something listed here or something else entirely, the summer olympics are OPEN FOR BUSINESS. ]

a. olympic village

[Asahi came from a very small town in Miyagi, Japan- the size and population of the Olympic Village was more than a little overwhelming. Everywhere he looked, there were huge guys or svelte girls (or even huge girls and svelte guys!) and it intimidated him terribly. He reminded himself that most of these people were here for other sports, and that he belonged here just as much as they did. So what if they were huge- he was pretty huge, too! Actually, he probably fit in here more than he did back home, in terms of his size...

The thing was, the Village was so huge, and his English was so rusty... he was utterly lost. He was trying to find the diner, where his teammates were all supposed to meet for breakfast together, but he had no idea where he was, or which way to go.]
