    Quinlan Vos enters the stadium on horseback and takes a victory lap, even though the crowd remains silent because they don't like him very much. It leaves him perfectly indifferent though, because he's here for the showboating, and he performs the Rescue that is expected of him for his triathlon.

    By the time he's done, the scoreboard just reads "verbose", because it's only the first part of the Equestrian Cross-Country. Τhe prompt had no upper word limit and the story just ran away from its word count.

    We interrupt this broadcast to inform you that a monster appears to have invaded the stadium where the 2023 Fanfic Olympics are held. Our correspondent Kristyann Ah-manpoor has more.

    (cut to a live broadcast of the stadium, where spectators are slowly returning to their seats)

    "Indeed, Ander-Ssohn, a creature escaped from the ancient history of Kashyyyk dropped from the sky half an hour ago and began to terrorise the crowd. Fortunately, a group of fearless Wookiee decathletes were able to wrestle it down until a cage could be brought. I'm told it's on its way back to the Shadowlands as we speak. I invite our audience to keep an eye out for our special report in which we will expose all the shortcomings of Olympic security: Spawn of Malice: The Tale of the Dark Scourge."

    As the tennis match concludes, Qui-Gon waves to the cheering crowd and is showered with more roses.

    A Togruta volunteer brings Qui-Gon a bottle of ice water and a towel. As he pours the water over his head to cool off, the volunteer is so overcome with emotion that she drops to her knees and proposes marriage.

    He offers her a rose and says, "Perhaps in another life, our souls will meet."

    The volunteer blissfully holds the rose to her heart as the staff escort her off the field.

    Qui-Gon strolls to the other side of the stadium, where he will compete in the: Single Sentence Shot Put.

    "A Loophole"

    I managed an entry for the NSWFF Triathlon: Let the Night Come and Do What It May

    It's Stranger Things featuring my favorite stepsiblings Max Mayfield and Billy Hargrove, and of course it's inspired by a Springsteen song. :p

    Many thanks as always to @devilinthedetails for hosting this challenge, and to all the participants for all the amazing stories! =D=

    Just a general heads-up that I will be traveling this weekend to attend my niece's first birthday[face_party]

    That means I will be logging in via mobile and any updates to the in-thread index will most likely be waiting for my return.

    But please feel free to post links to any of your new Olympic stories, and I will update the index as soon as I can:D

    Enjoy the birthday!

    After a thrilling mixed doubles tennis match, Jan Ors takes her place at the swimming podium for the 200 Freestyle, a worried expression on her face as she faces her role as Mission Control.

    @devilinthedetails Have a great weekend! Happy birthday to your niece, and please make sure to smell her for me. If she's turning one, she must still have a bit of that wonderful baby scent about her [face_love]

    The audience in the indoor arena look at each other in bafflement when a dozen very large trees suddenly sprout and grow very quickly around the judo mat. They can see that there is some back-and-forth between the Wookiee decathletes and Olympics staff, who seek out the assistance of a translator droid to ensure that they are understanding this correctly. A sigh is finally heard over the loudspeaker, followed by an announcement: "Ladies and gentlemen, the trees can unfortunately not be cut down, as they are sacred to our Wookiee participants. We invite you to squint through the foliage in order to see our next event: Forest Song: The Tale of the Great Canopy."

    The audience looks on in puzzlement as a flurry of newcomers arrive in the arena . . . late.

    "A Sith Lord is never late." Darth Maul scowls at the crowd. "He always arrives precisely on time."

    "But are you really a Sith Lord, Zaed?" Mara Jade gently chides, for which Darth Maul flushes somewhere underneath his already red and black tattoos.

    "Besides," Obi-Wan Kenobi comments, "that saying applies to wizards, does it not?"

    "But we're wizards of the space variety, right?" Luke Skywalker offers, and no one has the logic to counter that - even if Maul pointedly moves to stand between Luke and Mara with a huff.

    "Come now," he growls, "it's time to jump the 110 Word Hurdle in . . . does this title really apply to me?"

    "I think it suits you," Mara says - even as Obi-Wan grins in delight to finish: "in the pentathlon Our Hearts Were Never Meant to Kneel."

    (Off to the side and in the shadows of the bickering Jedi and one not-Jedi/not-Sith, Luthen Rael and Kleya Marki clear the 400 Word Cross Country in The Man of Many Ways.)

    Judo is very fitting for Tarhin Engaron who is recuperating but adamant to attend a funeral in comfort
    and the Keana boys are bickering about where to go in the Tennis match and will end up on Serenno to visit the Dooku estate in investigators

    Due to the unexpected and unfortunate plot twist of my niece getting a nasty stomach bug from her daycare, her birthday party was re-scheduled for next weekend, so it'll be next weekend that I am traveling instead.

    Which meant I am around to update the index with both @Mira_Jade's lovely new additions to the challenge, and I am very much looking forward to reading them[face_love]

    Oh no, I hope the youngling is feeling better, @devilinthedetails!


    As the tennis match ends, Qui-Gon waves to the cheering crowd. Before the next event can begin, a staff member clears all the roses from the field with a backhoe.

    A human volunteer brings Qui-Gon a certified organic granola bar and coconut water, because he heard this was his favourite. The volunteer has so many things to say, but can only beam ecstatically in the Jedi's presence. And yet somehow, Qui-Gon understands, and nothing needs to be said.

    It is now time for Rugby 7's:

    "The Dark Side of Passion"

    Am I biting off more than I can chew with DRL being the way it is right now? Eh, probably. :p

    But that's not stopping me from attempting a truly Olympic feat in also starting my NSW decathlon: [Sense & Sensibility] The Best is Yet to Be. [face_mischief] [face_batting]

    Now, to catch up on some mighty fine reading - and yet more writing. ;)
