Sabra La Tau

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 275, morning
What: A game

[The bleating of goats call you to the arena once again. The statue of a young boy sits on the throne, his chin resting on his hands. There is a simple, wooden raised platform right below the throne that serves as a stage. Decorating the ground in front of the stage are enough cushions and pillows for everyone to sit on. Circling the stage area are simple panels in team colors. On them are three buttons. The Kid sounds tired... bored...]

Let’s be honest today.

Who: Lyvus
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 273, post game
What: Memory time

[Huh the house sure is quiet I wonder where everyone is I guess I will make myself some tea and oh there's the door--]

Why are you all wet?

Who: Whoever
Where: The Arena
When: Day 273, after the game
What:

HAHAHA, WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN DO WITHOUT ME, YOU SAD LITTLE DWEEB?

[Soldier is laughing, the bar is fully stocked, and there are still a few stray corgi puppies running around.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 273, Afternoon
What: :)

[The arena has been dimly lit with torches that leave much of the area dark. Only a patch to the base of the Judge's statue has been lit, and from there eight more paths stretch out to doors that have been lit with colored torches according to each set of partner teams. Game Master's statue is seated on the throne, head turned beneath the hood to watch the incoming blanks.

—and then some dick started blowing a vuvuzela.]

Soldier!! You're going to ruin my game!

Who: Everyone
Where: The arena
When: Day 271, late afternoon
What: Minigame!

[IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.

Upon arriving in the arena you will see 8 kitchen stations set up in a wide semi-circle. Taisuke meanwhile is cleaning up the last of the loose Sabra balls from earlier in the morning]

Where did all these hammers come from- OW! Damn it I stood too close to the air horn again.

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 270, noon
What: Messenger Game

[The Call to the Arena is a jaunty tune, cheerfully trilling down the scales of a pan flute.

When you arrive, the Messenger sits on the throne, looking markedly better than the last time you'd seen him there. He sits, leaning forward, with elbows on his knees and expression mischievous. He holds a finger up to his lips, in a "shhh" gesture.

You find yourself unable to speak. ♥]

((OOC: Loser game, but any and all can attend! One hour mingle as usual, expect two quick rounds after. IRC or EMAIL ADDRESS in sign in needed for this game.))

Who: Lyvus & friends
Where: the Lyvress
When: Day 268, afternoon
What: dehiatus/cuddlepile/memory-taking/wildebeests

[After two days of being too sick to inquire as to Lyvus' happenings, Itachi has woken up feeling a lot better, only to--find the dorm deserted?

Clearly the only solution is sit on the roof with a cup of tea, keeping an eye out for returning teammates.]

Who: Dagger, Lyvus
Where: Not too far from the Lyvress
When: Day 267, morning
What: De-pillarings

[The torches can't have been lit for more than an hour at most when someone is finally approaching the Lyvress fortress. He has definitely been in better shape before, and the boy keeps throwing nervous glances behind his shoulder, as if to check if someone is actually there. It might also be pretty obvious that he is avoiding any cave walls like the plague. That the fortress is still around is definitely a good sign though, so he's hurrying to reach it as best as he can. When he does reach the door, it takes a hesitant minute until he dares to reach out his hand and knock on it though.]

...Hello...? Is anyone there...?

[Please may they not have been taken too :(]

Who: Lyvus
Where: Lyvus
When: Day 266, late morning
What: Memories

Is anybody else concerned that some of us won more than one memory this game?

Who: Everyone
Where: arena~
When: Day 266, morning
What: Wrapping up the mix-up game!

[Bright and early the next morning, the call to the arena goes out again. Mirror is ... less .. drunk this time. There are no rooms this time, but there is a central area with various Ophi booths and things, with smaller blankets laid out around it for the various teams.]

Ugh, is this why some mortals don't drink? My head is killing me!

Who: Lelouch's daycare . . .
Where: Lyvus
When: Day 265, night
What: Sleepover :x

[after a long day, presumably with one or the other of you running someone ragged at any given moment, but theoretically full of games if Euphy at least had her way . . .]

[thanks to gallant efforts (and by that I mostly mean Lelouch got the Assistant to do it), Lyvus has been turned into a big square of mattresses piled with all of their pillows and blankets, set up near the fireplace! it is pretty comfy business. there are also sweets thanks to a combined team ingredient effort—some warm sweet fruit-tasting drink and soft cookie approximations]

Everyone's expected to go to sleep when we turn the lights out in an hour or two, but before that, I did promise some stories. Does anyone have anything they want to hear?

[---> zz pile on Lyvus]

Who: Lyvus & visitors
Where: Outside Lyvress
When: Day 265, morning
What: Lelouch's teammates going missing is a severe interruption to his morning routine and he highly suspects they have been called to a game that he has missed and he is going to do laundry in the river and fret a lot and this way he can see if they come home and—

. . .

W-WHY ARE YOU ALL SMALL!?

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 265, bright and early (to leave room for folks who need to backdate things)
What: the BEST GAME EVER

[The pull is especially insistent today, if kind of ... wobbly? It's a weird feeling. Almost nauseating.

And for good reason, because once you get there you will see that everyone's ~favorite~ judge is seated on her throne. Except -- your reflections in her statue are extra wobbly today. And Mirror herself is laughing herself silly, her words slurred.]

Oh! Oh! This will be hilarious! The faces they'll make.

[There are also seventeen small buildings in the room, made of mirrored glass and set up much like your good ol' War Room games. What could be in there??]


[ MINGLE | ROOMS | AFTER-MINGLE | THREAD SUBMISSION (until 8 PM EST on Thursday) ]

Who: Anyone at all
Where:  The Arena
When: Day 264, late morning
What:  A game!

[The Twins are out today in the Arena's center, lovely stone faces bright with amusement, the round table just before the statue draped with an odd cloth of shimmering grey. On it stand clean, empty glasses and pitchers of juice- cranberry, pomegranate, blueberry, and several that are unidentifiable. Clean bowls are here as well, and a massive platter with a serving spoon and what seems to be cucumbers and tomatoes marinated in some sort of tangy dressing. Beside it, on a separate platter, stand segments of coconut sliced into pieces as regular as that of a pie, and whole, fresh figs. Spiraling out from the central table like spokes on a wheel are smaller tables, also circular, draped in each partnerteam set's colors. These are set with ornate, high-backed chairs, each sporting a cushion upon its seat.]

A pleasant morning to you, little blanks. I have another game for you, and my sister has been gracious enough to help me arrange it. Do make yourselves comfortable, hm~? We'll be getting started any minute now.

When: Day 263, early morning

((put your location in the title if you want it to be in a specific location!))

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 258
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra—a regal crescendo of notes followed by anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is that strange darkened landscape again...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation between up and down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and two pathways each covered with a lush carpet: one pink, the other a dark blue. One bears the sigil of the graceful swan, wings outspread and flying toward the path's end, while a hunting dog bounds down the second, intent on its target. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table holing a punch bowl and several large party platters.

However, should you follow either of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

Who: Cygnus
Where: The Swan's Nest
When: Day 257, late afternoon
What: A message

[A knocking at the door, soft and persistent.]
