Sabra La Tau

Who? I wonder if it's you?
Where? Could it be the Arena?
When? Day 290, Evening? (Well before the Mirror Heart antics)
What? ♥♥♥

Is it a good evening for everyone? Have you all rested well? I wonder, are you prepared? Are you able to face what lies within your friends and teammates?

[The couches today are piled with Hizumi, Elliot, Claude, Chrono, Taisuke, and Yoi-te]

[ Sign ups || Oh no unconcious people || Mingle || Hearts || Endgame || Memories ]

Who: Crown, Bunnycorns
Where: around Lepus tower
When: Day 289, evening after Orion's party (Backdated)
What:

[Someone got a not-so-pleasant memory involving June, and is now knocking at Lepus tower and yelling outside, waiting for someone to open up.]

Hey! It's Crown, open the fucking door already, I gotta see June! Come on.

[and he sure is sounding pretty anxious and impatient there]

Who: Some Dolphins, some Dogs, maybe some other dudes too
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 289, Early evening
What: A friendly visit

This should be enough to trade for dinner for both of us. I'm sure you'd be welcome to join in.

*knocking*

Who: Orion and anyone at all
Where: Outside Orion's dorm
When: Day 289, getting on toward evening
What:  A party thing honoring the Dude pleasant "fuck you" to King with this timing mission. This is serious business you guys.

[The step pyramid that is Orion's dorm is looking festive today; strands of those metallic-tasting berries and cinnamon-bark have been carefully threaded and slope downward from the roof garden. The cookpot has been filled with water and dragged outside; all six of Orion's cups are outside, as well. Nearby, two freshly killed pederpes have been butchered and sliced into manageable pieces, and beside the meat, there are thin slivers of mushwood to use as skewers.]

[Perhaps the most noticeable change, however, is the hole in the rock in front of the dorm- and the wood that has been piled up inside it to make a massive bonfire. Sketched on each side of the fire, in charcoal, is the rough outline of a turtle.]

[A kid in yellow is just finishing up drawing the last one.]

There. This had better be good enough to count.

Who: EVERYONE
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 289, post-good ends
What: ...

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 289, noon
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then 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 three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: gold, orange, and lavender. One bears the sigil of the hunter, club upraised and a string of jewels shining in his belt. The second has several foxes embroidered cunningly into the cloth, their silhouettes nearly invisible against the background. Finally, a great peacock adorns the third, its many tailfeathers rising nearly the entire length of the path. 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...]

[Arson is walking around Sabra, looking for some people...]

Who: Dumb morons
Where: The Arena

[someone is sitting in the kitchen, med kit open and sprawled all over the table, attempting to patch himself up.

It's going about as good as you'd expect]

—fuck, why won't you bow to my whims, gauze!

(WE PICKIN' AT THIS ALL WEEKEND, BITCHES)

Who: Dolphins and friends
Where: Geardormland
When: Day 288, postgame
What:

*game? what game? no one here died at all. those burned up uniforms? just a figment of your imagination*

Not sure there's enough left of this shirt to fix.

Who: Maya, Mitsuru, ?
Where: Orion's dorm
When: Day 289, morning
What: Possibly a very bad idea

[This morning, all of the plates are missing from Orion's kitchen. They're in Mitsuru's room, where thin wood has been dipped in lizard fat and set alight on top of them; when it burns down, it will burn into the cluster of wood beneath. The bed has been dragged to block the door, and he sits on the floor with a girl in Apus pink, staff across his knees, an unraveling scrap of yellow fabric in one hand.]

What's next?

Who: Lizardkings
Where: Lizardking
When: Day 288, late evening
What: back from terrorgames and dying /o/

[ two noodles and a newly dualhanded bro walk into a dorm! As soon as the door's closed, the bro turns to one noodle and says: ]

I won't go.

Who: The Gentleman, anyone
Where: Sitting on top of Apus
When: Day 288, evening
What: Chilling, RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN

[A dapper, elderly man sits on the edge of the Apus dorms roof. He doesn't seem overly remarkable past his presence... a well tended hat and immaculate suit, polished dress shoes... but there's something about him that ... makes him hard to look directly AT.

He has a rather fancy, bottled beer sitting next to him, and is idly pulling on a fishing pole now and then. The line is... down into the hole that swallowed Cygnus.

He's humming a rather cheerful ditty, as if it was a fine day for fishing.]

Who: Lyvus and visitors
Where: Lyvus dorms
When: Day 288, post-game
What: sadness and hugpiles?

[Sad teammates are coming back after the game. Woe.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 288, evening
What: Game time~

[Today the call takes the form of a song. It's hard to make out the words but the tune resembles a child's nursery rhyme. The sound of that soft voice is almost familiar, one the very edge of your memory....

As the arena fills with blanks, the song gives way to Haunted's delighted laughter.]

Are you afraid, blanks?

[Sign ups | Mingle | Game Start | End Game | Memories]

Who: Maya, ???
Where: not too far out from the cove
When: Day 288, evening
What: Fun and games before the game :)

*Anyone walking home at this particular moment in time may notice an odd mist... Else they may notice a girl in pink lying on the ground. Closer examination will show said girl sprawled over this symbol. That said, closer examination would also bring one into the rising mist, and just being around it makes one's eyelids grow heavy and consciousness slip away...*


((LET"S TRY A THING. ping Maya if you have questions it's 3am, Maya is going to sleep but YOU can hang out in her "nightmare" and ~mingle~ or whatever and I'll pick up later BACK let's...see what happens /o/))

Who: Edge, Bunnycorns
Where: Lepus
When: Day 288, evening
What:

[Lepus' kitchen doesn't get used much, so it's easy to miss things going on in there. Like various people's efforts to get it cleaner, or to stack things better, or the Ophiuchus having tea in the corner. I mean it's not like they make a noticable difference, right?]

Who: Canis, anyone who might stop by??
Where: Canis
When: Day 288, post game
What:

[There is a tiniest and saddest goat at your door. It's tapping on it with a hoof]

Where: Just outside Bunnycorn
When: Day 288, after that gaaaame.
What: RETURNING HOME!!

[there is a tiny girl dressed in a Monoceros uniform approaching the Bunnycorn area with little skips. it is worth noting that her left eye is covered by an eye-patch, her hair is full of ribbons, her nails are done, and she smells really really nice!]

Hello! Is anyone home? It's me, Sakura! I'm baaaa—u-uwaaah!!


[also, she just totally faceplanted in a very undignified way]

Who: Claude, various
Where: Varioussss
