Sabra La Tau

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 234
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: Red, Black and Dark Blue. One bears the sigil of a compass, pointing the way confidently, another a skeletal serpent reaching up into a cup and the the last, the canny dog embossed into the weave. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table, filled with punch, and several large party platters filled with a cheese and dip platter.]

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

Who: Anyone and everyone
Where: By the river
When: Day 233, morning
What: de-hiatus time

[a man in Ursa brown is trying to drag himself out of the river. He might look familiar to some, but something is a little different. Either way he could probably use a hand getting out of the water]

Who: ???, Canis, and visitors?
Where: Canis!
When: Day 231, late afternoon

[As you go about your title'd antics, you might notice that there is a young boy in Canis-blue darting around, examining the ruins, the dorms, and pretty much everything.]

Where? The Arena?
When: Day 230, afternoon?
What:

Is a person born or made? What impact does the way that others perceive us influence the selves deep down in our hearts? And what if you were to look through the eyes of another? What do you think you'll learn?

And... how shall I grade what you did? Hmm...

۞ Which team can stay the course with the titles they are given?
۞ And which can reclaim those that originally belonged to them?
۞ Which team will take any title they prize?
۞ And which will have the most taken?
۞ Who can make the most trades?
۞ And whose final titles will win the Judge's favor?

What:

"So many feelings, yet the formula is the same," the Judge wondered out loud. She had already guessed the ending, and not because she'd read it many times before.

The fallen begin to rise, but not as they were.

There was also a snowglobe.

Who: Blanks
Where: The Arena
When: Day 228, Morning
What:

The call today was an odd one of sorts. It didn't have the flare of the King or the class of the Lover. No, instead, it was a mix of noises, of grunts and growls, of gurgles and yowls. The blanks could hear the bleating of sheep, the crowing of cocks, and the neighs of steeds. If they listened just a bit harder, it would seem the the howl of a mongrel was mixed in there as well.

Upon entering the arena, why, it seemed as if they had stumbled into a farm! Pigs, chicken, cows, and sheep all pranced about merrily. Of course, it turned out they were all made of cardboard. That didn't stop them from enjoying their cardboard grass though.

On the throne, the Judge called the Storyteller stood over the strange gathering of animals, frowning at an open book.

"I've never been a fan of sequels, but let's see if this manages to be interesting."

((ETA CLARIFICATION: When are picking for B)The Actions Against Other Teams! Please specify WHICH teams you're 'attacking'. It doesn't have to be the same team you voted to go for ousting! Both can be used on the same team as well, or entirely different ones!))

[The Arena looks awfully pink and glittery today, despite King's majestic presence on the throne. It's probably just your imagination that his smile seems a little smugger than usual.]

I heard the lot of you like to go off to magical, imaginary dreamlands. Well, I'm nothing if not obliging. Sweet dreams, darlings.

[You're feeling very sleepy...]

When: Day 225, afternoonish
What:

[You may have noticed a tall man in a loose shirt and trousers wandering the area. Though he walks slowly, he strides with purpose, somehow giving off a calm, serious aura. Except for how he keeps craning his head around to stare at everything from rocks to wildlife to grasses like an excited small child.]

...Hmm.

Who: YOU
Where: ARENA
When: Day 225, morning
What: ~*Game*~

[TODAY on our throne is none other than our buddy Angel, flanked by her usual enormous maze. There are eight entrances to the maze, each blocked from view by fluttering coloured fabric.]

Hey, hey, is it really scary to lose things? That stuff you're holding onto, would you really be worse off if you didn't have it? And, and, that stuff you want to lose? Is that important too?

[To those who first return to the cavern in the northeast, it may appear that the great green dragon sleeps.

((THIS HERE BE A PLANNING AND MINGLE POST actual hunt tomorrah o7))

Who: Anyone
Where: The northeastern tunnels
When: Day 222, evening
What:

[It is sometime as the torches begin truly dimming and even the well lit areas by the cove become a struggle to see. The evening is peaceful as it can be, most of the creatures grazing or hunting anything smaller than itself...

When almost at once, as if obeying some unseen or unheard signal, creatures great and small take on a stance of panic and flee towards the south.

It is merely moments after that when the entire area lights up with a luminance greater than daylight, radiating from the northeast. It darkens slowly, fading to a mere glow in the distance, casting along the great cavern.]

Who: Blaze and anyone
Where: out and about~
When: Day 221, post game
What: Blaze watches your drunken antics

[this very sober Ophi is wandering around after the game]

Looks like I missed some fun.
