Sabra La Tau

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 140
What:

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing even to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is not any landscape you have seen before...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation of up or 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: Green, Black with white trim, and Yellow. They bear the sigil of a hydra, a skeletal snake and a club 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 cold cuts, olives and the occasional odd vegetable.]

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

((OOC note: We're trying something different this time! You can walk towards any other landscape to get to that table! Ophi and Hydra's tables require no walking between, really.

Judges, feel free to show up as you will, same rules as usual!))

Who: Hydras
Where: Arena/The Most Disney Heart
When: Day 137, morning
What: What kind of lame power is heart? Memory Repair

[Hydras have been alerted to the fact that there is a Wish reclined on one of those nice black couches in the Arena.

There is a large suitcase at the foot of the couch with a note taped to it. "Open in empty room only for easy memory repair."

The door is ready when Hydra's ready]

Who: Ophiuchus FOR NOW
Where: The Ophi dorms kitchen
When: Day 136, morning
What: RECRUITING

[There is a tiny green thing standing on the table between you and breakfast.

Possibly in breakfast, and sizzling a little.

[In the middle of the table are several boxes of piping hot pizza of various toppings and some poofy powdery cheese confections. The memories sit on each little packet of Parmesan that seems to always be delivered with the pizzas whether you want it or not. There are also several decks of cards on the table, one of them contains only twos.

The job board has LEPUS back on it! The toybox has been refilled!]

((OOC note: Ticky and Ichiru don't show due to hiatus notices. Period starting for Ophi activity is May 8th to June 5th!

Again.]

[At the table this time are three boxes of delicious filling filled donuts of TASTY. There is also fresh, chilled milk and a kettle of brewing, strong, rich-smelling coffee. The memory berries are placed carefully in each of the donut holes of one of the boxes.

The second box is full of GLAZES. And a few croissants.

There are only three jelly ones in the last box. Try not to kill each other.

There are NO new jobs on the board, just the two waiting for completion, but by Yamamoto's plate, there is a box with a Hydra green ribbon around it containing on SOULPUPPY and ... a secret decoder ring with a Pavo colored string tied on it and a tag saying (In Advance). By Kariya's, there's a blank pin.]


((OOC: Because there are no new jobs on the board, that doesn't mean you can't go out and DO solo missions! Remember Ophi activity for this month is from April 11th to May 9th! You don't have to do a solo mission or a minigame but those ARE fast and easy ways to do it. You just need ONE instance in that month of DOIN' YER JOB. If you need a situation like OFFSCREEN A JUDGE GAVE YOU AN ASSIGNMENT TO GET YOUR RANDOM TASING ON, TORTURE, OR WHOOPIE CUSHION WITH LAUGHING GAS IN IT? Tap us, WE CAN HELP. Basically, get your midboss on at least once, THAT'S WHAT YOU APPED THESE GUYS FOR.

[Tonight as you return, or in the cases of some of you, might even just be waking up at this hilariously late time of day, there is a wonderful smell of stir fry on the air. For those of you who are familiar, there are marinated cuts of fatty lizard, some podlike greens and an odd, pale bittersweet fruit in some win flavored sauce. It looks tasty.

Besides each plate is a folded fortune cookie with your memory and a piece of paper in it. However, beside Ticky, Marisa and Zim's plate there is a little something extra. A package for Ticky marked: "Love, Trickster!", a MYSTERIOUS DEVICE beside Zim's and a Hero's Crest by Marisa's for a job well done.

On the job board are two new jobs, for Pavo and Lepus. The Toybox has been refilled. You guys know what to do.]

[Today the memory berries are stacked in a small tower, one on top of each other in a somewhat physics defying way. Do you pull yours out? Or merely admire the masterpiece of patience and boredom?

Also, you may notice that there is a small easel next to the table, on the pegboard are two notes under a sign that says assignments:] Canis. Delphinus.

"The teams above are to be challenged in some way, be it mentally, physically, or merely for the sake of the amusement of all. Should they complete their challenge, you may find the reward they are to receive provided."

[To one side of the board, are sacks tied with light and dark blue ribbons, obviously the rewards, and to the other, is a box with Ophiuchus' symbol on it. Someone has scrawled "Toy Box" on the lid.]


((OOC notes: Any Ophi can take the note down from the board, making it their mission! If you try to open the reward bags, you will find yourself unable to! Only the team, after winning a challenge, can untie that badboy. The toybox has anything that you could possibly need to do the mission, strange gadgets, wifflebats, strange chemicals, building blocks, basically anything that you might want to run a small personalized game. If you want it? It's probably there. We're going to give direct assignments a try and work our way down the Solo Mission request list! So please, teams who want things, sign up! Ophi, this is an awesome way to meet your monthly activity requirements, feel free to pair up or work in groups for teams!

Since this is a new approach to an old concept, we're lurkin' on in #ophiuchus for your questions, minigame ideas generating, or just use it to coordinate with your fellow midboss and villains~))

Who: Anyone
Where: Just outside your dorms
When: Day 112, as you're getting back from the game
What: Mysteeeeeeerious boxes!

[The boxes read simply, 'From Persona'. Inside each box, you find what appear to be cheap Polaroid cameras, should you recognize the technology. One per (non-hiatused) teammate. They're very simplistic; a button, a slot, and a number indicating how many photos are left (they each start at 12). Underneath the cameras, there is also a binder in your team's color, with the word 'Memories' embossed on the cover. It's full of plastic sheets to slide the pictures into.]

((Log the photos your characters are taking here

ETA: You have until tomorrow's post (3:30 pm pst-ish) to log photos. You don't have to use all the photos, and you don't have to log photos that you're not putting into the binder and turning in to Persona tomorrow. Or you can just leave the whole thing at home, since Persona didn't actually tell you what to do with the cameras, being Persona.))
