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: Wolf, Ophi, others
Where: Arena area

What: someone's coming home

When: Fall, King's Year 198
What: Trade fair!

*Each spring and each fall, on the week of the equinox, the clans of Canis gather to a certain oasis at the edge of the Lacertan mountains, there to exchange tidings, trade and mingle among themselves. They bring with them the finest of glassware, rare spices, liquors distilled from (mostly) cactus, gemstones, certain drugs, and stories from across the world. By tradition, even the worst of enemies greet each other politely while on the trading grounds, and foreigners are made welcome -- especially if they bring goods or stories to trade.*

[Soldier’s statue is on the throne in its usual naked glory. At the base of his throne is a large screen, on that screen a small world, and in that small world, two demons. Right now, they’re looming over a village.]

HAHAHA, CHECK THIS SHIT OUT! THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I EVER HAD WHILE (SOMEWHAT) SOBER. SEE, WHAT I DID WAS, I TURNED DOWN RAZORFANG AND THE LITTLE LEPUS DEMON’S BRACERS, SO THEY CAN HAVE A DEMON EXPLOSION BATTLE!

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus dorms
When: Day 147
What:

[Ophiuchus may gather at the odd sight of a certain clockwork man carrying a protesting teammate, princess style, instead of just lumbering over to refill Ophi's stock of minor remedies.

In fact, he doesn't seem to answer ANY questions or acknowledge any of the midbosses as he wanders through the dorm. HE IS ON A MISSION. ONE THAT WILL NOT BE DETERRED. ONE THAT WILL NOT END UNTIL...

... He drops Katou bodily in the onsen.

The mask's expression turns to one of satisfaction at a task well done. Plants need water after all.]

[There's a zombie practicing (wildly swinging, more like) a very metal and very sharp katana around. There's a few things to note. One, he looks like he's just been through a couple of fights. Two, his right hand seems pretty firmly attached to him. Three, there's a length of chain linking the hilt of the sword to a handcuff on his right wrist. Bother him? y/n?]

Who: Geddoe
Where: Ophiuchus barracks
When: Day 135, morning
What: The newest transfer

*this morning, it looks like someone's woken up to unfamiliar surroundings. That is, on the couch in one of the common areas of the Ophiuchus dorms. At the moment, he's looking over a note with a slightly confused expression. Do you:

1. Congratulate him on his promotion?

( Memories )

[A light continental breakfast covers the kitchen table this morning; delicate pastries, fluffy cooked eggs, thick lizard-meat sausages, and a selection of jams and sweet beebat honey to coat the slices of warm, buttered toast. The crowning feature is, as always, the collection of berries at the centre, each somehow known to belong to one individual and one alone.

River's place at the table is marked with a tall, chilled glass of something milky white, and a small, black velvet ring box. A second box, this one of far more ordinary construction and dyed a light, bright purple, rests under his chair.

On the job board, a posting for MONOCEROS has been added beside the still-unclaimed post for LEPUS. The toy box beside it sits empty, and the inside appears oddly worn: old and fragile, like it's ready to collapse at the lightest touch.]

Who: Slick
Where: Home sweet Ophi dorms
When: Day 133, morning.
What: Dehiatus

*You know what Ticky missed while on hiatus?

COFFEE.

It is surely time for some joe.

Also scrambling some eggs like a real pro.

There is a small pile of green clothing on the table nearby, and minus the addition of some black nail polish, he doesn't look much worse for wear*

Who: Nora and Kieran
Where: Ophi dorms, one of their bedrooms
When: Day 131, backdated

*Nora is laying on the bed with his head in Kieran's lap, still too sore to really move*

Where: TERAPEDE COUNTRY
When: Day 130, afternoon
What: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

[Should you follow the sound of demonic laughter wafting into the civilized areas of Sabra La Tau, you will find a bracerless creature in rags that are not the color of brown they are supposed to be, sitting atop the corpse of a particularly large fatty lizard. In between bursts of being very loud, he is munching on a raw foreleg.]

[By the way, there are sure an awful lot of holes out here...]
