Sabra La Tau

Who: Aeon and others!
Where: By the river
When: Day 220, afternoon
What:

[There is a makeshift little booth that's been set up by the river. Aeon is sitting right beside it, with a basket of apples on one side and loaves of bread on the other.

There are also tons of boxes by his feet. And he's just sitting there, humming a tune.]


((OOC: Storyteller apples + twin boxes! Come by if you want one or the other or if your team doesn't have their boxes yet.

For a reminder of what the apples do: The Serpent and the Apple - Blank must eat the apple of temptation unknowingly. Will be ~TEMPTED~ to attempt little feats that have been nagging them, such as wanting to punch a shret in the face or stealing a quick kiss on someone's cheek. Temptation stops short of seriously injuring another. (worth one loaf of fresh bread, a generous wedge of cheese, and 6 eggs))

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Under the Arena
When: Day 216, just shortly before the formal end of the game
What: Pleasant self discoveries, Memories, general Ophi THINGS

[What is happening right now, is a young Uroboros returning to the dorms, hurriedly finding the one bathroom and retching. By most estimations, it was probably pretty lucky he got that far.

It's sometime AFTER that, that he stalks back out, composed and sullenly defiant at anyone in the area. Now is CLEARLY a time to bury in the meeting room and read files until the world fucks off properly.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 216, high noon
What: :D

[As the light in the caverns rises to its apex, normal Blank and Ophiuchus alike can hear the call of the arena. Anyone who arrives there will see Mirror's silvery statue gleaming in the torchlight, her statue's face curved in a pleasant smile.

Sixteen circular glass buildings are arranged in a semi-circle by her feet; anyone peeking inside can see basic furnishings but not much else. Ten more rectangular rooms are arranged on the opposite side; however, these cannot be seen into. And in the middle of both groups of buildings is a pleasant picnic set out on black tablecloths with gold, silver, and bronze place settings. There's also plenty of food laid out for any Ophi members who show, but none for the regular blanks.

Also worrying might be the large black box at the end of the Ophi picnic. That can't be good.]

So many bad feelings in the air. Perhaps you would enjoy a little game of revenge~?

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The barracks
When: Day 210, evening
What:

[Today, sometime after dinner time, should you be passing through the room with the great staircase, or honestly even close enough to hear the frantic, scrabbling footsteps, you probably are just in time to meet the latest Uroboros blank.

Not that he knows this, or even has any markings of being on Uroboros yet. He is, however, quite winded, and even more intent on getting way the hell away from whatever horrifying monster is down there.]

S-shit!

[He plasters himself to the far wall and THEN looks around.]

Who: Aeon
Where: ALL OVER
When: Day 208, afternoon

[Uraeus is making rounds, people. LOCK YOUR YOUNG BOYS INSIDE. No, mostly making certain visits to dorms to check up on missions and checking out the new Block.]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus
When: Day 206, Night
What: Request for help and a warning

[When the torches finally starts to dim and not long before curfew kicks in, any Ophi in the common room of the dorm might hear the sound of wings flapping as a faceless bat flies into the romm and comfortably settles itself, hanging upside down from the ceiling. Where it's face and head should have been there is in it's place a nondescript clump of uneven fur, and yet you still feel watched.]

Ophiuchus, I have work for you. Even if you do not choose to accept, there is something you should know.

[Any observant person would also have noticed that on the table there is now an open box containing little vials of a suspicious looking black liquid.]

((Info about the long term Haunted game happening the 24th to 29th. Also IC recruiting Ophi to do minigames on the 29th, mingle start at 7 PM EST. More info here.))

When: Day 205, post-game
What: :'DD

We heard! We figured. We thought very hard about this! We figured you would be tired from such a journey and everything's been so serious lately! So very, very, very, serious! So we made you a game! A fun game!

[ You were all super excited to have a game right after the big move, weren't you? I am sure you are even more excited to see not one! But two! Two wonderful judge statues in the Arena! Even more exciting is that these two statues are Horn and Lover. At least there's no elevators, right? ]

Miss Mary Mack, mack, mack all dressed in black, black, black! Had a steamboat and it had a bell, ding, ding, ding! When the steamboat went to heaven, she broke her little ass! She had a tiny turtle! And then paid the doctor!

[ and then a moment of BLISSFUL SILENCE followed by: ]

Hey, listen. I heard a rumor.



A rumor about a sex dungeon!

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 204, afternoon
What: Game antics!


[There's a loud call coming from the arena... more like ambulance sirens. It's really too loud to ignore.

If you manage to wade out towards the arena, you'll find several large platform to keep yourself dry and off the ground and a MYSTERIOUS BOX that's currently locked. There's also a couple of chairs off to the side, but trust me, you don't want to sit there.

Several Uraeus members are milling about.]

Who: Anyone!
Where: Various dorm areas
When: Day 200, morning to midday
What: Burning things :|a

[Out in the dorm areas, there is an extremely frustrated Ophi stalking about. She's smoking and steaming but not setting anything on fire. yet. She's carrying a basket of fruit and other small items on one arm as she stalks about. Better catch her before the treats get roasted.]

Go and do something more productive, he says. Stop setting my thing on fire, he says. I'll just have to burn something else.

(( OOC: It is totes possible to talk her into accepting something else instead of burning for food! So is getting interference for your character before burning happens. Just let me know that's what you'd like to do. :|d ))

Who: :'D
Where: Lacerta!
When: King's Year 198, sometime in the Fall
What: Home again home again jiggity jig.

[A few Ophiuchus are homeward bound and decide to stop to survey the land. As in their youth, the place remains calm and quiet and yet full of the energy most Lacertans are glad to call home.]

Uwaaah. It really doesn't change that much, does it?

Who: Traders, entertainers, clansmen and visitors willing to brave the wastes
Where: The Canis badlands, an oasis near the Pyxis border
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.*

[Once again, that strange patchwork of light and reality bathes the arena. Deep, impenetrable darkness wars with scattered rays of light, illuminating tiny slices of some seemingly unconnected scenery. Here a patch of lush, bluish tinged grass is warmed by the sun and blown by the breeze. There half of a delicate stone fountain is bathed in the first morning light... And over there you see a strange, fuzzy creature skittering and scrambling up a sheer rock face, ducking nervously in and out of shadows.

Scenes like this are scattered throughout the entire Arena without any sense of rhyme or reason... But as you walk further, you find yourself having to step on or around more and more thread. Fourteen shades of fine thread loop, scatter and tangle, condensing and congregating below the throne... leading to fourteen looms, each with a primitive, fuzzy picture coming into view, line by line- starting with the sky at the top.

When you look directly at the throne, it seems empty. It is only out of the corners of your eyes do you catch fleeting glimpses... sometimes fingers twined with thread... sometimes a face: matured with age, but warm and kindly.]

W... d...seek.... ?

Who: Lyvus + visitors
Where: Lynx
When: Day 198, mid-morning
What: Just stay inside and make preparations for Crazy Winter.

[also Lelouch has determinedly gotten out of bed after a full day and a bit and is cooking, at least until somebody notices and herds him back to bed :|]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: In the snake's chamber
When: Day 197, evening
What: It IS kind of unusual that the Guardian calls in the evening...

[It is just as the torch's magical lights begin to dim for the evening that every Ophiuchus hears a summons, floating across the surface of their thoughts, seeking their return.]

Gather and heed well: there sssssshall be new ordersssss.

Who: Whoever
Where: Wherever
When: Day 197, morningish
What: Mmmmmingle post (... hopefully sans eyeballs)
