Sabra La Tau

Who: Anyone!
Where: Anywhere there's water
When: Day 204, noon o'clock
What: Reflective surfaces :|a

[Gosh, there sure is a lot of water in the caves now. Places that weren't wet now have wide (but still shallow) puddles, while many of the lower sections are completely flooded. With all that water about and the torches at their zenith ... there is a hell of a lot more reflective surfaces about. Huge swaths of reflective surfaces where there used to be none at all.

Best watch your step. Strange images swim through the murky water, and many of them resemble Blanks. And every now and then, a woman with black hair and no eyes drifts under your feet, watching everything.]


(( OOC: GENERAL MINGLE FOR WATER ANTICS!! and also Mirror is going to do a little touching :3 If you want civil vs. touchings!! (or vice versa), note it and I shall take heed. Otherwise, we'll see where things go. Put your location in the thread title so others can jump you too! ))

Who: Ponies
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 202, late afternoon or early evening
What: Poniesss EVERYWHERE

[Well, we were told to do some everyday task as a pony. Man, the dorms are much closer when you're four-legged (or winged, in some cases). Trot-trot-trot.]



((ooc: use for general pony antics, whynot))

Who: Bunnycorn + anyone
Where: Monoceros dorms
When: Day 200, late afternoon
What: tiny visitors!

[Late in the afternoon, Monocerans inside their dorm might hear the skitter-skitter of tiny glass feet. Many, many tiny glass feet. And anyone passing outside might notice a small horde of glass spiders perched on top of the Monoceros dorms. Some of them grab overhanging vines and dangle in the doorway; others are just chilling and watching. waiting. and stalking any Monoceros folks who go out.]

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: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 200, very early morning
What:

HaHA! Well, that’s enough of that, isn’t it?

[You awaken. You are lying on the Arena floor, in exactly the same health as when you answered the last Call. It seems like ... everyone is here, though some are slower to wake that others.

As you lift your head... you see possibly the most enormous spider you could ever imagine... were it intact and not well broken and torn to pieces, ichor covering a great deal of the Arena. As you watch, it is crumbling, becoming sand... and simply falling away as if it never were. Beside it, an empty loom cracks and falls apart piece by piece as well.

Enormous bloody pawprints lead away towards the Arena doors.

The King is on the throne.]

Up a little late aren’t you? I would run along now, if I were you.

[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: Charming, Himiko, anyone else
Where: Nearish the lake
When: Day 197, late afternoon
What: Laziest Patrolling

[It's Charming and Himiko's turn to patrol to make sure no one goes too near the lake, but instead of walking around they're sitting at the cave entrances near Hydracula and playing with a trio of dice. They might even be bored enough to play blanks for trinkets!]

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: Ophiuchus!1
Where: Ophiuchus!!!1
When: Day 194, nighhhtttttt? after the pillar run
What: [ GRIPE GRIPE GRIPE ]

. . . love is over.

Who: Anyone
Where: The many lake pathways to the Northern Caves
When: Day 194, afternoon post-game
What: CAN YOU GUARD THEM ALL?

((WOO!! OKAY. There is at least one small group with an actual plan, but feel absolutely free to use and abuse this post for all your individual efforts in attempting (Blanks) and cockblocking (Ophiuchus) to get to the North. Or just watching, cheering, or getting caught up in the action, because there is gonna be some fisticuffs up in here.))

Who: Wind, Charming
Where: Ophiuchus, Urobros dorm area
When: Day 188, evening (SUPER BACKDATE)
What: Memory taking

[while doom game is happening in the arena up top, Wind is drinking some water in the kitchen while she contemplates the berry in her hand]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Deep under the Arena
When: Day 193, early morning
What: Reassignments

[Last night, Ophiuchus felt more keenly than any other area the rumblings and ravages of the earthquake. However, before the rumble even became a roar, the stones mended themselves, drawers righted... and the snake hissed its agitation and displeasure.

It would say nothing of the events... Only that he would speak to the King in the morning. As the torches start gathering light, the Guardian begins the evening with a fainter rumble than the night previous, and those Ophiuchus waking up, will find those changes again. Uraeus has once again reclaimed the top, while Uroboros is just a little behind. Caduceus...]

... Caduceus... Keepersss of the wessst.

[It is a summons, rather than a statement.]

Who: Blanks
Where: The Arena
When: Day 188, Morning
What: Mini-Game!

[It's surprising how much louder you can be when you combine a bullhorn AND a buzzer :|a]

[at the arena, you'll find it is cheerfully decorated with pumpkins, some fake, some real, a bit of dry ice for a fog effect, and what may or may not be paper tombstones. Awesome.]

When: Day 184, noon-ish
What: Many many things and possibly ADVENTURE

Who: Ophiuchus~!
Where: Ophi dorms
When: Day 182, evening~!
What:

On a table in the common lounge, sat a small familiar hydra, all three heads busily nosing through a large book. A small stack of papers sat near it. "My, my," she started, only one head looking up from the book as the others continued to read, "How could such a team be so busy and so lazy at the same time? Honestly, it seems like you're having trouble enforcing basic rules! A certain someone is bit flustered at all the paperwork involved with this."

The hydra tapped her head and turned the page. "But! That is why I'm here to assist you! And, really, if you're going to correct someone, you may as well teach them a thing or two while doing so, right?"

[ooc: PENALTIES GO HUR. You may pick repeats or use none at all! bother me in irc for clarification if need be.]

Who: Taiki + Himiko
Where: Tunnels
