Sabra La Tau

Who: Judges only
Where: :)
When: Time is frightfully relative, isn't it?
What:

[He's really rarely flashy when he appears in others' domains. Not really worth the pomp and circumstance when a general breeze was enough to let someone know he approached.]

Mind a word? Or perhaps several, in exchange! Sort of a conversational barter.

((OOC: EXPERIMENTAL POST. This is only for Judges! You don't have to be talking to Messenger, or any of it set at the same time. Just give your [Name] in the subject line and what environment you've chosen to surround yourself in. TAG AROUND TO EACH OTHER. Feel free to use #sabra_la_iudex to work out headcanon and relationships or just dive in blind.

LETS SEE HOW THIS GOES.))

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?

[Prep | Mingle (4:30PST - 5:30PST) | MAZE (5:30PST - 8:30PST) | Endgame | Memories]

Who: You!
Where: Arena!
When: Day 202, Morning
What: Game 122!

[Today, the arena has a maze that may be vaguely familiar to the very oldest of you, but overall kind of mysterious for the vast majority. It looms, looking terribly imposing and spooky. Fog pours out of the entrances. You can hear wolves ominously howling in the background!

On the throne is a winged girl statue, sounding rather cheerful.]

Hello, hello? Can we play? I want to play, a game, a game! Here, here! Step one is: There are seven stages, and you have to find them! Can you, can you? Well, all the world's a stage, but the world doesn't count!

Who: Hydra(cula), visitors
Where: Angerdome
When: Day 189, late morning
What: >(!!!!

[It is breakfast time in Hydra land! There is delicious lizard (and fish for Kanda's delicate palate) and potatoes, but how much everyone is enjoying their meal after last night is questionable . . . Scowl seems more intent on stabbing his meal than eating it, for one.]

Who: Trixie, Angel
Where: Caves
When: Day 189, super duper early morning
What: ANGRIEST NINJA

[... Also, lost ninja. Oops.] Gaaaaaaaawd—!

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 180
What:

[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 five pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Pink, White, Brown, and two distinct shades of Blue. They bear the sigil of the graceful Swan, the majestic Unicorn, a the nimble Hare, the canny Dog and deft Dolphin 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 salted hard breads and a few jam filled pastries dusted with confectioners sugar.]

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

((OOC Note: As usual, those who run Judges may feel free to have them interact in sand form with the winners.))

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 160, morning
What: DAY TWO~ aka storytiems with Librarian (and perhaps a few others)

[There's no official call this morning, but you may find yourself drawn to the arena nonetheless. Librarian's and Mirror's statues are both in attendance.]

I refuse to allow this experiment of yours to go any further. Do you know how much extra work this causes for me when you -- you change things?

Such a minor change, though. Such a small change.

Even so.

It would go faster if you helped me. Just a little, hmm? A few hours and a story or two.

...

Please?

If you promise that it will shorten the time they will remain in this -- state.

Of course.



(( OOC: THIS IS GONNA BE PRETTY CASUAL GUYS also I am not feeling all that great, so apologies in advance if things cut out early. ETA: Angel is helping run Fantasy! All three books will start on the hour. ))

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 117, evening
What: The going-away party of Gaius Octavian

[Today in the arena, a very particular Call was given out, heard by any outside, and those inside who might have been listening.. It is a strange octave, almost regal, with the deep sound of brass horns and cadence of drums. As one gets closer, they might hear something a bit like winds, but of a strange harmony that doesn't match any instrument a Blank may have remembered. Strings on a slightly different chord and pitch, the range dancing at a joyous counterpoint to the solemn, majestic trumpets.

Those who have heard, one in particular, and all those following the unique sound, will find the Arena unusually appointed. Banners of all teams colors stretch overhead, red taking the pinnacle spot.

Without the trappings of a game, what seems to be laid out is a long table, a multitude of chairs and covered plates sitting upon table cloth of Pyxis red and Cygnus pink. The music seems to come from all around, and the general area before the tables seems to be open, inviting for those inclined to dance. There is a less austere table, far to the back, which seems to have simple snacks, one single platter of fruit, and some juices and wines.

In the throne, presiding over it all is the statue of the King, expression thoughtful as it overlooks the festivities.]

Who: Lacerta, Monoceros, Pavo, Canis, Pyxis, Cepheus, Lepus
Where: The Arena
When: Day 109, morning
What: Game 74

[Familiar butterflies lead the way to the arena, which is coated with a fresh, lush layer of grass, as it tends to be when Beauty is in the house.

Before the throne are several small marble tables, meant to be used by sitting on the ground. There is one for each team, and on each table is a small stack of cards laid face down. For now, they are all blank.]

Good morning, everyone. Please take a seat, we will be playing a variation of one of Messenger's favorite games today. Talk among yourselves, and we will begin shortly.

((NOTE: Game has changed due to mod request, so this is a 100% harmless game.
