[ The war rooms remain locked as she speaks: ]


The results are so:

Ursa and Canis were under-protected by two point, you take minor damage
Lynx and Corvus were under protected by three points, you take low damage
Pyxis, Cygnus and Apus were . . . I . . . why are there three of you? What is this? What is going on here?


What is going on here?

Who: ???
Where: The Arena
When: Day ??????1 Afternoon
What:

[ Today the Temperance sits on the throne- in one hand her hammer, and in the other her shield. Just as she always looks.

And oh, look. It’s your old friend the War Rooms. ]

Welcome, Blanks. Certainly most among you are not so unfamiliar with this arrangement. No use making faces about it. Face it bravely, and such courage shall see you to victory and peace.

As always, we shall play a game of defenses. Who shall you protect? Who shall protect you? Whose offense is to be the most feared? Speak to your comrades and enemies now, for once the rules are set, each color shall face this battle alone.

((Hi there! Mingle will go an hour or so, as Lady still has some setup to do. If you would like to have your characters remember the Temperence, please feel free to. Her games are usually hard, but she is never herself cruel or unfair. She was very proud when you all managed to survive her last game.

Who: ???
Where: Your bedroom in the North Block of Sabra La Tau
When: Day ??????1 Morning
What:

[ You wake up in one of the terrible, cramped North Block rooms with a pounding headache. You remember it. You remember your te@%N~ati0n, you remember the Games and the G01010001101udges. You remember the stone. The whispers of rebellion. You remember . . . desperation. Next to you is a brass tube, where you can see yourself repeating one word over and over in a tiny garbled recording:


"willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-" ]



((ETA: to clarify, you do not remember anything explicitly that happened "after" Sabra, and the events of the last weeks are vague at best.))

[Endgame. The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

It's ongoing mission, is to get a hell of a lot of people home. Deal with disturbingly well mannered velociraptors as roommates. Help get old ant workers used to two feet again. And occasionally jettison Horn off into space at random intervals.

To boldly seek out new universes and parallel dimensions. To party hard as it has never been done before.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Messenger's Year 1, Day 1
What: Closing Time.

[Ptou reforms, sand solidifying into marble, the robes, tattered, become the tapestries of royalty and a thin, circular crown sits on his head.

He stares down at the ground a long moment, silent.]

Is that... it?

Is this what it's like?

FINAL DEPARTURE

If any links are misdirected or missing, PM Claude! ))

Who: All Ophi, traitor and loyal, all Blanks. Good ended DO NOT hear the call, but can come
Where: The Arena
When: :)
What: Ladies and Gentleman, we understand that you have come to bear witness to the sound of drums and bass.

[As you enter the arena today, it is like you have stepped into a gala floor. Round tables with black and white checkers are arranged in a semi circle around the southern corners of the room, leaving the vast majority of the marble floor open for dancing. Austere marble pillars break the expanse of the floor in neat rows, affording a couple a moment of privacy as needed. Against the east wall, a bar is set with several classy appetizers, and a single platter of ten shrimp next to a crystal punch bowl.

At the very end of the expansive room, a black marble stage has a band set up, and ready to play. Behind that, stretching up and up, is a regal black throne. No one sits on it yet.

The double doors close after the last of you with a certain finality.]

Welcome, my dear blanks. And welcome to your guests as well! Quite unexpected to see so many familiar faces again. It does bring back memories, doesn't it?

I do hope you'll find the festivities to your liking. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I've put quite a bit of effort into ensuring that everything goes perfectly. As long as everyone, and that does include the delightful guests you've brought along, stays on their best behavior, I think we'll get along quite nicely.

((OOC: WE BEGIN! First event begins in an hour 8PM EST.)

[ Mingle || HORN!!!! || Rules :) || PART TWO])

Who: Anyone
Where: The lake
When: Day 295, afternoon
What: Just diving. Nothing to see here.


[There is a half naked Ophiuchus standing by the lake with an Apus. Maybe they're getting ready for a swim]

Ready?

((Feel free to mingle))

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 294, noon
What: day in the life

[Today is a grand day to get things done. And to mingle. You should definitely be mingling in this post.]

Who: Albert and Emiri (separately, not together)
Where: All over
When: Day 293, all afternoon and evening
What: Hey there stranger.

[THIS AFTERNOON, WHERE EVER YOU ARE, THERE IS AN EMIRI. OR MAYBE THERE IS AN ALBERT. Maybe you're in your dorm. Maybe you're doing the laundry or looking for food. Maybe you're looking for one of them.]

[YOU DECIDE.]

((eta: i'm out for the night but i'll pick up later so feel free to tag in any time o/))

Who: Edge, Bunnycorns
Where: Lepus
When: Day 288, evening
What:

[Lepus' kitchen doesn't get used much, so it's easy to miss things going on in there. Like various people's efforts to get it cleaner, or to stack things better, or the Ophiuchus having tea in the corner. I mean it's not like they make a noticable difference, right?]

Who: Bunnycorn
Where: Bunnytower
When: Day 283, post-game
What: Memories and things!

[Heading home tired and exhausted, but with memories this time.]

A full victory for Lepus, hooray!

Who: Edge, Jace
Where: Canis
When: Day 277, afternoon (slight backdate)
What: discussing IDIOTS

[Canis, someone is knocking at your door. Bet you're getting tired of that shit by now.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 276, morning
What: Oh no Ophi everywhere!

[After the small explosion, the escaped plant monsters and the Queen mongling from the previous day, Ophiuchus is up bright and early knocking on peoples doors. WE'RE ON A WITCH HUNT.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 275, morning
What: A game

[The bleating of goats call you to the arena once again. The statue of a young boy sits on the throne, his chin resting on his hands. There is a simple, wooden raised platform right below the throne that serves as a stage. Decorating the ground in front of the stage are enough cushions and pillows for everyone to sit on. Circling the stage area are simple panels in team colors. On them are three buttons. The Kid sounds tired... bored...]

Let’s be honest today.


[Mingle | Game Start (team posts go here) | Stage | End Game | Memories (Hydra, Pyxis (Cygnus), Cepheus, Lacerta, Orion, Lepus, Apus, Lynx)]

Who: Claude, Kazu, anyone
Where: Riverside, south end
When: Day 271, afternoonish
What: dehiatus two returrrns

[ two blonde dudes in white and purple are hanging out at the edge of the river! ...the younger kid keeps dunking his face into it for some reason while the bigger guy watches ]

Is it gone now?

...aah, well, it doesn't look like water's working too well... and it's kinda smeared all the more now...

Who: Everyone!
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 259, all morning
What: Fallouts + damage assessments

[it's a new day in Sabra! People are emerging from their dorms (or not-their dorms) and checking on each other and what happened last night]

((put your location in the title if you want it to be in a specific location!))

Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

Who: Charles and Emiri, Erik, Anyone else
Where: Near the Ophi Barracks
When: Day 254, Early evening
What:

It's around here, right? We have to make it quick.

Who: Hydra + Lepus = ?!
Where: Lepus
When: Day 249, evening
What: trading for fun and profit. mostly profit.

[This fine evening, two Hydra have made their way up to Lepus tower, cooking ingredients in tow. That's not something you see every day.

Or ever.]

Okay, here goes nothing.

[and knocking on the door.]

Who: Xavier + YOU
Where: Lepus
When: Day 249,
What:

[stepping into the Lepus commonroom with a bright but dazed smile]

Hello! Could I trouble you all for a minute?
