Sabra La Tau

[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 YA'LL PUNK ASS BITCHES
Where: THE ARENA
When: TIME FOR SHENANIGANS TO END
What:

[As Guardian meets his end and Mitsuru suffers his punishment for an ill-advised attack, a heavy silence fills the arena. The chess pieces, both sand and lava, collapse back into the floor and smooth out, melding back into it as though they'd never risen.

The next time you blink, King's statue has lifted its hand. Lightning, devastatingly powerful, arcs out across the entire arena, striking at anything and anyone it can reach. Where it strikes the floor and walls it leaves small craters. This is not going to be a light blow for anyone struck with it.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena again
When: ????
What:

[It may have been ages, it may have been moments, but the soothing white room fades away...

The arena returns... cracks and distortions line the floor where a mad waltz had gone on, stepping lightly over the bodies of the fallen. The roof is now a single, solid white, the throne a little more elaborate, with a great carved crown at the top, behind the King's head, and the box that had nearly closed is now gone, keystone and all.

All around, people are getting up... while many, many others still lay where they fell on the floor or ceiling, still engrossed in their personal battles.

Messenger still stands, looking a little more haggard.]

"I'll say just once more... Let them go! There's no POINT to this."

Who: ???
Where: ???
When: ???
What: ???

[You are in white space, floating gently on your back. It's comfortable and warm. The lassitude in the air seeps into your muscles, letting you truly relax. Pushed by something unseen, you rock gently in that empty space, as if floating on small, rolling waves.

Everything is calm and comfortable. What were you just doing? You can't quite fish up the memory but you have a vague, muted anxiety that it was important.

Something urges you quietly to just give it up, just forget.

As you drift... you see someone sitting next to you, calm, understanding...]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: The Arena
When: >(
What: YA'LL ARE DICKS

[Lightning arcs through the air, spreading out just over the heads of the gathered blanks with deafening thunder. Where it strikes the walls the marble chips and cracks, leaving small craters dotting the pristine surfaces. The face of King's statue is contorted in plain displeasure. Each time you blink, his gaze falls on a different person.]

That is quite enough. Let's have no more of these childish shenanigans. My patience has worn thin enough already, blanks.

Will you be handing over the keystones, yes or no?

[React || TRICKSTER || King Keystone Retrieval ]

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.

What:

[When everyone returns home from their meeting, they'll find a simple cardboard box waiting on the doorstep of their dorms. Inside, they'll find an appropriate number of very basic tuxedos and dresses for their team (and, quite considerately, anyone who prefers the other gender's style of dress will find they have clothing suited to them).

Also in the box are materials for embellishments. Extra cloth, sequins, feathers, embroidery thread, etc . . . All manner of materials to make your garment truly yours.

Delphinus, unfortunately, has only gotten rags (though the embellishment supplies are there. Perhaps you can embellish your uniforms instead?) It's like someone's mad at you or something.]

Who: Blaze and Orion
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 303, afternoon-ish?
What: Hobo knocking on your door

Orion! Can we talk?

Who: Orion and visitors
Where: Orion's dorm
When: Day 303...? Who even knows anymore, time is kind of wonky man
What: A team meeting

[For the Orions returning for the first time in awhile, the hole in the dorm might come as a surprise. Also the interior damage to the walls and floor. The furniture is also all gone, crappy floor-table included, and later on you get to discover that there are no sheets on the beds anymore. Home sweet home. :|b]

[An eleven-turned-sixteen-year-old in a uniform that's too big shuts the door and locks it after everyone's in. :|b]

Sit down. We have a lot to get through, and we don't have a lot of time.

Who: Orion and visitors
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 297, early evening
What: Repairs, photography, and possibly a hunt

Pretend to do something brave.

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: Meeting Hall
When: Day 297, late afternoon
What: mini game time!

[The sound like a bunch of buzzing bees attracts you to the... meeting hall? A genderswitched Parrot is here, happily blowing on a vuvuzela. There are two baskets full of polaroid cameras on either side of him]

[Mingle | Rules | Submission Thread (latest by Friday 4AM EST/Friday 6PM JST)]

((OOC: It is okay to not on-screen some photo taking or to backthread it later or... off-screen it entirely. We are easy.))

Who: Anyone
Where: Orion
When: Day 296, morning
What: Doom

[And then Orion exploded]

Who: Hydracula!1
Where: Inside Mt. Fedoraskull
When: Day 295, postgame
What: WELP

[Faceplants on the table, WOOZIEST NINJA]

That bitch needs to die.

Who: Orions
Where: Monsterhunter
When: Day 295, post-game
What: after game shenanigans

[Look Mits there was a game and you weren't invited, take that. Three Orions coming back, and Crown is mouth-less and still slightly burned, and still a little wonky on his feet but he's managing]

Who:Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 295, bright and early
What: It's time for games

[The game call is an echo of laughter, joyous yet unnerving. It fills your ears as you make your way to the Arena, drowning out nearly every other sound. Upon arrival, you discover that this time, the arena lacks the mist that so often clings to the ground during Haunted’s games, lacks the symbol scratched into stone and the bodies sleeping above it. Instead all there is to see is Haunted on her throne, a little Judge who is beyond pleased with herself.]

[Sign up | Mingle | Game Start | Revival | Endgame | Memories]

Who: Santa and whoever
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 293, afternoon
What: bidding farewell to dignity, and also kisses.

[After finally getting some sleep, Santa decided it's time to finally get done with a certain mission he was given days ago. And so, on this merry afternoon, he is wearing this fantastic outfit, ready to bid farewell to his dignity forever and visit dorms. You can see him walking around in this.]

Ugh... This pretty fucking embarrassing.

((feel free to use for your own mingle needs as well)

Who: Orion & Co. + anyone?
Where: Orion
When: Day 293, early morning!
What: Newness

[this guy has just waltzed out of his bedroom, and is now glancing about the place with an expression of interest and glee on his face]

Well, well, well! There's no way I'm the only one here.

Who: Anyone
Where: Your dreams . . . oops.
When: Day 292/293, overnight
What:


Ah, excuse me. Sorry, sorry, just passing through. Don't mind me!





. . . that's a good look for you by the way!
