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: Everyone
Where: The Arena again
When: STOP. ZOMBIE TIME (part two, earthtime edition)
What:

[The battle continues, friend against friend, lover against lover and team against team. Staring down at it all, the King's face seems unusually haggard, hairline fractures forming every time another bracer shatters for those who watch closely.

It's every now and then, with no regular pattern or strength, you hear something rumble, followed by the ground under your feet shuddering.

But this really isn't the time to worry about that, is it? You hear a snap of fingers, and those who have been blessed by the King feel the quiet thrum of power, electricity at their fingertips.]

I think we've had enough games don't you? Ophiuchus, subdue the remainder.

Who: Hydracula
Where: Hydracula
When: idk
What: the final hydraculing??? ;o;

[Something smells fantastic! Is that pork Lucky is cooking?]

Who: HYDRACULA
Where: HYDRACULA
When: Day 295, Morning IN THE YEAR OF HYDRACULA
What: HYDRACULA

[It's morning in Hydracula's dorms, and Scowl, having grown tired of being pinned to the bed by a sleepy, clingy sharkling, has decided to take drastic action.

By slamming a pillow into his face.]

Who: Hydracula
Where: Hydracula part II
When: Day 291, afternoonish
What: Hydracula III: The Hydraculing

[Have you rested after mirrorventure, Hydracula? Got a couple hour nap myself. Now it's hella BOILED CABBAGE AND FISH JERKY time. Who's the luckiest team in the world?]

Who? I wonder if it's you?
Where? Could it be the Arena?
When? Day 290, Evening? (Well before the Mirror Heart antics)
What? ♥♥♥

Is it a good evening for everyone? Have you all rested well? I wonder, are you prepared? Are you able to face what lies within your friends and teammates?

[The couches today are piled with Hizumi, Elliot, Claude, Chrono, Taisuke, and Yoi-te]

What: ...

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 289, noon
What: Good Ends

[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 three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: gold, orange, and lavender. One bears the sigil of the hunter, club upraised and a string of jewels shining in his belt. The second has several foxes embroidered cunningly into the cloth, their silhouettes nearly invisible against the background. Finally, a great peacock adorns the third, its many tailfeathers rising nearly the entire length of the path. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table holing a punch bowl and several large party platters.

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

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 287, early morning (We knew you well, day 286)
What: Status effect game

[The bleating of goats once again bring you to the arena. A statue of a sleepy child greets you on the throne]

Come play once more, blanks.

[The area around the throne is a child's playground today, with a swing set, slides, a ball pit, and a container filled with water balloons. Tables lined with colored cloth (including Ophiuchus) are arranged at the foot of the throne. On each table, lies a single nerf gun with foam darts and a bowl of small round stones just enough for each member of the team. (All of them also in their respective team colors. The Ophi table has more nerf guns on it)]

Take a stone. Bring them to your team if you wish.

((Note 1: Guideline for deaging (Stolen from Mirror)
P.S: It is also possible to be physically deaged without being mentally deaged, if that is a thing you want to play with.
Note 2: Everyone's uniforms will fit their deaged/sexswapped/etc self.
Ping Parrot on IRC if you have questions))

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: Everywhere 8U
When: Day 280, afternoon
What: SANTA (No, not you, Santa)

[After mind fixing shenanigans in Lacerta are done, Parrot has an idea. Screw resting. He's gone back to Ophi and now there's a Parrot, dressed in a Santa outfit, lugging a sack of goodies around Sabra. He may be knocking on doors too.]

Ho, ho, ho! Come get your candy!

[Okay, maybe he mixed up the seasons a bit]

((OOC: Sleep and work times. I'll pick up over the week))

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.

Who: Hydracula, visitors.
Where: Inside Mt. Skullcrusher
When: Day 274, early evening?
What: SRS BSNS.

[a WILD NINJA(+ one magician-thief) has appeared! She's… … gosh, she sure is still soggy from river water, and there are signs that she very recently… well. Freaked out. A bit. Or a lot.

Mostly managing to act okay-ish, though.]

Scowl! Fang—Sparta, whichever, we need to talk.

Who: Hydracula, Allen, Tsuna, other visitors
Where: Skullcrusher Mountain
When: Day 269, Late evening before curfew (backdate)
What:

[SO. THERE IS A HUMAN LEG SITTING IN THE SHARED DOWNSTAIRS BEDROOM. What are we going to tell the guests you guys.]

We need to do something with this . . .

Who: Hydracula and friends
Where: Skullcrusher Mountain
When: Day 268, Afternoon
What: THAT SUCKED :(

[After the game, Hydracula has come stumbling (or carried) home, possibly now regretting their decision to get rid of all the alcohol.

Now that he's been deposited into one of the sick beds, Scowl is trying very hard to ignore the missing portion of his leg.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 268, early morning
What: Haunted Game

[Childish giggling--is it male? Female? It’s impossible to tell--surrounds every blank as they heed today’s call. It’s barely audible, able to easily be ignored. But it is ever present. In the arena on the throne sits Haunted’s statue, headless as ever. Even without facial features she gives off the sense of being very pleased with herself.

Heavy mist covers the floor, giving off a strong sickly sweet scent. The smaller among the blanks may already feel themselves starting to grow woozy from its influences.]

[WHY ARE THEY ALL KIDS WHAT IS THIS NO]

Who: Anyone at all
Where:  The Arena
When: Day 264, late morning
What:  A game!

[The Twins are out today in the Arena's center, lovely stone faces bright with amusement, the round table just before the statue draped with an odd cloth of shimmering grey. On it stand clean, empty glasses and pitchers of juice- cranberry, pomegranate, blueberry, and several that are unidentifiable. Clean bowls are here as well, and a massive platter with a serving spoon and what seems to be cucumbers and tomatoes marinated in some sort of tangy dressing. Beside it, on a separate platter, stand segments of coconut sliced into pieces as regular as that of a pie, and whole, fresh figs. Spiraling out from the central table like spokes on a wheel are smaller tables, also circular, draped in each partnerteam set's colors. These are set with ornate, high-backed chairs, each sporting a cushion upon its seat.]

A pleasant morning to you, little blanks. I have another game for you, and my sister has been gracious enough to help me arrange it. Do make yourselves comfortable, hm~? We'll be getting started any minute now.

Who: Hydracula and visitors
Where: SKULLCRUSHER MOUNTAIN
When: Day 262, late morning
What: Noxious things!

[Filling the skulldorm today, is possibly the most horrible, curdlingly foul smell for a long, long time.

A sharkling sits, with nose pinched, fanning the smell of a brewing concoction out the "nose" of the skull. Beside him, are a set of leaves, carefully stripped and set aside for the next batch. The process so far has been incredibly painstaking and has taken most of the morning, since Jinx's breakfast request.]

You're lucky I like you, you know.

Who: Our merry adventurers
Where: In the abandoned city
When: Day 260, late morning
What:

[As you leave Delphinus, you feel the faint, rare tug of wind around you. It whirls gently and quietly from the doorway of the dorms and urges with a faint tug of cloths to the northeast. The world outside of the groups, as they split, is unusually quiet and muted, as if everything is occurring from a vast distance.

When in the city, the tugging becomes far more persistent leading through a dizzying set of turns and twists in the road until you've passed two large, defaced statues... the trail continues further ...

To a dead end.

A large cave in seems to have smashed the entrance to what was an enormous temple. The wind continues to swirl around you...

As the last gathers, it happens between one glance and the next... the stone is gone, and a temple door is slightly ajar.]
