Sabra La Tau

Who: Anyone
Where: South Block
When: Day 303???? 304??? Who knows man!
What: Mingle :)

[Your... whatever it is right now, though it is probably buzzing with the excitement of seeing faces at home, and those considered lost stumbling back... is interrupted rather dramatically.

It sounds a bit like an earthquake, that thunderous rumble... but as it gets closer, you might notice that there's a rhythm too it. Louder and louder, faster and faster...

Almost out of no where, she appears, with ... Ash and a few pokemon on her back... and followed by three darting, speeding, flying hatchlings... They ignore all of the people on the ground, scrambling out of the way... they're not her goal... her goal is JUST enough space to get airborne... and at three times the length of the arena ... no other place would do...

Just at the far end of the cavern, Venna's wings snap open, their span almost too enormous to see in one look... and flaps. The gales are pressing, crushing, even the magical flames of the torches struggle desperately to stay lit, dust, dirt, rocks and boulders go flying as she takes off, angling up for the ceiling...

She breathes, her fire lighting the cavern with painful luminance... but those who recover quickly enough may catch, for an instant, a grey sky beyond, around the red edges of a portal.

She takes off, and flies away with her children, the magic closing the way behind her.]

((OOC: Mingle post!))

Who: Ash and Venna
Where: The dragon's lair
When: Day 303??
What: As queen is queening and Messenger is messenging...

[In the cave, there are now three dragons... most of them playing around a strange dream-tent set up, sniffing at it. They now tumble over each other, occasionally, listening to Pikachu's directions for lava safety. The eldest, a green dragon with a thin face like mother's, follows after Ash, mimicking his every movement.

Venna on the other hand, has turned her head towards the cavern ceiling, thoughtful...

Something about her is different... her once-shredded wings are folded, intact and healed on her back. Her eyes are clear and watchful, minding all four of her adventurous and occasionally brainless children.]

...

It will be true dark, he moves the furthest from her.

...

[She turns to Ash.] You will learn to fly.



[Apparently that senile problem hasn't been fixed.]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 289, post-good ends
What: ...

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Ash, any
Where: Up the northeastern path
When: Day 285, evening
What: :)

[It's a calm evening, the great, blind dragon lays curled around her clutch of eggs mingled in with an Ophiuchus and various pokemon. The bones of the meal - some of it roasted for that strange child that can't eat raw raptor as well - strewn around them.

In fact, it would be the most pleasant environment for Ash and Pikachu to join in on the nap with the mamadragon when...

Something behind him twitches.]

Who: ALLLLLLL ANYYYY BLANKS
Where: ARENA
When: Day 284, laaate, a few hours before evening will hit
What: oh no who let the pokemon get into the alcohol

[THE CALL TO THE ARENA is...full of shrieks of several different Pokemon hooting their own names and having a damn good time. Also the occasional BANG BANG on a pot, but mostly because Pokemon do not understand kitchenware isn't an instrument.]

[WHEN YOU GET THERE you will see a table full of tasty drinks. Very sweet! How they got them is a mystery, but they are tasty! And also hella spiked with Absinthe]

[pikachu is holding a badly written and badly drawn sign:

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 280, morning
What: :) :) :)!!

[As soon as your torches relight -- or slightly before, is that even possible? -- Mirror's call tugs you out of your beds and towards the arena. For those of you who feel it, it's unusually persistent and difficult to resist today. Like a glass hook caught around your legs, pulling you along without caring much about your feelings on the matter.

Mirror's statue perches on her throne, the usual silver of her statue subtly altered. Glassy, almost translucent in areas, but still deeply reflective. More disturbing still is the layout in the arena today: a parody of the Good End celebrations you've seen for your teammates, with tall glass boxes replacing team banners and tables (marked in team colors) filled with nothing but plates of glass shards and bottles of clear vodka.

Except for Bunnycorn's table. They get (alcoholic) punch and nachos.]

Are you all here yet? I hope so. This is going to be fun.

When: Day 278, afternoon
What: minigame :x

[BANG BANG BANG etc]

[there is Lightning Rod, looking kind of grumpy but really, it's hard to tell with the kid. when people are gathered, he just points to the scene]

[There are also FOUR CANONS!! loaded next to them are CANONBALLS!! only it's easy to see that they are fake and filled with water and/or confetti]

[there are also 4 TARGETS:
-A lifelike, but fake and oddly adorable terapede. its legs and mandibles are wiggling
-a cardboard cutout of Mirror (with glassy moe eyes!)
-a scale model of a RAPTOR!!1 wearing a pink bow for some reason
-a pinata that looks suspiciously like Izaya. he is waving happily!!]

[finally, there is a play pit of balls. plastic, colorful balls. just there.]

This game is too easy, I'm not gonna even explain it to you guys! I mean, come on.

Where: The Arena!!
When: Day 271, early morning (forward dated a bit)
What: BULLHORN -AND- BANGING KITCHEN UTENSILS

Anyone agitated enough to follow the. . .music the young Ophiuchus was making would be in for quite a surprise at the Arena. The Storyteller Judge sat near him, in her serpent form, as he babbled about merrily. "I know this is for Soldier, but thanks for helping out!" he laughed, turning his attention back to any incoming blanks. "Get ready guys! This is gonna be a fun mini game!"

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The Barracks
When: Day 266, Late afternoon
What:

[You return home empty handed after some time and have an oddly disproportionate idea of how many squidrats are in the ruins.

... Strangely, the Guardian doesn't seem as put out as he has with other missions.]

Who: Delpavo, anyone
Where: Geardorm
When: Day 265
What: OPPOSITE DAY

[Adults are children, men are women, children are adults, someone's a cat, and meals are suddenly extremely awkward.]

So I guess we just wait it out...

Where: Delphinus dorms
When: Day 261, evening
What: FAMILY meeting.

Soooo? Are we going to do this?

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Barracks
When: Day 259, morning
What:

[To those who HADN'T been outside last night, the rumbling shift that happens in the morning really isn't much different than the one you heard last night. The ground moves as the Guardian settles its coils comfortably again.

It's almost as if nothing happened at all.

However, Uraeus' uniforms become fine and extremely comfortable... while Uroboros finally falls behind. Caduceus is, again, in last place.]

Who: DelPavo, anyone who is crazy enough to not be cowering indoors
Where: Geardorm
When: Day 258, night, when some semblance of sanity has returned

...she hasn't woken up yet...

Who: Some new kid Uroboros...
Where: OPHIUCHUS
When: Day 257, midday
What: This couldn't possibly be a wake-up call.

[One rather dangerous looking boy is currently pacing around one of the upper levels of Ophiuchus, engrossed in reading the rulebook.]

Who: Anyone!
Where: The Arena
When: Day 255, afteroon
What: MINI-GAME...

[CLANG CLANG the familiar aggravating sound of animals not using kitchen utensils properly! And also a kid with a bullhorn]

HEY TEAMS GET DOWN HERE! QUICK! IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT! BLACK TEAMS TOO, WHY NOT, HA!!

[if you actually GO to the arena, you'll find that a good portion of it has been covered in what seems to be some sort of large, shoddily put together maze of wood and cardboard. Ash's Pokemon are running about with some cut outs and lots of string]

[also, once entering, either due to magic or a really freaking fast pokemon with the move "In a Dress", everyone who enters the arena finds themselves wearing a tunic in their team color and holding a map]

[over on a rock, carefully reading a video game manual SUPER INTRIGUING story book, is a three headed hydra]

((E-END GAME/PRIZES If you want to finish your thread for fun, please poke me this weekend! Otherwise the dungeon has been burned up/still on fire/rampaged by Cetus/completely looted/everyone is crazy. THANKS GUYS))

Where: Ophiuchus
When: Day 248, evening
What:

[Someone unfamiliar and looking a bit harried has just emerged from the stairs, metal cylinder still gripped tight. He pauses for a moment... then veers off right towards the training room, as if he's following something.]
