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: ???
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: 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: You. Yes, you.
Where: In your dreams :)
When: Who even knows anymore? Sometime while you're sleeping
What: So remember how you guys offed the god of dreams and left the one who likes nightmares? Remember how she feeds on fear and there's end-of-the-world panic going on? About that.

[My goodness. There sure are some awful dreams floating around.]

((OOC- Nightmare mingle post! Haunted is messing with everyone's dreams, twisting them into nightmares. Anyone affected will be unable to wake, and teammates watching them sleep will note that they take physical damage during the dream- until, at the very end, the nightmare breaks and you wake up, completely healed and with your beds mysteriously covered in blood. Go crazy, guys. Troll your teammates. Shared dreaming is enabled if you want it, with as many people as you want it with. :|b))

((ETA- to clarify, we are not running nightmares, this is all mingle. Share your private terrors with your teammates and friends, GO GO. /o/))

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: Everyone except for undefected Ophiuchus
Where: An abandoned dorm
When: Day DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYMORE
What: Fuck yeah rebellion!!!

[There have been people trickling into this abandoned dorm all day, some even wearing dorm-lined clothing perhaps. It's unfortunately devoid of furniture, but there are several jugs of water and glasses sitting in a corner for refreshments. If anyone was hoping for snacks, however, they'd better have brought their own.]

[OOC: There will be a mingle comment for general undirected social chatter. Any specific points of discussion should get their own top-level comment for organization's sake. Please feel completely free to make your own top-level comments! I'll link them here as I notice them for easy navigation. ♥]

Who: Hydracula
Where: Hydracula
When: Day 303...?? POST QUEENSPLOSION
What: this went well

[when people return home there is an Arson tied up and struggling and looking generally unpleased]

LET ME GO

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: Everyone
Where: The Southern Fields
When: Day 303?? Late
What: A little squiddy said...

[Should you have followed a squidrat that STOLE YOUR THING! YES THAT THING! or just one that was acting oddly, or even just a Delphinus who knocked and said there was a picnic arranged...

You eventually find yourself in the soft light of the southern fields, surrounded by wildflowers and the wary shret looking at you balefully from the ceiling.

In the red glow of the saltwater pools here... seems multiplied, many pockets of water scattered throughout the field, a breeze surrounding them... If you look INTO one, you seem to see somewhere else... hear the SOUNDS of another world...

But before you get that far, there really IS a picnic!

A few checkered blankets have been spread across the soft moss, and are filled with salads, a few fruity, girly wines and drinks, fruit slices, cubed cheese, egg custard, a variety of cold cut sandwiches. (and a few loaves of fresh bread and pies.. because Link is Link.) ... there is also a very, very burned thing of cole slaw. The squidrat by it is eating it PROUDLY.]

((OOC: GOOD END COMMUNICATION! GO. GOOD ENDERS, feel free to start a thread with your name, you'll be visible and audible in the pool, both of your connections are a little wavy and watery though...))

Who: Hydracula, others.
Where: Mt. Skullcrusher, elswhere.
When: Day 303, after things
What: Hydraculaing ALSO OH NO

[idk about you guys but Trixie'll be slinking home several hours after everyone else.]

[WHATCHA UP TO]

Who: Everyone?
When: Day 303, Morning (FOREDATED, please continue your 302 antics as you like)
Where: Could it be the arena?
What: ♥♥♥

[Now that everyone has returned to themselves and King has grown weary of pacing angrily about in the aftermath of yesterday's explosion, leaving the blanks in peace to return to wherever the Judges reside to continue his angry thoughts in private, it's time for a game! Some people may find themselves drawn to the arena whether they like it or not.

Persona is on the throne once more, and before her are the familiar couches with various members of teams sleeping on them: Roy, Kurow, Scowl, Parrot, and Yuta.

Persona herself seems more tense than usual on the throne. The hands of her statue are wringing themselves, and although she seems as chipper and eager as usual, there's an uneasy tension in her expression.]

Can you prepare yourselves once more? Will you work harder this time? More than merely facing it, can you bring yourselves to change what lies within your friends and teammates?

[ Sign ups || Oh no unconcious people || Mingle || Hearts/Note to latecomers || Endgame || Memories ]

[ King appears || A RIOTOUS DISTRACTION || Persona's end (But . . . ?) || An Announcement ]

[Heart runners to #heartpile please! You are also welcome to assume your character was unable to resist the pull to the arena if they would be ICly avoiding it but you still want to play. Likewise, if you don't want to play, just assume they were inside or Persona's pull didn't reach them. THIS IS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ONLY :Db

ETA: Mingle to end at 6:30 7pm EST right now]

Who: Anyone
Where: All around
When: Day 300, afternoon
What: Wandering Vulps

what's going on in the rest of Sabra?]

Who: Anyone.
Where: Anywhere.
When: Day 300, post game.
What:

[A bloodspattered Trixie is pulling her boots off and jumping into the lake.

What are you doing?]

(OOC: General mingle. Locations in title (if you want), tag around, do whatever, 8U)

Who: Aoko, Parrot, Kaito, anybody else
Where: Enroute to Pyxis
When: Day 298, early afternoon
What:

[SO. Getting your side clawed up by a raptor isn't fun for anybody.

It's possibly less fun when you're a very squishy Human Moeball. G-Good thing she's got Parrotman to help her get home.]

Who: Charles + Anyone
Where: Outside Lepus
When: Day 297, morning
What:

[ there's a seven foot raptor statue outside of Lepus, and Valerian is dusting his hands ]

What: Man there sure are Sabra-wide random fucking effects!

[REACT]

Who: Hydracula, Orion, some ophi traitor
Where: Hydracula, Venna's cavern
When: Day 296, Evening/During Curfew
What: Judge murder attempt #2!!1 And hilarious Mitsuru generated hallucinations\

[Due to the gaping hole in Orion's dorm that still hasn't been fully patched, they've been invited to stay the night with Hydracula. It's . . . interesting. Especially given Mitsuru's special brand of hallucinating as of late.

And later in the night, a second attempt at previous plans may be taking place . . .]

Who: Kaito, Aoko, others
Where: Somewhere between Hydracula and Pyxis
When: Day 296, post-game
What: All the Talking and Feelings

[a certain Vulp has once again missed the call for a game and is making his way back from cabbage gathering. 8| surely this is a normal, every day sort of day]

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))
